Facebook stalking?

[CommonSense77]

AIBU to think that my DH's previous work colleague (female) from 10 years ago and who I don't know at all, should stop stalking our family via Facebook every time we post a family update? She makes comments and speaks as tho' she's a family friend, which she's not. Is she having a boring life?

Me thinks commonsense77 needs some common sense

Highly strung 77 may be more appropriate.

It's easy to stop her commenting. You simply block her. That way she can see nothing and vice versa. Problem solved.

OMG! I've just put a picture of my new hairdo up and was wondering why my friends were liking it and making nice comments. This explains everything. The utter bastards.

The thing is with face book is it's quite public so your putting things on there for people to see and comment if they choose to. You can block her or unfriend her . Don't think you can really call it stalking as your putting info for her to see.

If she is on your friends list or if not, if your settings allow her to see the posts anyway, then you need to change your privacy settings. It's not stalking if you've put the posts out there for her to see.

I have old colleagues from years ago commenting on my posts. I'm FB friends with them because I like them but unfortunately don't have the time or resources or opportunity to develop a deeper RL friendship. That's one of the nice things about FB - you can still have a catch up and a chat with old acquaintances even though life has moved on.

I'm guessing this woman is FB friends with your DH and you don't like it.

Or do you ... (boak) ... have one of those grim Couples facebook accounts?

It all seems to got a bit out of hand on here. Don't worry though OP just unfriend her and sort your privacy out and you'll be fine

YABU. It's not stalking, it's participating in social media. The clue is in the 'social'.

It feels a bit stalkery when someone comments on EVERYTHING you do though. You get the impression that they're sitting there at their screen, just waiting.

My mum used to do this. I called her a FB stalker. She wasn't impressed but did tone it down [grin[

If she is on the friends list why shouldn't she comment? There are people I don't see but I like it when they comment on my posts! I think Tond is right.
