Why is it that most of my female friends on facebook are forever posting this on other people's statuses? It's so grating. AIBU to dislike this? It just seems so childish

One of my friends is forever posting little things like this on my wall...

A bit annoying, to say the least

Yes, it's ostentatious caring, purely for showing off to others. Why not e-mail, text or phone? Why has it got to be displayed for public consumption? So needy. Hmm

YANBU. 'Hon' is annoying enough, but is at least (to me) correct, while 'hun' irritates me every time I see it.

LOOL what the fuck does that even mean !!!!!!!!!

IE: Oh hun, your so funny lool....

I'm always tempted to reply to "lool" with "what's a lool?" Grin

Everything I ever hear about Facebook validates my decision not to join the bloody thing. I think it's probably time for you to close your account profile or whatever it is, sounds like it irritates you too much (as it would me)

YANBU lol hun hugs

I think the thing that grates is that it is so insincere. As LyingWitch said, if you really care whether or not someone is ok or not, give them a ring or a text, not just an incomprehensible insincerity empty message on FB.

I also have a particular irrational hatred of "Awww", as in "awwww, that is soooooo cute, LOL"

Grrrrr.

I've noticed most people on here hate hun.It grates on me too(although I have to admit I have used itShockBlush).

Just wondered though if you're texting/facebook messaging a friend what do you call them?

I find to call them by their Christian name very formal but 'hun' is so grating iyswim.

I find that status' that prompt those kind of replies more annoying. It's usually something along the lines of "oh I'm having such a bad day" which makes some annoying friend of theirs post "hope your ok hun x". Why do people post that they are having a bad day with out putting any details - is it just so loads of people ask if they're ok so they feel loved?????

as much as I find it attention seeking also most of these people it may be the only kind/caring interaction they get all day so I try not to judge.

thelittlefriend - I have a friend who ALWAYS does this! It's so irritating! First couple of times I called her to see what had happened. 1st time, M&S had no prawn sandwiches left. 2nd time - actually I can't remember because it was so trivial. Now I never bother to investigate further.

I reply to hun with mate but I call my best friends "dude", it's probably more annoying than hun and I have no idea why I started doing it Blush
