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 I also don’t care about people’s boring ‘raising awareness’ campaigns about their medical conditions. I don’t care about endometriosis, or adenomyosis, or unstable personality disorder.

I have a serious medical condition but it’s for me to deal with, I’m not under the impression others are in the slightest bit interested

😮 How can you say that about gin and expensive cheese 🧀 🍸

There are 26 pages of comments here which I haven’t read all of and I doubt anybody will get to mine. but OMFG the no-bread-for-ducks police need to get a grip. I bet every single bloody one of you has fed bread to the ducks with a child before.

Oh yes, I don't give a shit about fancy chocolate You can keep your Tony poncy Chocolonely and Green and Blacks. Just give me a Cadbury's caramel.

Fancy skincare

All these people saying "Who doesn't love skincare products?" - well I don't. I was in Boots the other day and there was the Premium Skincare section. Are people really paying £60 to £70 and probably more for little tubs of stuff because somebody on Instagram tells them to? I'll stick with my Boots own brand stuff.

I follow a vague relative on Insta who shows us her Saturday night skincare routine. About 20 bottles and tubs of stuff laid out that she religiously slathers on to her face. At the end her face is red and shiny - no thanks.

Also, sourdough.

AKA big holes held together with scanty, leathery, jaw aching material. How the fuck are you supposed to make a sandwich with it?

You may as well squidge some cheese, tomato and mayonnaise up in your hand, make a fist and suck it through the hole between your thumb and forefinger. You'd drop less filling, be no messier and your jaw wouldn't hurt.

Well this has started well 😬

I’m more a red wine and Dairylea kinda gal

😂 things people should care about but don’t - OP’s opening example - animals🫣

I truly don't give a shit about your "Identity". This nonsense craze has gone on too long already. Slap a label on yourself if you want but, for the love of all the deities, keep it to yourself. It just shows you up as a mindless fuckwit.

And please DON'T bring your whole self to work! Bring your work self to work. Save your angst and trauma for your friends/Mum/therapist, save your sex self for your private life. We'll all be happier.

I don't give a shit about other people's egos. I used to feel responsible for everyone's self esteem. That was a mistake.

I spend far too much time on Mumsnet. Don't give a shit about that, either 😆

What on earth is "vocal fry"

100% agree and yes a history of abuse is different but people who constantly berate their ex.I get it at first when your hurt ,upset and angry, you need a rant! As well as man haters ,I know couple of people who act like they hate all men and say they are never dating again blah blah but then they meet someone,move on etc and say they are now in a happy relationship but they are still bitter and twisted about their ex years later.Its only them its effecting,its unhealthy ,bore off, move on and enjoy the new happy life your saying you now have.

Kardashian’s.

I couldn't agree more. I even went to china to see them and it was then that I realised what stupid animals they are. You can't help those that don't want to be helped, let them go!

Black Lives Matter because I’m not black and have enough problems of my own to deal with. I support the sentiment but not something I would actively do anything about.

Don’t care about pigeons or rats. Would rather people didn’t scatter breadcrumbs all over the place, it encourages pigeons and rats.

The war in Ukraine.

Google is your friend here!

What do you look like tho…?

(Asked in jest! I’m sure you look great - in my experience people not bothered about fancy skincare either fall into the generically blessed, or the crazy lady living in a shed. Both of which are FABULOUS.)

"Perhaps they shouldn't be so greedy then? As I keep getting told....just because it's there doesn't mean I need to eat it!"

They're birds. They can't study nutrition!

My husband's cycling stats. Fortunately he has friends to discuss those with

I also don’t give a shit about the end AIBU posts moaning about husbands/boyfriends. They’re so fucking tedious.

OMG. Yy to 'Raising Awareness'. Most of the time, it's things we're all well aware of, and they just want to blather on/ have a rant/ have their 15 minutes.

And please DON'T bring your whole self to work!

Why do they always misinterpret it as "Bring your arse 'ole self to work"?

Yeah you're definitely a fella and if not, you're what the kids call a "simp" Men need to stay in their lane and out of womens spaces. It's a simple concept that worked for decades, men don't get to decide to change that.
