Facebook

[carlajean]

AIBU to find it a bit when facebook 'friends', who live nearby, post stuff like 'having a great time with my friends having a barbeque/drinks etc'. Why would they post it, during the event, except to say 'up yours' to all the local fb friends who aren't there? Given that, maybe it's just that I'm feeling a bit of a no friends norman.

Because it makes you look horribly popular, and in demand, fun, and interesting etc etc etc.

YANBU, that is a horrible feeling xx

They might be doing it as a 'compliment' to the person whose house they're at.

Although not that much of a compliment if it's so dull they're on their computer.

And they're showing how rude they are being on the computer round someone elses house.

I'm sure half of what people post is made up anyway, and the other half I hope it is.

I don't know why people get their knickers
In a twist over fb

People can post
What they want within
Seconds using their phones on fb and MN!

I changed my surname on fb outside the church on my wedding day, didn't mean I wasn't thrilled or was bored at the time.

I don't know why people have fb if all they do is piss and moan about how other people use it.

If it isn't racist or offensive what does
It matter?

"I changed my name on fb outside the church on my wedding day."

How times have changed, 20 years ago this would have seemed unfathomable! Nobody would have had a clue what you were going on about.

For a nosey parker like me the Internet age is a good thing but it has ruined the mystery. 10 years ago I would sometimes wonder what the class bully had done with their life, now a peek on fb reveals that they have a daughter who goes to ballet, a feature wall in their living room and Friday nights are always spent at the local curry house. It's all a bit strange really.

I find it odd to have friends on FB who live nearby

My FB friends are people who live too far to visit regularly...so FB is a way of keeping in touch.

Either way, YABU to take it personally.

Er not quite - I guess you dont know that people can post to FB from their phone then?

hazie

I did it on an ivory phone I got to match my wedding dress

No lie

Hehe I'm not that fucking old duckdodgers

Computer/phone same thing these days, I didn't mean they'd lugged their PC/keyboard/mouse/USB powered desk fan into the party and sat Borglike all afternoon

Back in Zigzag's day, they just used smoke signals to let everyone know what a great time they were having

I always find that really funny. The event must be either really dull or the person posting must be borderline megolomaniac to actually spend time Facebooking while it's all going on. From a phone or not. I picture all the guests sitting round fiddling away on their phones while the sausages burn.

FFS - post about your enjoyment AFTER the event, not in the middle of it!

Facebook is crap if you're feeling low.
I could make m life sound a lot more interesting if I updated my status more, and put spin on my ordinary life I suppose, but it all seems a bit try hardy to me.

Overall though, I don't really mind what people post about, or from where. It's just spraff.

Those smoke signals were a GIANT FUCK YOU to the locals not invited. Not
Only were they totally
Snubbed but they couldn't do any washing
....
On the rocks in the local river...

I'm not as old as you though Worra

They're probably all fbing each other Harriet

I bet that's happened

That's the one Kayano

Ziggers I would type a witty comeback to you but right now I'm too busy updating my FB status about the fantastic sex I'm having with my DH.

So I'll have to get back to you

Lmfao

updates fb about how I am lmfao

You're so dull and rude Worra, he should leave you.

I find it annoying that some people have millions of profile pics that they change regularly and are posey or pouty.

I also find it annoying that a teacher friend of mine says the same thing all the time. Eg is it Friday yet? Its Friday wine o'clock and roll on half term/easter hols etc. Fucking teachers. Yes we know you have a shit load of holiday (I work in a school and am NOT term time only) but you do NOT work any harder than me. Just get through the week like normal people.

I also hate people who just "played a shite internet game" updates...

You're so dull and rude Worra, he should leave you

Just a couple more minutes please!

I need to tell my FB friends what a wonderful shag I am

That's what she said

i open;;y admit to doing this. It's because, for once in my pretty fucking boring life, I'm having abit of fun and want to share that with everyone. I don't really care what that makes me in the eyes of others tbh.

Quite right Autumn.

Yeah but can't you wait til you've actually experienced the fun before you tell everyone how much fun it was?

Or am I just being far too dull sensible here?
