This Pandemic is bring out the worse in people as in a lack of common sense, even affecting MP's.I hate people with no common sense.
My wife used to think that. She is still notI hate people with no common sense.
I knew someone who drove to London quickly, because she thought if she did it in a shorter time, she would not use as much petrol.
I've often wondered why people do this.This might be a bit bizarre but people who take pictures with historical monuments that represent major tragedy. let me explain
so I'm in Berlin for work for the next few months (essential travel so not flouting corona rules) and today I took a trip to visit the memorial of the Jews that died in the holocaust. So tell me why there are people posing for fucking selfies with it??? Like why would you want a picture of yourself smiling next to something like that?! I can only assume these people are ignorant cause it's not as if you wouldn't have awareness of the loss and tradegy behind it. Thankfully at the homosexual and roma memorials people were a lot more respectful! Baffles me.
I partially understand taking a picture of the thing (famous grave or monument or whatever) but you're right, posing for a picture just seems really bizarre. I went to auschwitz a few years ago and I took some pictures mainly of the grounds and the trains and stuff you didn't see in history books. I never even posted them on social media because to me it just felt really disrespectful. I can't even imagine posing for a picture! I remember visiting a site near Schindler's Factory that used to be a jewish quarter where they've put up big statues of chairs which represent all the jewish families that were shot there, and you had people posing for pictures with these chairs and I remember thinking, you do realise real people actually died here? This isn't a replica or even a memoriam for those somewhere else, it happened exactly where you're standing? It's not something to plaster over facebook for likes. Maybe I'm the weird one idkI've often wondered why people do this.
There are some picturesque graves belonging to historic poets and the like close to where I live and every now and then someone will strike the thumbs up pose asking the person they are with to take photos. I find it bizarre.
I also come from a less fortunate sector of society who often pose like this in their tracksuits besides the graves of their dead relatives and post said pictures on their Facebooks.
I don't know, I have pictures of bones in the killing fields Cambodia. I'm not posing thumbs up but I've posted a pic of the memorial with an explanation. So many people aren't even aware of the genocide, if one person sees that and learns I think that's ok.I partially understand taking a picture of the thing (famous grave or monument or whatever) but you're right, posing for a picture just seems really bizarre.

I see your point of view and I do agree especially when it's things that aren't talked about and I think it's okay when it's done respectfully.I don't know, I have pictures of bones in the killing fields Cambodia. I'm not posing thumbs up but I've posted a pic of the memorial with an explanation. So many people aren't even aware of the genocide, if one person sees that and learns I think that's ok.
Posing and pissing about at a memorial or doing the kind of 'I'm so well travelled and cultured or 'Look I went to Europe' humble brag or whatever is not on but taking some snaps of something you found interesting or enlightening, something you never heard of and want to share I think is ok.
I guess the standing under the Auschwitz sign like 'we woz ere' is pointless but posting a picture of something you found compelling is acceptable to me.
The people that look after Auschwitz put out a message asking visitors to stop posing on the railway tracks as well as uploading them to social media. It’s that silly balance beam pose or even worse, the Nazi salute.This might be a bit bizarre but people who take pictures with historical monuments that represent major tragedy. let me explain

This is such a tricky one my heart really goes out to you cause you don't want to hurt her feelings but at the same time it's suffocating. This may sound horrific but could you lie and tell her can't move abroad cause the country aren't allowing it due to covid, they're only allowing you two cause you have a permenant address there/lived there before etc?It is hard to explain properly but the most recent "thing" that annoys me is my momI need help! How to set boundaries nicely?
Long story short me and my husband live abroad and came back because of covid in early August. We hadn't seen my mom since January and she really wanted us to stay with her. It's good but its slowly feeling like we have a third person in our marriage who is with us all day every day. If we want to go on a date together to something she might enjoy.. well we can't.
We tried to get housing here but it fell through for now. We are thinking of moving back to our house abroad until we try again. Because we need some space. But my mom is so keen, she insists on coming with us. I tried to tell her she won't have her activities there. But she says she will be warm there in winter which is what she wants. And she will rent her own apartment at the same area.
It tugs my heart because she loves having us around and is always there for us. And I understand it's hard for her to have seen us so sporadically the past years. I feel like it's not my place to tell her she can't rent an apartment. But at the same time I don't want to have to tell her every day what we are doing and having her tag along on everything.
And people who say ‘rant over’, it’s a gossip thread, you’re allowed to rant.People that join a new thread on Tattle by saying something like 'just marking my place' when they could just click 'watch'.
Yep, that is annoying, in the past people would [Rant on] [Rant off] which also is annoying.And people who say ‘rant over’, it’s a gossip thread, you’re allowed to rant.
They do, and it's clearly explained and signed not to take photos inside the gas chamber, but it still didn't stop a few people doing it when I went. I was fuming.The people that look after Auschwitz put out a message asking visitors to stop posing on the railway tracks as well as uploading them to social media. It’s that silly balance beam pose or even worse, the Nazi salute.
yes! So annoying!! My husband is exactly the same.When Im menu planning and ask my husband for suggestions and he says I dont mind I'll eat anything as if that is helpful, I'm asking so I dont have to think of every single meal again, bloody hate menu planning. Or if he suggests something it will just be an ingredient, for example I fancy chicken....ok chicken what? Or am I supposed to still go ahead and find the meal and recipe and ingredients. Ugh tbh "womans work" in general lol
