What’s your pet peeve on Social Media

[PupsAndKittens]

Mine is the sharing of misinformed/ outdated/ fake news, due to people just sharing based onthe headline and bothering to actually check the article

I also refuse to share anything on Facebook that includes guilt trip and Obnoxious language. I.e, “No one will share this” “bet I won’t get one share” “if you don’t share”. There was a post last week that was a picture of a beautiful baby (Who just so happened to be black). The caption- “No one will share because they are racist.” Like WTF, I felt that was actually racist to white people, because to say that everyone of a certain race is racist, is racist for saying that all white people have the same views!

There’s a lot more but I am too --hungover-- tired to list them all

Inbox me hun....

Nosey Parker's like me want the goss

Just general immature attention seeking crap from grown adults really...
‘Cryptic’ messages’ - ‘can’t believe this is happening to me...’ queue ‘what’s wrong hun? Hope you’re ok? Inbox me...’
Checking in at the hospital without saying why...
The whole cut and paste crap where someone has to comment underneath to show they care...

Urgh. Repeat offenders are unfollowed.

Oh god I also hate the 'I bet no one will share this' crap too.

I also hate the photos of a pile of presents wrapped for a child's birthday. Why do we care? It's just so showy offy. The only person who cares is the child and they've got the actual presents.

Also the gushing messages wishing the husband/wife/child (especially one not old enough to have a FB account) happy birthday. Just tell them! They're probably right next to you!

Jeez I'm getting grumpy with age 😆.

My friend and her husband constantly tag each other in long posts declaring their love and how amazing the other one is - they work today and are literally with each other all day and to make it more ridiculous, they are rarely nice to each other in real life! It makes me question every public display of affection I see on social media as over compensating for a struggling relationship.

Kelvin Bridges does a really funny stand up routine about people posting attention seeking messages to their dead relatives in Facebook

*they work together

Wishing people who can't see it a happy birthday (like they aren't on fb or alive)

The sharing ones, the posts declaring undying love or making memories, cryptic posts, showing hospital as a location and the Christmas pile pictures where their are no children in just presents.

Those ‘local pages’......’to the bloke in the black Audi in Tesco car park, there was a queue to get out, you did not need to keep beeping your horn. I had my young daughter with me and it was unsettling for her’.

Utterly pointless post normally followed by

‘Hope you’re ok hun’.

Those stupid filters that make people look like rabbits or cats or like they’ve had a shit ton of plastic surgery and then been airbrushed.

I mean, Sharon! C’mon! You’re 45, why do you want to look like a cute wickle bunny wabbit?!?!

rolls up sleeves

• checking in at hospital but not saying why or responding to comments. Attention seeking at its finest.

• falling for and sharing a clearly bogus competition ‘someone failed to collect their new car so BMW are giving away the car tonight to one person who shares this post’

• sharing all your memories and saying ‘gosh where has the time gone’

• saying anything about ‘date night with hubby’

• posting vague quotes that are aimed at one person from your Facebook. Just tell them your pissed off! Example ‘well I know which of my family are there for me in my time of need’

• posting anything super boring. ‘Just put a wash on and off to the shop’

• when a group of friends are on a night out and the whole thing is documented in real time on Facebook. Enjoy the night and get off Facebook

• anything to do with gender reveals

Just off the top of my head. I think there are 100s more

People who post "so upset right now". Then the people who take the bait by asking what's wrong.

Endless motivational memes or pictures of sunrises.

And yes, the "if you care you'll share" pictures.

@BettysLeftTentacle

Totally agree with you there. Everyone just looks like a massive tool with those filters on.

There was actually a sad teen death in my city recently and the newspaper that reported used a photo of her with the dog filter on. Couldn’t believe it

I just recently looked at the father of daughters and mother of daughters IG after seeing an article about them and am shocked tbh-

Does nothing happen to their children that they don’t do a full piece to camera about? It’s so sad. Kids in the background living out their childhood for a million strangers whilst parent instead of looking at them is performing into a phone.

Crazy crazy world

Stealth boasting posts make me cringe. 'FB Friend' had an elf on the shelf a few Christmas's ago and every pose throughout December was staged to show possessions. Cars, expensive coffee maker, pop up cooker hood and designer clothing purchases etc etc

It was unashamed boasting using an elf:-)

pro brexit bollocks
anti corbyn bollocks related to IRA
oh and people on community groups posting pictures of badly parked cars, complete with registration, vigilantism

The fucking animal filters yes. Usually people do this are the women who were bullies at school. There's a certain irony to calling me a dog for years then putting up thousands, upon thousands, upon thousands of pictures of you and your baby with dog ears and a disgusting dripping tongue.
Also same people who were awful at school sharing wank like "be kind. You don't know what struggles a stranger is going through". Then followed by some immigrant blaming bullshit.
Yes I unfollowed all of these people.

People who tag themselves in every place they go - particularly on family days out. ENJOY THE DAY, it'll be much more fun if you get off your phone!!

Similarly people who share pictures of their kids doing everything - even the most mundane thing because "they use it as a photo album". No one cares - there are private photo storage spaces online.

Anything from the MLM #bossbabe #ifyouknowyouknow huns.

People wishing babies Happy Birthday.

People wishing their dogs Happy Birthday.

Attention seeking “I bet none of my friends care about cancer/depression or will share this” posts

Hospital check-ins

Political memes

Photos of your kids where said kids take up about 5% of the frame and you’ve carefully angled it so the other 95% actually shows us your AGA/ enormous garden/luxury villa etc.

oh and those who wash their dirty laundry, leaving their husbands, chucking out their partners,
i should delete them, but i am too curious

It's a small one, but it winds me up: selling posts which end 'needs gone'.
Have your needs gone? Does your object for sale need 'gone' (whatever that may be)?
If you mean 'I need this to be gone' then for the love of everything, type that.

I recently joined Instagram and followed a few celebs.

I was shocked to find the majority (trashy celebs of course) just sell a load of tat like they are Del Boy trotter.

Sunglasses, tracksuits, teeth whitener, skinny sauces, big fat lips etc.

I unfollowed them all.

I don't use fb or insta anymore but couldn't stand influencers (particularly those that don't own it), the weird narcissism when people take videos of themselves and stare at the camera like they are in love with themselves, at least pretend to be modest! Stealth boasting, the nails on the car wheel, coffee next to designer purse & shades, etc It's all so banal!

Sharing hoax security alerts or hoax 'local drug dealers in the playground/park' etc stories.
Barely concealed racism (instant mute or unfriend!) strangely often from people you'd not expect it from.
'cheeky (anything) with this one'
Studied at the university of life
Vague indirect posts that are clearly intended as digs at someone.

I hate facebook for all the reasons mentioned. Other platforms aren't like this, and while instagram isn't perfect it's far less annoying than Facebook.

Checking into hospital though is probably my number 1 pet peeve.
