to think people on FACEBOOK are raving lying sycophants?

[Hullygully]

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?

Not again. Same thread yesterday

I think there are more raving lying sycophants on here than on FB but as the people on here are strangers to me I couldn't give a fuck.

Seeing people who I actually know who barely speak to each other in RL and have ne'er a good word for each other posting vomit inducing comments on each others photos on FB is rather annoying.

OH I'M SO SORRY BEAVER AND SO GRATEFUL YOU TOOK THE TROUBLE TO POST AND TELL ME

Hully - because some people are stupid.

It really is that simple.

Are you being sycophantic. MaryZ ? thank fuck for spell check

That is a good point TV. I can see that (a bit)

It's soo preferable to the old way of doing it though, when you went round to someone's house (like your siblings, or your PILs or friends) and were given hard copies of their holiday photos, normally 3-4 films worth (or worse, a slide show!), and you were expected to look at them all and ooh and ahh and say how nice it looked, hear all about the hotel, what they saw, who they met etc. It was a given that you'd say things like how they deserved/needed a break, how fantastic it looks, what a nice photo of bob that is...

Now, they are put on facebook, you can look at the first one or two, or ignore all together, then just stick a comment on the whole album (or just like if you're feeling really lazy) that says basically the same thing. Thus meaning when you do go for a drink with them, you aren't going to be expected to look at the photos one. by. one.

Yay to facebook!

You need to look at 13 year old girls Facebook.

'Gawjuss pic you are so pwerty'

Millions of awful pictures, selfies in filthy mirrors with piles of clutter in the background, complete with pouty duck face. All commenting on each other's looks.

I am here because we got rid of our TV here so we could Shag more have intellectual conversations .

In reality we are now all staring at various smaller screens and I am posting random shite photos onto FB. No one has told me that I deserve my holiday though.

Actually you are right, posting on FB is different because of the audience.

It's telling the world "look everyone I am so caring and I luff my friend big time"

Or, y'know, it's just idle chit chat between friends.

I post telling my friends when their kids look especially cute in photos. I don't when they don't. Nowt more sinister to it.

But you could just tick "like" or sa, "looks good" or whatever. It's the way they outdo each other with the "love you miss yous, you deserve it babezzzzz" I question.

We all want to feel we matter. Some of us are more resilient than others.
Why do you have these types of people on your Facebook? Is it to mock them?

YANBU I just had 21 days of Egypt, beach shots, hotel shots, food shots, sky shots, book shots, shots of shots!

fuck off and get on your holiday and off your phone you person with more money than me

YOU DESERVE IT ARISBOTTLE BABEZZZZZZZZZ

LUV YA

I really think you need new FB friends

I'm avoiding bumsex in the sauna Maryz. I've no idea who might be lurking in the bushes.

Recently, a facebooker of mine announced the arrival of their new puppy. All the normal friends and family posted a variety of squeee! Photos!!! The three bitchiest women I know all posted. "Aaaaaaw, Hun you really deserve it as your family's so beautiful and you are so fab, you've earnt this"

FFS. She purchased a fucking dog. But you'd think she was on the New Years Honours list.

why doses bother you if your friends are having a good time, I love facebook but only have real friend on it, people I either see in this country or family an friends abroad, if you don't like it don't look am so bored of facebook threads on ere.

I made a really epic onion soup with cheese earlier. I nearly put a picture on FB. In fact I might do it now and tag you in, Hulls.

It was gawjuss, hun.

But I am not 13 Nd therefore my FB page is to full of duck face photos inviting self love comments.

It tends to be full of pictures of my chickens, ponies, children, dogs and garden - in that order.

yes Spero

I live to mock strangers.

No, they just turn up on the stuff of the friend that posts the pics, I have no idea why. The ways of fb are arcane and wondrous to me.

I like to think that my 40 friends on FB are genuine in their comments.
