Saw one the other day-

‘Guys, where can I donate food to? I really want to help’ To me it just smacks of virtue signalling and wanting praise. My view is that if they’ve got FB then presumably they could Google this and have they never seen the food bank bins at the door of every supermarket?

Phew rant over!

Pressed too soon!

And I cringe every time there's an update from him because I know it's either going to be one of these essays or it's going to be a "Life's crap, don't ask me why."

People who check into hospitals, then when someone asks they say, don’t really wanna talk about it... like why mention it then 🤦🏼‍♀️

Which bit?
The 1st is when someone just shares a post that's out of date because they don't fact check it and the person/cat/dog etc isn't lost.

The 2nd, she saw an fb advert selling microwaves at £1.95 each....she bought the microwave and got charged an extra £42(post was deleted so I doubt she got the microwave as well)...and then wrote a post on fb saying "oh no I was scammed" and everyone replied saying....of course you were, who sells microwaves for £2!!

So stupid sm posts where it's obviously a scam and people still do it and then post about their stupidity!
