what 'trends' really (maybe unreasonably) make your teeth itch?

[littlerayofsunshite]

Some things really piss me off. Those wall stickers 'live, laugh, love' and other shitty phrases for example. Another is those glittery wine glasses/bottles being sold on every Facebook page. Then there are those books that have been turned into words and classed as art.

There are more. Wow there are more but before I go on, are these common pet hates or AIBU a miserable bitch

And stampy's laugh which sounds like an asthmatic donkey.

I loathe and detest those black & white photos of tiny, naked babies manhandled into an unnatural position with a fucking colour popped flower or wooly hat on their heads. Bleurgh.

And yes, those glittery goblets people keep liking in Facebook are the epitome of ghastly.

Having read this thread it seems that not being on Facebook is saving me a lot of stress in my life, which I am glad about!

I can't believe I don't know what those glittery goblets are - link anyone?

Making normal words sound "cute" makes me want to punch the person saying it. "Surezies" and "sozzles" are not words adults should be using.

the attribution of 'inspirational' quotes to entirely unrelated people. Facebook, of course

Yes- there's the anti-gangster "when we were young we were respectable and didnt go out car-jacking" rant, which has been attributed to pretty much every old, famous, black dude on the planet (Bill Cosby, Morgan Freedman etc.) I reckon Eddie Murphy is almost old enough to make the cut now.

Elf on the shelf. Creepy American and just plain wrong.
Fitness bores on my Facebook feed. I don't give a shit how much metafit you've done or how far you've ran.
Hipster anything - "craft" beer really boils my piss.
And how everyone has about 97 tattoos now...just why?

Sorry for the swearing ??

Open Days when you're trying to buy a house. Hate them. Last house we bought 10 years ago and there were no Open Days, just good, old fashioned, normal viewings.

People who stop & step aside for you (you didn't ask), when the pavement is wide enough and then mouth "thankyou";
People who pull faces at you from their cars, when they stop for you, and you're trying to get toddler/ kid on roller-skates across the road/just trying to cross the road

People who honk at you, just 'cos you're on a bicycle (this is actually bullying).

Er...Mazza I am not sure that any of these actually count as current trends but I would politely suggest that if they all regularly happen to you then you might have a few issues with spatial awareness and jus awareness in general…..and possibly manners.

Hipster beards. Enough now.
Peplum sticky out bits.
Winter, had enough.

" Food that's described as "pan-fried" or "oven-baked"

How the frigging hell else would you fry something, if not in a sodding pan?

Right, I'm off to make a cup of tea with kettle-boiled water"

this come up loads, does no ome else remember deep fat fryers?

Really bushy beards I think they might be a health hazard

Trees inside restaurants why?

Juice bars I really don't get why you would part with £7 for a plastic bottle of seaweed and Orange juice

All this shite about 'lifestyle selling' when your house is on the market.

We do not drink Bollinger for breakfast, wear Gucci loafers, hire private jets, nor are be best friends with David Hockney.

If we did all these things we would not be living in a suburban semi.

False nails. They look false, basic tasks have to be carried out as if deactivating a bomb and the Chinese workers who do them for a pittance and babe been linked to human trafficking. I always associate them with corsets and other impractical self imposed fashions of oppression.
Saw some Cath kidston ones on a friend. Two of my hates combined.
Actually feel grumpier now!

Trees inside restaurants why?

I really want a tree in my rather teeny house.

Why? It brings the outside in, but I'm sure the condensation is a killer.

'Love you to the moon and back'

Brilliant thread!
I don't like the 'we are pregnant' big reveals. Scans photoshopped onto tummies etc. On top of gender reveals and baby showers, it all just makes me a bit nervous.
I'm all for letting people know you're pregnant and for finding out the sex too but I think full on celebrations should be saved for after a safe arrival.

"I know, right"
as a response to anything

hipster men dressed as Victorian orphans or the cast of Oliver

Putting yourself on a "juice cleanse" or some sort of completely unnecessary detox (do you not have a liver?!) and then blaring on about how great you suddenly feel after a bout of "clean eating".

What a load of bollocks.

Just marking place. Looking forward to a good moan when I have time later.

I'm in a really bad moo

I do not want a fucking venti, tall or grande coffee. I would just like a nice regular sized coffee please. I will not say those stupid words and you cannot make me.

I understand Kanye West is not a trend but I despise this man. His arrogance and disrespect for everyone else in the world makes me rageful.

To all you rich, famous celebrity type mothers in the world, we are so very happy you began exercising the day after your c- section. We understand you are very thrilled with your toned body, three weeks after giving birth to twins but please spare a thought for those of us without access to full time nannies, chefs and gyms.

'hun'

That is all.

(well it's not but everything else has been covered...)
