to find passive aggressive facebook statuses very annoying?

[HexagonalQueenOfTheSummer]

Someone on my friends list keeps doing very passive aggressive statuses. She normally uses Facebook as Brag Book, every status is about what they've got or bought, but at the moment she clearly has a bee in her bonnet about something. She is putting things like "I know who my real friends are" and "New Year's resolution is to ditch anyone that isn't a true friend", and various other things.

I just don't understand the mentality behind that kind of thing. It just makes everyone on your friends' list paranoid and makes you look childish IMO.

There was this one yesterday ''Thinks some people should watch what comes out of theirs mouths - beginning to get fed up with all the little digs on here!!! One can only bite ones tongue for so long and I've nearly eaten mine gggrrrr''

Cue lots of people asking what's wrong etc and she NEVER replied. She does it all the time and it really gets on my wick.

What's the point.

I do like a good name and shame on there though, I have a friend when someone pisses her off she tags them in her status, How on earth she has any friends left I'll never know!!

Hahahaha MrsSleepy, that sounds like it could be a fun type of status to see!!

Carpe diem and defriend her first. And certainly don't write a fawning Hun post [boak]. That's what she's after

Do we have the same friend OP? I had one friend (43) who wrote some very passive-aggressive stuff I knew was aimed at me. Tbh it just made me laugh. The woman out me through hell and was now wanting sympathy. It does annoy me, I particularly hate it when people have arguments, it's a bit embarrassing but ridiculously compelling.

I like it when someone puts them statuses up and the person who it's aimed at comments!! Then poof the status goes!!!

I have one of these attention-seekers added. Former work colleague; endless string of updates about 'knowing who her real friends are', sniping at her boyfriend, 'meaningful' song lyrics.

I've hidden her.

I have a 43 year old Facebook 'friend' who does that too

I hate the "today is ingrowing toenail memorial day. Only 2% of people care enough to repost this as their status. If you care enough repost for one hour. I know my real friends are in the 2%" variety.

Really winds me up.

Although not as much as a friend that checked in from a crematorium last week. Not the first thing I think of doing when I go to a funeral.

Agreed! Equally annoying are status that read things like "OMG worst day ever!" and then never go on to explain why!

It's attention seeking.

Can be quite funny at times though.

I know a couple who seem to communicate with each other purely through FB - they're married and they're in the same house. It totally cracks me up. I have suggested to DH that if he says 'what' once more that's what we'll be doing. They also spend 99% of their time photographing their child and posting pics of how cute he is doing everything. Doubt the kid knows what they look like without a camera in the way!

What makes me thing 'why?' is when some says "[tags persons name] are yoi around?"

Why not PM them/write on their wall?

Why do it in a status? Because when They reply the person whos status it is always follows it with "I'll PM you."

Erm..?

Theres one particular culprit in my fb friends literally updating fb 10+ times a day. Most of them are painful to read.

My ex-husband's other ex (after me) writes these really long and cringeworthy posts moaning about him and saying what a t**r he is. It's all true to be fair but it just makes her look like an idiot I just want to grab he by the shoulders and shake her and tell her that the best way to let someone know that you are over them is to ignore them. I'm convinced that she actually wants him back. They've been split up over a year!!

This is why I have my "numpty fuck" list in fb. Not only does it block their messages, but periodically means I can post this for them to see...

"this passive aggressive status is directed at you, you numpty fuck"

The best bit is that almost all of them to a fault "like" it and lol.

Just realised that probably sounds really harsh.

Hey ho!

I have s friend on fb who is constantly falling out with people due to done of her statuses, it makes good reading though

My least favourite FB statuses:
a) the teasers - "how can one person hurt so much:(" (just asking for lots of, "what's up hun??")
b) the chain letter posters - "by keeping your status as this for one hour you will raise awareness of x disease" (no you won't, no one will change their opinions/feelings/give to charity because of your status update)
c) the braggers - "Just done a 10 mile run, fed the kids, cleaned the house top to bottom, saved the world economy and it's only 9.30am" (what do you want, a bloody medal?)
d) the chefs - posting a picture (or worse, the cooking stages as well) of their amazing dinner that they have just made, fine if you are looking to start a catering business but are you just looking for appreciation or trying to make the res of us feel inadequate?

housemum, I am so with you on all those, especially the "chefs". I get so many FB friends posting photos of cakes, and muffins, and homemade soups, it really annoys me. Also people that keep sewing things and putting the photos on there. It's just boring.

Yes! The photos of food! WHY?!

My friend takes photos of her McMuffins, why?!

Someone on my friends list is always doing Weightwatchers or slimmingworld, or any other diets that she comes across, then we get treated to a blow by blow daily diary of everything she eats. "Yummy. Homemade slimming world chips and fried eggs for lunch. Zero syns!"

I have used my FB to wish happy birthday to my dog today. That is what it is for.

I am very hurt that not many people have 'liked' my status or wished him a happy birthday too. I might need to update my status with something PA later regarding this unhappy circumstance

My friend who talks about how happy she is does comment nicely on other's photos and stuff. She is proper happy and greatful. Bless her.

I hate that 'we gave up haircuts for a scraped back ponytails, manicures for finger paint, eye shadow for dark circles under our eyes becuase we are mommies' crap. I bloody didnt.

I have a person on my list who is sweet but a proper mug.
SHE has a person on her list who spent a good year moving in on mug's husband and they are now in bliss while mug lives in a two bedroom flat with her five kids.

They often comment on each others posts. You get the weird situation of seeing mug's photo and just above dogfacefromhell's photo wrapped round mug's husband.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Happy Birthday to your dog, MrsDevere! And OMG at Mug! That's unbelievable!

What makes me laugh too on FB is people that never comment on my things yet if I post an important status, for example when I had my DS, these people come out of the woodwork to comment. It's as if they read all the time but never comment.

Oh god, the 'we gave up haircuts for a scraped back ponytails, manicures for finger paint, eye shadow for dark circles under our eyes becuase we are mommies' status is annoying.

I want to type a very long, long, loooooong rant on it, but I won't, because everyone would think I was mad.

Grown adults who use facebook statuses as a way to air their personal lives are tedious sadcases. They should only ever be vague, non-committal, upbeat jolly things designed to entertain or inform in the most inoffensive way.

Anyone who needs to actually emotionally project via an FB status needs to grow up.
