Most annoying/ outrageous FB posts/people

[Narwhalelife]

Just some fun - I always want to delete FB but some of the above keeps me hooked!

My pet peeves….

• tagging in at hospitals and it’s is 100% nothing
• Any post that contains the phrase ‘making memories’
• ‘My Monday view’ and it’s usually a pool or beach - you are on holiday, you are not Jeff Bezos
• Any photos of a poorly child coughing, crying, having been sick - usually with a lengthy text about how ill their child is ‘temp spiking 45degrees’ and all the comments suggest A&E to which OP will play down and ‘hope it’s nothing’ 😑
• my MiL sharing posts of lost dogs (from Romania or the USA) he ain’t going to be up the park near us.
• Anything that starts ‘share if you agree’
• seasonal post Christmas trees with presents or just trees, trust me they all look alike I have the same bastard thing in my alcove to look at

let’s have them!!

They tend to stay in their yards or are allowed out a few hours a day under supervision. Some walk them on leashes. Dogs in neighbours yards tend to stop cats going over. Cats being taken back home/sprayed (water bottle) by neighbours also trains them no to go there.

"All those ladies with names on this list will get pregnant this year. Tag your friends!".

Not only are things like that hugely upsetting for those going through fertility treatment or TTC or unable to conceive, it's just the biggest "fuck off" from me ever.

Big long winded messages written addressed TO small children.
Big long winded messages written addressed TO dead people.

”Happy birthday Tobias, you are my entire soul and moon and stars and sun and grass and bricks and twigs. I love you so much I hope you have a great day” pointless. Speak to your child.

”grandad I will always miss you, remember when we used to sit on your swing in the garden?”
no, he doesn’t remember and I doubt the afterlife has access to Facebook

Also, simple typos and grammatical errors tend not to rile me too much, but I unfriended somebody a couple of years ago after she wrote countless statuses with the word "carn't" in. Over and over. Other people tried to correct her but she didn't take a blind bit of notice. It gave me the rage once too often so... off you pop!

Having a good laugh at all of the above.
Totally identify - every single one used to absolutely drive me nuts, especially
"Karma is a wonderful thing"..... Is it ? The undertone suggests that if such a concept exists, wishing bad luck on someone else then would return to you by Karmadefault!

I had good groups I belonged to for my interests, one of which I ran , so I kept on FB for longer than I wanted. Eventually it became so unbearable I decided to see if I could manage without my groups - of course I could ! DELETED! Almost 3 years ago now and never looked back and feel free ! Haha 😂

"No one knows any word in English which contains the letters e. Prove me wrong."

I've never seen one of those that hasn't got multiple common place words that fit.

One from our local:
"Free: One not particularly good in the first place hoover. Hasn't worked since 1996 but just in need a a little tlc to get working again. Must be gone by tonight." (put on daily for the next fortnight)

Otherwise known as "I want someone else to take it to the tip."

I'm only friends with real life friends on fb. They are all no/low drama type people. Only annoyance is the local lost pets page when people occasionally abduct someone's elderly bedraggled looking cat, or someone suggest that they take it to the vets to check for its chip. Then discover the poor wee cat who is old and a bit ill has been traumatised and has some seriously pissed off owners.

Stupid pointless awareness raising. Most people wont repost this blah blah autism. You know my asd ds doesnt need facebook statuses, he needs funding for extra help and ressources.

See also those who scold other women who havent had a smear test. "Its a couple of minutes of discomfort" well maybe for you, but any thread on the subject on mn will show you trauma, pain, indifferent hcp, unavailable appointments, piss poor systems...

I always find myself laughing when something is commented on containing the word "discusting/discusted". It crops up on our local FB sites and it's the same posters every time.

It's usually about dog poo/cat poo, vandalism or theft, gp surgeries or anything political.

Someone always corrects them but it never seems to make any difference.

Gushing over the top status about DH or DP birthday/anniversary usual including "my rock/my world"

@Squiff70 🤣🤣 That's very funny!

I'll be doing that tomorrow! Couldn't give a shit if people don't like it. I don't like the fact my nearly 2 year old isn't here for us to celebrate his birthday

@HopingForMyRainbowBaby I'm sorry for your loss and I can see how posting on his birthday can help you if it gives you an opportunity to speak about your baby.

Ordinarily I do agree with pp though those posts do make me roll my eyes "happy heavenly birthday grandad" grandad wasn't on Facebook when he was alive he's certainly not checking it now he's dead so what's the purpose of the post? Just fot the sympathy comments and likes? Cos if it was really about grandad there are plenty of other ways to remember him.

