Really minor annoyances


That's their personal choice, and they will face the consequences.
And there will be consequences just no longitudinal studies done yet to identify them.

Any time I see a perennial bloater suddenly drop a ton of timber I say to our lass “musta been in the GLPs”.

She’ll always jump to their defence “How do you know that?”

“Haway man - a notorious pie eater who’s been morbidly obese for a decade or more and now they’re suddenly stick thin yet they’ve never mentioned the gym or been seen out running or biking they just willed themselves to a svelte body in the last couple of months?”

But there will be consequences.

Moneyincels - or that's what I call 'em anyway - on social media moaning about paying £1,500 in rent (and other laughable exaggerations), moaning because being in your early twenties and doing 20hrs working in Costa Coffee doesn't allow you to buy a three bed semi like it did (no, no it didn't) in all the generations before them.

The first generation that never got told no by their parents suddenly faced with budgeting and having disposable income based on how hard/smart you graft; whining because they don't have a new build semi and a brand new lease car in their 20s on their own.

No concept of what life was like for people working in the 80s and 90s. No concept of inflation and the 'cheap houses' seemed an absolute fortune at the time.

Not really sure if some of these are just Russian/China bots trying to sow seeds of dissent in young people.

True. I took mine to Halfords, as I thought it was not worth my time and effort to save £18. It took 2 of them 25 minutes and at one stage one of them had their hand stuck and I, reluctantly as I was paying, had to give them a hand to free it. This was a 15 year old car too, bugger trying it on a modern car and potentially dropping a part which would cost 100's of £'s to replace. They had to take the battery out and the battery tray in the end, put it all back together and found the bulb wasn't sitting in the housing correctly when I put the light on to test it and then do it all again.
Took me ages and drew blood to change a brake bulb on a Nissan Note, next time one went off I took it to an auto electrician.
Said he would charge a tenner, when I went back to pick the car up he said "Don't bring it her again for a brake bulb" :lol:
 
The phrases, "my bad", "period" or "living my best life".

Americanisms that have mangled their way into the English lexicon through dummies on social media.
Gazillions of them in everyday life.

Halloween for example. Was nowt rang with doing a face on a turnip with a candle in it and a black bin liner for an outfit. Now its almost a national fuckin holiday

Just to clarify, I'm aware cost of living at the minute isn't easy; just not sure the hyperbole and negativity in some places isn't just to intentionally demoralise and drag people down.
