We have a WhatsApp group for our road. It’s a very friendly road and most people know each other. There are often messages asking to borrow something, or if anyone has recommendations for tradespeople etc.

One lady replies to every single one of them. Always, “oh sorry, can’t help but hope you get sorted”

Every single time. It just irks me. I know she’s being nice but after the 100th time it grates.

It's on par with online reviews "haven't used/been yet" nobody needs to know this useless information

Along with 'lol'.

Also, the over-use of 'maxxing' is giving me the rage. I saw 'bookmaxxing' in the Guardian today meaning people reading more books. FFS, just stop.
A colleague posts "LOL" and the laughing emoji to pretty much everything on our Teams chat.

She's forty bleeping three.

I have someone like that on a work chat. We mainly use it to try and get shifts covered but she always replies, “No, sorry (x) I’m doing (y) then, but I really hope you can get cover!” Super annoying when you’ve asked for cover, see a message thinking it’s somebody taking your shift and it’s her being all nice and apologising that she can’t do it.

I used to sit right underneath one of the panels, always freezing, would complain but was ignored 😬🥶

I once posted in a group asking for help with something. Every comment was no sorry. I deleted my post and got asked why. I don't understand why unless you've got something helpful to add, you need to reply

I think some people see social media as an extension of in person conversation, where it absolutely would be polite and normal to apologise and say you can’t help.

It’s the same people who post statuses rabbiting on about the most inane tit that nobody is interested in.

Same here, and I know the woman doing it is just being polite and she is a really nice and helpful woman. And sometimes she does have recommendations or whatever. But more times it's of the 'I don't know but I hope you get sorted' variety. I don't see the point of answering unless it's something that actually helps/ answers the question.

Imagine if we were both on the same road talking about the same person 😂

The sudden oversaturated use of the word "Bro", it honestly makes me want to spontaneously combust with rage.
Especially if you're over the age of 13/14, I might be old school, but that and all this plastic road man patter that's crept in is infuriating.
I find myself out in the wild, struggling to keep my hands in my pockets. 😁
its all the bleep youtubers that do it. My 8 year old loves bleep Youtubers and they all say bro for everything

We are constantly complaining about ours, we had someone visit from a different office last week and they were so shocked how cold it was - they were sat in their coat!

There's a local shop which sells some really nice clothes but I've had to unfollow because I can't get on board with referring to the clothes as a person! The owner posts videos along the lines of "today I'm wearing our Jasmine dress. She's a maxi dress with a gorgeous neckline and perfect for your holiday. She's only £30 today and she's perfect for this weather. Come and get her whilst she's still available."

Parents who live through their adult children. There is a woman I know who's daughter is 22 now and she was 16 when she had her, she constantly talks about finally being able to live the adult life she missed as she had a baby or child during the years her friends were out having fun. Her daughter has recently paid for concert tickets and she apparently begged to go as she never got that chance when she was young. She tells her daughter "I am living for the first time too" as an excuse to live through her. I am actually glad my mum had me when she was 32 as she had already lived her early-mid 20s and late teens and never felt the need to live through me to make up for what she "missed" I actually cringe when I think about it, having kids earlier on is not an excuse to live through them when they are young adults, that time is theirs and a chance for independence, not having their mum or dad tagging along to everything to "live their life" or live the life they apparently missed 🤦‍♀️
