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.

This is is issue really isn't it. A man in a wig - yes you probably don't want them in your toilet. But so many trans women looks amazing, and I doubt you'd ever know. Like the entire case of Pose. Also, the sort of trans women who go to such incredible lengths to look as they do, are unlikely to go to all that effort just to have easy access to women.
So the issue really is how well they pass as a woman. Or, you'd likely never even know.

I don't care about trends. Particularly online trending. I think people who follow them or care about them are losers.

I also don't care about the 'you can't say that anymore', yes I can. I can say what I want in a private capacity and have whatever opinion I want and you can love or hate it but do not tell me what I can or cannot think or say.

They actually always wanted bread not the other stuff ,plus charging as well 😂

Me neither. It’s quite perverted.

This is my favourite mums net thread ever.
I don’t give a single shit about ducks, nails, men using public toilets that have a picture of a triangle person on them.

there was a thread on here the other day about ‘unauthorised absence’ from school. I don’t give a shit if my kid misses the occasional day of school. I left school with 0 GCSE and now I have a masters degree. Seriously no one cares if you passed an essay on Romeo and Juliet.
ive been known to give my kid the day off, call in sick and watch modern family on a mattress in the living room. No worries at all about her future employment.

DH has a photo on his phone of a grey squirrel eating an avocado with his two hands.

He's out now doing his manly cycling hobby but I'll see if I can get it off his phone later.

Love the rat story.

Neurodiversity is a bit more than just a quirk and people often do need a label to be able to access support, reasonable adjustments etc.

Hard agree, sourdough is awful. Nowhere near as nice as a thick slice of Hovis.

Thanks I didn't actually know that.

My sister is obsessed with her teenage son getting his 100% attendance award at school. He goes in through all sorts of illnesses just to get this award, he loves getting it too. He was off doing some sports thing one time and she wrote a letter to the school to plead a special case for this absence not to be held against him when it came time for his award. I cannot fathom why they give a solitary shite if the kid has a day off school but I suppose we are all different!

Is it easier for your testicles if you pee sitting down....

Trans issues...l am so damn tired of hearing about others sexuality l could scream.

I dunno, maybe if people bang on about it long enough the extremely basic penny that trans is not a sexuality will drop for you…

I am sure you don't want to hear about my straight sex life/identity/journey/blah

On the contrary, I’m all ears. Please do tell me about the journey you had to go on to understand and accept your sexuality in a world where the vast majority of people are not straight and those who are and are in the public eye are pressured to lie about it even now, straight marriage was illegal in the UK until 2014, and it’s still illegal to be straight in 64 countries. I’m sure you’ve had a real rollercoaster ride.

Other people’s Mental Health. Unless it’s really serious. And people who want to label every little personality trait as being “special,”expecting special concessions.

Morrissey.

I don’t care what his political leanings are.

Getting a diagnosis is one thing, and it is important to access help, etc. Making it your identity is another.

Sorry but I think someone worded it wrong.
The vast majority of the world are straight.
Male wants female.
Female wants male.

Most just want children .

I am loving some of these replies. Mine is patriotism. Couldn't care less or be proud of the fact that I happened to be born in an arbitrarily defined bit of land. I don’t find the accomplishments of other people born there something to be proud of, though happy for them ofcourse. I think the concept is ludicrous.

Am I SUPPOSED to give a shit about pronouns though? Or football? Or the royal family?

I like ducks though (enough to bring special food for them.) And I like women's toilets with no men in them.

That's so interesting because I genuinely find lions and tigers and elephanrs to be quite boring. They are not local to me so I am only going to see them in captivity, not doing anything particularly interesting.

I love local wildlife and I love watching their behaviour all around me in their natural habitat, the way it changes with the seasons. I love foxes, squirrels, badgers, hedgehogs, birds and frogs so much more than a lion on another continent

Recycling.
I'm from a country that's double the size of here and recycling is so far down the list of things there. If only those washing bottles and keeping scraps know how pointless it is when i think what's happening in my country.

Other people's issues. All I want is not to be bothered/ impacted.

How much screen time my kids have.

😧

Yes
