Your man in your screenshot says “no fear” while pedalling a conspiracy that the virus isn’t real, therefore there must be a global conspiracy, I assume for some nefarious reason.

This is fallout from "reality" programmes like The Apprentice, where they have to hold them like that for the sound guy to pick them up - the yoof of today now think that is normal behaviour!

The disproportionate 'fuss' around Christmas Day this year in relation to the pandemic. I can't understand why there is such a clamour for one day (and I'm no Grinch, honest!) to be 'saved' in relation to helping stop this bloody awful virus. I get that it is an important family gathering/tradition for a lot of us, but one bloated meal without a gathering, which often involves including the vulnerable group seems a simple thing to forego for once. Ironically, it is this old group who (for understandable reasons) will probably moan most. I am already not looking forward to having to tell my mum and stepfather they can't come round (I have a secondary school son, my mum has cancer mid 80s, so I won't risk it). Can you 'feel' my guilt?!!

The ones moaning about the rule of six being in place on Christmas Day do my head in. "There's more than six in my family, we're not leaving someone on their own", if there's more than six in your family split into two groups that are under the limit - job done.

A little part of me wants non-essential retail + online retail to close for the whole of December......just so people might finally realise that all the shitty tat they push past old ladies to buy in this rampant festival of selfish consumerism is an utterly pointless waste of money & resource & makes no actual fucking difference to their lives.

Twitter is the worst for it.
They'll publicly show screenshots of people PMing them, "shaming" them.
Then in the same breath, do a then vs now of their current boyfriends PMing them

People who say privacy and not privacy 
. I also heard a TV presenter refer to vine yards (repeatedly) which was even more grating!

Wowcher. Fucking relentless emails, three or four a day. And then if I dare to click on something and view it they then email me everyday for a week saying they’ve “held” the item. And their sensationalist email subjects really piss me off.... things like “You’re in luck” or “Congratulations....”. Read like a CT headline

Nick, are you actually going around town TRYING to find "pacific" things to annoy you now?

Just things I notice in every day life.
Add to that people who just want to have meetings or "touch base" of any old shit. Makes you wonder how they ever get any work done.

Our HR department at work. Positive discrimination is still discrimination - going out of their way to hire women and BAME groups, without considering white males
If i need to apply for a job again, I think I will identify as a Somalian lesbian, I would probably get the job without interview

I love a discrete category. Makes a change from ginger amputees I guess.
