Do you get it (lighthearted)

I don't wonder everyone is stressed to the max when there's such a long, long, long list of things which irritate. But tinafl did ask so I guess it's valid.

I can no longer sit in the waiting room at the eye clinic (2 hours sometimes) because hysterical American audiences get on my nerves.
It could be, of course, that I'm already tense waiting for the injections I'm about to have in my eyes.

I don't really wear tights or socks.
I like my 'underneath' to be able to breathe, and I don't like the scratchy feeling of toes on fabric.
Plus, shops are heated up to near boiling point.

Mapleleaf, I`m guilty of no tights in winter, because I can`t put the damn things on anymore!

Oh, one more, middle and third lane hoggers on motorways - why??

I don't get:
Jeans with holes in
No socks/tights in Winter
Eyebrows like slugs ( good analogy, lemongrove)
Jumpers without shoulders
Shorts in Winter (except posties)!
Tattoos all over the body
Hair that is cropped one side and long the other
Half mast trousers with huge turnups (a must have, according to M& S ?)
I agree about the off road cars that never see a field, and the non indicators and souped up corsa' and similar makes!
I could go on, but that'll do for now! ?

Lot of the things already mentioned.
Smoking, why would you try it even once ?
Excitement over a car. It’s a metal box they all go from A to B on the same roads.
Watching a Grand Prix on the TV. So much noise and cars going round in circles.
Art that is acclaimed but just looks like a 2 year old has been let loose with paint and brush.
Obsession with ‘ celebrity’ lives including the RF.

Thank goodness it’s not just me then ? I can find so may things on this thread that I also really don’t get .
Just want to add blogs just read some lady filmed herself giving birth to put on her blog
Still can’t relate to lentils or any other pulses and avocados ?

Dragonfly, I so agree about Mrs Brown's Boys. My MIL (96) thinks its hysterical. It leaves me cold. I cant get it at all. Bloke in a frock and a bad hair do and corny jokes??

And cavewoman, I don't get Twitter either. Why anyone wishes to throw themselves into this bear pit is beyond me.

I don't get ankle boots with skirts rather than trousers. Very few legs can carry them off, so to speak.

And oldwoman.yes yes yes. Making a living on Instagram or as you say, internet influencers, what have we come to?

I also struggle with the endless talent shows. The gushing presenters, the back sob story. No, don't get it. Oh and add to that the numerous reality stars. Exactly what is their talent apart from presenting themselves as a “talent”? Or having a large bum.

And I can't finish without this final note. Any meal that has a jus, a foam, and emulsion or a voloute, I cant get those at all.

Just about everything everyone else has posted, particularly "reality" programmes and "talent" contests. I also don't get "internet influencers" what the hell are they!

Pregnant women in dresses so tight you can see their tummy button protruding ?
Clowns eyebrows and trout pouts.
Reality TV.

Fat women in cheap leggings probably trying their hardest to keep a family together and cope with 3 jobs.

Perhaps they don't have time or money available.

Cyclists who don’t signal
Pulled pork . (dogs dinner )
Shouty Michael MacIntyre
Quite like Mrs Brown’s boys

Dogs in designer outfits
Fat women in cheap leggings
Tim Wonnacott
Vegans
Facebook
Rude Brits who expect French supermarket staff to speak English

Mrs Brown's boys makes me laugh.

Most of the above - especially indicators (or lack of!)

But I do get avocado, lentils and Mrs Browns Boys. Not the latest program though.

I don’t get ‘celebrities’ who court publicity then moan about it
I don’t get guns, knives or animal heads on walls, why?
I don’t get hairbands on bald babies or bows on dogs
I don’t get dogs in handbags
I don’t get fit people using mobility scooters
I don’t get people who shout on the phone in buses/trains so you know their life history
I don’t get why vapers have to blow out something that resembles mount Vesuvius erupting

I really really don’t get bald men with pony tails

I don't understand men (young and not so young) who go shopping in this weather wearing just a t shirt and shorts. Its Winter.
I don't understand why people dye their hair all sorts of colours - whats that all about.

I totally get having to pay for a permit to park in my own street as it means no one else can abandon their car there all day while the go to work.

Get avocados and lentils and sea food.

I don’t get people who get upset about trivial things.

Agree with so many already but will add why don’t people walk anywhere nowadays? Only see a couple of neighbours actually walk, always accompanied by a dog. Otherwise they don’t leave the house on foot. Weird.

I don’t get
aggressive meat eaters
Bull fighting
Vaping
Train spotting
Collecting stuff like spoons or bus tickets
Fishing for hours, catching some inedible fish then throwing it back in- why?

Oh yes BlueBelle...Keith Lemon !!

Blimey MissA, I can't match that!

I don't get -
Twitter
Overgroomed men
Air kissing

But I'm quite partial to Mrs Brown

I don’t get dogs in coats
Can’t take my eyes off ‘ the lips’ when done
Don’t get ‘the eyebrows’ so ugly
I don’t get Les Vegas (elvis) weddings
I don’t get wearing pyjamas to the shop
I don’t get Keith Lemon or his bandage (if he still has it)
I don’t get big mobility scooters in little shops
I don’t get expensive restaurants for ‘pie and mash
I don’t get David Walliams and his drooling over men

Love lentil, avocados, and mrs Brown you’re not alone KatyK

I don't get:
High heels.
Mrs Brown's boys.
Alcohol.
Pulling heavy furniture out to clean behind it where nobody looks.
Croissants.
Idiotic 'celebrities'.
Aggressive vegans.
Feminists who want to curtail women's rights to do anything they personally don't agree with.
Women driving around in cars which look like mobile nurseries with cuddly teddies all over the place.
Young women who scream all the time during normal conversations with their friends.
Shopping.
Cupcakes.
Unicorns.
Pugs in tiaras on any home furnishings or clothing for people over 3.
Fake nails.
Shaving off normal hair growth.
Straightners.

Anyway, that's it for a start..

I don`t get
Football (any sport, in fact)
Leggings below and t-shirts above pregnant bellies, with said belly sticking out all bare.
Ant and Dec
I love
Mrs. Brown
My multiple little ornaments in glass fronted cabinet (although I only dust them all just before Christmas!)

're"trout pouts"... I was on a train recently, quite late, empty coach apart from 3 young women sitting diagonally across for me, I read my book, but was distracted by their conversation because something about the way they spoke sounded odd. I looked up and realised they all had lip fillers and it was affecting their speech! For a moment I felt as if I was in a sci-fi film. It was really strange!

I don't get:
Tanning salons
Oat or almond or soya "milk" (it's not milk!)
Kale.
