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 feel the same .. I rarely post on fb.. What really annoys me is when people exclaim Ahhhhhh! and that it! Like everyone is supposed to jump to attention and ask why, whats up etc. Also really irks me when people wish their spouses happy birthday! I just say it to him in person!

Attention seeking posts get on my tits.

joanofarchitrave · 20/05/2012 21:43

I quite like the mundane ones. To me that's the USB of FB, you find out some of the ordinary stuff in people's lives, the stuff they would never phone you about.

QOD · 20/05/2012 21:47

The most horrific day ever. Can't stop crying

Things like that really get on my tits! I refuse to ask.

Francagoestohollywood · 20/05/2012 21:47

Grin Pombear!
To be honest Op, i think that's the nature of fb. But then, most of my friends never ever write on it!

usualsuspect · 20/05/2012 21:48

The whole point of FB is to attention seek

TherapeuticVino · 20/05/2012 21:49

The ones that make me laugh are the holiday ones.

"Just landed in XXX"
"laying on the beach in XXX "
"Having an AMAZING holiday in xxx"
"here's a photo of my dinner in XXX"

Really???? You're having such a brilliant time you're interrupting it to post this drivel on Facebook???

BibiBelle · 20/05/2012 21:50

This is why BLOCK HIDE BLOCK is your friend. I'm considering deleting my cousin who is the ONLY fecking pregnant person in the world. thank god she's not got long to go!

usualsuspect · 20/05/2012 21:50

If someone on my FB was upset I would ask why , but then I only have people I like on my FB not any old random

Mrsjay · 20/05/2012 21:51

I dont mind the mundane but my mundane was boring me shitless Hmm Fb is for sharing and sometimes there is over sharing , i dont understand people who argue over facebook its really Embarassing ,

BibiBelle · 20/05/2012 21:51

I think we should ALL post 'attention seeking posts really get on my tits' together at the same time and see how we get on Grin

toomuchmonthatendofthemoney · 20/05/2012 21:51

vino am always tempted to post below the boasty holiday ones
"just burgled your house, check"

Francagoestohollywood · 20/05/2012 21:52

I agree Usual

numbum · 20/05/2012 21:53

I've got one of those 'new mums who is the first person in the world to ever have had a baby' on mine. I think deletion is necessary!

pumpkinsweetie · 20/05/2012 21:55

I actually quite enjoy having a nosey on facebook to see what people are up to but tbh some 'friends' moan about everything and one in particular just seems to write doom & gloom and not write anything happy unless of course he is going abroad which is the only time theres anything happy in his statuses, i dont mind the odd bit of doom and gloom as we cant all be happy all of the time but i just wish some people on there would not moan about everything from their shoes to the weather- seriously considering deleting those said people.
Sometimes though 'friends' can write some seriously funny crap that can keep me laughing for ages and its truely a tonic.
I guess if you really don't wanna know about peoples lifes dont go on there

Tangointhenight · 20/05/2012 21:59

What about 'wishing my baby a happy first birthday, I love you so much sweetie have a wonderful day love mummy and daddy xxxxxx'
Honestly your 1yo can read AND has access to FB? Amazing.

Alliwantisaroomsomewhere · 20/05/2012 21:59

Does make me laugh when people go on about what a FAB time they are having and it is SO good that they have to go online to announce it!

One fb "friend" of mine moaned on her status that she had started her period on the day that her and her DH were due to go away for the weekend. Ew! TMI there, love!

NicholasTeakozy · 20/05/2012 22:00

My favourite FB staus was a haiku.

Kermit and Hetfield
Eat Bolognese together
Pasta of Muppets.

usualsuspect · 20/05/2012 22:00

You all sound like lovely FB friends

DulcetMoans · 20/05/2012 22:02

If it's about a disney character then it defo is! haha!

Mrsjay · 20/05/2012 22:03

arggghh no @ period anouncementon facebook Blush

Tangointhenight · 20/05/2012 22:03

Usual I am...only when its not the same ridiculous mundane crap! I love announcements, photos of babies and weddings etc, just can't be arsed with 'I'm so ill again' posts!

TallyMeBanana · 20/05/2012 22:05

I do love the public arguements between people I know though. I love to judge them secretly.

What I can't stand is when they have arguements openly on fb with their OH's, especially when they live in the same fucking house.

BonnieBumble · 20/05/2012 22:07

People use fb for different reasons. I don't mind reading statuses about mundane stuff. My fb friends often post about boring stuff like cooking and cleaning, I like it. I like to picture people having pub lunches and ferrying their children to ballet/football. It's nice. You lot are miserable. Wink

Alliwantisaroomsomewhere · 20/05/2012 22:09

Usualsuspect, you sound so self righteous.
