My Pet Peeve- birthday "chapters" whats yours

[JadoreLeFromage]

Am I being unreasonable (AIBU)?

I KNOW this is one of those things that mean nothing in the grand scheme of things, but it really "irks" me.

When people say/write in cards/post on social media "Chapter 40" at their 40th birthdays (or whatever age).

The day you turn 40, you are now in chapter 41!

You are not entering chapter 40; you entered that at 39. 🙄

Why does this annoy me so much? 😅

Same when people write "draws" instead of "drawers." Like nails on a blackboard.

1. AIBU?
2. Share your pet peeves, please!!

Low key
high key

M&S jumping on the ‘love that’ thing with their new slogan makes me cringe.
I think it comes from ‘love that for youuuu babes’

My Granny is approaching Appendix B.

Can the pilot even hear the clapping?

Making memories 😬😬😬😬

Also, I’ve seen two instagram accounts with this- “if they throw me to the wolves, I’ll return leading the pack” - in their bio.

Feck off with ya

Yes and that Chicken shop woman is bloody annoying too.

People that do it, definitely.

Christ, this may be the worst one yet. What does it even mean?!

His instead of he's, and vice versa, mostly in TOWIE.

Why are people everywhere issuing (the verb) invites instead of (the noun) invitations? My phone even autocorrects me now and it drives me crazy.

Literally never heard anyone refer to a birthday as a chapter.

Phrases that make me cringe on birthday posts…

Beautiful inside and out
My rock
Love you to the moon and back

I just generally hate "internet speak".

For example -
Hey guys! I curated this outfit from some of my favourite pieces and I'm literally deceased. It's giving icon. I'm heading out to grab a matcha and film some content now.

I'm pleased for everyone who hasn't seen it firsthand. For those saying "adjust algorithms," unfortunately, these are people whom I have known and have on Facebook. It's time to just switch off social media, though, in all honesty.

I have just googled it and found that even etsy sellers are at it

This is why I unfollowed my SIL on Facebook because my brother is an absolute bell end. All the personalised teddies and outlet Michael Kors bags won't make up for his aggressive demeanor and coke habit love.

I have never seen anyway say or do those.

Ooh, the fact that you can add gems for sparkle makes this even better 💖✨

I agree with all of this. When someone mentions a 'red lip', I wonder which lip they have decided to paint red.

I'm also cackling now at the thought of this style guru limping around half dressed with a single smokey eye and one red lip

Jesus Christ. This may have just unseated "It's not about waiting for the storm to pass it's about learning to dance in the rain." as my most hated, wanky, bullshit and bollocks phrases ever. 😆

When people say they’ve ‘done’ places. No, you’ve been to them. It’s usually the same people who make their gap-year in Asia their entire personality

Grown women who refer to themselves as girlies, boak.

This made me laugh 😂

This made me laugh and love your user name 😂

A new one that's popped up on local traffic reporting - where there's a queue it now has a "get through" - eg, the A1 is busy at junction 38 with a get through of 30 minutes. Unbelievably irritating 😡
