Things that you are sick of seeing on social media #2

[HowlOwl]

People announcing it's their time of the month. Or star week

The expression, “Auntie Flo”

Now that I have the Teams app on my phone I live in fear of signing off with xx by mistake to work colleagues.

I ended an email with a xx once by mistake to a colleague I'd never met. Luckily I realised straightaway and emailed back to apologise

The new fb blag:

I helping a family who need..... And goes on to list every single piece of furniture and items ever made

1) Someone I have on my snapchat put a story up with the caption of “film night with my man”. So I find that cringey enough as it is. But they’d done that thing where you can watch Netflix together (not sure what it’s called) and they’d screenshotted the screen and then blacked out their pictures? I just saw it as “oh look at me I have a boyfriend type” thing.

Yeah, I'd be thinking there is no boyfriend if the boxes are blacked out. I'm a Sceptical Sally, but it does delight me when people go all Walter Mitty on SM. It must be exhausting to hide the truth!

I did a charity run and needed to do a go fund me thing to get a minimum amount as I had a charity place, I freaking hated asking or posting about it.

 

[WilmaHun]

At the moment is FRIENDS...

Yes!! Never watched it, caught snippets but never enjoyed it enough to wanna sit and watch it all. It's alllllllllllllll im seeing atm

 

[Sardine]

Memes/pages I can’t relate to. Idk why but on my explore page on insta there’s loads of annoying meme pages and a lot of make me cringe. “are you even a girl if you don’t do this” “crazy exes be like” I can’t think of any examples right now but think Tik Tok comedy!

or when someone tags you in something that’s not funny

I’ve recently deleted my insta app for a break

 

[ginandlipstick]

It wasn’t Deb was it?

Nah someone else . No matter how many times something like this gets posted always gets deleted afterwards after loads of people comment on it asking what was the point of the post

 

[265]

Posts in groups that start with "Delete if not allowed..." like the group admins need their permission to delete their post

Actually that's just people being diplomatic and showing a little respect for posting something they are unsure about.

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

Ohhhhhhhhh I see! Thank you, I was so confused There was a guy in my home town who posted a picture of him taking money out of an ATM that had been left there, then said he was giving it to charity?!? Why would you A: take a wad of money out of an ATM machine and give it to charity, you’d surely take it to the bank?!? B: post it online as a ‘good deed’?! Twat.

Hasn’t he just technically advertised the fact he’s stolen someone’s money?

I’m already sick of people sharing the Hocus Pocus 2 post and it’s only been a couple of hours. I’m well aware I’m a miserable twat but I don’t even think the first is worthy of the hype it gets.

This newish fad of instagram reels ie a photo/clip montage set to music. The one that’s annoying me now is the one called ‘what I mean when I say I’m from (insert city/country name)’ and it is set to usually the song Somebody To Love and not the Jefferson Airplane/Boogie Pimps one but some annoying breathy cover. The parody videos of them showing shit places are better though!

I'm so sick of Gen Z thinking that they invented environmentalism/recycling/zero waste - I've seen council-made public information films from the 60s that talked about how people and companies need to stop making so much trash as it's bad for the environment, and decades before 'zero waste' became a thing families used everything they had until it fell to bits and then used the bits for spares - in that case it was more about money than environmentalism, but a lot of teenagers act like anyone above 25 is walking around setting forest fires and pouring toxic waste into lakes for something fun to do on a weekend.

Also, if you're taking multiple long-haul flights a year (pre-covid) and wearing brand new PLT clothes several times a week you've got no right to be bragging about your sodding bamboo cutlery.

It's the people who have to post images of all the litter they've collected up whilst out walking that really annoy me. Awh, have an imaginary gold star. lol. It's great to do it, but why post about it? You're not inspiring or motivating anyone, you just want back pats.

This
Bloody
Pose

(Blurred her out but she is looking down but I’m sure you all knew that)!

I thought it was Russell brand in a dress

 

[Dirtyhorseshoes]

Victoria Beckham?

Coleen Rooney too

 

[April89]

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!'

 

[Red hair dont care]

These morons should read the Daily Mail, they have lots of articles about boring as fuck stuff like this.

Oh how to organise my sex toys springs to mind, that's mainly because I'm a sad lonely bugger who hasn't
had a shag in 30 years.

Very nearly spat my cuppa out just then

Fashion “influencers” showing their latest purchases and adding “I got this in a size 6”
Like wow amazing. Go eat a pie.
do people see what size these people buy and get influenced to buy the same size? Why is it relevant you buy the size you are?!

I guess if you're similar size to them then you know which size is likely to fit you

 

[Red hair dont care]

People who take a picture of their apple watch after a workout

Really need the rolling eye emoji for this

 

[sheleg]

So sick of Skillshare 'partnerships'. Likewise Estrid. Due to their influencer marketing overkill, I will categorically NEVER but from these brands.

We all know tomorrow social media will be full of Easter egg hunts and pictures of all the Easter eggs they've brought their kids!

With boomerangs on Instagram of someone waving an Easter egg of chocolate near their mouth, probably. Just eat the chocolate.
