to not understand why people have to post every detail of their lives of FB?

[thebird]

My SIL likes to post on FB at least 4 times a day with various comments on how she is feeling...oh so tired today not much sleep last night..feeling poorly today just been sick again....had a bad day at work today lots of traffic on the way home....just baked a cake and here is a picture..Just went to tesco and oh the queues blah blah blah. Perhaps I am just getting old and but I just don't udnerstand this?

Dont get me wrong I thing FB is great and a wonderful way to keep in touch with family and friends but why would you feel the need to share every detail and every thought that runs through your head?

I don't get it either TBH.

A distant family member on mine posts her whole relationship status' every couple of hours. 'steve I love you so much' one day then 'You bastard, how dare you not come home til 2 in the morning' Blah blah blah.. Oh and all in text speak.

I had a friend who, several times every day, lists out what housework she is doing/going to do.

As you can imagine it is extremely interesting

I am just putting the kettle on

[TitsalinaBumSquash]

I hate the 'my life is so shit why do I bother?' status updates then you ask whats wrong and they don't reply!

[RoyalBlingThing]

I am looking for a clean tea spoon

[RoyalBlingThing]

I have found a teaspoon and put a tea bag in my favorite mug

[MadreInglese]

oh god I have removed and hidden people who do that, it's so dull

[RoyalBlingThing]

If I were doing this properly I would put LOL at the end of every inane sentence... LOL

Yes also get relationship updates from SIL along with photos of every Christmas/Birthday/Valentines gift, flowers and cards. At first I though ths was sweet but 2 years later its all a bit much.

I've just eaten some cake and am thinking about pushing the hoover round.

It's riveting stuff.

[RoyalBlingThing]

I am pouring the boiling water into the mug...better not burn myself...LOL

[TotemPole]

My big toe is itchy.

[RoyalBlingThing]

Whoops LOL

[RoyalBlingThing]

Has anyone got the number for 999 LOL

[MadreInglese]

the vague attention-whoring ones do my head in too

"XXX is pissed off that a certain person thinks they can treat you in a particular way and get away with it"

oh do fark off

[TotemPole]

RoyalBlingThing, I really am LOLling at your posts. LOL!

[RoyalBlingThing]

All you haters I'll just lie here on the floor dying then.. LOL

[TotemPole]

I've just scratched my toe, that's better.

[RoyalBlingThing]

Why to people have to be so mean? [passive aggressive] LOL

(note I have ignored Totempole]

[TotemPole]

'attention whoring' that it describes it perfectly.

'Just been to visit my uncle is in hospital and he is really not well. I just feel so sad and teary and its made me question my own mortality'.

Oh please give me a break

[DuelingFanjo]

my last status update said "Fray Bentos pies 99p in lidl, heaven! that's my lunches sorted for the week."

I HAD to share the good news, sorry

[BoffinMum]

Twitter is worse. Slebs telling their friends which other slebs they just met in sleb land.

[BeatRoute]

Yes, I have the FB friend that updates every time she does some hoovering or has a "beaut meal out with the fam"

She is also guilty of using hash tags like "#whydoIdoittomyself?"

And also "knackered.com!"

Obviously my disgust at her actually doing this does not quell my desire to look and sneer at them every time...
