There ive said it, i know im not alone but i hate Facebook!! I run my own business and have a business page on there which i need but as for my personal one i culled so many people last year it felt so good doing it now im down to people i only see in real life instead of the girl i sat by once in 4th year juniors.

I still log onto the business one every week and am sooooo sick of seeing how big some girls baby is inside of her, i think the pictures look disgusting and who really cares apart from the person who is pregnant, the family and her friends. I just don't understand why people put that up there, certainly look at it but why cant some things be kept private between yourselves and not forced on everyone else. But i usually see about 8-10 per week when i log on to see if orders have been placed for that week, so its hide hide hide all the way!

While i'm on the subject you know what else i hate, when couples have a conversation over facebook, my uncle and aunt used to do this before i hid them,now i no longer have to read whose turn it is to do the dishes, hoovering etc... I sometimes wish it had never been invented!

YABU. I'm one of those pregnant women you detest so much! Given that a lot of my friends and family live on the other side of the world, facebook is a perfect way for them to keep up with my pregnancy and see scan pics they may not otherwise see. I don't care if there are a few miserly people on my friends list who don't like it...delete me or hide me or get off facebook!

Perhaps facebook really isn't for you?

"Im sorry, I obviously hit a nerve with all the facebook addicts out there !"

Hmm

I am about as far from a Facebook addict as you can get. I only have an account to monitor my children's use.

I have a pregnant friend. Every status is 'bump' related. I now know when her hospital appointments are, which foods activate her morning sickness, what she has bought for the 'bump'...(zzzz)

TBH, sometimes those pictures catch you totally of guard, and before you know it you're looking at a big belly with a million stretch marks running across it. Yuck!!! YANBU.

if you only log onto your business page then how on earth do you see what this person is writging??

it makes no sense at all.

DingDongMerrilyOutOfSeason · 25/07/2011 22:49

SOH Absolutely detest? Until fb is stealing into your house in the night and shitting on your best rug, I think you're getting a wee bit excited.

I love you.

Serenitysutton · 25/07/2011 22:51

Do you mean scan pics? I think they're weird too, like Posting an xray or something

toptramp · 25/07/2011 23:28

Facebook can be annoying. I have an account but I am actively avoiding it as it is maddening.

toptramp · 25/07/2011 23:29

I also don't have many facebook friends and half of them I don't even like/speak to/know very well.
