Things you're supposed to give a shit about, but you don't.

[BrickTraybake]

You know those little things in life that people like to morally police and make you feel guilty about but you just can't muster up the shit to give?

This is a confession thread. I'll start.

I don't give a shit that you supposedly shouldn't feed bread to ducks. I don't care. Don't eat it then. People have been feeding them bread for decades and now we're supposed to bring them organic bloody walnuts or something? Or some other crap they don't want that doesn't float?
They can have my slightly mouldy bread and be grateful.

Over to you.

Being “well travelled.” So many people boast about their travelling like anyone else gives a shit. Bore off- it doesn’t make you a more interesting person fyi -that would be your actual personality 😄

Oh and bloody football. Loathsome.

Oh bore off. The ducks in my town are fed bread every day, several times a day, and they are thriving. I've been feeding the same duck bread for at least six years. People talk such rubbish. A pp said it's like feeding them junk food - so what? I eat junk food and I also eat healthy food, as do the ducks.

Some people seem to exist solely to suck the joy out of everything

My colleagues fake illnesses. She's never well it's boring

Agree on the dog thing. And now they're allowed in Selfridges and John Lewis etc. disgusting

Sunscreen.
Constant water drinking - ‘hydrating’.
Daily showers

What a horrible thread. By and large confirms how nasty and selfish people are.
Yuck OP.

The Royal Family.

I could take them or leave them.

DP has a bee in his bonnet about them (he’s a Scouse Republican) “nobody is born above me”.

My grandma loved them and bought all the Charles & Di memorabilia when they got married & would send them wedding anniversary cards right up to when they got divorced.

I couldn’t give a monkeys about what they do.

The environment. I don’t give a single shit.

I refuse to recycle; I’m not sorting my rubbish - everything just goes in one bin.

I will travel as much as I like by my preferred method at the time. I let the water run while I brush my teeth, have long showers and use the hose all summer.

I will not inconvenience my life on other people’s hysterias.

You obviously don't know the first thing about ducks. They trample over each other to get to the bread, "any that isn't eaten" rarely happens.

Haha. Yes indeed. Roughly translated as 'I've said something I can't support with any evidence, rationale or logic. I'm completely unable to form an intelligent rebuttal to the thing you've said that I disagree with, so I'm going to cite my right to an opinion in lieu, because that's the one thing you can't disagree with.'

Oh, and feeding ducks bread is fine. They took back the whole don’t feed ducks bread thing when they realised they were STARVING the bloody ducks.

I'm an environmental scientist, and trust me, it happens!

Oh yes!

I don't care about what the grandchildren of people my mother worked with (retired 20 years now) are doing neither do i care about Pamela, you know Pamela who lived in the house on the corner, well the person she shares a rota with at the charity shop's brother went on a cruise and got norovirus.

I also don't care that I don't play the flute anymore (been over 40 years since I played in fact) despite my mother telling me the last time we spoke that it is one of the things that has made her most sad that I gave up when i had such promise. She was in tears about it. Honestly, if that's the only thing she has to complain about then her life is just fine.

It actually isn’t. Ducks who live on bread live for about as fifth as long as ducks living on their natural food. It literally kills them as it fills their stomachs with nutrient poor food.

My husband.

I don't give a fuck if people swear on here. People who type f**k need to grow up and stop being so prissy.

Just thought of a few more

Middle class family camping trips to trendy campsites or family festivals. I don’t care for camping. I don’t need to go to a local “farm” to do silent discos or rum & reggae nights (it’s not a farm if they run events!) while camping.

Don't you ever have men in your home?

@Jewelanemone really hope you never suffer with proper mental health problems. It has ruined half my life.

Putting dogs on one's hole is also illegal.

Professional-looking baking. Regularly see posts on here fretting that the birthday cake they have made for their child looks “unprofessional”- when did we all shift to thinking home baking should look like professional baking? It should taste reasonably nice and be made with love- it doesn’t have to look like you bought it. And it leads to people spending £100 they haven’t got on a 4yo’s birthday cake, probably full of crap and covered in disgusting fondant, when the 4yo would have been just as happy with a homemade sponge. We should re-embrace the imperfect.

(None of this is saying anyone has to bake. But if you choose to bake, cut yourself some slack.)

That’s only because by feeding them people are creating duck populations larger than the natural food supply can support. If people stop feeding them, the populations will return to their natural levels and the duck populations will be healthier and live much longer.

Anyway, if you must feed them, get them some proper duck food not bloody bread. Feeding them bread is like deciding to send food to a human famine zone but sending nothing but doughnuts for people to live on.

Also I never gave a shit about advertising my musical tastes on my child’s clothing. Your newborn is not a Ramones fan.

Moot point, because they haven't 🤷🏻‍♀️

If they pulled out on me deliberately, or ran me off the road deliberately, then yes I would care.
I don't think there are many people out there who intentionally go out to crash into other people though 🤔
Those that do are looking at prosecution.
