For real. The forced positivity and "we're so happy to be part of the *random brand* family. The endless, pointless presentations and HR talk." Celebrating company values" while underpaying your employees and laying off people without replacing them. But please remind us how we can do more to fill your pockets faster in the future, boss.

I think that too. Deep in their hearts they know! They just want to be different or belong or something...

they came to the Uk from USA and they are just unnecessary, sorry for being judgmental

The supermarket as social event.

To make it worse: "in a restaurant/public spaces"

I never know what to do when everyone is singing. I just sit there grinning stupidly. It feels like the longest, short song ever.

I'm an introvert. A traditional Happy Birthday sing in a private house is okay-ish. A mixture of a bit of cringe but also I appreciate friends caring. BUT - when it is a group of staff/strangers I don't know at some restaurant wearing cowbells with sparklers stuck in their ears clapping along to that restaurant's own version of the HB song that nobody else knows - CRINGE.

I normally hate it, but I had to work the weekend of my birthday in The Netherlands and the Dutch guys in the office got me a cake and sang Happy Birthday to me, as otherwise I wouldn't have had anything at all to mark the day.

I love it, actually. Makes me feel loved.

My family stopped singing to me.... I hated the attention and cried every year when they sang, so when I cried at my 5th birthday my mom said "That's it. No more"

especially when it sounds like a funeral march.

Cringe.

awkward af

I suspect that many extroverts actually enjoy this.

Sounds more like a funeral dirge, not a celebratory upbeat piece that brings joy.

I HATE that! 😡

I like when people sing the Birthday song to me. For some reason it makes me absurdly happy. *Shrugs*

My paternal grandmother did this to me into my mid-20s.

Yeah, as I have gotten older I am kinda over the whole singing happy birthday thing. My husband still loves to do it so I participate for him. But outside of that I truly hate it.

When I was a kid, I noticed that it just delayed getting my cake and presents.

My birthday was Sunday, and I went to my inlaws for a celebration. The only thing I asked of them was not to sing happy birthday.

That one song we sing together, but all at a slightly different pitch, yeah.

Off course, noone enjoys this, which is kind of the point of doing it, right? :-)

Recreational noisemakers aren’t like other people. They have the capacity to ignore even deafening noise, so they think everybody else just wants to spoil the fun. Also, they’re self-absorbed àßhole who enjoy making other people’s lives less pleasant.

You know I have never watched a single episode of that show and I seem to be living my life just the same without it. Must not be a big loss

WHO needs that humongous cup from that pcture?

My daughter's being wearing them for years, even while prégnant. She walks over 15 000 steps everyday at work, and she tells me that it's flat shoes that make her feet hurt. OK, if you say so....

I am a lover of jazz in all it's forms.

Love them 😂 I don’t get why people are scared of them tbh

I have found showering with someone else to be much more fun than showering alone.

I miss the days when cozzies had little frilly skirts.

Every time I open any social media I'm just shaking my head at all these people pretending to be something they're not. Not to be pretentious, but all of it is for aesthetics. Everything.

My brother, a racing fan: "NASCAR is the pro wrestling of motorsports"

I've heard somewhere that "we're conditioned to love summer because it was our only time of freedom for ~13 years" and honestly... makes sense.

Does she sing? I never knew. Thought she was just screeching off key.

I hung out with red hot pie people back when that was a thing in 2007-10 - I wasn’t a swinger my bff was their poster girl and she wanted me there to look out for her etc, I went to party and look after her. NONE of the swingers or poly people are together now, none of them and I’m pretty sure the red hot pie owners are divorced AF, which what do you expect and how do you think a 17 girl was going to make your married relationship stronger? They are deluded at the time and will validate as much as they can, but fast forward a decade or so and it’s evident

Bed > clubs

I admit I lived on a 23ft boat for 5 years, and I would still be there if it wasn't for the year 2020. I love living small, but a boat isn't like a van, you have legal places to park and live in a boat, not so much in a van.

THAT!!!! I hated every minute of it and so many friends I've talked to felt the exact same. And while you feel like c**p everyone around you's cooing "oooh you gotta be so happy!" NO.

Disagree with this one. Different types of chili peppers and sauces have completly different flavors. My partner loves ultra hot stuff and over the years my heat tolerance has improved where i can handle pretty darn hot too and there is a flavor in there that is more than just burning heat but I think you have to eat spicy frequently to really get your taste buds there.

I don’t think people intentionally set out to get blackout drunk. They might be new to drinking and not sure of their limitsLots of other factors contribute to how alcohol affects you, too. It can creep up on you and then it’s too late.

Small talk is awesome I enjoy it immensely it is the building block of civility

James Doohan (Scotty) saved a suicidal fan's life by talking to her and telling her that he hopes to see her at the local conventions. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/james-doohan-once-saved-a-suicidal-star-trek-fan-1282284/

They do enjoy it. It's called addiction

I love seeing pics of other people kids and pets, but only if I know them. Except cats. Quite happy for random strangers to show me photos of their cats

Egyptians are certainly milking them.

Someone mentioned once that the first person who considered to try oysters as food must have been REALLY hungry.

The lawn clippings might taste better.

Disagree. Dopamine triggers are different for everyone. While corporate money jobs doesn't tickle my fancy, there are most definitely people that do live for that corporate ladder.

No workouts but 5am dog walks. And I enjoy them very much.

He based his sound on an old folk singer, Woody Guthrie.

What's wrong with that. As long as it's not forced on you, like people guilting you to go out.

i will raise you chewing tobacco

Well I would generally agree but I just went to my home town carnival and there was a 5 year old dressed as trump with a Bandage over his ear quickly followed by a small french bulldog dressed as a shark and I have to tell you, it made my day

I'm there for the food, obviously..
