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.

If the Brazilian government are determined to sell the rain forest off and let it be destroyed - we can’t stop them. It’s awful, sad, it’ll destroy us all in the end, but #notourforest

I'm not desperate to be perimenopausal... I'd love to be the opposite! Having been perimenopausal for about 4 years now, I miss being able to get to my period without hormones causing even more havoc than they need to. Plus, having a whole range of symptoms from tinnitus, gingivitis and brain fog isn't something I'd ever had said were desirable. Give me just good old period pains any day 😳

Mmmmm, crispy duck.....😋

That’s pretty horrible. Obviously not a light hearted thread if, as the OP, you take delight in confessing you don’t give a shit about living creatures and will actively harm them. Not a thread I’ll contribute to except to say is there an award for most unlikeable opening post.

I read that they are dying because in the winter people aren't feeding them bread anymore and they are struggling to find food. I'm pretty sure bread doesn't kill ducks anyway, people have been feeding them for decades.

The Royal Family
I honestly don't give a toss

When the Queen gave her heartfelt speech to all us NHS/Essential Workers in Covid it made no difference to me (NHS worker , out there in Covid ) The RF are a group of people with the best in Healthcare and never need to worry that they won't be able to pay for their boiler to be repaired or there is food on the table .
I sympathise with their health issues but it doesn't have me wailing .

Botox-
Do it / Don't do it . If you want to inject a toxin into your face , crack on.

Microblading-
so many people post on Style&Beauty about their wonderful brows and in 99% of cases I think "What - you paid someone to do that to you"?
Lots of gushing Oh they look great replies , I am thinking "We have a different definition of great "

I tried feeding the ducks at my local pond veg , they weren't interested. I went back to bread and see lots of others feeding them bread. There's a thriving community of ducks there. I've never seen a dead one.

Love this! I'm sure I'd find myself highly irritating in lots of ways too.

I get you but that's essentially what babies/ v young kids are like. They can't really make too many choices.. so if you see a cool t shirt etc, why not? Unless it's something particularly awful. We have a great pic of my daughter as a one year old in a spurs kit - she might give us some guff about that if she ever sees it 😂

I agree.

What is deeply annoying is when eating as a group and someone appoints themselves the chief of gathering a tip.

See also being on a coach trip and feeling forced to tip the driver - why??

This isn't America, all service staff get paid at least minimum wage. Why should someone on min wage themselves feel obliged to give some money to another person on min wage? It is utterly illogical.

If you want to fine but don't guilt others into doing it. Do yo tip everyone else who serves you on min wage? What about the young cashier at the corner shop - weird social constructs.

Well, this is awkward

I don't give a shit about how many people claim benefits.

And how sanctimonious others are 🤷🏼‍♀️

An ‘academic study’ on whether blokes care about women’s manicures? I’ve heard it all now🤦🏻‍♀️ What a waste of time 🤣

Microblading = having a barcode tattooed on either side of your forehead.

And nobody ever think theirs is obviously not real eyebrows 😆

I don’t care about dogs.

And thank you cards 🤮

Reality tv. Who watches that shit

Totally sympathise and agree with you, it's crap BUT haven't you noticed every other menopause, women's health thread is basically, ooh my period is two hours late, can I be Peri? Or ooh my left nipple itched for 3 seconds, is this the start of Peri? Ooh I shouted at my husband because he sniffed, is this the start of Peri? Everyone is obsessed with getting HRT! Go away Davina!!!!!!!

People claiming body positivity and posting pictures with their big long swinging boobs out hoping for compliment.

The argument about feeding starving ducks bread in the winter..... most people aren't freezing their arses off throwing bread at a frozen lake. They're there in their droves in the summer, over feeding them and the bread ends up rotting at the bottom of the lake. That's even if it wasn't already mouldy in the first place 🙄 I'm forever having to prise bread from my dog's jaws that's furrier than she is.

Ducks like lettuce. I don’t like lettuce I like bread. Win win.

unless we share the same hobby I don’t care about yours.

Agreed. Davina and her HRT can get in the bin.
