Couples facebooking when they're in the same house - oh come on!

[Bennifer]

Anyone else find this irritating. Couples who post their status for the other person to comment on it, and so on, when they're in the same house. Why do it? AIBU?

I don't do FB status updates - ime there's usually an inverse relationship between the quantity and quality of people's updates so I play safe by not doing them at all!

YABU. Each to their own.

I messaged my bloke last night on facebook.

He was upsairs missing something funny on the telly (the young bloke on that Dave stand-up show) and I was downstairs reluctant to move, could reach the laptop but not my phone. Shouting is inaffective because of the shape of our house.

I don't make a habit of it though!!

yabu I fb message ds when I can't be arsed to go upstairs or shout to him

But messaging / chat is private, isn't it, so that makes sense?

It doesn't bother me me but I feel quite sad when a couple of my mates do it, purely because some row on fb and try to draw others into it, and in the case of one couple who i know very well they are very obviously just being so lovey dovey to convince themselves by convincing others.

For those who overshare, majorly. There used to be STFU married but it got closed down. There's a few of them.

I came to this post from a link on fb

when DH comments on one of my Fb comments, it's the only time he 'talks' to me

@johnworf: Really? Doesn't sound a happy situation for you, i'm sorry :( Shame you can't FB 'boot them' rather than just poke then.

YABU - DH is my best friend as it happens and if we want to piss about on facebook we will so ner.

oh we do this occasionally. mostly because dp's computer is out in the shed, and he can't hear me if I shout and I am too lazy to get up.

i mean, if i just want to say "make me tea" then i would IM him, not post it on FB. but we do occasionally comment on each others statuses

YANBU. Very odd behaviour for a couple to do this - I hate it when my DH posts on mine, even when we're both at work and not in the same house. I have friends who pass the lap top back and forth to each other to log on and comment on each other's posts. It usually makes embarrassing reading.

YANBU. That's why DD3 says she doesn't want to be friends on Facebook with either me or DH. She says there's no point ad we're in the same house. Although she has been known to chat to DD2 on Facebook when she's home.

What gets my goat is this 'Mr twat and Mrs twat' are at sofa.How fucking boring is that.Who gives two shits

Several of my colleauges do this.

xxx is lookin frwrds to a meal out wif her gorgeous hubby tonite!
Me too, love u baby
I love u too honey

Blergh.

DONT! JUST DONT!

This thing really, really irritates me but worse is when they text each other and they are in the same fucking room!

Thinking about it, eXP got a right face on when I refused to add him as a friend on facebook.

He was getting really paranoid that I was talking to other men on there. The fact that I told him I'm not adding him as he is in the same house, more often than not, in the same sodding room, and B) I cant be arsed talking to HIM half of the time, never mind other men. That shut him up .

My cousin (before I removed her) would post things like "has the most amazing man, he's just done the washing up, thank u babe I love you". Clearly he's in the house just go and TELL him! We really don't care! Major attention seeking status updates piss me off anyway - someone on my fb recently had very minor surgery and you'd think they'd amputated the lower half of her body the way she's been carrying on! Its got to the stage where none of her friends are now responding to these updates

I have friends on FB like that. They're in a long distance relationship so I can almost understand it, but then they started bringing their arguments on FB as well. Something like:

X is really really sad : (
Sorry baby I never meant to do/say x. I promise I'll love you forever and ever xxx
You really hurt me : (
I know babe and I'm sorry xxx love you xxx
Love you too xxx

5 seconds later:
X has the bestest boyfriend in the whole world! Love you babe xxx

They're hidden now.

It is crazy isn't it

I just text a link to this thread to my husband so that we can laugh about the madness

He is sat on the other sofa

I think FB is immature full stop.

Why is it annoying if others are happy about something?

We do it all the time.... DP posted something about Piers Morgan once (he can't stand him) so I liked a Piers Morgan appreciation page and posted a comment too, just to see DP's reaction.

DN is far worse...wears her heart on her sleeve with new BF and I get a daily lovey dovey update on what they did today. They've only being going out two months. Even he has posted that her posts would make single people barf.
