To ask if you ever post "those" things on Facebook?

[TheHouseOnTheLane]

You know...these things.

If you do, can I ask why? Who are you telling? Why are you bothering?

I see quite a few of them on a weekly basis from otherwise reasonable people and can't help but think "God! If you've got an issue with someone then sort it out or forget it/them"

AIBU to hate them? They're so passive aggressive!

I did once
I was having a passive aggressive moment and have learned my lesson!

How did you learn your lesson someday?

I don't post anything but I have heard people talking about how they use it. I hate it because it has made me feel differently about perfectly nice people when I see the rubbish they like and share. I think it is a split second decision. I remember my neighbour saying she had seen something and thought "I like that. I'm going to share it". No real thought goes into it, I think you just click and it is on there for ever.

I hate those things. And the "post this if you have a son/daughter/mother/aunt/dog/mug you love more than anything" ones.

I shared one once that said 'i dont hate you. i just hope you have your next period in a shark tank'.

I found it funny and wasn't aimed at anyone

Because I quickly realised, as my newsfeed was over populated by them, that they look like a cheap shot at somebody you should probably have an honest chat with!

I think sometimes they capture a feeling or strike a cord in people. They can also be cathartic, allowing someone to express how they feel without having to say it out loud. Probably gathered that i think YABU

My sister does this. She does it because she is aiming them at me. I have her blocked from my feed and I'm not her FB friend but DD sometimes queries wtf is going on with her. So I look and then I try to bleach my brain.

Another of the things about facebook that did my nut in and made me decide to deactivate my account

I get a fair few of those from one of my friends although today she has been posting those 'scroll past if you're heartless' posts of children with cancer. They just enrage me. And yes I scrolled past

I have a Ffriend who does this. It's definitely a way of having a swipe at her ex, maybe it helps her feel better, I don't know.

I do think that there's a strong possibility that one day she'll look back on them and cringe. I would, knowing that loads of people had seen me air my dirty washing so publicly.

I have a friend who does this, it really annoys me. I end up wondering if I'm one of the 'some people' she refers to and going over every conversation we've had recently, then when I speak to her, it turns out it's aimed at a call centre or someone she vaguely knows or a customer who's pissed her off.

It was about me once, caused a lot of ill feeling when she confessed that yes, it was about me. I told her I was not impressed and that if she has a problem with me to talk to me directly.

It's really selfish posting stuff like that because it just makes everyone you know paranoid, especially when it's followed by a "What's up hun?" "I'll PM you"

I usually try to make a joke of it saying "oo-er I'm in the doghouse again" or something, but without asking for any elaboration, as I want them to know that I've seen it but I'm not interested enough to know what it's actually about.

I have a few friends that post meaningless shit all the time, I've managed to stay off FB for a week now and I feel loads better for it.

sometimes, if its a good one

I post all sorts of crap

SideOrder, I love that shark one!

I hate the 'Post this if you love your sister' nonsense.

My sister would love me more if I didn't post such shite, or maybe I don't love her at all because I haven't.

Utter bollocks isn't it.

Worse are the posts like 'at the hospital'
People pile in ' oh hunny what's wrong?'
' will message you'

Well don't fucking bother posting then!

I had someone (distant family) that did this constantly. The fact was that she had a long list of people that she had a problem with (usually for no real reason) but would be friends with them in RL & FB but would then find it funny to aim these posts at them. Usually very insulting ones.

I ran into her at a family event & she was bragging about doing it & how funny she & her friends found it!! I un-friended her when I got home.

I don't have FB. It's very weird, but the teenagers seem to like it.

I do like this one though.
