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Mine is the sharing of misinformed/ outdated/ fake news, due to people just sharing based onthe headline and bothering to actually check the article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

Anyone who announces that they're going to have a fb cull. And then announces 'we'll done' to those they haven't deleted. 🙄

Someone I have on social media posts pictures of their child with their age in months. The kid is 6 years old!

"Hubby"
"Date night"
"Living best life"

There's one friend on FB, I only keep him on because I'm continuously astonished at the countless crap he posts everyday. Things like "Had a dream last night I was a banana"

People who reply to everyone else but you... Rude.

"Hubalub". Delete me now.

Also, I have a couple of friends who are married who use social media for fishing/flirting and it's both pathetic and faintly ridiculous. One puts photos of herself online frequently with "I wish I was x..." posts essentially so people will reply "you're gorgeous, babe" and I want to reply "but you're not, you vacuous shit, so stop fishing" and have to close the laptop and find something to do so that I don't become a monster.

One of my biggest is people sharing bad pictures of their kids, like when it’s a completely bad angle or they’re doing a really ugly face, it’s not cute, it just makes me think they have really ugly kids when I’m reality it’s just them capturing and posting their worst angles 🙄

Those passive aggressive memes.

Normally saying something about narcissistic people but posted but someone narcissistic.

*by not but !

"Need gone..." on Facebook selling pages!!

I feel like I must live in a wee FB bubble. I like seeing pictures of people’s children and the stuff they get up to. I presume the people I am friends with feel the same way.

I am on some funny groups which make me laugh and have a few very small, more focused groups which are nice.

I do 100% agree with some of the stuff mentioned above though:

Hospital check ins
Vague booking
Sharing “most of my FB friends wont share this” bullshit
Sharing pictures of people randomly reported as missing without thinking about the potential consequences.
Liking and sharing fake crap in the hope of getting free shit
Adults doing repeated pouty selfies just so we can all say how gorgeous they are.

I must say, I agree with most of the replies. Whilst I can see both sides I personally don’t think there is anything wrong in posting pictures of your OWN child on social media, as I don’t think it’s any different to parents that put there kids into modelling, however if The child explicitly tells the parent they do not want to be on there, I think their wishes should be respected.

But I think the bottom line is social media is just full of shit!

Checking in at the hospital! It just screams i want attention please ask me why i am here.

I hate the ones that put an exclamation mark at the end of RIP - it seems so inappropriate
Among the...
Sorry for your loss.
Our nanny will be greatly missed...
type posts, you get stupid insensitive fuckwits chucking in a gauche
RIP!!!
It’s not funny

'Vague-booking'

Pisses me right off. Somebody posts something like 'worst day ever' then as soon as anyone asks (never me!) what's up... 'I'll inbox you hun xx' 😡 it's just attention seeking.

People who post photos of their kids and say ‘love them’.

Is it just me who thinks ‘well, that’s lucky isn’t it as they’re your kids?’

1. People who share missing posts for pets eg has anyone seen our Timmy the tortoise last seen in our garden in Aberdeen yesterday. & then the comments will be "shared in Winchester", "shared in Cardiff" etc just on the off chance that Timmy got on a fuckin plane.
2. Overly gushy happy birthday to the best bff/mamma/sis/my rock with 40 photos of the poster looking gorgeous in all of them and the birthday person not quite so gorgeous.

Every-fucking-thing once upon a time! I got fed up of reading about the next "best" thing, whining, attention seekers, fake people. It just clicked in my head one day that enough was enough. That's when I deleted every single one of my social media accounts a good couple of years ago now. I don't have any at all! I only use Mumsnet. Absolutely no regrets.

1. People posting pictures of their new cars on Facebook. So tasteless. We can all pay £250 a month for a new Ford Focus.

1. People checking in at hospitals.

1. People who post horrible status updates about their kids being ‘little shits’ or their baby waking loads in the night.

1. In local groups it annoys me when people try to start a reminiscence type chat like ‘do you remember the days your mum could send you to the shop with a note asking to sell you cigarettes?’ and everyone piles in with ‘aye Betty, those were the days’.

1. People who treat every comment as if it’s a personal message and sign it off with their name.

1. Anything that could be perceived as bragging.

1. People airing their dirty laundry.

1. Political posts.

1. Filters. Forty-odd year old women with skin like a baby all of sudden, bambi eyes and a flower crown. Get a bloody grip.

10. Cleavage selfies.

So much about Facebook annoys me. People are their worst selves on there.

Oh I forgot!! ‘Happy birthday to my amazing, beautiful girlfriend. I hope you have a wonderful day’

Just open your bloody mouth and speak to her.

Guests who post pics of the bride before she does

Any reference to ‘princess or prince’
And reference to ‘fab parents evening, was told DC was the best at X in the class’

One of the other parents from school - who is in a quite senior role in our local authority -is always putting passive aggressive statuses on about people being cunts/twats/whatever. Eg "It's world Friendship Day, so happy I have good friends and that I am able to ignore all the cunts - you know the kind who ignore you in the staff room" type posts.

Fucking grow up Dave, I feel like commenting "You have an awful lot of beef with people, maybe it's you?"

YY @GreenTulips I seem to know EVERYTHING teachers of other people's kids have said on parents evening.

"Super proud of Jack tonight had a glowing report, teacher says he is kind, considerate and well behaved, honestly I am BURSTING with pride"....hang on aren't kids supposed to be kind and well behaved??

My kids are very "middle of the road" in terms of academic achievements and it would be the most boring status if I reiterated their parents evening reports

@Examssuck yep one couple I know post articles to each others' walls like ones called "5 things that make a great husband" she will post saying "You have all 5 of these babe 😍😍".

It's not that they can't tell them in person seeing as they live together, what they're doing is saying "look world, we love each other soooo much and were oh so happy and in love". Which makes me think they probably have a shit marriage TBH

Our local group is now a dog shit vigilante group. I hate dog shit, I lost count of the times I wheeled my pram through piles of it during the school run. But I don't feel the need to scrutinise hours of cctv footage and then post screenshots of the shitting dogs on the internet!

shortening their own surname and making it a thing. I have a friend whose surname is Wynne and she constantly posts photos of her 3 sons with captions like "watch out world, the Wynnie boys are coming for you" or "Wynnie boys big adventure at the beach".

Another friend is a crompton. "#Crommies"

makes me want to headbutt the screen.
