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?

Teenagers: like for likes! only doing the first ten.

Shit, better hurry up then.

I think you are right hassled. And she knows and is half amused by it...

They are repeating the script. There's a script you see.

You are allowed to improvise as long as you include the key words.
Gawjuz / hun / babez / amazingggg / love you millyonzz etc

We live in the era of the perpetual attention seeker. They've always been there, FB just provides a platform for it. Get with it Grandma.

To those who say well don't go on FB, get better friends, it's not compulsory - I want to go on, see this shit then bitch and moan. I like it.

Eleanor - soup pic please Smile

your facebook friends are YOUR facebook friends - you've chosen them. if they're sycophantic liers then that is your choice.

MY facebook friends do not post like that.

Hullygully · 29/05/2013 21:21

That's it, isn't it?

It's all so visible now.

Mme Defarge said a similar thing about MN. You know these people exist in theory, but you never come across them...and then

you do

Haha. It's motivational / chain shit or social isolation. What a choice!

Hullygully · 29/05/2013 21:22

oh badguider

I can only aspire to the giddy heights you occupy

my sister had a dog who ate it's own poo (which I think is quite a good idea actually, for dogs)

BOF · 29/05/2013 21:23

I'd like to see Richard Madeley in a nutshell. A teeny tiny Richard Madeley squeaking "Let me ooooooouuuuut! I thought I'd paid for that wine, honest!"

I think Simon Cowell is turning into Michael Winner. I reall, really do.

My dog dislikes FB and her vomit. She likes the children's vomit though.

usualsuspect · 29/05/2013 21:25

All dogs should be trained to eat their own shit, Corny.

cornypedicure · 29/05/2013 21:26

I think so as well usual.
Imagine how clean the pavements would be.

bottleofbeer · 29/05/2013 21:27

That made me snort! I think Dickie is a thoroughly nice chap, I admit seeing him in a nutshell would be proper funny though!

HoneyDragon · 29/05/2013 21:27

Why just dogs? Why not cats?

I am fucking sick of the cats the visits my doorstep to puke up its kibble, then fuck off.

Pagwatch · 29/05/2013 21:27

I post about my fucking lovely holidays because I am fucking lovely and I deserve it. [fact]

usualsuspect · 29/05/2013 21:28

At least half of AIBU would disappear as well as the dogshit.

Hullygully · 29/05/2013 21:28

Poor Richard. Still, he has been steadfast with poor puffy Judy. Fair play.

if only dogs could be trained to direct people carriers into one single space and then AIBU would be no more

Pagwatch · 29/05/2013 21:29

My dog eats fox shit. What is that all about?

Hullygully · 29/05/2013 21:29

You do Paggy.

Do you get lots of "luv ya babezzzzzzzzzzz" ?

OP posts:
cornypedicure · 29/05/2013 21:30

maybe fox shit is exotic

usualsuspect · 29/05/2013 21:31

Dogs should eat P & C parking spaces and children with pierced ears.

MN would be a peaceful place
