aibu t be annoyed at facebook photo of your dad

[NoahVale]

How many of you are willing to put a photo up

what is that all about,
willing?
grr

Porkpie 😄😄😄

Oh shit when is it Father's Day?! Tomorrow? 😱

Change your FB profile picture if you respond to marketing.

Its all arse.

My Dad is dead so I'll go and see his grave instead of fb rubbish

Hell would freeze over before I posted a pic of my father, IF I even had one.

Mines been a pic of me and my dad for months. Although that's because he passed away 7 years ago and I'm pregnant and hormonal and I miss him. Nowt to do with fathers day, which subsequently I dislike as I could never find anything to buy him when he was alive; now he's dead I see loads of stuff I could buy him. Bloody sods law!

it only makes sense if said dad is on facebook and the gesture is seen by and meaningful to him/appreciated by him (for some reason??? perhaps he's in individual who enjoys public declarations!)

But half of them don't have the dad in the pic interracting with this "gesture" so I don't know if the dads are even seeing it??

I find those things annoying in general, especially the wording of them (90% of people won't dare...etc). It's no worse than any of the others and less vomit- inducing than some of them.
It tends to be the same people who indiscriminately 'share' every darn thing including FB hoaxes. You can always unfollow them.

It's not tomorrow is it?

oh shit itxybitsy that was an unfortunate cross post
I didn't mean like what you do, I meant the copy'n'paste "show you care about your dad" style ones.. which IMO are meaningless if you aren't "showing" it to the dad and are just showing off to your facebook friends that you're totes emosh and

I do it on Fathers Day (which is still a week away ) and not in advance.

I'm fortunate to have a dad whom I love dearly and who is still alive.

I do the same on Mothers Day for my mum but she died 4 years ago and I still miss her It's a way of feeling closer to her and remembering the good times before her accident.

Eh I just scroll along.

The world won't end whether I do or don't.

It's nowt to judge others on though it's up to them.

I just go on facebook to nose around I have put a silly name together. Maybe later I will join properly.

YANBU Noah Facebook is the fifth circle of hell and seems to bring out the worst in people.
At the moment mine is full of Together for England
Its good for keeping up with people you don't often see, but other than that I don't pay much attention to it and ignore half the stuff on it.

I can't. I don't know what he looks like nor do I have a photo.

So, as you can imagine I hate things like this.

I must be boring.

screenshotting haha, yes, it's always the same people who put a public declaration on FB for what should really be a private message, phone call letter, card or email. To big themselves up. Eg. "Thank you so much to (name) for the wonderful flowers you sent for my birthday" or " happy 1st birthday to my gorgeous niece, your aunty loves you so much". Or just the blatantly self- congratulatory " well done to (their child's name) for blah blah blah, we are so proud of you. "
All of those examples from one aquaintance of mine.

The ones I've seen, the Father's are deceased and whilst I totally understand wanting to share memories of their dad, it is the wording of the message that goes along with it, I don't like.

screen i wouldn't have taken offence so don't worry. He'd have absolutely hated it if he was alive as he was always well and truly behind the camera rather than in front of it! I agree that a lot of it is done by the 'look at me' brigade!

Me too CuntFuckery . I'd have to put my mum on theras she did both jobs, but then she'd hate it because she hates Facebook.
I don't get all this self congratulation either, why wish someone you live with or see regularly happy birthday etc or wish a toddler happy birthday on Facebook, and my son would never speak to me again if I posted anything braggy about him online!

I am willing, of course, but its the I want to see how many of you are willing
now that gets my GOAT.

Oh. I know the sort of thing you mean now. It's like all those fucking posts and requests that start 'how many of you are brave enough to repost' bollocks.

I fucking hate that kind of thing.

I've accidentally done this but it's of me and him, put it up 5 weeks ago as he died 6 weeks ago . Currently waiting for my sister to change her picture so I'm not the first to take him down.

However, I hate these things. Lad of bullshit, even more so if the person isn't on fb (kids etc)

I ignore all that type of crap on fb. YANBU

yep I have never understood that self congratulatory nonsense and I have a relative who posts every certificate her kids get and tags my cousin in it. I wouldn't mind but you can send private photo messages now!

Of if it is to keep in touch with several family members set up a group chat to share them. I have a group chat with my siblings so we don't flood FB with all our gibbersih.

I've got a photo of my Dad that a school friend who he went on a rugby tour with took. He kindly shared it to my Facebook page. Seeing your 76 yo Dad with a baseball cap with a cock and balls on it won't be one I'll post.
