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?

Oh and people sayig they deserve it well

WHAT ABOUT ME????????

Sorry!

I would be insulted if someone suggested I deserve a good holiday. I see myself as a Michael winner figure...

O sweet baby Jesus.

Just remember - you get the Facebook timeline you deserve.

fanks hilly babez

I always enjoy your food pics Eleanor so ner.

teenage...oh never mind

This is by no means the worst aspect of Facebook. At least people are posting actual stuff about their lives (and responding to other people's lives).

What makes me raging mad is all the bloody recirculated chain post crap that entirely clutters up my news feed at all times. Think for yourselves or at least exercise some judgement; don't just re-post not very interesting shit people have put on their pages/news feeds on yours, multiple times an hour. On very rare occassions something might be worth passing on, but every single 'funny' image you find is not.

damm sticking keyboard, cant spell

I haven't got FB so only have Ds1's to go on Aris. No animals on his.

For the same reason so many people wank on about Facebook I suppose. Like a dog returns to its vomit. The comfort of familiarity.

A good Motto For Life

Like a dog returns to its vomit - can I say that's really poetic Hun or will I be outed as a sycophant?

FB where i live its:

Gorguss and

I reely reely h8 it wen ppl dinae repli ti ma textes

Sycophancy - don't mind it. You pick the friends you want - you want sycophants, you'll find them eventually if you look hard enough.

Holiday snaps - fine. Photos of cakes - extra fine. Photos of cute pets - I can't get enough.

What's not fine is fucking pointless motivational bollocks quotes. Don't spout your cod-philosophy at me, you otherwise quite sane and pleasant-seeming FB friend. Keep your relentless perky optimism to yourself, thanks.

I LIKE FB

I have lots of friends and I like to see what they are doing. I have friends in Australia etc and I can see all their doings etc and it is very interesting. I get lots of interesting political stuff and lots of funny stuff.

The FB bit AS I SAID EARLIER is irrelevant, it is just the platform. It's the behaviour that interest me.

Do dogs return to their vomit? Mine doesn't.

No, mine leaves its vomit under cushions so I don't shout at her.

I miss Hully when she doesn't post.

Sorry , fucking football has driven me to red wine and sycophancy.

Some dogs, like some people on fb, are much more discerning than others.

I really am the ghost of Michael winner.

Re the behaviour - are the recipients of the sychophancy all prolific status-updaters with a million FB friends? It's the same sort of herd mentality whereby there's one girl in every school in the world who despite being not particularly exceptional is still Most Popular Girl, and everyone wants her to like them.

Yes hassled. Fucking motivational quotations. Bastards.

A family member is always posting a mixture of this crap and weird passive aggressive comments aimed (I think) at her ex. It makes her look unhinged.

My dog used to eat her own sick. She didn't do facebook though.
