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.

Oh, bless - yes, that whole Pamela thing. Still, my mother cared about it and I now wished I tried to show more of an interest

This is me, Ive felt like this since I was about 12.

The other ducks eat them to make up for the nutrients they've lost from their all bread diet.

For me its dogs. I just don't care. No, they're not part of the family, the number of people who say that then give them a lethal injection when they get a bit old. No, they're jumping up at me isn't friendly. No, they don't love you, they love that you give them food.

I do not give a flying fart about other people's political views.

I agree about the babies and children in band t-shirts for bands that are old enough to be their parents' grandparents. I find it so odd.

Nails and the beauty industry generally. I hate long nails on anyone.

Also status cars on finance. Why would you do that to yourself and your family's income. Average or lower than average earners spending £500 + per month on a car. I can't see how a £50k family car is any more necessary or useful than a £8k family car.

I'm another one that doesn't 'get' David Attenborough, I've seen no indication that he's wonderful and find it confusing that so many people do. I'm sure he's a perfectly nice man, but can't applaud him travelling around bothering animals the world over.

This thread is great but could be made better - if only we were using our real names and then everyone would know exactly which selfish and ignorant twunts to avoid.

Good point. There was a thread about getting an emergency ambulance and one poster said that they had to explain to the call handler that they're autistic.... I really thought that took the biscuit.

🤣 this thread is hilarious.

I don't care if people agree with me or not I don't care I'm not changing what I think just because you can't cope with my opinion.

I don't care about dogs they are so overrated. Smelly needy and really annoying. Also when people let them lick their face it actually turns my stomach and I honestly think less of someone if they do this.

Trans rights just bloody bore off already.

Politics

Being politically correct.

To Bread Heaven?

I don’t care about Harry and/or Meghan.
They can live their lives however they want, it won’t affect mine.

There is bound to be a database in China/Russia that you can buy if you are that interested... 🤫

Why? It's just a run of the mill Mumsnet thread!

Not saying I don't believe you, but where does this happen? 'Big long swinging boobs' has made me laugh so much😆😆

Not everything that women do is about men.

The fact that your research showed that women do something that men don't even notice and yet you're baffled that women keep doing it, just shows how internalised your misogyny is.

I started to think about things I don’t give a shit about. There are lots of things. Then I thought can be bothered to write a list of things I don’t give a shit about. Then I realised that I couldn’t be both..

Is that because you are one and it works in your favour? Literally the only type of person that wouldn’t care about it

Taylor swift

To be fair I think there was something nice about close communities where people took an interest in each other. The problem is that it's translated so badly to the modern transient world now that it simply isn't something worth giving a shit about anymore.

Yeah - find it difficult o get a flicker of excitement from how they live their lives

Pronouns- get over yourself.

99% of what is posted on social media - ‘paint colours I used in my house (part 1)’ ‘5 things I won’t be doing with my second born’. Who considers this stuff other people need to be informed of and who are the people that seem to actually care?! Clearly in a minority here but give me a photo of your dog any day.

Same, I will never get this.

For context, I've been a very present, mainly SAHM, breastfed, attachment style parenting blah, blah, blah BUT surely you feel happy for them that they're growing up into great young people.

I was very perplexed each time when people (mothers) got upset that year 6 was coming to an end!

Weddings. I find them so boring and false. I've been to a few where I knew the bride was cheating and the groom had secret gambling debt. So I just find it all very performative.

This. WTAF is WRONG with some people?
