Tributes to dead relatives

Oh yes, "his 73rd heavenly birthday".

Oh god my cousin did the “I did a thing” post when she put her wedding photos up 😂😂

To be fair I eloped in private so when I put my pictures up people were genuinely quite shocked. My best friend didn’t reply for two days she thought my photo was some sort of app 🤦‍♀️.

The ‘is this still available?’ automatic question on FB marketplace. Yes of course it’s still fucking available, I only listed it 23 seconds ago.

Yes but 23 seconds is all it takes for some chancer to message "I'll av it 4 £10 n can U deliva, hun xoxox"

DH just came into the room to find out why I've been giggling fit to bust.

"My world" on a photo of some parsnip-legged gimp with Tommy Shelby hair, and a rheumy-eyed brat named Teddy or Arlo.

People who post stuff like this. It's like a handy flag to identify which of your friends are terminally stupid.

*To regain friends in your news feed and get rid of ads - Hold your finger anywhere in this post and click ′copy’. Go to your page where it says ‘What's on your mind?’ Tap your finger anywhere in the blank field. Click paste. This upgrades the system.
Hello new and old friends!🥰

It's sad we have to keep doing this to kill the Ads and see our friends*

Why on Earth anyone would think posting something in your status 'up grades' the system is beyond me but many clearly do,

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 07/11/2022 18:23

Whether it’s my local market place but lately it’s been “ I have for your interest, or I present to you...” followed by a battered IKEA “Chester draws”. Guess they think it makes it sound posh.

DarkKarmaIlama · 07/11/2022 18:25

The tributes to the dead are something else aren’t they?

“Happy 134th birthday to my nanny Josie up in heaven”.

"If you know, you know"

"Methinks"

People asking for help, then saying "Go!", as if no-one's got anything better to do than answer a mind numbingly banal query.

That's the absolute worst - "Best restaurant in Newport Pagnell. Aaaaaaand - go!"

This thread is really making me laugh. One of the many reasons I’m no longer on FB.

Tributes to dead relatives

Addressed directly to them, as they are still on Facebook in the grave

JustDanceAddict · 07/11/2022 18:36

All of the above &

Heavenly birthday.

Anon778833 · 07/11/2022 18:38

‘And just like that…(insert birthday or achievement)

I also hate ‘this one’ as mentioned above.

Mommy. FFS. I can understand regional variations - mum, mam, mammy, mom etc. But effing Mommy??

Flowersinspringgrowwild · 07/11/2022 18:38

This is honestly why I left Facebook!
