Because the NHS has now started prescribing Cambridge Diet/LighterLife as a treatment for obesity, I have seen a lot of counsellors/dietitians/personal trainers etc on social media who criticise these companies as a scam and cash grab - then try to use it to promote their own, expensive services. You can't complain about the diet industry being greedy when you yourself are exploiting people's insecurities to drum up business. Recently one of those programmes that compares diets aired and included Cambridge Diet, a woman on Twitter was spamming the hashtags for the show and constantly tweeting at any accounts mentioning it. She claimed to be a counsellor specialising in eating disorders and said that more than 75% of people with a BMI over 30 have binge eating disorder. I don't know if that's true but it was pretty blatantly clear she was trying to panic people who'd watched the show so that more of them would become her clients, I find that equally as despicable as anything diet companies do

When a mum posts a pic of herself and her teenage daughter having lunch, someone is bound to comment "Sisters!"

Yeah, sisters where one looks 30 years older than the other 🙄
Lol, my parents' friends do that and I'm 25, my mom's 56. Just slap me in the face instead of saying "Twins." 😂

I think my husband might be about to become a Tattler. He said to me last night

"I don't really look much at Instagram but I fell down a hole... What the actual duck is a Mind PT, and why is every other person one?"

I'll send him a link haha!

Annoys me when people post an Instagram story of and there's something tiny & insignificant in the background (e.g. a sock on the floor) and they write a massive caption saying "Ignore this sock it's covering a spill blah blah".

If you'd not put a huge arrow and caption next to it nobody would have noticed!!

It's worse when they post a pic of a kid and they say "excuse little johnnies bed hair", like people are going to judge a kid for not looking perfect in a photo! Parents like that are the worst and their kids will grow up feeling tit about themselves.

Like a personal trainer but for your mind. I'm assuming they tut at you in a convincingly sympathetic manner, gently suggest turning your phone off 10 minutes earlier at night and get £30 for it.

When people caption a photo about an achievement with "So I did a thing". Humble-braggy and awful.

I also see a lot of people telling a story of something that has happened to them, followed by 'it could only happen to me!'

That stuff is awful because not only are you basically criticizing your kid in public, you're putting them on a platform where all people do is alternately fawn and criticize you for everything you say, wear and do. Is it really that hard to keep your kid off social media until they're at an age where they can understand some of the consequences of putting everything online? You wouldn't show your family photo albums and personal diary to random people in the street, so why is it OK to put it all in front of a huge audience??
