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.

Inspired by this thread, perhaps, Devon?

Today the giraffe shit did my head in must be least 10 freinds none associate with each other different parts of country.

My bloody cousins are so attention seeking

some always cryptic messages.
detest the new fb expressions with smiley or face

saying shit like

I feel blessed

im so happy
im so angry
feeling proud!

people who overuse the work hun or say LOL lot.

The charity- I like it when-none of it makes sense.

the shit fb mesages copied into like 30people saying random shit normally funraising.

I love my babas.

photographing every purchase.
over stalking photos of their kids yes your kids cute but 10 new pics each day get a life .
itemised like just17 look at my oufit where its from and how flipping much it cost.

I dont need to know where they are every hour of the day .

The ones who reveal every drama and health problem.

i hidden so many people really should have a cull as feel annoyed a lot.

I've just experienced 5 vague book updates since I saw this post!

Fecklessdizzy · 27/10/2013 00:33

My sister tried to sign me up for FB as I'm crap at phoning her up ( she lives in a signal-free wasteland and never answers her land line ) but I couldn't handle all the things it wanted to know ... I'm a mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a grubby duvet, me - no good ever came of telling people where you went to school Hmm.

timidviper · 27/10/2013 01:08

I only joined FB recently as my DCs are now older, have left university and, clearly, no longer have as much to hide from me. I am shocked! Women my age, writing shite in textspeak, sending twee crap about how much they love somebody and stupid things telling me to send them on or I will have bad luck/lose money/get clunge rot/etc.

FB and menopause are not an easy combination of irritations to manage!

bootsycollins · 27/10/2013 01:19

Is it wine 'o' clock yet?
Feeling blessed
Just ironed 3 wash loads, made the tea and done the dishes now it's time to put me feet up
If you've got something to say, say it to me face yeah? (Oooooh the irony)
Just eating my home made organic granola whilst watching Mother Nature at work with the storm that I'm going to dance in like no ones looking whilst living, laughing and loving and sourcing organic lavender to sew into vintage fabric pouches etc etc etc

Thatisall · 27/10/2013 01:24

Also why do people 'like' their own status'? Weird

bootsycollins · 27/10/2013 01:31

Argh! Just remembered another annoying fb thing, when people talk about themselves in the third person Angry

AgentZigzag · 27/10/2013 01:04

I think it's saying thank you to/agreeing with the people who've commented Thatisall?

Thatisall · 27/10/2013 01:12

No I don't mean liking the comments, I mean posting something and then liking it? Sometimes there's just one like on an update and it's the person who wrote it Confused

AgentZigzag · 27/10/2013 01:17

I've just googled it and the conclusive answer (from different sources) is that they're all sad twats.

See, you knew the answer all along.

"then they will have blue eyes"

SHRIIIEEEKFuckingBearBlood · 27/10/2013 06:45

How can it be eyes? The riddle describes that you wake up and therefore are awake at the time of asking. Presumably you have your eyes open. Mine would be the blinds to see who the hell it is - though my initial answer was dooor

DELETE YOUR FACEBOOK ACCOUNTS PEOPLE - YOU WILL BE AS 'BLESSED' AS THE CUNTS THAT MAKE YOU WANT TO STICK PINS IN YOUR EYES!

Best thing I ever did. One blissful FB-free year and counting.

FiscalCliffRocksThisTown · 27/10/2013 07:51

I got irritated with a friend saying how russell brand was a political genius, and how she is all for a revolution in the style of the tottenham riots....

I want to ask her how she was going to lead this revolution, from her detached home, with her DH at an investment bank, her kids in private school and her daily golf sessions...

Champagne socialists boil my blood!

'Would like to wish my fantastic hubby a happy anniversary'

Actually means

'I would like all of you to wish us a happy anniversary.'

LonelyGoatherd · 27/10/2013 08:03

I don't want to leave FB - use it for messaging and photo sharing. BUT I make good use of the block/hide/unfriend buttons.

Person at top of that list is drug addict who posts hourly about the health benefits of weed, gov conspiracy theories and the importance of only eating organic food to avoid poisoning your body ...

ICameOnTheJitney · 27/10/2013 08:06

I've seen one that rambles on about "If you remember where we first met then we're real friends..put it below my comment and then I won't delete you. I'm having a cull." Confused I see that and I go "Great! Cull away! I'm happy to lose you mate."

katese11 · 27/10/2013 08:22

I posted a couple of sickly lines about saying Goodbye to old friends earlier. ..I was clearing out my shoe collection at the time.

To be fair though I was also doing it out loud IRL as I put them in the bags. There was a lot of "I loved you but we could never make it work" or "you've served me well but it's time to move on" touching stuff!

ppeatfruit · 27/10/2013 08:30

I wouldn't want to come off it completely; I'm back in contact with a half sister who I never even knew I had for ages. Also I live in Fr. for 6 months of the year so it's much cheaper than phoning our adult DCs and more fun.

OnecanToucan · 27/10/2013 08:44

Happy birthday mum, lots of love me and kev.xxxx

Fine, but then....

Happy birthday granny, lots of love from Chardonnay, Denim and bump.xxxxxx

Why??? The kids aren't writing it, they don't know Facebook exists so why put it??!

I'm still not going to leave fb though- I'm too nosy.

lade · 27/10/2013 08:53

Ha ha, but part of the fun is other people's updates.

I think I'm lucky,I'm very selective about who I accept as Facebook friends (and even within that, I hide an awful lot of people). So most of my friends posts are normal.

Do agree though that Facebook seems to show people's real personalities, and there are very definitely types on Facebook. Some people come across as utter muppets, posting bollocks which a quick check on snopes shows to be completely untrue, others come across at utter bitches, slagging off other people for what they choose to put on their Facebook pages, some come across as very self centred, always posting about how fantastic their lives / children / jobs / husbands etc are, I always wonder whether they are telling me this or themselves? Some come across as utter bores, always posting on the same topic (often children, but not always, can be any hobby or interest!).

However, I mostly have normal friends with normal Facebook updates. I therefore get to laugh at / ignore the muppety ones. They are very revealing though in an amateur psychology way Smile.
