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.

I know what you mean Tinselrella!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't do facebook but I do occasionally live vicariously through DH's. His niece posts the passive agressive attention-seeking ones like "How can something so wonderful make you hurt so much?" bleugh! And always posting about how much she loves her DD rather than actually spending time with her and telling her in RL!

Looool @ houseofbamboo's fuckwit typing test :o

I also hate that so many people have a quote from Marilyn Monroe on their profile. It says something along the lines of "yes I can be hard work and moody but if you can 't handle me at my worst, you sure don't deserve me at my best".

Why do they all have this on their profile?

I hate that too!
I hate all the ones that say 'I am a bitch and if you cant cope with that - tough' (I paraphrase of course). WHY would you want to describe yourself as a spoilt, selfish madam?

I Liked the Passive Agressive Housewives page because they had some really funny stuff (pictures and photos) but I am getting rid of them now. Its all a bit hysterical and desperate and they keep putting photos up with 'retard' in the caption. They are always posting stuff like 'if I offend you please feel free to fuck off' etc. CBA with it anymore, they are not that funny.
I fully expect one of them to go over the edge at some point, the humour is a bit too brittle and eeek eeek eeek (makes stabbing motion).

I have a friend who writes things like "Thanks for all those who made the effort to come to my birthday drinks." Grrrr. She is also the one who announced the birth of my DD on facebook before I'd finished making the phone calls. Think now that I should have been more annoyed over that.

Oh the birth announcements! That makes my blood boil! My best friend was due 3 weeks before me and our mutual friends were announcing it on their status's. All the details, weight, time etc. I had to tell them all to reeeaaallly not do that to me (in the nicest possible way) because Id be annoyed, its our news to share.

Or when people go onto a wall and put 'congratulations!' and they've not announced it yet. Same goes for pregnancy news.

No it's the ones who post on peoples walls a simple ";-)" or similar followed by a big announcement by the person who's wall it is that do me in. It's like they love knowing something no one else knows and want everyone else to know that they know. Urgh. I just hate people.

I USED TO have someone on my FB who used to get her mum to join in with the PA posts aimed at her ex and those of us who couldn't make it to her wedding (because we were invited as an after thought to make up numbers after she'd pissed off half of her A list). Vile! She even started groups aimed at her ex or other mums at her daughters school etc.

and that woman is raising a new generation of women - sigh!

Oh I'm so happy to read this thread. The week before Christmas a woman I consider a close friend posted a status update about how 'when you're having a wobble it's nice to know who your lovely friends are' or something and listing a load of people. I wasn't on there. There were of course the inevitable 'you ok hun?' type comments underneath from others who'd clearly not made the grade either. I couldn't be arsed to play her needy games but because her Dad's been seriously ill and I care about that I had to ring her and ask if she's ok. Turned out it was about some minor squabble at a friend's birthday do the week before. She's always been needy but this level of attention seeking is new and frankly makes me respect her less and less, and I concluded I need to withdraw a bit. But I was feeling bad about this - now I've read all the other comments on here I feel quite justified, so thank you MN!

We had a falling out with a pita demanding (now ex) friend of mine. It was the straw that broke the camels back, she had been such a pita for years, kicking off when she didnt get her own way and then expecting everyone in our social circle to be nice as pie to her. she was the one that always wanted everyone to change their arrangments to suit her etc, you know the type.

Within an hour on her FB she had put something along the lines of "So sad to find that people you have trusted and loved would let you down"

Followed by "Its such a shame when friendships die because of selfishness" and DH, who had been there when she was ranting and had seen and heard her demanding behaviour posted "Aww thanks for caring but Bogeyface will get over it, she has other friends" :o:o

She blocked us and alot of other mutual friends after that for some reason :o, it was hilarious! Us blockees are all still friends but she has moved on to her next group of victims friends who we have heard are already getting sick of her diva-ish behaviour

Just comment on her recent status re "the friend cull for 2012" saying that's a good idea think I will follow your lead and do the same starting with attention seeking assholes and then delete her!

And as for people who post cryptically that idiotic and untrue phrase " what goes around comes around". Aaa argh

Someone announced DC4's birth/sex/name on FB before I did. If I didnt love her so much I would be really upset. I wish she hadnt done it though.

thats awful mrsdv ! bet you were so angry!

I HATE when I see people posting about births on people's walls before they have! WHY would you take from the persons BA phonecall round - it's a right of passage! plus if you know about the birth before it was posted on facebook then you were probably phoned or texted so congratulate back that way FFS!

You see, I have a FB friend who does all of this and really irritates me (and before you say, I can't really delete her as she would notice and we work together and I don't want to offend her). I have been playing with the idea of using the facebook button on the thread to "recommend" it on my facebook page. But I won't, because then I would be as bad as she is!

I was really taken aback because she is such a thoughtful person. She is much younger than me though and I think that makes a difference. People have grown up used to blurting everything out on the internet. She isnt a teenager though.

I suspect there was a little bit of oneupmanship involved.

Bimey! I have literally just deleted my FB account because of this!

Some people are just very very odd

This was the exact reason I deactivated my FakeBook ... I mean FaceBook account. All the passive-aggressive, attention seeking, bragging posts being posted. I have not missed it one iota :)
