I have pms..I realise this because I have bitched and moaned for at least 5 days..anyway I am pretty sure once I am back to being a rational human being I will still loathe these things.

Facebook status involving posters partner.

The mr, my man, hubby,

Had a lovely day with my man.

Snuggled up with the mr.

Waiting for hubby to get home..

Ffs most of us that have Facebook accounts are friends with you we know your husband/boyfriends name why can't posters just use it?

Had a lovely day with Derek..there isn't difficult is it.

And those who put xxx on the end.

Waiting for film to start with my man xxx - feeling blessed. Envy

Fuck off!!!!

I've hidden everyone so I can simply keep in touch with those I don't live near and have a good nose view their photos.

I cannot be the only one to find this irritating?

I hate the attention seeking pity grabbing status updates with no information because they're just dying for everyone to follow them round (metaphorically speaking) patting their back and beggibg then to say What's wrong. My sil is a massive perpetrator of this fb crime which is why I deleted the bitch over a year ago

XXX is feeling so sad :(

usually followed by a string of luvs and huns and little fucking hearts. a couple of days later there's usually a passive aggressive sally along the lines of...

XXX well at least I know who my reel [sic] freinds [sic] are. Dont h8 on me h8r

I honestly don't know how these people spawned my intelligent, cynical, able to spell husband.

None of my friends post things like that. I wonder why your friends are so dull.

Well I can honestly say that I have never, ever been offended by anything on Facebook, and what's more I never will be. ///emo/te/2.gif

Expressions of love to non-facebookers are the worst. Or facebook statuses directed at the extremely aged/dead.

I hate this even more in real life than I do on facebook. I have friends who are constantly referring to 'my better/other half,' 'my man,' 'my missus' etc when I have met and know the name of their partners. Really annoys me.

I used to have acquaintances on facebook who did this - they were vomit inducing so I deleted them.

Ironically, I have just learned that they're separated and apparently are now living out their divorce on facebook too.

Worse than the lovey dovey bollocks are those living out their animosity towards their exes on facebook, following by "thanks for dropping off the kids 10 minutes late, now you've screwed up my entire afternoon" - followed by their friends commenting "he doesn't know what he's lost hun, you're so much better off without him.." - bleurgh. I'm a pretty ruthless deleter though.

I put updates about my little girl but try to be as non vomit-inducing as possible. I hope i succeed and not too many of my friends have hidden my status. I have one friend however who writes essays about her kids and by the time you wade through it, it's usually a stealth boast to say what an amazing job she is doing of bringing them up e.g. my son said xxxxx at the dinner table yesterday when we were having a conversation about - feeling proud. Cue comments from various friends of hers saying things like. Oh xxx you must be soo proud. What an intelligent young man. Well done you for teaching him about this sort of stuff, etc. Yuck.

Fakebook is thankfully but a distant nightmarish waste of time memory as I had my account deleted last year. I definitely prefer mumsnet and you are all my new best friends lol (had to slip in a quick lol, just for the hell of it)

What I hate about Hatebook (sorry for any xposts):

All the sick inducing crap already described upthread - vile, fake! Most are from people who are in relationships where they scratch each others eyes out on a daily basis, then rush to post on FB just to validate their "wonderful blessed lives".

Cryptic status updates - attention-seeking. "Someone will wish they had never been born ". Look, Lovey, if someone pisses you off, either sort it out with them, or tell us what's the matter, quit with the drip-feeds, OK??

Pictures of dinner plates and glasses of wine (always accompanied with Nom, nom, nom) - thanks, I eat food too, and yes it is normally on a plate... AND???

All those bloody Fb Poker games, Farmville (do I care you just bought a pig - Crapinola-ville, more like) - that took up about 75% of my feeds, because I was Billy-no-Mates, after defriending most people for getting right up my nose!

Schmulzy stuff about God wants me for a sunbeam, meaningful inspirational sunsets etc, yards and yards of the bloody stuff clogging up the screen.

The only thing I can boast about was that none of the people in my Friends list were ever crass enough to take a photo of poor unsuspecting people with, shall we say, weight problems and mocking them on Fb (did you see that awful AIBU?)

That's just scratching the surface, but OP, YADDDNBU!

I have a fb 'friend ' who is guilty of all of the above. I haven't deleted her as she provides such treasures as a photo of her son wearing pretend large black rimmed glasses with the caption " geek sheek (sic) lol xxxxx".

Yadnbu! The sickest one I've read is:

"All cosy and warm in bed with my man xxx"

Eeew! Don't want to know thanks. I just automatically imagine farts and sweat for some reason when people write shit like this. I don't know why!
