Facebook?? aIBU?

[ssd]

Why do some people feel the need to put every little thing on it?

I don't get it.

Who cares if you,re going a walk, or watching something on telly...

And as for selfies, Jesus wept.

Get a bloody life.

It's true you have to delete or block the people from fb or your feed if you don't want to fully delete. My news feed is pretty bare now I hid all the annoying peoples posts! Pet hate of mine is those who state that they are ill or are at drs or hospital and then everyone says are you ok? Then they reply don't worry or nothing hun.... It's like why the flip did you say anything then! Grrr

checking in at Hospital is one of my peeves if you are going to hospital tell people or not dont check in so folk panic and ask ARE YOU OK HUN ,

I'm quite shocked at the tone of some of the responses in here. Obviously the OP has hit a raw nerve with some ;), and a few comments are quite frankly ridiculous. People who don't update it often are only on there to spy on others? What complete and utter bollokcks.

Yes people use it in different ways. I use it to keep in contact with friends and family who I don't see all that often, but I personally don't feel the need to tell every person on my friends list about every single burp, fart and shit I've ever done because quite frankly who actually cares? I know my life is mundane and ordinary, I don't need to kid myself otherwise.

Try this such fun

excellent MrsSippie!

"People who don't update it often are only on there to spy on others? What complete and utter bollokcks. "

more like ... people who don't update it often but spend a lot of time moaning about how much they hate what they read on there must be on there rather a lot and trawling through their feed just to read what other people are saying...

Believe me, it's really easy NOT to see what other people are putting on facebook.

I post on FB most days, and I try not to be annoying - I try and find things to say or share that are funny, thought provoking or conversation starters. I am a lone parent who works far too hard so for me it's a light hearted and hopefully good way of connecting with other people. But I was deleted by one 'friend' recently so I guess I'm not going to please all the people all the time..!

I despise it when people moan about what they are seeing on Facebook. It makes you feel conscious about how much you are posting onit.

There is a simple procedure to hide certain people from your timeline or better still, remove yourself YABU

Oh gosh, have they changed the law while I've been in meetings today and made Facebook compulsory?

of course, twitter is for the more sophisticated user of social media.

Thank you MrsSippie!

I run a page for our business on FB, which is what I go on there for most. I let the daft stuff wash over me by and large.

FB was very effective when my brother died a couple of years ago and we wanted to make sure as many of his old friends as possible heard about it and were able to come to the funeral.

I sometimes cringe at some of the stuff my usually lovely non attention seeking, otherwise humble friends post on FB. It's like FB brings out the dufuses in some folk. My friend posted one of those cringey 'no make up' selfies the other day, she was covered in self tan, wearing eyelash extensions and eye make up residue. Cue the 'natural beauty hun' comments, which it was obviously intended for! There was no mention of cancer or that she'd made a donation, it was purely an attention seeking exercise. But, because I know she isn't like that at all in RL, I can just about overlook it, but I wish people would stop it!

I hate it when people 'feel blessed' on Facebook.
When I read the blessed statuses I say "fuck off you twat" out loud. I can't help it.

My absolute massive hate;

#soblessed #lovemymanforever #sunnyday #sun #summer #inlove #march #2014 #ihashtageverybloodything

Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh

Don't you mean #aaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhh ^

Yeah what's with the hash tags?? Do they even work on FB?

I don't have a life and I only have a couple of RL friends. FB makes me feel almost like I have a social life.

I quite like it. I use it as a diary.

Yanbu - I like fb, it helps me keep in touch with family who live abroad and friends who no longer live close by. And I do enjoy reading peoples general stuff throughout the day. However, there is one particular person on mine who shares every last detail, mainly her child's bowel movements and where said bowel movement ended up and also she slags her husband off and then they have an argument about it on fb, whilst they are in the same house as each other. The problem is I can't delete her as she will notice and we have lots of the same friends. She isn't young either, late 30's and her husband is older, but over fb they turn into a couple of drunk 18 year olds. I have written a comment on one of her posts before now and deleted it before I posted it, but it's only going to take me being in a bad mood to share my feelings. Drives me mad!

Haha , usuallyright, I do hate that too, although after I had DC3 recently I posted I felt blessed, I did though. It was a valid reason I had just given birth!

I don't feel 'cool' enough to use hash tags.

Oh my days, I deleted my DH's friends over familiar wife the other day. WW3 has broken out!