@Narwhalelife "I have the same bastard thing in my alcove to look at" 😂😂😂 brilliant

Mine are:

• anything mentioning "holibobs"
• "I did a thing"
• any caption of a child with "our little miracle" when there was nothing miraculous about their drunken shag
• this one woman who is repeatedly getting into random relationships and posting crap like "I've waited for you my whole life" and then they inevitably break up. Followed by posts of "Done with men for real now"
• posts about how funny it is that they get rat arsed drunk every weekend and can't remember anything
• my SIL who posts about 200 pics of her DC every day to her public Facebook but won't take them swimming to a public pool because of strange men being there
• anyone posting pics of their DC sick or crying... I HATE this one I feel like it's such an invasion of their privacy
• anything related to a pyramid scheme or "FM scents"

"I love this scentsy/fake perfume/body shop crap soooo much, I am really proud of how well my little business is doing".

You're a gullible idiot who has been conned into an MLM scheme, go away!

The worst thing I ever saw was not long after the death of a local woman. She'd lived in the area all of her life and was quite an outgoing and well known woman locally. She had a few children and the youngest was still in primary school. Her death was sudden an unexpected. Absolutely heart breaking.

Local facebook was filled with people wanting to know how she'd died, what had happened, wanting to discuss gossip they'd heard about her in the past... forgetting that her husband and children could see it all. Some of it didn't go down too well and the people posting were so thick that they got into an online argument with grieving family members instead of realising that, whether they thought they'd been insensitive or not, the family didn't like it so they should drop it.

The worst bit was that a few weeks later, her teenage daughter posted some stuff about her mum and photos of herself crying. In her post she talked about how people had been slagging her off because she 'didn't seem that upset on facebook'. This poor child felt forced into documenting and posting her grief for nosy fucking vultures to prove that she cared enough that her mum had died. It absolutely sickened me. I'd always known that some of the people here weren't the brightest or particularly mature, but I was still surprised by how many people openly behaved that way.

Out with "this one" or, going to the cinema with "the one" as if I'm supposed to give a shit who they are. Is it so hard to just say their name?

Tagging yourself in hospital or taking a selfie in a hospital bed with no context. Then when people reply to the post, radio silence or "inbox me hun" But not saying what's wrong. Completely pointless attention seeking post

Heavenly birthdays

Photos of people's lunch/dinner

Too many hashtags

I know someone who constantly slags off her so-called mates behind their backs, but then posts photos of herself and said mate, with stupid comments like "love you to the moon and back, bestie". It makes me so annoyed.

God I HATE those "Hit me with your best recommendations for Greek food/holidays in Mauritius/spas in Arbroath..... and....go!"

Like we're all just perched by our keyboards oh-so-eager to make our pathetic lives worthwhile by contributing a suggestion to you. When I see one I usually say (out loud) "No!" which I do realise is weird.

Don't even get my started on 'Rainbow Bridge'. Worse still, 'THE Rainbow Bridge'. The word 'the' is the definitive article, so this would suggest that no other version of this bullshit concept counts, or any other person's vision of a 'Heaven' for pets. Oh no... it's only YOUR version!

One delivery driven I know posts regular updates of where he is, and also pictures of pubs he's stopped off in, meals he's had etc. Boring.

Please like and share (this very sad post) - "I know nobody will" !!!

I hate materialistic posts with pics of presents like can't wait for x to get up and see all their gifts Etc it just comes across as shallow. A girl I was friends with on Facebook had form for posting vague ranty statuses about her boyfriend and his ex and then five mins later she's tagging him in lovey dovey posts. Also hate making memories or posts that contain the words, fambam,famalam, holibobs ect

I generally didn't have any friends who post annoying shit (even less so now as I've cut down FB to a minimum of people for whom it's my main/only source of contact as I couldn't stand 60%+ of posts being adverts and promotions!)

But I did once friend a girl from primary school and.... hooo boy!

Despite living in North London, and having no relationship to America as far as I know, she was a massive Trump fan, saying what a good thing he was for America. The last straw was when she posted that she'd overheard nurses from a local hospital saying that their hospital had been empty for months but they'd been told to say it was full of people with COVID. Because that totally happened and of course every single one of the 1000+ staff there would have been just fine with no one getting any health care for no reason because they'd been 'told to' and not a single one would have blown the whistle. 🙄

Defriended at that point. I had wondered if her account had been hijacked by some rightwing American nutter but there was the odd post about normal stuff, plus she namechecked the local shopping mall and hospital. I see her occasional posting nonsense on the local Nextdoor now.

Innocently asking someone to show you their tits and getting threatened with a ban.
