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Mine is the sharing of misinformed/ outdated/ fake news, due to people just sharing based onthe headline and bothering to actually check the article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

Missing dogs - in Australia , 'shared Bolton', yep that's helpful.
Any Brexit, when Britain was great bollocks.
Any 'it offends Muslims' nonsense
Poppy rage

Yes yes yes yes.

“I know no one will share this” and the “I love my son” memes.

Hubby and hubs.

#relationshipgoals REALLY makes me angry. Obviously everyone posts only good photos of themselves and presents a rosier picture of their life to make people jealous but to actually come out and say that your marriage should be a goal for the rest of us?

People who post 30 photos every time they have a mini holiday or just even go to a National Trust (ie every other weekend).

Also one that I just find bizarre rather than that annoying - when people post out really specific “St Michael’s Mums - when is show and tell this week?”. I just find it odd to broadcast that to your 300 followers, most of whom were like me, childhood friends or friends from something a long time a go and have no contact with you now but yet know the most mundane parts of your life. Is there no St Michael’s WhatsApp group or could you not text one other parent that you know?

@bananaskinsnomnom can really relate to this, so true.

I’m an instagram addict but I only follow people with the same niche hobby (MN hint - not cycling ) rather than celebs or Instamums.

I know a few bigtime (20,000) influencers through work or school connections. If it helps, think of them as actresses with an IT background. Most of them are well-married women too short to be models who don’t want to describe themselves as ‘housewives’.

People who post pictures of their babies next to those cards that say shit like "I am 3 weeks old" or "I rolled over for the first time today" or "I shat all over the carpet and mummy swore in front of me for the first time today" or such bollocks.

People who post countdowns to their holidays. "3 months, 2 weeks and 5 days until Benidorm". This is of no interest to anyone other than yourself.

Any prick who insists they are "making memories"

My friend who keeps tagging me in stuff I'm not remotely interested in.

Can’t abide the apologies. “Sorry for having gone quiet on here, I hate to let my followers down but I needed some digital detox.”

Nobody noticed you’d gone.

"Does anyone know what time Asda closes at?"

GOOGLE. GOOGLE FUCKING KNOWS.

Wonky and blurred photos. They make me wonder if they fell down whilst taking it and didn't actually bother to look at it before posting it. See also: 10s or even 100s of photos that are pretty much exactly the same, where they've just pressed the button over and over and over again and rather than sifting through them to find the one that's most in focus and least blurred they just share them all.

Anything pro-Brexit.

Anything that suggests that Britain won the 2nd World War by itself.

All the racist shit and all the crap about facebook banning photos of poppies or of the Nativity etc.

The "share this to win x", "share to show you care about Y" or "share or you'll die" type bollocks.

The stuff about mental health and how they'll help anyone who asks - no they won't. They'd turn the other cheek.

The lists of random names of "girls/boys/idiots/arseholes who will buy/do/win whatever". It's just a fucking random list of all the names that the idiot who wrote it could think of.

"conversation starters" on Facebook. They have a cup of tea icon by their name and they're basically some kind of spammers.

I’ve got a MLM lass boasting about some car.... they girl doesn’t have pennies to rub together and I bet if I walked past the house the car wouldn’t be there. I’m positive they found this car outside one of their MLM meetings and took a pic next to it 😂

@ProseccoIsTheAnswerHere this is really mean of me but I’m secretly GUTTED that no one I am Facebook friends with does MLM properly. One, who I went to primary school with did join one of the make up ones and I was quite excited to have all of that #boss stuff to laugh at but she hasn’t posted much at all.

people who use facebook instead of google! ‘does anyone know the number for the chinese?’ ‘what times does the co op close?’ ‘what bus do i get to the hospital?’ just use google!! they could find out the information they need in the time it takes to write a status.

I find it odd when people advertise they are on holiday (checking in, or whatever). So now a whole bunch of people (some of whom may not be your actual friends but in similar groups to you) now know you are away from your house.

But to be honest I AM that person who only posts cat memes and videos. So what do I know?!

People who post from hospital

People who post pictures of their blood test results/ hospital letters etc

People who post pictures of their bruised arm following blood test ( every bloody time)

Grief thieves posting RIP messages about a child/ person with whom they only have tenuous links usually followed by a " there for the grace of god"'or " I hugged my little man a little tighter" when the person who has just lost their child is likely to see the post through mutual friends ( This recently happened to a local family where their 15 year old daughter killed herself- the post came less than 24 hours after this had happened... her poor mother)

Ambulance chasers who witness and accident and then post a " I hope they are all ok" when really they are
Fishing for information about what happened.

People who post "Fly Safe" when ever someone they don't even know dies.

Certain members of my family who every birthday and anniversary of the death of my child post a long sad status yet don't ring or text me to see if I'm ok 🤦🏻‍♀️. Plus this year will be 21 years since it happened and I've never posted a status about her on social media so you would think they realised I didn't like it.

People who write Disguzting and Gawguss.

Eurghhh there is loads I've been off Facebook for a week and the only thing I miss is my book group.

Status updates that invite a response, but responses are ignored. It's the epitome of rude, entitled, ignorance!

People who always put kisses after a Fb status. I’ve got one work friend who does this without fail, and her posts are always about the most mundane things e.g.
Enjoying a nice glass of wine Xx
What a lovely sunset Xx
Can’t beat a homemade quiche Xx

I’ve got another friend who posts at least 30 almost identical photos of her children daily. Yesterday one of them had fallen asleep on the sofa and there were loads of photos all taken from slightly different angles, just showing the same sleeping child 🤷‍♀️

People posting photos of their kids without their kid's permission and then throwing a hissy fit, if someone posts a photo of them without their permission.

‘Hope you’re ok hun’

TBF, its more than likely to be Hope your ok hun

Those that post fur baby. Charity chasers and who try to get everyone to support them like they're some modern day saint. LOL being used. Please please use spell checker, it's appalling how badly written some posts are, it's better to stay off social media if you're still stuck at kindergarten level.

Baby scans. They all look the same, like little wonky aliens. Ick.

People who share conspiracy theories and earnestly believe them. Best one I saw recently was "Trump is our first non satanic president."

People who post regular pregnancy updated which usually start with the tag line: "I know no one cares but I am gonna share it." I don't mind pregnancy announcements, bump updates etc. It's just the guilt trip.

Family who write stuff about supporting mental health but, yet don't support people in real life.

Couples wishing each other happy birthday and declaring how wonderful they are and how much they love each other. FFS just tell each other !! Always makes me suspicious that things aren't so great if they have to declare their undying love on fb.

I am on Facebook but with the bare minimum - no photos at all, no posts, nothing. And just one virtual friend who appeared there by accident - I have no idea how. I have no inclination to post photos of my children for the world to see, or to give strangers details of where I live or what I do.

I joined Facebook because occasionally I need to get in touch with some organisation or other.

What I find strange is that as soon as I post I am jumped on with comments that (1) it's a fake account (2) I have only one friend, which invites disparaging comments, and (3) I'm a coward because I don't have a profile photo.

I do find Facebook a very unpleasant site, to be honest.

Grief thieves posting RIP messages about a child/ person with whom they only have tenuous links usually followed by a there for the grace of god"'or " I hugged my little man a little tighter
This 100%

When my dd was murdered 4yrs ago some of the shit people who didn't even know her posted was unreal.
People should think before they post shit comments as a family are grieving and heartbroken.
