To laugh at the PA Facebook updates

[PatheticTrumpet]

From "friends" on my FP page I would dearly like to delete but feel drawn to keep them so I can laugh at their PA updates! Its the CPA ones that get my palms itching for a whitty response - have to reach for the wine so as not to blow my cover!

What's PA and CPA?

Passive Aggressive

Cryptic Passive Aggressive

Such as - "3 weeks today and we shall see ..."

Ah I see. I hate the enigmatic ones such as "dreading tomorrow" and when asked what's happening tomorrow they say "can't say on here, pm me".

I have a friend who does this.
"why aren't people more honest?"
"ouch"
"Do what you need to do..."
WHAT?!
It's annoying.

Ooh, hate cryptic or passive aggressive FB statuses with a vengeance! Usually along the lines of "Wish a certain someone would stop being an arse - you know who you are."
Why not say to the person's face that you have a problem with them instead of attention seeking on FB?!
Oh and stupid updates like that leads to about 500 friends on FB instantly thinking you're talking about them, causing massive fall outs and repercussions.
Hide their newsfeeds, or delete the feckers for your own sanity!

Or "man up you w@@ker"

"seriously? How funny!"

"I can't wait till all this changes"

Such as - "3 weeks today and we shall see ...". What is aggressive about that?

Grr, those "dreading tomorrow" statuses annoy me too! "Why what's the matter, hun, hope you're OK?"
"Can't say on here, sorry."
Well why fecking post it in the first place then, you attention seeking muppet?!

"passive" aggressive - tis a difference I feel

Don't see how it is aggressive, passive or otherwise. Annoyingly cryptic definitely but not aggressive

Im not on facebook as i think its a load of you know what. And i also reckon i would get banned from ranting at irritating people like you are describing so thats why i stay clear. But i do find the threads on here about it funny!

Had one on mine today. Worst thing ever happened today, OMG it was soo horrible I can't get the image out of my mind.

Her friend predictably replied, what happened? Reply: Don't want to say on here, OMG it was terrible.

I have a friend who does this ... n thy r n txt spk 2!

"Sad whn we usd 2 b frends" is one recent example.

Does it ever work to post something equally PA back?
"dreading tomorrow" ... "yeah, I would too mate"

kitty:Such as - "3 weeks today and we shall see ...". What is aggressive about that?
"We shall see..." is quite a passively aggressive/narky way of speaking. Expression on person's face whilst typing this is almost certainly a cat bum mouth.

Oh ok. I just don't see it like that. I read the end of the sentence as "...if I'm pregnant" or "if my wine has worked" or "if I got the job".

YANBU

Can't stand updates like "X can't wait to see her real friends, you know who you are". It's a veiled insult to those who don't "know who they are" and have no clue why they're not one of the chosen few

kitty I'm cynical! :o
"Three weeks today and we shall see...you'll get your payback... grrr"
Or something err... equally menacing :o :o

I also hate the ones which they "Can't say. Will text/PM you". What was the fecking point in posting about it then if you can't say?

Exactly why I deactivated my account weeks ago, and haven't missed it a jot.

My DM is terrible for this. I keep telling her it's stupid, but she 'likes to be mysterious'

How about:

'So unhappy today...'

Pure attention seeking.

Ooh Blimey! Two kittys, two opinions, mo waiting. Or is that kitties...?

That's very funny deepfriedcupcake, good idea :o
