    Ahhh not again. OP here you are yet again generalising and bashing others.

    First it was Office people all take cocaine.

    Then teachers take the p with sick days, while woman are in awe of you and men envy you on the beach due to your(I won’t say the r word) BMI.

    Now there is something wrong with people who use Instagram.

    All of these posts bashing others would indicate you have a problem with your own self confidence and are trying always to project this into others.

    Live and let live.

    I’m a married man but I’m flattered that you follow me around. I’m the faithful type though so maybe you should move on.

    I browse AH now and then, but Christ, are you ever not here posting absolute rubbish! It looks like it’s how you spend your evenings.

    This is not my quote.

    It’s from someone else. From another thread you stared before this one. The teacher bashing one. But today is Deja vu thread only young women vs. teachers vs. office workers.

    I’m surfing boards this evening and I come across ANOTHER judgemental thread taking issues with someone’s choices.

    From what I recall, you accused another poster of stalking you also this week. Do you have a persecution complex?

    You seem to take grave offence when someone disagrees with you.

    Again, what’s your issue with other people’s choices?

    Live and let live.

    No one has picked anything off a wall in a decade. You clearly have your finger on the pulse here.

    No you said it.

    Not sure why you think you are superior to anyone else, teachers, Office workers, people posting on instagram.

    The reality is, you are not.

    You are caught up with believing your own hype. Not every woman fancies you, not every man envies you.

    No one gives a ****. .

    They really haven't. They got them off the internet. I know what I am talking about. I wish they got them off the wall, at least you could control the quality of what was on said wall.

    Maybe it’s changed since I was a young lad. I never had time back then to worry about what was drawn on my leg never mind spending a day in a shop waiting for somebody to draw on my leg. I’d have always thought of better things to do back then.

    I went in with a few of the lads when I was younger and they were getting ones to show they were individuals. They all picked one off the wall we were told it’d be a few hours. I said feck that and went off (probably boozing) and never returned to a tattoo shop again. The wife has a few. So does everybody else I suppose.

    I bet you have a music symbol or kitten claws

    This gives me a great idea for a new thread. Guess my tattoo.

    You like a wine and a row. I’m not saying you do but that’s my impression of what you like.

    Your tattoos can only ever be as deep as you are, sadly.

    I was heading down George street today after work to meet the wife and kids to take them to a comic book shop. (Trying to encourage reading and all that)
    On the left in some ice cream parlour place a girl was holding a big ice cream over a menu and taking a photo of it. She was just some yang wan doing her Instagram or Facebook thing where she lets everyone know where she is or how great her life is.
    Does she feel pressure to look like she is having a great life?

    Is she just pretending to be her favorite celebrity but doesn’t realize her celebrity is paid to reinforce these products and was told to go here by her manager who secured an endorsement deal and the celebrity was probably only there for enough time to take the Instagram picture and didn’t even look at the menu?

    Does she know that by following Kim k on social media she is the product? Kim k goes to Pizza Hut to advertise Pizza Hut then you go to Pizza Hut for free and advertise Pizza Hut.

    Her FaceTiming or snapchatting this place is just advertising for the company why isn’t she looking to be paid?

    Is it about time we copped on that twitter and all these other platforms are either just people making money advertising to you the follower or the followers pretending to be influencers but not getting paid?

    Or is it all just a bit of harmless fun where teenage girls forced to grow up too fast play pretend that they are modern day princesses?

    Is it the new reality tv?

    Yes to all the above
