The worst cases of oversharing you’ve seen on social media (lighthearted)

This thread is so funny

I haven’t seen anything really shocking but I have unfollowed a lot of people because of the sheer number of toddler and baby pictures they post. The occasional picture is fine but when it’s multiple videos and pictures a day then it’s too much

Oh this thread has unexpectedly cheered me up

Someone once posted a shit their kid did in the bath- grim! What goes through some people’s minds I don’t know.

Another posted her ex boyfriend, who she just broke up with, fully dressed in her lingerie to embarrass him- it was so disgusting and he looked like such a twat I couldn’t laugh as my jaw wouldn’t lift from the floor!!

That was nasty!

Ohhhh I wish I had some of these on my timeline!

I like a drink and am not uptight about alcohol- but if EVERY Facebook post you ever make is about what you’re drinking or what pub you’re at, and it’s daily (not just every weekend), it doesn’t matter if it’s craft beer or artisan gin - you’re an alcoholic!

The most prolific over sharers appear outwardly confident, but I think are probably the most insecure. I've got one FB friend I snooze constantly so I don't see her MLM crap and another with terrible health anxiety who posts publicly how awful everything is. I understand she has mental health issues, but it's absolutely soul sapping to see it constantly, never anything upbeat or happy . If you comment anything other than agreeing with her she argues about it.

I absolutely agree with your point, makes me somewhat uncomfortable too.
A girl who when we were growing up was a FOF and admittedly had a really rough childhood, was in Foster care for a time etc now runs some sort of security business, or her DH does I can never remember which.
Anyway she obviously now has the kind of lifestyle which as a child she could only have dreamt of and good for her too!
Unfortunately she posts every single gift, silly things like a Pandora bracelet to a new car on her FB. She falls out with all the friends from her childhood and accuses them of 'jangling about what she has' and being jealous of her. She then buys new friends by giving their DHs jobs at her DH's company.
Its just so uncomfortable to witness and she is so obviously trying to work through her shitty childhood by doing these things but I had to mute her as she just came across as such a bitter, nasty person. Painful to witness.

Having a scroll through fb and a classic over sharer popped up, i immediately thought of this thread!

Today they have diarrhoea, graphic description included. The offenders other recent posts include suicide threats because a named and tagged person hadn't replied to a text and a toilet selfie, pants visibly pulled down but luckily no genitals on show this time.

Someone I have on Facebook took a picture of a plucked grey pube and took a picture off it with the caption ‘I must be getting old’ and the aubergine emoji

Someone I knew took to announcing her then 13yr old DS had suddenly started enjoying long baths in the evening, most days she'd post that he'd gone for a bath.
I told DD who was the same age, to see her reaction, and she went, "noooooooooooo, she's told the who of FB that her son wanks in the bath every night"
The mother seemed oblivious, but given DD's reaction, his friends wouldn't have been.

A few years ago someone I know videoed their child's funeral on their phone and broadcast it live on Facebook. Baffling.

Not quite in the spirit of the thread but when people ‘display’ their birthday/xmas/anniversary etc gifts, cards & fanned out money - it makes my teeth itch

A FB acquaintance shared that her cystitis hadn't cleared up and was causing her pain so she was going to doctors for antibiotics

She's no longer on my FB

DH has a small business and therefore a lot of contacts on LinkedIn. Everyone is told to 'have a presence' on social media these days and most are pretty useless and boring. I am not sure that a lot of people choose a sheet metal manufacturer based on their Instagram.

Nonetheless he was absolutely bemused when one business contact's wife decided to 'share our IVF journey' with all his contractors and suppliers on LinkedIn: peed on stick tests, her injecting herself in the stomach, on a couch at a clinic etc etc

She herself had no role in the business and the business was nothing to do with fertility or IVF it was a manufacturing company. She also had her own personal accounts but decided to put all this up on the business ones as well.
I have no idea if she thought this would be good for business somehow or if she thought that all her DHs business contacts would somehow actually be interested in this. It was rather odd.

Oh and anyone who sells Scentsy. Someone I know even posted a picture of her kissing a scentsy cleaning product and is always sharing pictures of patronising certificates like a primary school kid with star of the week

… former colleague has joined what I can only assume is a witch/pagan MLM scheme… it’s like watching a train crash in slow motion.

One of my friends updated his cover photo to one of the placenta after his child was born. I thought it was brilliant. (They don’t share any photos of their child generally). It was like a fantastic two fingers up to the cult of sharenting.

I also hate when people post that they have the best boyfriend/husband in the whole wide world and they are just the luckiest person. It’s nearly always followed by the splitting up message a month later

On a serious note someone I know lost a baby quite late in the pregnancy. She posted a lot of pictures of him on fb. I understand this could be an expression of grief but it was very upsetting and possibly very triggering for some people to see they unexpectedly while scrolling Facebook. I think some things need to be kept private.

Someone I know is in a new relationship, he is in his 30’s and his partner is older. We have to hear about Daddy and Cub all the time, worst was a picture of Daddy in speedos with what a lucky cub he is! Also any snogging photos from anyone, one person you could even see the tongue action. I could almost understand 13 year olds but 40/50 year olds

I've only had one, her toddler did a poo on the window sill, complete with photo
