1. People who use mental illnesses as adjectives eg. 'This Melbourne weather is so bipolar.' (real quote from a real person). Get the fuck off my FB feed and go spend some time with a person suffering from bipolar disorder then get back to me. Also in a similar vein people who think it's OK to use 'gay' as a synonym for 'lame' - same deal. If we have the power to change how we use our language then we have the power to use our words for what they are meant to be used for. Language does change over time but do we really want a term used as another word for homosexual also synonymous for stupid? Noooooooo please.
2. Males who think it's OK to make comments like 'Dear weather, get off your fucking period.' Even females who think that's OK (some experience PMS a lot worse than others and by making these jokes women make it OK for men to make them too. Same with slut shaming but that's another STORY). I suffer from hideous PMS, I'm not ashamed to say; black depressed days that come right on time every single month and nothing I've tried so far has lessened the slump. Don't make jokes about it. Just don't.
3. The amount of my Facebook friends who make stupid and/or pointless and/or offensive status updates about the weather. s h u t t h e f u c k u p ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
