Why is everyone such a wet lettuce?

[gorlomi]

Hand-wringing over badges. Upset over name origins. The list goes on and on.

Are people just bored and want some attention online or something?

It's my own fault for reading threads on here, and having other social media I guess!

Social media has definitely brought out the drama llama's. Everyone seems to be an anxiety riddled mess nowadays. God knows how it started but I doubt it will get better when they've got all these platforms to whinge on😂

I'm having a good old whinge here, ironically. My god social media is dreary - just people moaning, 'spreading awareness', wanging on and on about shit that happened decades/centuries ago.

It's altogether very boring.

What was the name origin thread?

I'm shocked at how much people reveal about themselves. I'd be terrified of stalkerish behaviours

Something something Arabic name for a while child

I saw a video yesterday about how to get mentally prepared for winter. Splitting out the weeks into zones and what needs to be done in those to get through mentally.

Or you could….go about your life as usual with a coat and hat and turn the lights on earlier.

Amazing!

We all need some resilience.

I honestly despair.

But what about the transition to spring next year? AAARGH! I'm not prepared! Someone HELP!

This post made my day!

I'm not. I am a crispy snapping carrot.

You'd think....

I agree completely
Honestly just too much effort to mither on about such nonsense
I'm glad you had a moan though as I though I had had some sort of empathy bypass and thought it was just me

Haha I've just read the bin thread...😆

I feel bad moaning but it's also feels really good.

I've been into a lot of history videos on YouTube recently and it amazes me that our society is like this in such a relatively short amount of time.

Maybe Covid was an accelerant.

Enlighten me please?

Entitled 'bad neighbour etiquette'. [checks that@gorlomi is not the OP of that one]

You can't even wish for snow on here without someone carrying on like you are personally manifesting a conga line of broken hips and wrists at A&E.

Haha you're safe. Wasn't me.

in fact, I opened that thread earlier and even I couldn't be bothered to finish the op such was the pathetic nature of it all

Looooool!! Indeed you can't.

Ditto wishing for sun, rain, drizzle, mist, fine, fair, any other type of weather - someone will have a whinge

I agree op. We call them a wetter where I’m from 😆

Someone's neighbour failed to take their bins in, the horror 🙀

I love that you think they’re being petty when you’re deliberately not moving bins that are blocking your drive just so you can feel angry that someone else hasn’t moved them yet 😬

OP: It makes me feel sick touching bins tbh. I can do my own but no I’m not doing a task I loathe for someone who’s more than capable of doing it.

I don't think MN as a whole is representative of the population, as is perhaps natural with a critical mass of people who live their life glued to a website and SM while increasingly being unwilling to answer the door, speak with strangers, go to a social event, take public transport, go to the cinema alone, drive on a motorway, countenance fireworks on Nov 5th, socialise with anyone from extended family at Christmas etc etc.

It's an improvement on last week's problem of someone's mum thinking they don't open their curtains "correctly".
And them actually caring about that.

I AM NOT A LETTUCE - wet or dry! 😡
