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

BB? dont know what that stands for ... should be BF but even that is a bit too much, we'll stick with mate!

Chicken served upside down with the feet still on.

Brilliant! I have a friend who embraces just about all this shite on fb. I feel cleansed

Completely agree about the 'glass of wine with friends' property twattery. Fuck that, you'll be opening your bills and cleaning dogshit off trainers there.

AND ANOTHER THING.

When people write something and the write. 'This.' Sorry pps, lovely as you are. See also: 'That is all'.

Chuckling at the notion that pulled pork is trendy. Where I'm from (US deep south), it's just food.

Artisan - as in a bollocking artisan sandwich. What crap, what artisan crap

Nom
Nom nom
Foodie
Foodporn
Lol
"From scratch"
"Oozes class"
"It's all good"
"So shoot me" Okay!

Also, starting a spoken sentence with "So," as though I've just begged you to lengthily fill me in on whatever the fuck you're talking about.

Starting a written sentence with "So,…" It's irritating.

The ongoing grand for all fashion people/editors/bloggers/people to turn their toes in when being photographed. I don't think Jess Cartner-Morley has turned her toes out now for around five years. It's NOT cute. It's affected, ubiquitous and really annoying.

Hashtagging everything. It's makes you look like a lemming idiot.

Randonly dropping 'like' into the middle or on to the end of sentences.

And what the fuck are 'playdates'? Isn't it just going over to play?

Artisanal :

A guy on the news referred to ISIS having "artisanal oil production" last week; I thought of MN.

*Randomly

Kids/teens on Instagram commenting on each other's photos with
"You're so pretty"
"No, You're so pretty"
"No I'm not , you are"
Etc etc etc!

Loving this thread

Can I add anything and everything 'quirky', 'vintage' or 'upcycled'? Especially when it's all three. IT'S NOT QUIRKY IT LOOKS LIKE ALL THE OTHER TAT, IT'S NOT VINTAGE IT'S TAT LIKE I MENTIONED, AND UPCYCLED JUST MEANS USING ONE CRAPPY THING FOR ANOTHER CRAPPY PURPOSE.

trend

Saying FOR instead of ABOUT...
I'm so excited for the weekend!!

Also hate "space". Met a lovely guy at a party a couple of years ago, asked him what did. "I'm curating a space at xyz art fair"
My brain short circuited - awful.

I actually like grey walls and plan on having some when we move

I agree about the shabby chic distressed furniture - it was ok at first but now it's gone too far, enough with the distressing, let it be!

'Handcut' or 'handmade' sandwiches-so you put a bit of ham and tomato on some bread and cut it with a knife then?

Trendy cafes and restaurants that play music too loudly and all the staff look like they go to the same trendy hairdresser

Man buns

i have grey walls in the spare room. We have yellow cushions and curtains etc and grey/yellow sheets... It actually looks really nice I promise!

Oh god this is addictive...!

People with an average sized family, say 1 or 2 dc, buying a car the size of a small bus because they've recently got a dog (a cocka/poo, labra/doodle - another annoyance there!) and a tent to go "glamping" once a year 25 miles away (not even going to start on that one...).

What's wrong with a hatchback ? What do they think people used to do, or still do with just a normal sized car ? I'm all for making life easier, and spend your money as you see fit, but it's the insistence that life would be impossible without it.

I bsolutely detest the kinds of posts on facebook that say "share this if you have an amazing daughter/son/husband/whatever"

they make my teeth itch

Do not bollocking get me fuckinf started on Bastarding Artisan.

Fuck off.

Don't wrap a few p,ages in some string & call them artisan M&S.

Artisan bread. £3.50 for a small loaf of bread made from brick dust.

Plates, not the utter shite my iPad decided to type.

WellTidy, I can only assume people don't think I love my kids or think they're beautiful etc cos I never share that shite.

God, I'm a misery guts really.

I can deal with pretty much Everything everyone has said....
.... Just don't call me 'hun'.

I agree WireCat. Or I'm justw aiting for the day when the DC are more grown up and look through my facebook history and think that I never loved them enough.
