The eating dog food made me laugh out loud dog food is bloody expensive, be cheaper to get a loaf of bread

I was wondering that as well as some of the brands are pricy, especially for a small tin or pouch. It's a bit bad but I always wondered when I read these articles about people eating dog food if they are eating the meat or the biscuits.

Our local groups are now overrun with posts thanking good Samaritans for helping them in the snow, “what a lovely community we have” etc. I know it’s nice to say thank you but it just feels too sickly sweet for me and half of it’s more than likely posted for a bit of attention and a few likes.

Can’t please me people are either too miserable or too nicey nicey clearly

It's not that they are too nicey-nicey, it's that it's perfomative for attention. I get annoyed by it too.

This really made me laugh….just people all over the country wondering if a person would choose the meat or the biscuits if they had to eat dog food….
Personally I don’t believe it, my dog costs a fortune to feed but my kids would be happy with a value pizza or a tin of Lidl ravioli that’s less than 50p! And like someone said, it’s awful that attention seeking (bullshit) stories like this take away from the true stories of families who are struggling. I saw a guy on TV the other day saying him and his wife both work but every penny they earn is spent, and their 7 year old needed new shoes but they couldn’t spare £20 for a pair without sacrificing food or heat. And the talk about warm banks - a lovely idea for supporting people who can’t afford to heat their homes, but should not be needed in 2022.

“Thank you to Steve who helped tow us last night”….did you not thank him at the time?

1/2 of it is bollox posts ... didn't/ hasn't happened.
Anything to try & undermine society & get people at each others throats etc.
People need to get on. Pull your belts in a bit if you need to.

Also not to make light of what I know is a serious issue but I saw a LinkedIn post with the caption mummy I’m so cold in the house or something and the kid was wearing a T-shirt and some pyjama shorts? Put a jumper on it which I’m sure you have and kids leggings are like £3 from primark. Add some layers and a fleece!

There are teachers on TikTok dictating what gifts they'd rather recieve from their students and they say anything upto $25 (this seems to be mostly USA/Aus based)....I think this is obscence.

While I think teachers are criminally under valued and feel it's nice to give something small as a token, these TikTok teachers feeling entitled to gifts costing upto that much and slyly trying to say what they want (under the guise of helping people buy more original gifts than mugs/chocolate) rather than just let people choose themselves like you're supposed to because that's the entire point of gifts has me boggling.

Who brought up these people to be so entitled?

My parents always gave my teachers presents at school but I can imagine if they were asked to do so (by the teachers themselves no less!) there would be no way they would be giving anything

Influencers getting loads of Christmas stuff for free and not declaring any of it as #gifted.

Influencer marketing in general is one of the more soul-destroying things to witness in society. It makes me feel ill.
I have always hated it, but in the current climate seeing influencers "unboxing" thousands and thousands of £ of gifts is just

My kids school have put on the newsletter to not buy gifts and to donate to charity instead , I'm not complaining. I hate buying teachers gifts not because I think they don't deserve them but its just so awkward and pointless imo
