Either say what you're sad about or at least have the brains to let all your work colleagues know!!

Just need to vent, because I'm pissed off! Not wildly so, I'll get over it, but for the love of God!!

Can't stand that 'oh it's so sad.....' Statuses, followed by lots of 'are you OK Hun x' shit!

First thing this morning, a work colleague posted that. I ignored. Eventually it will come out, doubt I'd return to see though, I'm not that bothered. Then another work colleague posts the same. Then a third and a forth... Now someone on the latest post, who I also work with has posted, 'John just text me, really sad'. I also work with John! WTF is going on!

I'm not going to post WTF are you all on about anywhere on Facebook, lords knows what's happened and that's insensitive to whatever has happened. I've text someone to say would you please share!

Jesus, it winds me up!!

Thank you for listening - as you were!!

For someone who claims not to be bothered you do seem rather bothered. I'm on your side though. I'm much more selective now about who I add as friends on Facebook than I was in the begining. They need to be actual friends, not any old colleague or acquaintance, and attention seekers or habitual posters of mundane shit get unfollowed very quickly. My other pet hate is those who post the "only my true friends will repost this....." chainmail shite.

Lol. Tbh, I'm more bothered by the fact that people think this sort of thing is OK to post on Facebook.

I know what it is now and it's not nice, but it's really not something that needs to be on or discussed on Facebook. Either cryptically or otherwise. It's the sort of thing that needs to be discussed face to face or in private text messages.

YANBU. I hate vaguebooking.

Ah yes, wife of DH's friend posts something like, "Well that's me fucking told. I'll just go and jump off a cliff, shall I?"

Someone posts "What's up hun?"

She replies, "Don't wanna talk about it."

Or "I'll PM you"

I'm only coming back to this because I've just seen another post. The more I think about it, the more I don't like this particular post.

Basically, a former student has die. Reasons aren't necessary. He was 19. Trouble is, at the same time this has happened, there are two members of staff that are really, really ill. I actually think it's in really bad taste to post like this, when clearly it's work related and like me, other staff members will see it and wonder what's happened.

I have to admit, one of my first thoughts was for one of my colleagues. This is about a former student. Of course, it's bloody sad, but they just haven't thought about the consequences.

I'm really quite upset about it actually.
