Boring Facebook updates

I find reading peoples Runtastic updates on Facebook so tedious! Why do I want to know that so and so has just done an invigorating 15 mile run and is feeling fantastic! AIBU and a proper miserable cow to just not want to know? And they post a little map of their route and everything?!

God I hope you are not 1 of my fb friends I would bore you rigid Grin

Mrsjayy · 06/01/2015 19:39

Either folk are to dramatic to showy to boastful now to boring what are we meant to say do

CleanLinesSharpEdges · 06/01/2015 19:42

Que, Queue... it's cue.

These are all hilarious. This is why I love FB.

BloodyDogHairs · 06/01/2015 19:47

Oh dear......I tracked my dog walk today then posted how many miles we coveredBlush

LividofLondon · 06/01/2015 19:49

Oh yes, all the above shite! I acquired a few new friends a couple of months ago and I've already resorted to hiding their inane drivel. It's all pics of the kids with "my beautiful princess", "my perfect little man", or pics of the "first glass of wine of the evening, really need this". Or the "so fed up" followed by "wots up hun?" and "here 4u hun" or "ive inboxed u". Blah blah bloody blah. Or the endless "what colour is your aura" or "what animal were you in a previous life" bollocky quizes. Not one single piece of interesting information. Or anything funny. But worst of all is the fascist propaganda sharing that blame immigrants and benefits claimants for everything wrong with this country, which is scary considering they all seem nice normal people in real life.

Mrsjayy · 06/01/2015 19:49

I probably would have liked that

Mrsjayy · 06/01/2015 19:51

That was for bloodydoghairs

BloodyDogHairs · 06/01/2015 19:53

haha MrsJay I know you're from the Stirling area like me.....it was a lovely walk around the 1314 then up the The King Robert Smile I only got 2 likes

5dogsgoswimming · 06/01/2015 19:55

I laughed at something I saw on do the other day. Someone had done an iq test and their result was displayed, "you're a genious!"

Yes that's right, genious

5dogsgoswimming · 06/01/2015 19:57

"Inbox ya" haha

MrsItsNoworNotatAll · 06/01/2015 19:58

Oh sush! I know it was 'cue' but it was bloody hard to write all that Grin

Rollonpayday · 06/01/2015 20:02

Photos, that's right, photos of people's sick kids. Not babies in special care, that would be necessary information. We're talking listless 7yr olds in onesies asleep in the sofa. WTAF

Rollonpayday · 06/01/2015 20:06

Yes. If MN had a like, I would have liked that Livid!

Ah, I was thinking you meant Queue of comments...duh! Blush

I got into trouble yesterday for taking the piss out of someone who believes that honey and cinnamon will cue cancer. If people post nonsense, I will laugh at it. Confused

BuzzardBird · 06/01/2015 20:10

MrsItsNoworNotatAll · 06/01/2015 20:16

Well you're right in the sense that there usually a queue of shite comments that follows that shite status I posted about Wink

I've got into trouble loads of times for saying what I think about someone's nonsense. Have you noticed how it's always a friend of the nonsense speaker that comes to their defence and they also talk bollocks?

BuzzardBird · 06/01/2015 20:43

I had to block a friend who was into conspiracy theories as she just would not listen to facts even when I pointed out to her that if the government were really trying to kill her then posting it on FB was probably not very wise. Hmm

M00nUnit · 06/01/2015 20:45

Has anyone else been subjected to seeing photos of the content's of a FB friend's baby's nappy along with a caption along the lines of "Look what bubba did after 5 days of no poo poo!"? One of my (now ex) FB friends did that. Totally gross and a dreadful invasion of her child's privacy IMO.

M00nUnit · 06/01/2015 20:45

*contents

BuzzardBird · 06/01/2015 20:57

I would have to hide their posts just for using the word 'bubba' I'm afraid.

justmyview · 06/01/2015 21:02

How about "Does anyone on here know the number for Tesco in X town?" Surely that must be high on the list of FB statuses to dislike, as being totally pointless

MrsItsNoworNotatAll · 07/01/2015 08:09

Oh definitely, just

Along with 'Anyone know if the buses are running today?' this is usually asked when it's a Bank Holiday.

TyrannosaurusBex · 07/01/2015 08:27

My most irritating FB acquaintance is a mum whose kids went to school with mine, she had an affair with one of the dads and when her DH got wind of it they moved away. She posts endless 'cryptic' or self-pitying statuses very obviously referencing the affair, but I get the impression she thinks she's being terribly obscure and mysterious.
