Reaaly? Am i interested in the fact that someone has cleaned their house today, is exasperated that little darling has trodden poo thro the house or has got soaked to the skin on the way back from school?

Ok - so I sound ire a very little bit but honestly draw the line at Ohhhh i farted like a good un today ....... Today I shall wear pink ...... Oh god help me, roll on school on Monday.

Rant over - if anyone can decipher this then bring it on (lol).

I am currently and sadly winding up my teenage FB friends (most of who are my pfbs friends) by treating their angsty song lyric statuses (statii?) as if they are serious statements and replying at length with reams of useful advice and helpful suggestions Grin
It's sad and childish but oh so much fun, especially when they aren't quite sure if I'm taking the piss or not Grin

WorraLiberty · 20/05/2012 21:06

I think you need a new list of friends to be honest.

Things like that drive me bonkers.

My cousin does this ' having a nice dinner and curling up to watch BGT', WHO EFFING GIVES A RATS ASS???!!!!!

Sometimes I find myself doing it and ban FB for a few days!

MollyMission · 20/05/2012 21:16

Boring beyond words. Seriously - for instance , today:

  • thought I would wash my hair
  • cant wait till the kids go back to school
  • am pissed off my DP farted in the sane room as me

Should add that none of those are MY statuses

Pombear I love that idea! I have some friends emo teenager kids on mine that totally deserve that.

My new favourite one to hate is someone that will tell the world she what's shes been up to in far to much detail, moan, say she is leaving facebook for good but then end EVERY status with how much she loves her 'boys'. Seriously, every. status.

I'm not claiming mine are the most interesting things in the world but at least they are varied, and infrequent! 10 times a day - NO!

usualsuspect · 20/05/2012 21:18

Lets see one of your intelligent witty statuses then OP?

McHappyPants2012 · 20/05/2012 21:19

my statues are really boring :( but i have a boring life

MollyMission · 20/05/2012 21:20

Ok - game on - let me delve into Facebook and report back

I see posts about the very same issues dotted around MN, in various topics.

Don't like it? Get off FB. (And possibly MN if you object to the subject matter).

cheekycurls · 20/05/2012 21:23

DulcetMoans, I think we have the same mutual friend, and she can't spell for shit! Shock

Mrsjay · 20/05/2012 21:24

I havnt posted a status on fb all week because i was posting thinks like ooo whats for tea , or ach its raining , i was pissing myself off Grin I guess people can write what they want on their FB but god its mundane sometimes

MollyMission · 20/05/2012 21:24

No ! I couldn't get off MN - you are so diverse and interesting - you keep it real !

I just don't want to know every time a FB friend flosses their teeth!

Oh and plus love the anonymity of NN until someone in my RL tumbles me

Unfortunately I accepted a friend request from my DS' friend' mum and she is very prolific and utterly annoying with her pathetic status updates on FB. E.g:

  • three bathrooms cleaned: check
  • kids in bed, wine in the fridge, curry on its way
-arghhhh I'm so tired!

Etc...
I hate the woman! Angry

Tangointhenight · 20/05/2012 21:25

If you're doing something exciting or nice then fair enough, or if its witty!

But 'watching tv then bed for me' is neither interesting or witty!

OP YANBU

McHappyPants2012 · 20/05/2012 21:25

Also it my page and i will put the hell i want on my timeline.

people can ither unfriend me or hide me :)

TallyMeBanana · 20/05/2012 21:27

I was talking about this today.

A family member documents EVERYTHING on fb. I mean EVERYTHING!

For example

Just stubbed my toe....ouchy!
My tooth hurts....
Yay I'm fertile.....
My boobs are sore today....

Now she's pregnant its become even more unbearable.

We share the same unusual surname so everyone knows we're related.

She makes me feel stabby!

DulcetMoans · 20/05/2012 21:27

cheekycurls God, how embarressing would that be?! Sound off about someone that annoys me on FB and you know her too.

Tangointhenight · 20/05/2012 21:27

And people with no kids going in about how tired they are piss me off...oh gawd no you have only had 8 hours sleep, how awful!! I know I'm BU about that but into my third week if teething and no sleep its a bit of a slap in the face when people complain about being sooo tired even though they've had a good nights sleep.

And yes I was guilty of it too :o

NinthWave · 20/05/2012 21:32

HIDE HIDE HIDE

They'll never know, and you won't have to read their guff. I do a LOT of hiding.

Mrsjay · 20/05/2012 21:34

I hide a lot Its keeps me sane

Ambi · 20/05/2012 21:35

I have the cryptic aggresive ones who are clearly pissed off at someone but won't take it up them, more than one on my list.

  • Why does he have to be such a prick?
  • Feeling so shit, I'm so fed up of it all- you know who you are.
  • I know you're the one spreading shit.

So it sounds like they have an issue with all their FB friends.

cheekycurls · 20/05/2012 21:37

not embarrassing at all, I can't stand her and have hidden her on fb as I just can't see another one of her statues ever again!

I should copy her latest statue to test if it's the same person

PomBearWithAnOFRS · 20/05/2012 21:39

My triumph this week (stolen from a Tshirt site) was "real Goths don't wear black. They sack Rome" Grin

AllYoursBabooshka · 20/05/2012 21:41
Shock

Do people really announce their flatulence on FB?
