Those "quotations" that some people put on their walls. Utterly bile inducing. I like wall art like trees and flowers, but this stuff is just cringeworthy.

Deep and meaningful signatures here. Like quotes from philosophers that posters imagine reflects their own thoughts.

Oh FFS. I hate that claptrap. Stupid meaningless drivel usually by people who are trying to fill the void in their intellect with fluffy rubbish. The FB ones are worse. There was one yesterday in my feed with a photo of a sunflower and an instruction (if you don't mind) - "Make someone happy today" - my fingers were just itching to type "NO" in the comment box :P

Against my better judgment, I googled "annoying platitudes" and am now even more annoyed by trivialities than I was this morning.

* Live each moment like it is your last (well that's not a very pleasant way to live, is it?)

* Money can't buy happiness

* Life doesn't give you things you can't handle

* Time heals all wounds

That's right, money can't buy happiness, but it can buy everything else, and you can wear much nicer clothes while you are depressed:D

Exactly. It's not the money itself that makes you happy, it's the freedom that comes with it.

I top up, wait patiently for the text that confirms this month's free texts, it comes through and then the message "your balance is now €19.20c" comes up on the screen. What happened to the other 80c?!!

You could start a line of alternative wall posters Aglomerado . Telling it like it is. Best sellers, I would bet!

I agree re inspirational quotes bilge everywhere. Or even worse, people sending emails, or texts, all flowery sh1te, and if you send this on, such great things will happen. Stop!
Thankfully, I don't get many, but they TA me if I do get them. Straight into trash...so I never will know if wonderful things would happen if I sent them on. :pac:

You've got me to a T LynnGrace... I do tend to be direct!!!
Mine would say:
"What a load of Utter Scutter".
"Bilge"
"Twattery will get you nowhere"
"Eat, Drink, Puke"

TV quiz.

Quizmaster: "What is the capital of Spain?"

Contestant: "Barcelona"

Quizmaster: "Good answer, but I am afraid that's incorrect"

So how can it be a good answer then? If it's wrong, it's a bad answer.

People using the word 'psychotic' in a way that is clearly nothing to do with the person experiencing psychosis...

In advertising speak, When a new & improved version of a product is released upon us, typically hair care or beauty cream

which is it then? new or improved?

if something is new, it is new and therefore couldn't be an improved version of a previous version.
is something is improved, it is an improved version of an older product, and therefore now new.

Corner shop rip off prices. My throat feels like it's on fire, so I bought a little tub of ice cream, remember the ones you get a little wooden stick to eat? Anyways, 1.65 for one tiny little tub:eek: I didn't even bother taking a stick, maybe I'd feel less cheated if I'd taken it.:D

2nd trivial annoyance is that our local Dunnes doesn't stock Ben and Jerry's frozen yoghurt. I love that stuff, it tastes as good as full fat ice cream.

The theme song from Dawson's Creek (I Don't Want to Wait by Paula Cole) popped into my head while I was cleaning the kitchen. I decided to give the whole song a proper listen. I'm annoyed that I never listened to the whole thing before, because it's actually great!! I watched a lyric video of the song on Youtube and the lyrics I had never heard before are really nice. Although, it does make the song a bit of a strange choice for a teen angst drama. I'm annoyed that I actually want to watch the show now!

Coming across a photo on facebook of a long-former colleague who was very annoying and who I couldn't quite stand. Immediately realising that my current psychologist reminds me a lot of this former colleague. Argh, I don't want that association, thanks very much.

Big bushy beards annoy me. Surely they can't be very hygienic? Don't get me wrong, some beards look really good on some men, but the majority of beardy guys I see around and about have unkempt beards that look ridiculous.

I'm so sick of coughing. It's wearing me out. I can just about get some sleep if I sleep on 4 pillows. Moan, moan, moan.

Sitting on the couch relaxing after doing loads today. (great drying out there)

Dog jumps up beside me and lets off an eggy fart ugh

Also I bought the aurora hair roller as seen on dragons den. Looks so handy and easy to use. It's the opposite. I regret buying it now.

When you're commenting on higher level stuff relating to a thing that a person is involved with, and you're 'very clear that you're providing feedback related to the content of the thing, and it in no way is feedback on the person themselves, yet they somehow take it super personally and see it as a reflection on them... when any fool can see that it's much higher level and has nothing to do with them at all.

whatismyname

oh and also TA when I'm so vague about stuff on social media / forum postings that I'm practically cryptic yet feel the need to be vague to protct identities and not reveal everything about everything.

Robsweezie

man haters who have an unhealthy amount of aggression and contempt toward them, always taking the side of the woman in every incident involving men and women in conflict, like abortion and child custody rights, usually because their past experiences with men have made them bitter and painted their perception forever more.

likewise, woman haters who are guilty of the same, intimidated by strong vocal women who wont ''bow down'' to their needs.

Posters who post in unrelated threads to make remarks about something you post. It's weird

I'm aware of the irony.

Don't know how true this is but was told if you are coughing a lot at night time if you rub vics vapour rub on the souls of your feet before you go to bed and wear socks this helps and prevents you from coughing and you should sleep the night - seemingly it works

Someone told me this the other day too, didn't try it, hate socks in bed, me feet usually are outside the duvet anyway to try cool them down!

In slang terms it's what's known as "shading" or "throwing shade" if im reading you correctly.

TA that this has actually become a thing on here. the bitching is real.

Creepy people. There was a guy behind me in the post office this morning, creepy as hell and not the full shilling. I had to change the way I walked to work years ago because it was an isolated footpath and he approached me to chat a few times when I was alone. Anyway, the fcuker kept touching my back and ranting and raving to some guy about most of the people in the post office at the time.

He was telling the guy about how great a time he'd had at lap dancing clubs in England at the weekend, I don't think I'll ever feel clean again, shuddering just thinking about it.:eek:
