Things that you are sick of seeing on Social Media #20

[emm]

Maybe I’m just mean but I really want to wind this parent up by posting “Well she is less than isn’t she, she feels right” and “You should have spent less on your hairdresser/nails appointments and more on tuition for your daughter. That would have given her a *much* better chance. Every gel nails set was an Oxbridge tutoring session’.

I’m joking haha but this parent sounds so smug

Can you please do it this is the epitome of something that has no reason being on social media

I'm sick of seeing influencers advertising he scam that is better help. I've just seen a vlog in which a couple have used a tragic story about family members dying and been seriously ill in hospital as an ad for it...

I've not seen any Better Help ads for a while, but I know at one point every other influencer and content creator seemed to be doing sponsored posts / videos.

What’s Better Help?

A web based counselling service.

Which, well, the wikipedia article speaks for itself:

People in the comments, who center themselves and their emotions. "OMG, being a mother myself, I had to cry for hours over your fate!" Who cares?
The most extreme example was, when someone told their horrible story online of losing their one year-old, because they got rolled over by a car at a parking lot. A woman responded, directly adressing, even tagging the mother: "God, I could never handle this, grieve is SO not my emotion." (Whatever that even means.) I then called her out on how extremely inappropriate that was, only for others to answer to me, how "unempathetic" I was.
It's always women. The ones that think of themselves as "empaths", and are so very fascinated by their own ability to feel sorry for others. I really can't bear it.

"Run, don't walk" to buy tat from B&M or Home Bargains.
Using "unreal" to describe the latest food trend or a crappy t piece of clothing.

"Run, don't walk" to buy tat from B&M or Home Bargains.
Using "unreal" to describe the latest food trend or a crappy t piece of clothing.

Also "unreal" used for food descriptions with nothing else "wow this is unreal"... erm so how does it taste?

 

[emm]

For food reviews I prefer to read actual newspapers now, influencers j don't trust at all but also have 0 vocab ro describe anything

Or the parents that watch videos of parents talking about their experience losing their child and they comment things like "I had to go and hug my 2 year old. I can't imagine what you are going through!" One even commented on a post of a woman who lost her 5 month old to SIDS and said "I am breastfeeding my 5 month old while reading this. I couldn't imagine losing her"
Its so self-centred and they are rubbing it in the face of these parents who have lost a child by telling them that their kid is alive and well while theirs has passed away. It's a lack of empathy.

Or when something ridiculous happens to a child out of a clear lack of care, and they then decide to take the opposite tack and declare the parent the victim, and go: 'its only when you're a parent, you can judge someone for leaving their vomiting infants alone to go on the lash abroad/not noticing their kid climbing into a cage at the zoo/refusing to treat their child during a medical crisis!' as if these are common place every day situations every parent deals with, and not issues that 99% of the planet manage not to do.

I just saw someone asking on a holiday Facebook page "if it rains when I'm there, will I need an umbrella?" They are being torn asunder in the comments

No love, the rain is completely different abroad. Bless them.

 

[Skewbedu]

Pinchy hand stories really close to camera whilst looking smug and stating the obvious

 

[Ineedmorecoffee]

The B&M brunch range frenzy.

it’s just cheap crockery, I’m sure these people have plates and mugs already. So why do they neeeeed more?
There’ll be another range out within weeks that they will neeeed as well. Where do they store it all? And do they not have other things to spend their money on?

People talking about what they have bought and referring to ‘pieces’ usually the latest tat from Mrs Hinch - got a few Hinch pieces today
Worse is bits - got some bits in B&M, got some new Hinch bits
