Odd title I know!

But does anyone else have experiences of this? It does my head in. I'm on an online forum on facebook with a group of women and we all had babies at a similar time. There are about 40 of us on this group.

One of the group appears to be comfortably off and the group seems to revolve around her. If she's not there for a few days people are worrying about her and posting messages to see if she is ok. When she posts photos of her house on facebook everyone is falling over themselves to comment and bum lick. She posts photos of her kids and again everyone is doing the same, commenting about how wonderful their clothes are and how gorgeous they look. She might post a status saying they've been to the cinema or for a pizza and everyone will post about what exciting things they do and how wonderful her life and family is. When she goes on holiday the whole group is on tenterhooks wondering how she's getting on, with some members texting her to check she's arrived safely. She ordered a new washing machine and you'd think she'd ordered a £100,000 Ferrari from how some went on about it.

She is currently selling her house and she gets tagged daily on the Facebook group from groupies asking for an update about the house sale and where is she moving to and oh what a silly viewer the one yesterday was as surely they should snap up a house like hers as it's just so wonderful. It's all getting rather sickening.

I can't help feeling that if she lived in a council house, she and her husband were on the dole and dressed their kids from charity shops that she wouldn't get the amount of attention she does. By the way she seems a fairly nice person but also quite self absorbed. It seems like loads of the group members want to be her and live their life through her.

Agree with bibbitybobbitybunny - hate those phrases.

I think Facebook is the devil (and at c$38 a share - WTAF? In order to justify that ridiculous valuation ($104BILLION Shock), users will be bombarded with advertisements and charges applied to all features bar very basic usage).

Who are these people that post such mind-numbingly boring information like ordering new washing machine? And Op, why are you reading such drivel? Tis the devil I say!
