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

When you read/hear about how to " rock" an oufit. Or how to "rock" at doing something.

Kale.

I like Kale, I just don't like that something my grandad used to grow in his allotment (don't get me started on allotments) is now cool. It's just cabbage.

But I don't say "thank you, driver", I say "thank you, Fred" if I don't know their name I just say "thank you"!!

You are now stealth boasting about your broad social network shrunken!

Coconut water. It just tastes like Dioralyte.

Ha ha, funnyossity, yup me and my mate Fred the bus driver!

Listicles.

Because, lists.

My top irritation is bloody homeopathy. yeah, sure, popping that tablet under my tongue is reeeeeeally going to sort my life out

"She has something to say, and once she begins to talk, she brings a whole room to tears." I'm not describing it well.

Wanton I know exactly what you mean and it makes me roll my eyes too.

I now refuse to open any link that comes with a description of a fairly mundane scenario followed by those annoying words…. 'what happened next will amaze you.'

It almost never does.

Has anyone mentioned the word 'bae' yet (translation: partner)? It means British Aerospace you twats

Piper, it also means 'poo' in Danish

Words used on forums like 'totes' and 'hun'.

When on public transport & some stupid arse gets off & says 'cheers drive'

Every bastarding picture being hashtagged. A girl on my FB recently posted a selfie, above it hashtagged were #selfie #hair #girl #love. REALLY?!!

Being called 'hun'

Baby showers. The mum to be says she's having one so that "she can see everyone before the baby arrives" & invites randomers that she wouldn't piss on if they were on fire. What she really means is that she wants presents & as many of them as possible so is throwing a shit party to beg for them.

Teenagers & Instagram & all the silly phrases & slutty pictures they post. When I was a teenager, you didn't take selfies & any pictures of you were destroyed thanks to awkward haircuts, bad skin & dodgy eye shadow that you got in Claire's for a £1. Also, when I was a child we played outside not on bloody Minecraft or Twitter, we used to stay out as close to curfew as we could & used our Nokia phones to play Snake in class.

My god that felt good.

Ems !

And I was going to modernise my "Thankyou Driver" to "Cheers Drive" as part of my refreshing myself for Spring self improvement programme.

Thankyou Driver is fine, Cheers Drive is not! The driver is not a drive!

How about "Cheers, Driver." ?

For goodness sake, calling the driver "Drive" is just a regional colloquialism. Not a #trendy #hashtag #thing. OK in Wales & Bristol, weird anywhere else.

Yelling "Drive!" as you leap headlong into a taxi, otoh, makes you feel you're in a movie chase scene; highly recommended to break the monotony of any grey city day

Phrases like 'my got to little black dress' my go to outfit etc.

Fuck off!!

'Go to' I mean

My teenage sister and her friends use "Bae" to take the Piss. Awful word. Awful awful awful.

I have no idea what this 'Bae' means at all. I have never heard it.

Also never heard Cheers Drive.

Before Anyone Else pathetically pleased with myself for being 'down wit dem kids

Can also be used with reference to a best friend.

Apparently.

Just got an email about wearing 'the shoe of the season' to go with 'the trouser'.

Yes, I think 'articalising' (?) things goes along with singularising them too (we saw lion and giraffe on holiday)

How about "Thanks for the journey!"?
