Slightly off topic but going on the trigger warning subject, I saw a post a couple of weeks ago on a public Facebook group and someone had asked for people to think before asking a year 6 child if they're looking forward to secondary school as some get anxiety about it or have SEN so are not going to mainstream school , I'm sorry but it's a natural question people ask and it's a conversation starter , absolutely ridiculous how much people are expected to pander to people these days
That’s mad. People are so bleeping weak nowadays.

When people, usually some sort of customer service, ask you to do something or give a direction and say “for me” at the end of it, such as stand there for me, go to that till for me, fill in this form for me. I don’t know why, it just always feels patronising and I’m being talked to like a child. Just say please or thank you.

My ____ is better than yours

About last night — this should have ended in 2015

For some reason I hate it when people call a c-section just a “section”, but I guess that’s not really a popular phrase

“Suck it and see” my old uni lecturer used to say this and it made me feel queasy

“Oh my goodness” does anyone under 65 IRL actually say this? Or is it only influencers who are trying to pretend they’re country poshos but their ostentatious new money range rovers, fake interest in gardening and sausage dogs give them away?

Ickle bubba is hideous, I can’t believe it’s actually a brand name as well! I would never buy anything from a brand called Ickle Bubba 🤢

that’s like going to a restaurant called Om Nom Nom 🤮

My colleague who’s a bit older does this too often in team chats, whenever her daughter makes her some food she’s like “E made me pancakes YUM YUM”
Yum yum ?! Almost as bad as Nom Nom 🥲

I'm some way under 65 and I say 'Oh my goodness' fairly frequently. However I hate it when it gets shortened to just 'Oh my!' I Don't know why but it really bugs me.
