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Mine is the sharing of misinformed/ outdated/ fake news, due to people just sharing based onthe headline and bothering to actually check the article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

@woodymiller Timmy the tortoise made me snort out loud xD

I hate people who post irrelevant comments about themselves on other people’s statuses/pictures. My partners aunt is terrible for this- we posted a pic of us on a weekend away once and she replied with a massive comment about how she’d had a dream the other night about her dead sister in law

People who # everything

People who give cryptic clues ..... hospital check ins, why does this always happen to me ? ..
Like, what ????
Just tell us, we know you're dying to but want the drama of a build up ! ... waiting for the.....hope you're ok hun response .....aggghhh!

Pretty much everything that's been said.

Plus the fake front. Posting 50 billion staged photos of your dc with #makingmemories and a load of illiterate phrases implying you're a great parent doesn't convince anyone that actually knows you. We all know you're selfish and crap. Ditto for crappy animal owners that do the same.

Begging. Not from a charity or someone looking for one, or even someone desperate for cheap essentials . People asking for none essentials free or 'cheep as possible' coz hubby n me r struggling since we took bubz to Disneyland.

Same for services, people asking for recommendations for a job, but can't be overpriced like the 10 quotes they've already had from professionals. Eg

'Any1 recommend a good builder. Need a two floor extension. No silly prices, willing to pay £1000 max. Must be finished by Wednesday'

And my personal favourite, horse ads. Always some incompetent fool that regards themselves as an Olympic hopeful, either wanting free use of a horse to practice their bouncing around on and implying this is a great favour to the owner. Or wanted ads to buy, with a max budget of 10% of the market value for the criteria they're demanding.

I unfollowed almost everyone I know and just use it for groups now. People who I really like in real life just come across as dicks on fb.

People who post millions of photos of their kids, of course posting some is fine but 20 or 30 a day is just weird. I once saw a girl playing on her mum's phone. The mum suddenly asked the girl to stand up, the girl ran through about 30 or so poses while the mum took photos, then the girl sat down with the phone again. Not a word spoken between them. It was so obvious that this was how they spent every weekend together and it made me so sad. My husband never even notices this type of thing and even he was appalled. It just seems like people have their kids so they can put photos of them all over fb. Really weird and fucked up.

Oh and all the twee language, bubz, lil man, hubby, momma...ugh.

And the couples who post about how much they love each other, ALWAYS the ones with massive problems, I know one couple who are always on about how amazing the other one is, how much they love their life, but he is an alcoholic who goes on benders til 3am while she has no idea where he is, she once threatened him with a knife and only stays with him because she doesn't want the stigma of being a single mum (she told me as such multiple times). I don't get it. Just don't post, it makes you come off as unhinged.

Public pages with location tags, full names, suburbs listed, kids in school uniform, birthdates provided, detailed CV style info, exterior shots of houses with street numbers, open friends lists, work locations etc.
Oh and the worst hybrid business personal pages on Instagram featuring their own children yet publicising to the world.

@StartsAtTheMeadow Yes don't be coy with the bragging just say what you're alluding to & then you can add the #Isayithowitis #honest #haterz etc!

A long self pitying post along the lines of ‘feeling so sad today, no-one understands the pain of XXX’ They then wait for the appropriate number of responses before saying ‘I’ll PM you hun’. I point blank refuse to respond in any way to those posts.

@ParkheadParadise I'm sorry for your loss & how insensitive can people be, I think a lot of them have forgotten how to engage their brain or just cannot think of anyone but themselves.

I know someone who is by marriage linked to someone v famous, and by extension believes herself to be a celebrity in her own right. Her best photos are the ones where she is posing for a pouty, breasty selfie and has one of her kids in the background (slightly blurred) and she’ll make a reference to her child in the caption ‘my boy’, ‘my princess’ etc when it’s quite clearly a photo of herself 😂

I really do think that social media is a scourge on humanity; a breeding ground for narcissists and attention-seekers.

People who tag their mates in the comments section of a post rather than share it to their page or via DM. Particularly annoying on news articles-I want to read comments, not a list of names.

People who type "F" in the comments to get notifications instead of just turning on the notifications via the arrow on the top right.

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 if they are too young to say one way or the other (and to truly understand the enormity of the internet) it's best to err in the side of caution and not post them publicly, surely? I wouldn't share photos of anyone else without their consent, why should children not be afforded the same respect?

on*

People sharing stuff that is blatantly unverified:

eg shaming posts- sharing from some random person a 'This is a photo of TIM SMITH who was PROSECUTED for KICKING A DOG share this picture far and wide!' - with no other information, no proof that this is Tim Smith or that he was prosecuted for kicking a dog

eg racist shit-stirring: 'Here are MUSLIM IMMIGRANTS in Manchester ATTACKING a retired couple', and there's no way or telling from the video that the attackers are Muslims, or immigrants, or that the people they are attacking are retired and it frankly looks from the street furniture and cars that it's not even the UK.

Sorry but you’re all wrong.

“1 like = 1 prayer. Let’s get a million like’s for this cancer baby.”

Sets my piss to boiling point immediately.

Birthday fundraisers, especially those people who can't even be bothered to change the reason for asking for donations from this cause means a lot to me.

Using it to share other people’s news.
Live feeds when the people on the feed don’t know they are being filmed.
Neither person believing they have done anything wrong.......

Sadly this has caused no end of heartache and irreparable damage.....

Facdbook makes kind, fun likeable people post weird or annoying or showoff messages in the bid to get likes. I hate that some parents seem to rarely,if ever, get their child's consent before posting photos. This at times is painfully obvious, when their beloved child is pictured, for example, looking devastated after their team loses in semi- final.

Sharing posts about a dog who was lost in 2013 in Minnesota, just in case someone spots it in Bognor Regis.

Sharing any hideously over-dramatic warning post without checking it out on Snopes first - my MIL is forever doing this!

RIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and couples tagging each other out having coffee. Just that. Who cares!

@AutumnRose1 oh gosh, where to start! The most obvious I suppose is the friend who posts the 'look at us with our perfect family life', whereas I know that it's not at all perfect. It interests me that she feels the need to paint a different picture online, rather than post nothing or tone the posts down a bit. If you met her in real life you'd probably think that she was a confident, strong woman, so it interests me that she 'lies' in this way online.

That sort of thing.
