Facebook - I am so blessed :)

I don't know why but this phrase always makes me want to scream.

Maybe it's because I have friends (& family) who post it multiple times EVERY day

My cat is so cute. I am blessed :)

My food is so yummy, I am blessed :)

Ad infinitum

I know you have wonderful friends, family, cat, partner, food but seriously more than once a week and it gives me the FB rage!!

AIBU to hate this phrase on FB

When people address their children directly. '(Insert kid's name) is one today. Happy birthday son, have a fab day, love you so much' etc etc. He's one. He can't read it and by the time he's old enough to have a FB it'll be long gone!!

HesMyLobster · 14/10/2013 22:03

"Like" if your children mean the world to you.

"Like" if you have a daughter who is the most precious thing in your life

"Like" if you have a son you love

Seriously?! I see these repeatedly every day!

Also the "I love my babies" thing

" what do you want, a cookie? ". Grin

There was a very funny thread about this very thing a few weeks ago. I have since noticed to my horror that there is actually a 'feeling blessed' emoticon on the status update box aaarrrgggh! I have a well I'll call her a friend but we don't hang out together or anything, who seems to lead the most impossibly perfect blessed existence that I find it quite fascinating. On the upside I saw her in the playground at pick up the other day looking thoroughly pissed off Grin

I highly recommend the STFU parents blog for deal

MrsJay I have only met her once as she lives at the other end of the country to us, but she is very mature and streetwise. I rather suspect that she thinks he is a fucking idiot but goes with for the stuff!

This (or similar - there are lots of good explanations of the phenomenon) is a good thing to post back at the people who insist on endlessly Liking crap on fb:

news.yahoo.com/blogs/upgrade-your-life/facebook-scam-alert---what-really-happens-when-you--like--150959399.html

Though only if you can deal with the people who think that by posting it, you're just being a big mean 'ole bitch about the whole thing...

puntasticusername · 14/10/2013 22:23

Oh thanks bogeyface, I haven't yet figured out how to do hyperlinks via the Android app (is there a way?).

"Gawjus"

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

its not even a word

Thisuserhasblockedyou · 14/10/2013 22:41

People going on holiday and post status updates on each leg of their journey 'leaving for airport'
'Having drink at airport'
'Boarding plane'
'Arrived at destination' you get my drift. Do they want to make us jealous? I always think their company and holiday must be utterly shite if they keep on going on fb every 5 min to update their status.
Or what about the lovey dovey messages of how much they love their dp, dh, dw. Tell them in person ffs.

i guess lots of 14 yr olds would go with it

SamHamwidge · 14/10/2013 23:49

Nothing worse then people posting endless pics of their cute dcs.

  1. All kids are cute, if you like kids.

2.No one thinks yours are as cute as you do.

The worst ones.are of babies with food smeared all over their faces, meant o be cute but makes.me feel nauseous!

mrsjay · 14/10/2013 23:59

that makes me heave a tomatoey faced toddler is not cute and it if it is all over their hands a high chair it is worse I actually heave when i see them,

mrsjay · 15/10/2013 00:00

don't get me wrong i love a cute baby pic but 100s a day just really is there any need Hmm

Moistenedbint1 · 15/10/2013 00:04

Vague booking - ""Am sat in tears right now"

Friend: ""Aw, what's wrong hun?""

"I'll PM you.."

Grrrrrrrr .. And don't get me started on the whole "selfie" phenomenon. Ghastly shit. Since when did narcissism become socially acceptable virtue?

bootsycollins · 15/10/2013 00:07

"House cleaned top to bottom, tea done and all washed up, ironing basket empty, phew I think it's wine 'o' clock"
What do these fuckers want? A fucking medal? Seriously bore the fuck off.

mrsjay · 15/10/2013 00:11

my younger sister likes a selfie i just ignore them now yes love your hair is nice now stop it

bootsycollins · 15/10/2013 00:16

"If you've got something to say, say it to my face"
Aaahhhhh the irony Grin

usuallyright · 15/10/2013 00:17

funniest thread I've read for ages on here was about the feeling blessed bollocks on Facebook. A few weeks back.
Someone said they were going to visit the supermarket and do a status of .'feeling blessed on the bread aisle' and I've almost done that update!

kcumber · 15/10/2013 00:41

a girl on my FB put's her baby's full name with a "

Earthymama · 15/10/2013 00:51

Oops, I have just said that very thing on FB SadBlushWinkGrin

I Have been quite ill and I am lots better, and I DO feel blessed and so I said I did.

It's part of my attempts to stave off the deep despair I feel at things that happen in this society.

I am sure it annoys people but I know the people I want to like it, will like it so I am still Blessed!
Wink
Sorry could not resist

Bogeyface · 15/10/2013 01:32

I want to post a pic of me hugging Brian and "feeling Blessed" but I rather suspect that most people wouldnt get it :o

Bogeyface · 15/10/2013 01:33

Punt sorry, no idea mate! Android anything confuses me, as they say "Just cos you have a smart phone dont mean you are smart"! That was written for me :o

Shanghaidiva · 15/10/2013 01:44

Bogeyface - Hilarious!

whysoglum · 15/10/2013 02:11

What a bunch of miserable bores you lot sound.
Delete or hide.

Maybe they read your carefully crafted updates tedious or wonder why you have facebook since you only use it to stick your noses in the air and only use it 'properly'.
