Doomed anecdotal megathread #2

Really, well fair play to that. One of my favourite videos of nonsense at the moment I initially and ashamedly saw in a ladbible post. A woman in a strange costume doing a dance routine to the Thomas the tank theme in her living room. 

I love the idea that she got a couple of hundred quid for it. There’s hope for the human race yet.

Any of the following can fuck entirely off;

  • "Tag a mate who..."
  • "List of names who will do X in 2018"
  • "Only true '90s kids will remember..."/"if you remember this your childhood was awesome!"/any variant thereof.

 

That Council Estate Bible sounds like the absolute piss worst. The worst of the "share if you remember" bollocks is that every generation from the '40s to the '90s seems utterly convinced that their's was the last generation "allowed" to play outside, and that no kids ever play outside any more, because they're all mollycoddled internet porn addicts. Yet half the people posting that are probably, five minutes later, complaining about the amount of kids hanging around outside the bus shelter, or whatever.

Oh my god, the fucking list of names posts are the worst. Somebody randomly (well, probably not randomly at all) picks a dozen names of each gender and puts them under a shitty list, and that somehow warrants discussion or even sharing. "LOL look Sharon your name is on it they must know you well haha". Fuck off. The same people probably also share 'Wine o'clock' memes on a Friday with a picture of a Minion on them.

“10 things Peter Kay has remembered”

Those and the.. “OMG, press H and send this to 10 people you hate and the cat in the picture will piss on the potato”.

Just this week Facebook have announced an algorithm change that will penalise posts of this sort.

Ah, so you're Facebook friends with my mum?

I fucking hate Facebook. I go on for two reasons. 1. To post pictures of the kids so the 3/4 of the family I don't really want to socialise with can see them. And 2. Because I run the football club account.

It wouldn't be so bad if you could ever see what anyone is actually doing but it's unreadable amongst the mass of shit described beautifully above. And the order is just utterly random. Hit refresh and you get a three day old picture at the top for no reason. Refresh again and you get someone's Halloween pictures from 2014. If I post anything for the club, I like to share it to my friends. I literally posted it five seconds ago and now I can't see it on my timeline without holding a seance. Pile of shite.

I barely go on Facebook anymore for this reason — I hate Instagram for similar reasons, but also because I have a churn of about 15 new followers vs. 14.9 followers leaving, on a daily basis. I'll post a picture of a stupid flyer I found, and a yak repair centre in Tashkent will respond "Is best picture!" and follow me, and then unfollow the next day. It's shit.

EDIT — further to this, the internet is awful. I said .com in a tweet, and vape in another, and now I'm being assailed by brands.

The person running the Poundland Twitter account has been either awesome or terrible in recent days, depending on your outlook. 

I vote terrible. 

Changing the topic: did anybody see the video of the plane crashing into a group of skydivers? Fuck me.

So I attempted to pay my (extortionate) child care bill yesterday evening.

After three failed attempts, I logged on to internet banking to find £600's worth of fraudulent transactions on my statement!

Luckily, it was before 5pm and I work near my branch - a call to fraud services found another £400's worth pending.

Done! For a fucking grand.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Have to applaud Lloyds bank though.  Money was back in my account within 15 minutes of reporting the problem, truly wonderful customer service but Christ, needed the extra stress so close to Chrimbo so I did.
