Things that make you go What the F**k?

[gallsman]

I hate that instagram, social media sh*te...and parents are as bad as if not worse than some of the kids.
My wee lad got some of his modules today, he's just out of 4th year - he did just ok but he's had a bad year so we were happy enough that he passed. Kids opening results at the school with parents there videoing and asking everyone else what they got are usually the ones who know they are getting A's. One wee girl started crying as instead of getting straight A's she had a B in the middle.
I felt like saying shut the f*ck up.
No sensitivity at all to the kids who struggle or don't get straight A's. My lad took his home to open and there'll be not publicising results. I told him to tell anyone he asked that he got all A's and B's because generally the people who ask are the ones who did really well and just want to show off.

Really annoys me that crap.

Probably generally a good idea for grown men not to tell teenage girls to shut the f**k up.

Don't think the second part is remotely true. People who ask how they got on tend to be friends or at least classmates. Not randoms walking up for a lead in to tell someone they barely know how they got on.

Obviously any parents up filming and stuff is nonsense. They shouldn't be allowed record on school premises to begin with.

On GDPR grounds they should ban filming on school premises, they cannot control what goes on at home.

That whole thing sickens my hole. I have had 3 sets this summer, degree, A levels and GCSE's (4 if you count the 3 year olds Graduation!!!!). I put my eldest lad and the wee ones photo up as it's kinda mad I have that level of a gap but the other ones I said nowt and will say nowt. They wouldn't want me to either as they think it's cringe as f**k. They did well and I know they did and as far as I'm concerned that's all that counts. The ex wife.....now that's another story

Fella I know on Facebook this morning congratulating his son on his amazing results. Just go into the living room and tell him

And yet you all consume this relentless shite endlessly!

Delete your Facebook account, not just the app. One of the best quality of life decisions you can make in the 21st century.

Twitter the only one I'm still on. Came very close to getting rid of it around the time Musk took over because it was such a clusterfuck but never pulled the trigger.

Twitter I use for news and sports consumption. Probably needless bit it's the instantaneous nature of it that hooks me in. Facebook is just an endless stream of dickheads posting banal updates of their very boring and run of the mill lives.

It's the "wine o'clock now the kids are in bed and hubby is away to the Chinese. And relax!!! Happy Friday everyone!" c***ts that did it for me. Having a drink on a Friday night? You're 40 years of age. Grow the f**k up you boring ****. Nobody cares.

I wouldn't mind seeing more personal posts on fb tho no doubt they would soon annoy me. My feed is ads and suggested posts, pretty much unreadable these days

Same. I don't really know why I look at it as there is very little content nowadays from "friends" and instead it's a mish mash of random advertised content which is getting worse. Mostly on Twitter and check Instagram every once in a while.

The bard of the 'board. This place is the height of my 'social' interaction online and I'd probably take the 'happy Friday crew' over some of the multiple account posting hound dogs on here these days tbh!
