Hilarious FB stealth boasts

[lovelyjubilly]

'I feel so guilty! I have taken my children out doing fun activities every day of the summer holidays so far for the past 3 weeks and today we are having a day at home. I feel so bad that they're going to be bored! Anyone else feeling guilty about having a day at home?'

Any other gems?

I'm OK with exam results. I was desperate to post dd's - 5 As not so stealth boast - but she wouldn't let me.

Some of these are awful, but I also get a bit weary of the people who call talking about anything positive a 'stealth boast'. You are allowed to tell people about something nice that happened to you, or that you achieved. It's allowed.

Honestly, I'd just say I was so proud of what she'd achieved. I don't think the actual results matter.

I think it's fine to be proud of your child's achievements and I might have bragged about them getting A's (and B's and C's...) on FB too. Not in a stealthy way either.

It's a rare opportunity to boast and I'd be happy for you/them that they got great results. It's shitty of people to make you feel bad for being happy about something so positive.

Part 3 where it continues! 😂
Except I can't because I'm not allowed to upload more than 6 photos a day!
Gayle says:
"Tamara Y Perhaps. Perhaps I just called you out and you don't want to look at it.

Perhaps I thought that as you're skilled at the deep work you might enjoy some more.

But I guess not.

No skin off my nose."

I have wanted to reply with something like this to many a post but haven't. Gayle knocked it out the park!!

I do t know these people, it's public I think.

Years of 'experimenting in relationships'. What utter bollocks lol
Doing like we all do - getting by and figuring what works and what doesn't - but it's not scientific quest we set out on.

I have someone on my FB who’s husband ran off with someone else a good while ago. She constantly puts up photos of herself, holidays and how he’s a scumbag etc all on public so he can see. It’s quite sad really as despite the posts saying she’s over him she’s clearly not

@Twistella this is exactly what I do too, I use Facebook like a diary I love looking back on Timehop and seeing where I was this time last year etc. I have also found it useful to track what’s going on with my MS and I’ve realised there’s a bit of a pattern with the relapses. Not all posts are about looking for sympathy or bragging sometimes people post for their own benefit and no more than that

These kind of posts are my guilty pleasure 😀

I have someone on my facebook who always brags about being vegan and how cauliflower rice has changed her life. Oh look at my bamboo toothbrush #savingtheplanet

One of her relatives usually calls her out in all the BS though, which makes it even funnier!

DH uses FB, I dont. He uses it just to keep in touch with an old friend. He's only just decided to tell me he has our neighbour added who posts pictures of her dinner every night and then goes for "cheekies" in the garden. This we can only assume is a glass of wine fucking cheekies. It's a drink and you're allowed it because you're an adult fgs. It's not in any way cheeky.

I used to know someone who'd refer to "a cheeky line"

Shameless placemarking

Ive one...i joined a school on supply and as expected people friended my Facebook. The name of a teacher who I heard of but hadn't meet popped up. Very pretty little selfie but obviously touched up. I'd been there weeks before I clicked that the morbidly obese lady who sat next to me at lunch was the same person. She's on't young so it's not an old photo but I'd say it was false advertising.

I'm guilty of this.
Just the other day I boasted about taking my DD to the opening of a new Aldi Store.
Seriously though, I'd have to 'mute' those types on Facebook!

My neighbour puts photos of her house and garden on fb & Insta constantly. As if anyone gives a shit that they've got some tacky bunting and a chimnea. It's quite the source of amusement in our village.

"Merry Christmas everybody! Sorry that this is late, I prefer to spend Christmas day away from my phone enjoying the time with my family"

Yeah sweetheart whereas we were on our phones all day waiting for your Christmas well wishes with baited breath

When people take a selfie on a train and they position their head/camera in such a way to capture the "First Class" written on the head rest ha. Sad fuckers

My SIL is just like this. Only puts photos of fancy hols to Dubai up. Not the caravans in Devon that I do as I'm completely opposite and love sharing the funny or touching moments in my life wherever that may be.
She once asked why I share all the normal moments of my life as that's not what social media is for, it's to show a better version of yourself apparently. Although I'd argue I do as I take the drying knickers off the radiator first
All I know is my children are laughing and having whale of a time in my photos. DN just seems so glum and serious in hers.

he has our neighbour added who posts pictures of her dinner every night and then goes for "cheekies" in the garden. This we can only assume is a glass of wine

I'd have assumed it was something else. I was sweet and innocent once.

vodkarevelation I think we may be on the same parenting group, I saw that too. Complaining about her dd’s school.

I'd love to see one of the Mercedes Benz posts, the only reply to that would have to be "are you Janis Joplin?"
