I say trivial because its (imo) seeped into our (British at least) psyche and it's so prevalent now I dont think people realise it....moaning. Moaning about Covid, the government, the opposition, Christmas dinner with family (or not), Brexit, lockdown, everyone has an opinion on everything, its spewing into FB, social media, theres an almost kneejerk cynicism now about so much it's getting on my nerves.
Even my wife, relating to me this morning how it's going to effect us, relating peoples horror on FB, how they will have a get tigether and be damned...my response.....
Stop whining, everyone is moaning and whining about (often)something they cant change, have no influence over, theres no point other that winding yourself up.
If you're going to not comply, just stop whining and do it quietly. Tell people who have lost jobs, tell people who have lost loved ones, tell us all who are going to bear the financial brunt of all this for decades perhaps, tell us you want you dinner with family and it just smacks of selfishness.
Just do it quietly and stop whining.

I bought a few of these cheapskate cards,then posted them through neighbours doors. I think i might've posted some without peeling off the obviously cheapo labels.🤔

This is an increasing act of laziness that annoys me: Parents who park in parent and child bays, then one of the parents nips into the shop while the other one minds the kids in the car.
They're parents clearly, so you'd think they KNOW how important it was to have extra room to get a toddler in and out safely. But they're happy to deny others that important bit of help, happy for the poor new mum to struggle to wrangle her 1 year old safely out of the car in a narrow space, all because Karen is too bloody bone idle to walk another 20 yards!

People who live in fear of a virus that probably won't kill them then spend 2 trips a day cycling in heavy traffic on their commute ... Risk Theory is just lost on some people ...

My Covid 'bubble pal' (my ex) looked after me for 2 weeks at her house when I came out of hospital in 2012 and was too weak to look after myself. She eventually told me that she was fed up with me leaving the toilet seat up and would I kindly put it back down again after I was finished.
She is here at the moment and I pointed out that she always leaves the toilet seat down and would she kindly put it back up again... She thinks that I am being petty!

To make matters worse,i've just opened a drawer and found an almost full packet/box of cheapskate Christmas cards from last year. I didn't have to spend 75p on cheapo cards after all!!!🧐Oops I haven't been on this thread much lately...

Wool tops that you carefully follow the hand washing instructions for and yet still turn into crop tops.

You're both being petty
She opines diplomatically..
Nice to have the wellness. and lightness of spirit back, to be able to joke about such matters though eh ?
Round our way, toilet seat closure is an essential hygienic practice..
In summer at least.
Flies just love the chance to have a forage about in the compost loo

How can you tell if their journey isn't essential ? Do they have a special car ??

No matter how carefully I clean my bike I always find a mucky bit five minutes later: and it's always on a really obvious place too...

Far easier than that. Plenty of ways. It’s not hard to work out in many cases.
