OK I know this is a FB thing so I just shouldn't look but I'm a nosy cow. However there seems to be an increasing trend of people posting photos of bloody ridiculous things.

A hat. A glass of champagne. Cupcakes (grr). And my greatest bugbear - women taking pictures of theirs and their friends shoes in a circle on a night out. Jeez. Am IBU or is it just a small selection of my friends who do this?

If it annoys you, then defriend them. I have a range of people on my fb and they post according to their personalities and interests. To me, it's just a reminder of who they are.
One lovely person is obsessed with dogs and posts schmaltzy wofflings about them on most days.
My dislike for the majority of the species is a matter of record. It makes me smile, because I love my friend in spite of her odd tastes.
Likewise with the few younger people I have. They post a lot of silly photos, with an air of wonder and discovery. Grin

I love seeing other peoples random photos on FB. I do it too.

Some of us are awfully nosy Grin.

Yes, YABU. If a friend buys 10 Lindt bunnies for a fraction of the pre-easter price, I want to know about it. For research purposes.

I have had pics of things rather than of me since I joined fb way back!
Partly because I did'nt feel nice enough to post a pic...baby fat etc.

I chose childrens illutrations or vintage stuff which I like. YABU

Some people don't feel confident enough to show their gaping mush to the world.

I have me and the kids now that Ive dropped some of the heave-ho.

At worst facebook is a big boasting machine. At best its like a nice scap book of stuff you can have a little look at. Some friends are really into posting everything in their lives and its way too much but you dont have to look.

lol @ "women taking pictures of theirs and their friends shoes in a circle on a night out"

I used to do that.. When I was about 14!

FlaminGreatGallah · 06/05/2011 10:06

If me and my friends all had a full complement of shoes it wasn't a proper night out.

The pictures that baffle me are the ones of friends children out clubbing and they've taken about three hundred photographs. A good waste of valuable drinking dancing and socialising time. Still, if they put them on FB their mothers will know they've not been up to no good I suppose.

Interesting to see what people feel the need to post...One of my daughters friends posted a piccy of her newly pierced belly button (age 13) - bad enough to have a pierced belly button at any age, even worse to put a picture on...or is that just my age!
