Those people you keep moaning about, the job you keep moaning about?? It's your own f'ing company and those people pay your wage - if you're not happy sell up and fuck off with your oh so perfect wonderful bestest child in the whole wide world who I'm sick of seeing endless pics of.......

TakemedowntoPotatoCity · 18/09/2014 00:09

Do you think your four year old will thank you in years to come for the million photos A DAY and the documenting of every little move he makes? Poor kid. Let him live his life without a phone shoved in his face every 30 seconds.

Right now it is the constant barrage of Scottish Nationalism. Yes I get that you are pround of beinbg a Scot and want independence but the world does not need to see 50 posts a day about your anti-English rantings (when you lived in London for the last 20 or so years).

And the maudlin ' if you have someone in heaven'....my sister. She is a bloody atheist.

PennyPinkleton · 18/09/2014 06:24

The "Peter Andre" parent on FB gets on my tits annoys me "I love my beautiful babies SOOO much" every damn day with accompanying photos. IRL I know you can't be arsed! (FYI, we all love our DC!)
Also, the "I've been up all night" and "I do so much" brigade which paints such a one-sided picture (especially when you KNOW how much their put-upon DP and do and get no credit for!) Yes SIL I'm looking at you.

starsandunicorns · 18/09/2014 07:20

I have hidden 3 people ref the scottish vote. Yy to bitsripes delted a whole family due to constant goverment bashing and poor me im on benfits posts if your dh were to get on a temp angency he would have work just like i did its crap but its a step in the right direction

lordnoobson · 18/09/2014 07:24

there is a frickin facebook topic

rockpink · 18/09/2014 07:26

The "one like = one Prayer" posts really upset me.

dilys4trevor · 18/09/2014 07:50

Stealth boasts. Especially about DC. E.g. a video of a 3 year old doing a massively set-up, supposedly advanced activity. Cue loads of moron friends saying 'how old is he again? Amazing.'

QuietNinjaTardis · 18/09/2014 07:50

Yes to all of the above plus I really really don't want to see photos of feet, ankles, knees or hands. I just don't. Especially feet boak. Plus linking everything you put on there to a celebrity does not make you her friend. A million people link her every day. Get over yourself. Weirdo.

Amibambini · 18/09/2014 07:58

My mum & MIL both post every hoax and stupid 'share if you love your whatever's going. Plus my mum is quite a bit racist. I've unfollowed both of them now, just check in on then every few weeks to do a couple of random comments/likes as my mum would have a meltdown if she knew I've all but blocked her.

Idontseeanysontarans · 18/09/2014 08:04

Stop using text speak on your statuses. You are an intelligent woman but you're making yourself look like a dick.
LOL.

usualsuspect333 · 18/09/2014 08:07

I don't understand this thread. Why have you all got people you don't like as FB friends?

Do you not know how to use the hide or un friend button.

bonnietylersolderuglysister · 18/09/2014 08:08

Agree FB is an excellent tool for weeding out racist, vain thicko "friends"
I loathe the chavspirational memes that are ALWAYS posted by the most miserable and pessimistic people.

bonnietylersolderuglysister · 18/09/2014 08:21

And ice bucket videos and posts that start "that awkward moment" baaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Ididntseeitsoitdidnthappen · 18/09/2014 08:41

YY to people who shove cameras in their kids faces every minute of every day, just let them be ffs!

I remember when photos were taken rarely and saved for special occasions and days out not for 'look little jimmy is on the potty' or 'look little snotella is watching telly'

idunnonuthing · 18/09/2014 09:50

'look little snotella is watching telly'

Ididn'tseeit, I see a What do you think of this Name? opportunity here.
I dare you! :)

Ididntseeitsoitdidnthappen · 18/09/2014 09:52

Oh don't tempt me! Grin if I did it id get accused of trollery and banned

But I am TTC and am genuinely after baby names...

scandichick · 18/09/2014 10:00

If you post pictures of your seven month old baby eating chocolate in a group about weaning, don't be annoyed when people point out that it's not a healthy diet for your child.

Unlike the Scottish referendum, this is not a matter of debate!

FoolishFay · 18/09/2014 10:23

I've found this quite useful to check against my own FB posts; reassuringly, by these standards, I don't seem too annoying!

askyfullofstars · 18/09/2014 11:32

I've had to hide my cousin, who I generally love dearly, for posting racist anti Muslim Britain first shite.

Can I add, people who post pics while they are on holiday, constantly. On the beach, by the poolbar, ready for dinner out, in a bar....every. fucking. day. Just stop being on Facebook and enjoy your holiday FFS.

vladthedisorganised · 18/09/2014 12:16

YYYYYYYYY to Britain First posts.

And for the pseudo-science on NaturalMamasLoveTheirKidsMost or similar -

'Arnica is an effective substitute for all childhood vaccines" - NO IT ISN'T.

'A TENS machine is a more effective treatment for cancer than chemotherapy' - NO IT ISN'T

'There is more evidence for the harm caused by vaccines than there is for the benefit of the vaccines' - NO THERE ISN'T

'Substitute a nutritious watermelon for a sugar-filled birthday cake and your child's friends won't even notice!" - YES THEY WILL

"Did you know that 'naturally occurring sugars' in fruit is a consequence of genetically modified Frankenstein foods - think twice before giving your kids an apple!' - OH FFS

I think I prefer the Instagram meal photos to all that.

bonnietylersolderuglysister · 18/09/2014 12:52

Raspberry ketones!

redexpat · 18/09/2014 12:52

The pages that facebook suggest I like, are usually for things I actively dislike. I do not care about the 'Oslo boat' or DFDS.

Also I find it a bit weird when people use their status to remember deceased relatives. I know it's their perogative, but it still feels ... odd.

People who just write crap statuses. Woo! No more work for this week! Work again. Does nothing to improve my day, or serve you, only shows how dull you are.

Tapewormuprising · 18/09/2014 13:02

Stop complaining about your children all the time. It makes you sound really really vile.

CuppaTeaAndAJammieDodger · 18/09/2014 13:42

the bond between a mother and son is an incredibly strong and unique one blah blah blah (just one example of about 3 dozen a day)

Umm, so the bond between a father/son, mother/daughter etc. pales in to insignificance?
