AIBU to de-friend someone on Facebook...

[Honte]

... because in every status update she makes some smug comment about her wonderful 'hubby'.

Issues I have with this:

1. The word 'hubby' makes me retch.
2. He is horrible to her a lot of the time.

noniks: "...and why do all these other women make do all this cooing and smarming - like she's sonething to aspire to"

I always wonder this. Why isn't everyone else as irritated by this shit as I am?

By the way Im finally getting the hang of emoticons ..Im off to FB to update my status...

Noniks - but these people make themselves look sooo insecure with these updates don't they and that is funny!

Oh Honte dear, the point of fb is to keep in touch with friends and post whatever the bloody hell you want on your page and if you spend so much time raging about how other people update their life you have the problem, not them and have you ever stopped to wonder if your friend with the hubby is deluding herself with the updates as it is the only way she copes with horrid hubby or that he might bully her? Maybe you should try seeing how you can help as a friend.

And yes, we should accept friends as they are or else don't be their friend!

I had a shit this morning and forgot to update my FB status.

I'll have to try to squeeze another one out this afternoon

The smug updates I can just about skip over and ignore in the newsfeeds, it's the "can you spare a cow for John's farm in Farmville", or "can you send Jackie a wooly mammoth so she can complete her crossword" that make my blood boil!

Feck off, I'm all out of cows today.

yeah get rid :o

I know what you are saying jumper but at the end of the day, if they feel so insecure they have to go on about how wonderful everything is, that is just a bit sad

I find teens are the worst, some of their updates are cringeworthy!

I can't defriend her as we are related!

so? even family can be tossers

If they are annoying, they get binned

*mutznutz

I had a shit this morning and forgot to update my FB status.*

the second is never as good, you missed your chance there :(

LOve it mutznutz! Maybe we should all put that...

I had a massive shitttt today

And it was good!

Mad isn't it?
Woshipping at the altar of this "perfection".

makes me laugh, as she is stunningly pretty - totally vacuous and dull - and has no opinions on anything other than dancing on feckin ice.

and surrounds herself with the frumpiest friends she can find - so she looks the nicest in the carefully staged photos !!!

I know I missed my chance...perhaps I should take a photo of the next one and tag all my friends and family in it

Ain't that the truth clevercloggs!

It is mire trouble to befriend her and anyway she can do what she likes - I'm just glad I don't think like her or leave my baby for weeks on end to go on hol!

Nonika

Just be glad you are not her - she obviously looks ridiculous but leave her to it and get your laughs from her updates!

Oh I like jumper as a name msklo..If I ever post here regularly enough I want that as my name..it shounds like "she's a sexy bitch I wanna jump'er..!!"

Seriously, Ive hidden her messages and deleted a few people but I get the relative thing. I have a 13 year old niece who keeps uploading pics of her and her friends in the jacks taking pics inthe mirror while doing duckface and my sister leaves messages saying "looking good hun" and Im like she is 13!!!!!!make her stop!!But if I didnt watch her page who would??

I have recently defrended 2 people who were getting on my tits!

Person 1 gave a day by day running commentary of her pregnancy, including bump pictures and measurements on a weekly basis, up to the minute news on baby movements and then about a squillion pictutes of her daughters nursery, including ALL the clothes she had bought her, the decor and the wardrobe!

Person 2 would update things like ' only 4 hours until hubby gets home so we can have snuggles' all the bloody time!

I dont have many FB friends, just people from my NCT group and my Special Needs group.

I've had enough of it all - I deleted myself rather than defriend people because I was scared they'd find out (not sure how that part works). I had old school acquaintances banging on at me to get in touch and reminisce about stuff that happened 25 years ago ffs. I was fed up of stupid messages about joining campaign groups, and friend requests from people I barely know/don't like and who I never thought liked me anyway. I'd like to be involved and witty and have a banter, but I haven't got time and I know I'd look back on my efforts and cringe.

So I disappeared, then I realised I couldn't read DP's page which is how I keep up with what's happening and look at pics he's posted of our DC (for friends only to see of course). So I re-registered with an anonymous name. I now have a fake name and only 1 friend, who is my own DP. I must be the saddest saddo on FB.

And the photos.....I mean, granted, I'm a bit of a technophobe, and add photos about twice a year, when I can be arsed with the faffing.....but some people on my FB literally add photos on a daily basis.

I said this last time there was a thread about it, but I reckon not even the child's doting grandparents want to see that many photos. It's like those delayed time flower opening films, so many shots.....

And the illness. (and I'm not talking about people who have real, proper illnesses here) but the hypochondria-attention-seeking stuff. It's never a cold, it's always flu...and for some reason people seem to have stopped going down to Boots for a packet of lemsip, it's always a "dash to A and E in the middle of the night". And we wonder why the NHS is on its knees.

Culling is good for the soul! And hiding is an easy way to not have to see the shit updates (not shit in your sense mutznutz )
I know two couples who play out their entire relationship on FB - from puky love messages on each other's wall, to overly sexy notes, to full-blown accounts of every argument and relationship issue. V odd

And the cryptic updates!

"X is so upset that just when life was going OK........"

Cue 437 people "what's up hunnnnnnnnn?"

I have a friend who in RL is lovely but on FB everything is prefaced or ended with "Praise Jah I am so blessed" - she went to Jamaica on holiday last year and seems to have decided Rastafarianism is now her thing (as opposed to the CofE she actually is) - and she never mentions Jah or her blessings in RL, so it leaves her looking a bit mental...

I know two couples who play out their entire relationship on FB - from puky love messages on each other's wall, to overly sexy notes, to full-blown accounts of every argument and relationship issue.

Oh god so do I...they do the same on public chat forums ffs. Quite where they find time to have the wonderful love life they claim to have is beyond me..they're never off their bloody computers for long enough

I've had a good cull this weekend. I can't stand the cryptic attention seeking updates of one friend in particular anymore. Also those constantly banging on about how wonderful life/family/friends are. Not sure who they ate trying to convince!

God yes! Having conversations with her bleedin "hubby" over FB when they're sat in the same freaking room !!!

WHAT ????

I have one on mine who has publicly displayed her separation every 5 minutes in November meeting a new man in december how much she loves him etc last week the straw that broke the camels back for me was her declaring that her little girls didnt need there daddy any more because they had a new daddy wtf the girl is a looper and needs help

Id glading give it to her in the form of a punch in the face
