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.

The one of the bed with "this is where the magic happens" - bilge.

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

:mad::mad:

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

This brings my pi$$ to a boil.

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

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:

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'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"

...etc...

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.
