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

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

Making vegetables into worm-like strings so you can eat them in place of pasta.

In two years time, I'm going to promote the brilliant idea of squeezing wheat dough into worm-like strings you can eat in place of spiralised vegetables Wink

Haha whoops funnily enough was just going to come back on to complain about people saying "Totes hilaire" or even plain "hilaire". I hate it. And then I see the second poster has used it... Still hate it more than words can say though

One of my Facebook friends has just written "I've just sourced a Mars Bar and a can of Coke from the shop".

Really? Bet that was hard to "source".

MonstrousRatbag · 04/03/2015 17:17

Good one, Gallic!

Drove past the Shabby Grabby Chic Shit shop in my nearest town today, and thought about this thread. There were two wooden "chairs" outside, a mouldy green colour of the type my grandparents used to keep in the garden. The dogs slept on them, we built dens with them, they were destined for the bonfire one day. Rickety, cheap, no redeeming features.

Forty five effing quid each !

I'd rather have £45 worth of pulled pork, served on a shovel by a tattooed vintage housewife with a beard and skinny jeans.

AgathaF · 04/03/2015 17:37

We're mums. Maybe moms if you are in the midlands

No, absolutely not. I'm in the midlands and I'm mum, mummy when they were small. Never been mom, nor has anyone I know. Oh, apart from one person who is, frankly, a bit up her arse and thinks she's from New York (she's not).

It's already been mentioned, but why the fuck is everyone starting sentences with "So,,,". Argh!

“I’m selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.”

I don't think I have to explain why this makes me want to sick up my soul.

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 04/03/2015 18:49

Oh yes Clueing. I always feel like saying "...are you trying to tell us you're a bit of a dickhead?"

LaurieFairyCake · 04/03/2015 18:55

"Resting Bitch Face"

I love the actual thing, the don't fuck with me/patronise me/ or treat me like a twat because I will know.

But MEN saying it is just another way to insult and degrade women.

So just fuck off, you fucking twat monkey.

Nicenewdusters GrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrin I actually did Lol! I sometimes half smile at something but this was a proper snort!

AnnieMoor · 04/03/2015 19:13

Keep yer shabby/vintage/upcycled crap to yourselves and stop putting it on FB where soppy dates will like it and therefore force me to waste energy loathing it all.

Latest one - someone has come up with the bright idea of selling spoons and forks on which she has stamped a whimsical message to tug at the heart strings. Slap on a manky bit of old lace & a button and you can snap one (yes, one) up for about £15!

ProfessorProfessorson · 04/03/2015 19:15

The fashionable animals thing: !

And ok I'll stop now

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 04/03/2015 19:31

I hope those of you who feel the hate for wanky food and wanky food descriptions are ready for the new series of Masterchef...smile I bet it's full of "pulled pork served with beetroot cooked three ways" FUCK OFF

I get irrationally ragey when they describe something as deconstructed. My dh knows this and laughs at me. It sounds as though it's been made up and pulled apart again. No, they just didn't make it up properly.

Deconstructed pork. Angry Grin

howyalikedemapples · 04/03/2015 20:19

Go to, as in my go to dress is, or our go to restaurant is. Aargh whats wrong with favourite or preferred?

Also hashtags, dont do twitter but understand they are needed on there but anywhere else just no.

happybubblebrain · 04/03/2015 20:20

"I have no words" - yes you do, that was 4.
"Taking it forward" - management wank speak.
"It is was it is" - fuck off.

happybubblebrain · 04/03/2015 20:21

"It is what it is" - still fuck off.

3isthemajicnumber · 04/03/2015 21:18

This thread is brilliant.
I too hate the stick people stickers in cars. They make me want to drive into them.
Also I hate it when people refer to 'baby' as in "when is baby due?". It's THE baby.
Also a lot of men I know currently look like fishermen. Stop it.
Weaning photos on Facebook. Really? I can see a baby covered in food 3 times a day in my own kitchen thanks.

almondfinger · 04/03/2015 21:23

Oh yes, to all of the above, but particularly 'my bad' at the moment. Your what? What the f* are you trying to say? A good friend texted it to me the other day and I have to say she went down a few notches in my estimation.

Also 'Foodies'

The term 'on trend'

shrunkenhead · 04/03/2015 22:29

I would never say "yes, minister, captain, doctor" unless in a comedy manner! Even if I worked with a minister/captain/doc I'd still use their REAL name. I hate the pretense. Even if I go to the docs and s/he is particularly helpful I just say "thank you". If someone asked if I'd like to meet, for example, the captain of a ship/plane I'd say "hello, I'm shrunkenhead, pleased to meet you" hoping they'd say "I'm Brian/Fred/Jemima etc how's the flight/voyage?"

shrunkenhead · 04/03/2015 22:33

Oh yes, "my bad..." is ridiculous. I'm always anticipating the "my bad...."what? My bad knee? My bad experience at the dentist? My bad error of judement? My bad....? Your bad what???? Is it meant to be cutsie/childlike??
