Anyone getting fed up of people posting about their ‘wholesome weekends’

[BluntJoker]

Keep seeing this pop up and think they sound pathetic . Am I alone in finding this annoying?

Never seen this phenomenon

True. I actually don’t know where people get the time to do this stuff

The nauseating, "I am blessed", "making memories", "elevate", "POV", "authentic self" etc are buzz words. "Wholesome" is one of this year's buzzwords.

This too will pass, only to be replaced by another buzzword which will be adopted by the vacuous on social media.

On the subject of words: yesterday's Times 2 supplement fashion editor informs me that "Marks & Spencer has a nice tiered and wrapped midaxi shidi..."

A "shidi" is apparently a "shirt-midi" which is apparently a mid length shirt dress and a "midaxi shidi" is a longer length shirt dress). I think we can all manage without "shidi", ditto "shacket".

Other than MN, I don't do social media, but these words are all over Twitter/X, too, imported from TikTok and Instagram.

@thesoundofwildgeese I quite like shacket but the others are bizarre.

Later today I'm going to potter off in my campervan into the sunset abounding with wholesome thoughts and dreams. Reality is that my van is absolutely filthy, I haven't had time to clean it, and I'm currently sat in a tyre fitters as I have two slow punctures and corroding wheels fixed. I've reversed into a tree so bits are missing off the back bumper, and the front bumper looks like a black and white jigsaw puzzle as the paint job was not prepped properly when they converted it. Once I arrive, I'll just have a deck chair and a plastic glass with my Jack Daniels and Coke in it, nothing to showcase. If I can camp peacefully, that would be awesome but the likelihood is that my 1yr old ott bouncy Labrador will offend someone and I'll come home with my tail between my legs. And I thank God none of it will be on social media.

I know which one I prefer 😎

I love seeing my friends holiday photos as I don’t have holidays( financial and disability reasons)
My DS3 is currently in Japan which looks absolutely stunning.
He has just been in the biggest Muji store in the world and bought me socks!

"Gross" 😑

Social media was designed for that reason exactly, to tell people how good a time you've had. I much prefer that to grouchy cranks telling them what they should and shouldn't do on social media.

I find all this utterly bizarre

Agreed! All these people complaining are also on social media, or they wouldn’t see the posts 😂 the irony.

I don’t know why but I read this in frank Gallagher voice and it kinda goes well together 😂😂

🤣🤣🤣

So you're the poster who doesn't like the Saturday and Sunday gang's wholesome weekend posts!

There is an extremely simple solution that I am surprised you haven't managed to work out for yourself..... Don't read posts that annoy you!

You're welcome - happy to help.

This is quite apt for us 😄. For years, we've not done anything as a family regularly at weekends due to DHs shifts, so lots of lazing around glued to the sofa. His new job freed up weekends and now we are away every other weekend visiting beautiful spots around the UK. In the few months we've done, Lake District/ Bamburgh/ Forest of Dean/ Wales. This weekend, we're currently kayaking (only bought on Friday from FB Marketplace) at Llyn Tegid in Wales.

I love being active after losing 4st and visiting gorgeous spots and happily post where we are, although I have a dedicated travel Insta account that I post more on. My SM friends are free to unfollow me if they hate seeing what I post 🤷‍♀️.

They absolutely do. A person I know, also refers to it as "swell" which makes me want to puke.
