Things in RECENT times you can’t quite believe we’re seen as ‘ok’

[LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet]

The Jeremy Kyle Show. Middle class man shouts at poor people who aren’t terribly bright, for not being perfect humans. So pleased it ended.

On X Factor and BGT when they used to show ‘funny’ auditions of people who believed they had talent but really didn’t so got laughed at. They then brought them back for the final to do a humiliating routine live so they could be laughed at more.

Supernanny. Childless woman who can barely speak properly pulls lemon faces, tells parents they’re shit and Instills sudden and sharp changes in the child’s home where actual camera are focussing on them when they’re distraught and upset

Sun sea and suspicious parents. Mum and dad spying on their adult children from a rooftop in Greece whilst said child gets off with a stranger. CREEPY!

So do I

Many friends have kids in private schools and I can not get my head around this !!!!!!

@Sadbeigechildren - "The way Catholic people living in Northern Ireland were treated as a second class nation. Couldn't trust the police force, had to cower at multiple army checkpoints just to go about their daily lives."

Just feel the need to point out that Protestant people also "had to cower at multiple army checkpoints just to go about their daily lives".... Not sure they had much faith in the police force either.

I’ll name him. Philip Schofield pretending to be all brave and revolutionary for coming out on national TV when he was forced out the closet thanks to the very open secret of grooming, while he wept in to Holly’s arms and we had to forget about his poor wife and the poor boy he’d been grooming.

Gross gross gross.

WTF? This is pure class/regional snobbery! Disgraceful.

Of course Jo has a standard vocabulary - and standard pronunciation for the English that people of her region and class use.

How dare you presume to judge and look down on someone who speaks in a different way to you.

A girl that went to school with my daughter appeared on the Jeremy Kyle show,something to do with having sex in a bus shelter I think.

Being forced to get naked and take a communal shower after PE at secondary school.

First job - the woman HAD to wear skirts.

Best not get a job in hospitality then 😂

Tbh most of the content on social media.the pressure it put on people the body,mental,emotional fuck up it brings

The abuse of mental health sufferers is still on going no matter how many whistleblow programs they make

Tories

Influencers

McDonald’s birthday parties being really common place and desirable seems pretty alien now…do they even still do them?

False eyebrows on teenagers

Fillers that make you look like a cartoon character

Botox on people in their 20s

Celebs promoting any of the above

Drag. I used to love watching drag race. Watched every season up until the most recent one. Mumsnet has opened my eyes to it and now I can't watch it.

Male PE instructors all (all the ones I encountered while at school anyway) being pervs.

Smoking, swearing etc in front of kids and in 80s kids movies.

Smacking. My mum and her friends traded technique tips.

Smoking inside. Ashtrays.

Racist, sexist jokes. My dad told the worst jokes about the Irish. (I’m now married to an Irishman).

Sexual harassment in the workplace. Still continuing everywhere, so must be considered “OK” by some.

Calm down, I haven’t judged her anywhere. But the very unusual way she pronounces some words isn’t to do with her region or class, it’s just odd pronunciation.

Never watched Supernanny but it’s really cheered me up to have a Google and discover “unassepabull”. That’s not a class/regional pronunciation; that’s just quite mad.

That people are literally surviving by the charity of donations to food banks

That the human rights act is being scrapped

That a full time wage isn’t enough to survive on, let alone support a family

That watching people mistreat creatures passes for entertainment

That animals are seen as commodities, put on Earth, for our convenience and entertainment, to be exploited at will

That the media is so controlling that it successfully tells people what to do, how to feel, how to act

That people are so comfortable calling for refugees to be left to die at sea, with no concern that their views are abhorrent and cruel

That people are forced to live in substandard, cramped living conditions - which should be more akin to Dickensian times than 2022

That people are so comfortable telling everyone else how they should live their lives, when they are doing no harm to anyone, but are equally happy to sot back and deny culpability or responsibility for atrocities - all too glad to distance themselves on the premise that “it’s not their business/ problem”

It’s really cheered me up to be so told off for pointing it out 🤣

Warm hubs in 2022

When I was at college doing A levels, we were allowed to smoke in the common room. This was around 2000-2002.

Smoking allowed on the top deck of the bus!

Smoking allowed in restaurants!

Sally Jessy Raphael in the late 90s early 00’s -send my teen to boot camp- those places were horrendously abusive.

That many abusive men are still walking free

That so few rapes are prosecuted

That the CPS is a total sham

"Unassessapul" is nothing to do with accents, it's just not talking properly.

Loads of nannies and childminders don’t have kids. Get lost.

For me it's girls having to wear skirts in some secondary schools and heavily frowned upon if they don't. My dd wore trousers all through primary school and wanted to wear them at secondary. The school were all "well it does go against our uniform policy" etc and it wasn't until we really insisted they reluctantly said ok. Only a few girls wear trousers in her secondary.

I'm all for uniform and being smart but forcing girls to wear skirts is so antiquated.

Irritating people on the internet that have an audience for mindless boring thoughts that pop in their head… oh wait.
