A few months ago a girl I was at school with added me on Facebook. All well and good, but whenever she updates her status she says things like "I'm a tired Princess today" or "Princess can't wait to go shopping with mummy" or "Poorly Princess". We're both 32 years of age.

Is it me just me or is it fucking bizarre? Today she's posted saying "Five days till my holidays. Excited Princess!"

As far as I'm aware she's not a Princess or in any way affiliated with royalty!

She's always been very, very girly. Has a love of pink and such, but to be honest so are a lot other women I know. They don't go around referring to themselves as Princesses.

I've not hidden her statuses as I far them so ludicrous. She's deadly serious as far I can see.

Does she have some kind of personality disorder?

Does she speak in a silly "little girl" voice too? She sounds very annoying.

Yes its a very serious condition known in the world of psychiatry as 'being a twat' sadly there is no cure

Almost as bad as those who have "proud mummy" in their facebook name e.g. Jane proud mummy Smith.

Princess needs a slap

Smilesandpiles · 11/08/2014 16:27

Princess needs to grow the fuck up.

MannishBoy · 11/08/2014 16:27

Sounds like someone I'd avoid.

Like woman at work who says stuff like "you don't understand us girls". or "oh that's boys food". She's 40.

I'm not a boy and you're not a girl. Look in the mirror, I'm not lying.

Pyjamaramadrama · 11/08/2014 16:27

Are you sure she's not referring to her daughter which is just as bad

Otherwise she's a weirdo, delete her.

MrsWinnibago · 11/08/2014 16:28

Keep her on your friend list and it will reflect on you.

Smilesandpiles · 11/08/2014 16:28

Boy's food?

Oh come on, you have to tell me what 'Boy's food' is.

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 11/08/2014 16:28

Princess needs defriending.

mrsbucketxx · 11/08/2014 16:28

Always I hate that too.

She sounds odd thats not normal.

redexpat · 11/08/2014 16:28

Princess neefs to be unfollowed on facebook!

Pyjamaramadrama · 11/08/2014 16:29

Mannishboy, gosh I hate people referring to grown women as 'girls'. It's so patronising.

vladthedisorganised · 11/08/2014 16:29

Oh dear.

You could change your facebook name to Iced "ViveLaRepublique" BirthdayCake I suppose?

Creatureofthenight · 11/08/2014 16:30

She sounds ridiculous, I would unfriend (or at least unfollow) her.

IrianofWay · 11/08/2014 16:30

Oh dear... Hmm

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 11/08/2014 16:30

You should be ashamed OP! Have you no sympathy!

The woman has Princess Syndrome fgs!

It's a degenerative condition. Maybe she's only at the stage of 'Poorly Princess' now but before you know it, she won't be able to manage eeveryday tasks like painting her own toenails, doing her oun up-do or even flapping her own hands in front of her face so everyone knows she's crying when her eyes water.

Have a shred of humanity - please.

StillFrigginRexManningDay · 11/08/2014 16:30

I think she may be a very clever cat.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 11/08/2014 16:31

Oh bloody hell. Grin.

That's just odd, has no one commented?

MummyBeerest · 11/08/2014 16:31

Well, Princess owes me a new lunch. Bluck.

FannyFifer · 11/08/2014 16:32

You should post, awwwww is princess the name of your cat or dog, so sweet.

squoosh · 11/08/2014 16:32

Start referring to yourself as 'Queenie'.

WitchWay · 11/08/2014 16:34

She sounds fucking crackers!

BTW LetsFace - what is that hand-flapping thing all about? Looks ridiculous IMO

Alisvolatpropiis · 11/08/2014 16:34

Yanbu

WitchWay · 11/08/2014 16:35

I just realised - Princess could be her middle name - is her first name Annethe & her last name Royal?
