Further to the nauseating FB statuses.... sorry... Grin

I have a few friends who constantly post about cleaning their houses, things like 'house smells of bleach now I've done all the downstairs' or 'Must get this house sorted' then 8 hours later 'almost finished' Confused

So, AIBU to wonder if actually these people have minging houses and post on FB to create the impression they are always cleaning? Do people really spend 8 hours cleaning their houses in one day and if they do, mustn't they be minging to start with?!

Looks around at toys strewn everywhere by kids and very large pile of washing and wonders if maybe I'm just jealous of their cleaning motivation....

I think it depends who it is doing the posting. Maybe most of us just have too many almost-randoms on our friends lists and their more mundane posts subsequently irritate the shit out of us because we just don't give a toss.

I find that certain friends can post absolutely anything and I'm happy to know/read all about it because its them and I'm therefore automatically both interested and tolerant

Just sounds to me like they're procrastinating, when they really should be cleaning the house.

Why in the name of God is it a good thing to have your house smelling of bleach?Weirdos.

Sorry, but why is a status update on FB necessarily true?

I am not on FB. I certainly do not want to let anybody know what I am doing on a minute by fucking minute basis nutters

I hate the stupid cryptic ones. Really not looking forward to Friday, things like that.
Mine are more like Wheres the bloody ice cream scooper I need ice cream!
Or I hate Dh, he did....... insert whatever annoying thing you like Grin
I have one friend who I love reading, she is so funny. Her updates get comments up to 50 on a good day and I roll about laughing in tears. We also make up silly games, and play name that tune on her page.
