ClydeTon Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 21 hours ago, virginton said: The deputy leader of Inverclyde Council got a front page splash this week in the local rag for 'bravely disclosing' an ADHD diagnosis. Discarding the usual, unquantifiable bullshit like 'brain fog', the tangible effects of this crippling obstacle amounts to, err, having to take lots of notes at council meetings. The reality is that she visited an educational psychologist - psychologists being the lightly regulated, quack discipline of medicine - and got a purely self-affirming 'diagnosis' in exchange for a healthy fee. See also the increasingly widespread diagnosis of 'anxiety' - not some demonstrable, extreme anxiety disorder: just generic 'anxiety' in younger people (early 20s and younger) as an Issue Which Needs Accomodation. That generation are only responding naturally to the cues given to them by adult society about how to game the system in their short-term favour and avoid leaving their comfort zone, but are setting themselves up for much greater failure in the future. Some woman on Tiktok (I think) got absolutely torn to shreds (by people with ADHD) for saying that "Time Blindness" related to ADHD should be accommodated for by Workplaces. In other words... "I don't know how to set an alarm..." a lot of people with ADHD/"Time Blindness" called her out for her pish and told her it was as simple as setting an alarm... But no. "I have something wrong different with me, so the rules have to be bent around me." Odd. Not as bad as people claiming things like math and getting to work on time are "racist", mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My step daughter is doing this. Her eldest is "waiting on his diagnosis". The symptoms? Meltdowns at school, getting obsessed with some of his toys, and having trouble getting to sleep. Nowt to do with her utterly pish parenting, and the dad of her kids being a complete waste of space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effeffsee_the2nd Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Theres an increasing tendency by fannys nowadays to treat pet dugs like they are actual human children. Im not just talking about spoiling them or bring paranoid about foreigners in vans.. Theres the ones who will barely ever leave them unsupervised at home, talking about not being able to go out for long for having to get back for them, what the f**k ever happened to just leaving the dug out the back gairden or even the kitchen and asking a neighbour to let it out for a shite? The worlds gawn mad! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buchan30 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I heard a thing (possibly on forth one) this morning, talking about someone who has full birthday parties for their dogs, complete with invites for the other dogs. Don’t get me wrong, dogs are sound wee c***s, but i find it all a bit strange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thistledo Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I like dogs or I used to like dogs, but in the estate I live in it's like it's become compulsory to own at least one little fucking yappy dog and then do absolutely zero obedience training with it. Every neighbour on the section I live in now has two of these yappy dogs, one guy (a good c**t) has managed to train his wee dogs not to bark at every other dog or little thing that happens but the rest, once one starts they all go mental many times a day and almost always around the time the weans go to bed, which is really useful and also coincides with the daily 'who can open and slam their car door the loudest and as many times as possible' contest. I know the world doesn't revolve around my weans going to bed, but when you've had fuckall sleep for the majority of the year and you want one night of peace, these things start to get to you a little. "Pregnancy and parenting thread" for this pish etc... The parent thing aside, it's fucking annoying anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still like dogs but I'm growing to hate (irresponsible) dog owners. There's dog shit all over the pavement & regular continuous barking competitions in the morning & evening, it's just not necessarily imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every estate seems to have a house that punts their dug out in the morning to wander the streets until the evening, apparently not caring that they're responsible if it eats the face off a toddler. Presumably they think they live with a really odd looking cat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it'll just start barking when ours hasn't left the house, which it never did before. Naturally ours will bark when the postie rattles the letterbox, and just that sets next door off. Issue is that I've heard the neighbour two doors along (that I don't see very often) shouting towards our dog by name over the fence/hedge on the (understandable) assumption that its ours causing the problem. Trouble is that our next door neighbours seem incapable of shutting theirs up once it starts. Could easily keep barking for 20 minutes at a time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a lot of the problem, dogs fired into the back garden at various times during the day and lack of socialising just results in barking contests. I don't even see most of these dogs getting out for big walks, the token walk around the estate and then back, wow, stimulating other than the aforementioned good c**t who I see out all the time with his dogs and funnily enough his dogs don't bark at everything. I should have stated before, I actually do like dogs and I don't like the irresponsible owners, I hate the lazy approach to owning a dog and not training or giving them proper exercise. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Heard my neighbours at the weekend talking to their dogs, and referring to themselves as "Mum" and "Dad". Is this normal? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
