People who talk about their own personality on Facebook

Yeah I know Facebook. But, I hate these kind of updates...

"Oh everyone who knows me knows I have a really quirky and intelligent sense of humour"

Or

"I have so much love to give to the right person but my personality is so free and brave and bold and too clever for average men, so I guess for most they just couldn't handle me."

The latter usually followed by loads of "U Ok Hun? Xxxxx" or just "xxxxx" and of course the attention seeking author of the original status never actually replies to the comments again. Just loves all the Aaawhunning that goes on.

CUNTS CUNTS CUNTS FUCK OFF CUNTS.

kim if you are one of the rare people who only have close friends on fb and they do want to know that's fair enough. Many people do have friends on there they hardly know though so it would be inapproriate.
I don't need to know how much they love their oh's one minute then slag them off the next.
I have got work colleagues on mine who post personal stuff, then when I mention it to them they are surprised I know. Heellooo YOU posted it on fb for everyone to see....

Giraffes have passed me by. FB was so fucking irritating that i had to disable my account about 6 months ago now. I can't say i miss it.

WillYouDoTheMonsterMash · 26/10/2013 15:41

My favourite is the "if she's easy she isn't worth it, if she's worth it she won't be easy, etc etc". You might as well post a picture that says I'm a right pain in the arse/stalker and if I was your girlfriend I'd make your life a living hell.

Kasterborous · 26/10/2013 15:42

Oh yes, there is one of my friends who comes out with these vomit inducing posts, 'love my little prince so much, you are my world, my rock'. Also things like 'I went to the Doctors thinking it was nothing'. Then you get all these 'you ok Hun'. They never come back to say anymore. I feel like replying 'so what'. There is another one who always spells good as gud and I hate it. You might wonder why they are on my friends list, but they are nice in other ways.

And you are right about all these blue eyes bollocks posts. I'm always wary of these ones that say have your elf name, by taking your mothers maiden name and the first letter of your surname, or even the year you were born ect. I'm always a bit Hmm giving too much information away or maybe I'm a miserable old cynic

Hassled · 26/10/2013 15:42

differentname - yes, I know. It's like picking a scab though - if I hid it all, what would I have to get wound up about?

Feminine · 26/10/2013 15:42

You lot are so not using the available hiding techniques!

SignoraStronza · 26/10/2013 15:49

I have one who shares the really articulate, witty, observant and entertaining remarks that her rather grunty five year old regularly comes out with.Hmm

KittyShcherbatskaya · 26/10/2013 15:49

ooh hassled I think I am FB friends with your first love - you were well rid.

An old acquaintance posted that she thought 'Wolf Hall' was badly written and a rubbish book. She was always very dim.

TwoLeftSocks · 26/10/2013 15:49

I think the posts I dislike most (and hide instantly) are the 'Copy this long winded pointless chain post onto your wall to show how much you care about [insert worthwhile cause]/ your family/me'. Bloody winds me up. Have also been known to delete people for those sorts of posts.

SharpLily · 26/10/2013 15:50

Yes, yes, we all know no-one's forced to be on Facebook but I like to see how appalling other people are. Makes me feel all superior Grin.

FrenchRuby · 26/10/2013 15:54

I hate that Marilyn Monroe quote 'I'm impatient, selfish....' Blah blah blah... Firstly, she didn't say it, secondly it's just an excuse for you to behave like a complete arsehole.
I also have a person on my fb who constantly asks 'can someone come pick me up from town tonight at 3am, will pay petrol' I always want to write the local taxi number on her statuses.
I also have someone who is constantly outraged about everything in the news. I wish she'd just chill out for a bit. And I used to have the usual Memorial Day/st George's days/Christmas Day racists, but I deleted all them.

thebody · 26/10/2013 15:55

ceramicunicorn.. spat out my tea.

what about 'it's at the corners of your life that the wind blows strongest'!!!!!

WTAF on my Facebook feed today.

also a sad face!!! wish there was a ' oh do fuck off dear button

thebody · 26/10/2013 15:57

oh Kaste just done my elf name and it's pretty!! Grin need wine..

TEErickOrTEEreat · 26/10/2013 16:01

My real problem with FB is my mother takes it so seriously.

I usually post to Twitter and my Twitter automatically updates my FB, so my status are 140 characters or less.

So then I get an email along the lines of 'what? What do you mean (whatever I said)?!?!'

Um. Mom? It was a joke/shortened/whatever. CHILL OUT!

SharpLily · 26/10/2013 16:06

My teenage niece often jut tells the world "bored". Yes, love, that's because you're sitting there on fucking Facebook instead of having a life. What do people expect from a post like that - entertainment ideas?

LittleWhiteWerewolf · 26/10/2013 16:19

I replied to the riddle today because I thought it was door and felt clever. Was told that it was eyes after all. Fine. But I haven't changed my profile, nor will I. Rebel, me Wink

SharpLily · 26/10/2013 16:23

I have a friend who is always posting about her health freak ways, how she's become a fitness instructor and loves being all fit and healthy, how we should all avoid this and that unhealthy food and cook organic shit as she does. The other 50% of her posts are about how she has a temperature, a virus, aching joints blah blah. Why the fuck would we take health advice from you - you have more illnesses, infections etc. than a doctor's waiting room!

Now she makes me feel all superior for scoffing chips and chocolate and never falling ill Wink.

ninjanurse · 26/10/2013 16:30

Its the attention seeking ones that get me

'ohh Ive had such a terrible day!'
'what goes around comes around, karma always gets people in the end'

followed by

'ohhh hun are you ok' x100

followed by

'ohh I cant talk about it its too upsetting, Ill inbox you'

why post the status in the first place then arrrgghhh

Yeah yeah I know, I should hide some people, but I am just too goddamn nosy

Purple2012 · 26/10/2013 16:35

ninja that's what I hate too.

SharpLily · 26/10/2013 16:38

I hold Facebook personally responsible for the hideous omnipresence of 'hun' in the first place. It's like holding up a big red flag saying 'I'm a chav!'.

FeckOffCupofBatBlood · 26/10/2013 17:30

YANBU, I was very Hmm when I saw a status update along the lines of "Having a reputation of being so zany and unconventional I have been working hard to come up with a fitting name for imminent PFB."

TEErickOrTEEreat · 26/10/2013 17:31

I ignore any of the 'oh I'm sooooo sad' posts that don't elaborate. If you don't want to tell people, don't fucking post!

thebody · 26/10/2013 17:34

suggest she calls the baby boring twat face after her.

meekenough · 26/10/2013 17:35

"I have so much love to give to the right person but my personality is so free and brave and bold and too clever for average men, so I guess for most they just couldn't handle me."

Who actually types that stuff? I think you just know some wierdos on fb lol.
