I absolutely agree my kids are going on about it and I said you haven’t got anything to dress up in to put them off it’s American shit. They went out int he past and I refused to take them.

It literally is full on begging now. We’ve got one of those ring door bells with the camera, so we can see the kids who just came knocking weren’t dressed up. We’re out and even if we weren’t, we’ve got fuck all to hand out.

We don’t mind it. The kids like dressing up and you only ever knock doors of houses that are decorated/have pumpkins out. I mean that’s a given, if you want to put something up and get some treats in for the little ones you do. If you don’t put anything up then you shouldn’t be getting knocks on the door.

I'm not into Halloween as a thing but have no problem at all with kids trick or treating, we did it as kids so I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't answer the door now

In the event it pissed down early evening here so not a single knock

Predictive search engines.

Was searching Google this evening for something to do with Strictly Come Dancing and as soon as I typed the letters "STR" Google suggested "stray kids".

You have to wonder just how many Google users are looking for stray kids for it to be top of their search suggestions?

It’s fucking wrong. Amount of public toilets where people have literally shit on the toilet seat or pissed all over it. How have these people been brought up where they think that’s okay?

I’m also really surprised at how terrible some people’s digestive systems seem to be. Like when I’m in a cubicle and there are people left and right with absolutely horror sounds coming out. What are these people eating man

Birmingham Airport

For decades you look at the screen for your flight and see what check in desk number to drop your bags off. What is it now? Zones A-C

So now you check to see which zone you are in then you have to check a number of desks for your flight provider's logo to pop up.

Been like this for about 3 months or so apparently. Fucking riddiculous and confusing

I like Halloween. Got a pack of 32 little Haribo bags ready, had two knocks at the door. November will be brought to me in association with all the E numbers I can handle.

Our toilets at work look like somewhere towards the end of a horror movie, the cleaner is worth £100 an hour trying to keep on top of that. The smells are sub human in there.

We used to have a bloke at work who every day would lay the biggest log ever. We had our suspicions who it was and he wasn't a big bloke (of course we never saw the cannon he used).
The janitor had to smash it up to get it flushed away.

In-laws taking offence when someone hasn’t liked their Facebook post. It’s not just a one off, it seems an important life aspect for them. Imagine being offended by it.

Some girl on twitter (who is stunning) begging for attention tweeting 'I'm literally so self conscious about my looks I wanna cry everytime I see myself in the mirror'

It got over 11k likes and various comments of 'oh hun you're beautiful'

Pathetic. All of it.

How dependent we….I…am on phones and screens. I remember in 2013 I went to Cyprus with my girlfriend at the time. Didn’t have any internet in the room that was free and we were poor students so didn’t get it. Back the it still cost a fortune to roam with data so I just left my phone in the safe on airplane mode for the whole week.

It was fucking great. Kind of impossible now I feel to escape. Google this, google that, search this restaurant, take a pic, send a pic, scroll scroll scroll

Not sure how to get out of it really

Totally agree , came off Facebook and Instagram over a week ago, as it was just starting to annoy me, I couldn’t do anything or go anywhere without checking in and taking pictures and having to tell everyone what I was doing , feel better for it already, just living my life now.

How long do you give it before she complains that she's being sexually harassed by someone saying something as simple as that?

This is exactly it. About 3 posts down there's a pic of her wearing a ridiculously short skirt/smutty outfit sat on a bed and pouting in the mirror.

This is why it winds me up.

Stick at it mate. I've sacked Social media apart from this forum, for about 3 months now, and it's done me the world of good. Not missed it one bit.

I have to do reception duties as part of my job & the amount of young thick kids who don't even understand basic details you ask them when confirming their date of birth or address before their appointment - I just asked one teenage girl to confirm her address & she looked at me blankly then turned round to her dad & asked 'Is that the one with letters & numbers in?'....even her dad looked amazed

How have some of these young cretins made it this far in life so far? Morons

Teachers know this, of course.
When you have to cover job/college applications and get kids to fill forms / create CVs the number that dont know their address, phone number, even birthplace is shocking.
Many "I need to check my phone / text my mum to find out."
Others don't realise that their parental contact numbers / email addresses are (or could be) on their phones.
People over 40 need to realise that under 40s have memorised nothing.
I can still remember addresses, phone numbers and birthdays from 50 years ago.

Me too. You’re one year my senior, and I can remember several different coded ID numbers for medical equipment and consumables for a job I left nearly 5 years ago. Wasted memory.
