I'ver still got my mum's Facebook, still send her messages, photos . Share photos and memories with family on Facebook . Her phone's been cancelled, she's dying in a care home with no idea who she is, who I am, let alone what Facebook is, but it helps me to talk about her and 'to her' . I can't bear to cancel her account, I can't even delete her phone number . It's the only way I can cope - I sign into her account sometimes and read her statuses and memories things and its like I can still hear her . I couldn't imagine deleting her account .

Sending you love ❤️ I had a relative pass recently but I can’t bare to look at her Facebook profile because the tears will flood uncontrollably but I know In time I’ll treasure her profile and all her funny posts and I’ll write to her on there xx

‘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??

Exactly what is wrong with using the term 'mommy'? If you are accepting of all other variations to describe someone's mother, in areas where the term 'mom' is used, then young children say 'mommy'.

Posting something with the caption "I can't even".

You can't even what??? 😡

Or the posts that say something really stupid like "show me a woman who doesn't rely on a man" Followed by "I'll wait" 🙄

theMedicinalPorpoise · 08/11/2022 15:18

"I need my nails/hair/teeth/brows/organisational skills done in the next ten minutes can anyone help?"

"OMG Happy Birthday to [PERSON NOT ON FACEBOOK] followed by twelve paragraphs of mawkish guff they won't read and eleventy billion likes and comments along the lines of Awww Happy Birthday beautiful boy/girl/dog/cat/mouse/cheese"

“Been thoroughly spoilt”

I’m still laughing at parsnip legged gimp @RambamThankyouMam

ShatParp · 08/11/2022 18:55

"Read that again" or "let that sink in" after a patronising post implying the readers are all shit parents. Fuck off you self righteous twat!

Not a phrase as such, but people tagging themselves in at a hospital. Maximum attention seeking.

agree, and them when ppl ask what’s up they post “have pmed you”

My brothers girlfriend. Posting pics of each course of food when she's eating out with something snappy like 'ladies who lunch' and a selfie with 87 filters on it & a load of these fuckers 😍😍😍🥂🥂🍴🍴 Loads of her nans mates commenting 'oooh we must try it', 'that looks incredible'. Went to a close family members wedding, she posted pics of the food on Facebook before we'd finished eating. So fucking dull, she really is. One of these days I'd like to tell her.

FeelMyBicep · 08/11/2022 21:52

Heavenly birthdays
In 30 years the posts will read 'happy heavenly birthday to my mum, she would've turned 128 today'. Yeah, I bet.

Ps this thread is the best!!

A photo of a plate of food, with ‘Thanks for dinner Tom/ Sam/ Daisy, whoever it may be.

Why not just thank them in person when they put the plate in front of you.

Legselevens · 08/11/2022 22:57

This comment 🤣

Nugg · 08/11/2022 22:58

Opened gifts laid out like a shop display with choice most expensive items zoomed in on separately.

Family I know well and love, but who are very showy, do this every year despite their offspring now being adults. Hope they have a good alarm system 😳

All of these! But this made me snort.

SunshineLoving · 08/11/2022 23:04

I don't really look at Facebook other than the selling pages.

One that gets me is 'can I be considered?' usually posted on a item that has already had five pages of the same comment. Considered for what? This sofa that was probably collected 5 weeks ago now?

Also, 'TIA'. But that's only because I was confused for a long time about how busy Tia was.

SpookySally · 08/11/2022 23:21

Ending posts with “thank me later” or “you’re welcome” really gets on my tits.
