I have a friend who posts "Here I am on my lovely holiday with my lovely family in my lovely hotel" with pics

and then 20 people go "Oh how lovely babezzz, you deserve it, enjoy" and "love your pics, love you miss you" etc

and I think they are sycophantic lying shitbags and my dc think they are a bit odd but I am a horrible misery.

I'm not, am I?

And they don't "deserve" it, they are very fortunate to have a nice life etc etc and good for them, but what is with the "you deserve it love you" shite?

Facebook is essentially a great way to keep up with friends allied to a fantastic pissing competition.

Love it myself.

BOF · 29/05/2013 20:39

Yes, you're right. Every single person on Facebook is exactly like that. Close it down, I say.

Arisbottle · 29/05/2013 20:40

The " you deserve it" stuff is shite.

I have a nice life, just got lucky don't really deserve it anymore than anyone else.

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 29/05/2013 20:41

I find much more boasting, shit and oneupmanship on here than on FB.

Mainly because I can control who is on my FB food, any Tom, Dick or Henrietta can post on here.

YES eupha, like that.

WHY?

Are they insecure and desperately needy?

God yes, exactly. Burn down zuckerburgs house and then sow the ground with salt. Because of course it's Facebook that makes people utter wankers. No other explanation makes sense because sycophancy was alien to the human race before the Internet was invented.

Arisbottle · 29/05/2013 20:43

OK, Altkin, everyone bar me deserves a holiday.

HoneyDragon · 29/05/2013 20:43

Are the lying sycophants the holidayers, or the repliers who are happy that the holidayers are on holiday?

And

Hully. Would you like a holiday, by chance?

Sparklingbrook · 29/05/2013 20:44

I think this thread may go pear shaped Hun. You will be accused of jealousy and not having the right sort of friends on FB. Sad

usualsuspect · 29/05/2013 20:45

You sound Wel Jel to me.

VinegarDrinker · 29/05/2013 20:45

Totally what Arisbottle said, this place is WAY worse. FB entirely depends on who you choose to have on your feed.

Spero · 29/05/2013 20:45

God forbid anyone point out the idiocy of blaming the Internet for humans being often a bit shit.

HoneyDragon · 29/05/2013 20:46

I'm on holiday right now. But my Hully klaxon went off and I dropped EVERYTHING, to come here.

Hullygully · 29/05/2013 20:46

I have loads of holidays. I have a gilded life like Liberace without the slightly deranged bits

No, it's WHY they sycophant with NO IRONY that baffles me.

And th eholiday poster knows quite well what she does etc

I have never seen a single hun or babe on FB, in the many years I've been on there.

Seriously, defriend or hide them.
