Things that you are sick of seeing on social media #4

[Leo100]

I’m guilty of taking my kids pumpking picking but I hate how popular the one close to me has become and all the mums I follow on Insta have gone yet they live in other counties, get your own pumpkin patch

Yeah I've took mine before but it's just irritating how everyone has to put it all over social media as if they are doing something unique

People putting photos of their kids up on Facebook or Instagram with filters over it. There’s a baby on my Instagram just been posted with a make up filter on, kids got full on eyelashes

Someone I follow and had a filter on herself while videoing and talking and her child was in the background and because of where the child was stood it made her look creepy due to the filter

Them posts that say ‘THESE INITIALS NEED A HOLIDAY TOGETHER’ then it’s like A+D so Ashleigh tags Danielle like ‘omg babe’ then Danielle replies like ‘omg let’s do it babe ’

or posts that say ‘OFFICIAL LIST OF ANGRIEST GIRLS’ And Mary is on the the list so Mary shares with a caption saying ‘so true ’

posts saying ‘your second @ is pregnant’ so Michelle tags Jenny saying ‘omg when were you gonna tell me lol ’

and posts that say ‘your first @S owes you a Mcdonalds’ So Mary tags Sharon saying ‘you getting me some cheesy bites bbe xx’

People wishing their oldest kid a happy birthday with “you’re the one who made me a parent” No, you and your other half decided to make a baby and one randomly formed from an egg and sperm The child didn’t pick you out of a line up and choose for you to become parents to them. Does my head in!

So much the pressure on the kid. Imagine if they're the type of parent who complain about being "tired" or "exhausted" because of their children. That one child is going to feel like they're the one who brought this misery onto them.

And then they tag their other half Liam like Like that’s going to stop him cheating at the weekend x

Or when they’re like “thank you for choosing me to be your parent”

It’s just coincidental genes mate

Exactly! There’s no choice involved

People defending celebrities or anyone well known in comments sections. It makes me cringe like they don’t even know you exist and you are wasting energy doing this with your life plz grow up

People Sharing long rants and “delete me if you disagree” ooh you’re hard

When has pumpkin patches become a thing? Genuinely asking because I can't remember this ever being a thing in Europe, at least as far as I know, when I grew up. Now there is a photo in every friend's ig looking like they have just dropped by a farm in the US for the weekend. It's my favourite season (in all its bleak, miserable glory) and all this over-jolly, flannel ridden, pumpkin and filtered photo craze of it is starting to make me sick.

Slightly random and off topic but my neighbours boyfriend shoots wood pigeons in the garden and cooks them to eat as I’ve seen on his Facebook, is this illegal and does it need reporting to the council?

just noticed he’s placed fake pigeons in the garden to attract the real pigeons I’m guessing?!

Exactly! Hate how we are turning into America. A friend of mine from UK lived in US for two years and talked about how everything is so disposable. Valentine, Halloween! In her words soo much tat! I’m times when we are trying to live more sustainably, we just copy commercialism.

Halloween has its roots in Europe not America. Millions of European immigrants brought it to American shores.

Its American culture, they just tend to celebrate stuff in a big way.

The funny thing about the UK nicking Americans trends is that we have all the trend but none of the enthusiasm or weather. So it’s basically us, miserable cause no one actually wants to, they just do it for Instagram and Facebook (or meta now. Soz), trailing through a muddy pumpkin patch in the pissing down rain, and pumpkins are mushy cause of the aforementioned rain so you’ve got to go to Asda to buy one anyway

I’m arguing the commercialism of these events not the origins. We know that America is really a new world and most traditions ( Valentines, Christmas tree, All Saints & Halloween ) originate in Europe but we have never celebrated in such a commercial and horrible way as we do know, thanks to Internet and recreating the American way.

It isnt, and never has been a thing here.
Gets right on my t*ts.

Cryptic quotes on Instagram stories just tell us who you're talking about and the background story I'm nosey.
Same as this girl on my fb who I'm guessing has broke up with her boyfriend and posting little sly digs and hints but not actually saying anything worthwhile and she's probs deleted him so I'm guessing he can't see any of this anyway, just be one of those girls who airs their dirty laundry or shut up

I have a friend who checks in every single place she goes - Tesco, The Drs, Out for Lunch - literally everywhere. So boring!

Stalkers have a really easy job these days with people like that

People who post to their Instagram grid then share their own post to their stories. Normal folk I mean, I get why influencers do it. Why don't you suck your own dick while you're at it.

“She’s 95” is trending for the second time this week on Twitter. It is so so weird that regular people feel the need to defend multimillionaires they have never met, especially on a website that said millionaires are about 50 years too old to use.

The Queen doesn’t give a tit what people are saying about her on the internet. The Queen doesn’t give a tit about you. So why do you care what’s being said about her?
