To dislike attention-seeking "woe is me" facebook updates with no explanation

[frogspoon]

Facebook friend has recently posted this update:

"Today has been absolutely heartbreaking. Sulking, wine and zombie films are required."

Several friends have responded to the messages by asking what is wrong. She has not bothered to respond to any of them.

AIBU to think there is probably nothing wrong and she is just attention seeking as usual. Surely if something bad actually had happened, she would explain. She does have a habit of posting these messages often, usually the outcome being that her boyfriend has a cold/ has gone away for the weekend etc.

I couldn't be bothered with facebook for this reason. If a friend of mine was very low I'd expect them to ring me up and come round for a coffee. Not post a cryptic message on facebook which I wouldn't see anyway.

i use FB everyday. I never really see the kind of stuff everyone goes on about. all the woe is me or racist abusive posts, folk fighting online. Don't blame FB for having idiot friends.

My pet Fbook hates - attention seeking updates (like ones already been described here), people who post the Dalai Lama's/positive thinking blah vlah daily updates to everyone's newsfeed, posting stuff like 'Friends are like stars, you can't see them but you know they're always there' etc etc. But, also blow by blow accounts of their toddler's potty training. Thanks, I really want to know that in detail. Not.
Then there's the people (MIL, SIL who insist on sending you game requests when you clearly never play zombiewars/mafiawhatever/bejewelled blitz and have no intention of ever doing so. I just block em all ! (along with potty training mum's thrice daily updates).

YABNU. I bloody hate them. I saw one the other day (not a friend of mine but a friend of a friend) that said 'If only I could turn the clock back, but it's too late. It's done and it can't be undone. I am distraught' or some such nonsense. Cue a hundred messages of 'oh what is it hun? We all love you. I'm here for you if you need to talk.' etc, etc

I just thought 'Fuck off.' Either tell people properly or shut up.

Facebook is used for 3 types of status update:

1. Breaking news - I'm engaged/pregnant etc.
   
2. Boasting - Look at this photo of me doing something amazing with my amazing friends somewhere amazing!
   
3. Cryptic moaning - Just had the worst day/Why can't things ever go right for me?/Today calls for wine etc.
   
   YABU if you haven't worked that out yet

If it wasn't for Facebook how would you know what your friends were having for dinner or what they were watching on tv?
