waltz Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Someone, a genuinely fine person that I know, keeps putting up Minion memes on Facebook.Today's highlight is a sad-looking Minion with the words: "Welcome, today's specials are lack of sleep, up too early, and low on patience. Thank you, Please come again".Not only does that make little-to-no sense grammatically, there's also no need for these sentiments to be described by a Minion. I've been forced to watch that film they're in, they're annoying wee cunts, who are far from verbose. Why would a Minion have these feelings? I'm sure I've talked about this before, but we're reaching a Minion crisis. They've replaced "KEEP CALM AND ____" in the 'meaningless, non-sensical sentiment' stakes. Fuck Minions. I wish they were real so I could beat the shit out of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been forced to watch that film they're in, they're annoying wee cunts, who are far from verbose. Why would a Minion have these feelings? Yeah, this is happening a lot. I keep seeing memes which are pictures of Will Ferrell, with text over the top. The text is never something Will Ferrell or a character played by Will Ferrell has ever said. Why is this happening? I'm also seeing more and more likes/shares of descriptions of mundane situations (usually involving the word "bae") followed by a picture of a facial expression. Ten thousand likes. The comments will just be this ad infinitum. I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skubbs Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 There should be a "parent post" filter on Facebook - getting really fed up of the practically constant stream of baby photos from new parents. I don't mind the odd one, but uploading a mini-photo shoot is taking the piss. If it's for family to see, just make a group whatsapp or make the album private. (disclaimer: I feel the same way about numerous selfie mini-photo shoots, it's just "oh look, one expression from every angle imaginable) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skubbs Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 I feel I should apologise on this front.Not at all, yours are few and far between! It's mostly an in-law, and every fucking morning there's a "I'M A MOTHER, LOOK AT MY CHILD'S FACE" followed by "I'M A MOTHER, LOOK AT MY CHILD EATING", with a few more "MY CHILD IS POSING".

Skubbs Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 This was mostly inspired by a rant I had with a mate, who thought he was meeting a mutual friend for a mad boys weekend - they had to rush home at 7.30pm to get the kid bathed and ready for bed, followed by lots of photographs being taken and uploaded to fb.

Spoonie Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 As someone with a first child due in about 3 1/2 weeks, I've had a lot of chat with the wife about this same thing. There are some of our friends kids who have spent every second of their lives so far being photographed and plastered onto facebook and not only is it a total bore for your friends on fb, what does it do to the kid? Spending your whole life with a phone jammed in your face can't be good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubbs Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I actually had a daft thought after reading Phillip K Dick, imagining that people evolve to recognise cameras rather than faces... We've agreed if/when I get up the duff nowt is posted online, I don't want any announcements and I don't want my kids life documented step by step for facebook friends. Photos taking the piss out of them, is another matter though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Non stop sproggery on Facebook is the pits, I've now started unfriending because of it.Picture of the ultrasound > picture of the newborn > picture of the 1st birthday cake is enough, surely?

Lucius Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I was on my FB the other day and someone was posting pictures of their kids "Graduation" from nursery school!Why is that even a thing? They had an itinery posted which included the kids singing songs. One of which was, "Twinkle Twinkle, I'm a Star"......What? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Please tell me that "graduation" was in ca_gere's part of Poland. Even if it wasn't just tell me it was so I'll feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Please tell me that "graduation" was in ca_gere's part of Poland. Even if it wasn't just tell me it was so I'll feel better. It was definetely in "Poland" (middlefield nursery) Haven't unfriended but unfollowed...possibly the best option FB ever added. This person also ends every interaction with her partner with, "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <3".

Lemonade Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I have a friend on there who's girlfriend is constantly plastering his wall with "love you so much, can't wait to see you tonight my handsome man xxxxxxxxxx". Just send the guy a text for fucks sake. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I was on my FB the other day and someone was posting pictures of their kids "Graduation" from nursery school!Why is that even a thing? They had an itinery posted which included the kids singing songs. One of which was, "Twinkle Twinkle, I'm a Star"......What? I have a few friends who were posting pictures of nursery graduations this year. Was blissfully unaware it was a thing until now. Seems like a total pile of shit brought over from America but which there's no escape from. Who wants to be the one to tell their kid they can't "graduate" because it's a load of fucking pish?

Spoonie Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Both nursery graduations and people in personal 1-1 relationships who do all of their communication in public via facebook are serious piss-boilers for me too. Unfollowing is magnificent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Someone I went to school with, who moved to Spain to live and work for a number of years before returning to England, is mad at foreign people coming to live in this country. Even included the classic "not racist but..." A solid B-grade rant. Could have been an A if she rounded it up with "this country is going to the dogs". So close. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skubbs Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) No, Vinnie Jones apparently thinks England has gone to pot with all the immigrants - there was an article floating about Twitter. Obviously pointing out the irony of attacking immigrants, whilst living in California. Edit - seems to be an oldie http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2409481/Vinnie-Jones-brands-England-completely-unrecognisable-European-country.html Edited September 8, 2015 by Scubby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
