On Facebook (I know, I know) but what the fuck happened to originality?

How come everyone going to a wedding these days are on their way to "The wedding of the year"?

Why, all of a sudden are all children/husbands/nans/cats "my world" and why do we suddenly "love them the world"? That doesn't even make fucking sense!

If I see another photo of a gang of lasses is Ibiza captioned "Love my girls xoxo" then I WILL resign from the Internet. I do enjoy that the photo is usually really flattering of the poster and often minging portrayals of the "girls".

Felt good to get that off my chest. Thanks.

I clicked on one the other day and it didn't even go anywhere

It was probably done by a hashtag using git that doesn't know how to hashtag properly. They're supposed to be things that a lot of people are using so all the tweets/comments etc. can be accessed in one place. So something like "#my" by itself won't go very far.

Ugh I hate #datenight Envy so you went out with your significant other woop di do!! Always from people who don't post anything on Facebook but feel compelled to say "look look at us aren't we great - we go out without our kids" yawn. I go out too just don't feel the world needs to know.

MyFuckingHair · 31/08/2016 21:22

apigcalledwanda · 31/08/2016 21:38

The one that got me on my feed today was #familyfunweek. So err you never have fun as a family at any other time then?Hmm

YY to "I tell it like it is" also add in " I only say what everyone else is thinking" no you're just a twat with twattish views who doesn't like to called out on their shit so use phrases like the above as a defence mechanism.

Anasnake · 31/08/2016 21:46

I deleted someone for putting 'boom' , 'oosh' or 'woosh' on the ends of statuses, 'having the best time - boom' fuck off.

o'clock preceded by any word which is not a number - e.g wine o'clock, stupid o'clock 😡

MakemineaGandT · 31/08/2016 22:02

#TeamJackson (or insert whatever family surname......)

Irritating

Love you all the stars. Ghastly.

Snazarooney · 31/08/2016 22:15

All of the above!

I hate the proliferation of achieving squad goals/friendship goals/relationship goals etc

Also hate bae and sick.

I think anyone that uses hashtags on FB is ridiculous.

BrianCoxReborn · 31/08/2016 22:21

Just to speak up for hashtags.

They are useful, when used sparingly and correctly.

For example. I have an instagram account which is purely for showing off my crochet/knit/craft creations. I have a specific hashtag which keeps crochet/knit/craft separate for ease in future when I want to find something specific to show someone.

My hashtags are used sparingly though #imagoodhashtaggerguv

imwithspud · 31/08/2016 22:27

Imo hashtags on Twitter and Instagram = fine.

Hashtags on Facebook = not fine.

Hashtags on fb make me cringe actually for some reason. I just feel like they don't belong on there and the person using them is just trying to be 'with it'.

Chocolate1985 · 31/08/2016 22:32

I really don't get the ' this one though ...' Usually with a photo of their friend above it it makes no sense at all ! Or people who begin a sentence with "So...this happened " and it's usually a photo of concert tickets or a new hair cut . I'm getting too old to keep up with it all

TheCompanyOfCats · 31/08/2016 22:36

All of the above is why I deleted FB. I haven't missed it for a nano-second.

"Off of" really annoys me...
E.g. [NAME] off of that TV/radio programme etc.

Just me or anyone else?!?!

apigcalledwanda · 31/08/2016 22:58

Mocha yes.

What about the use of "why".

"Just gonna have a bath why the kids are in bed"

summeraupair · 31/08/2016 23:38

Yas. Or, sorry, 'YAAAAAAAS'

Just no.

#cheekynandosbae #fitnandos

Fuck. Off.

imwithspud · 01/09/2016 00:01

His instead of he's, they are completely different words and it gives me the rage. I.e "his gone to get a drink" instead of "he's gone to get a drink"Angry

seahorse106 · 01/09/2016 00:08

I hate all the stupid share this if you love your daughter with all your heart - because yes every one else clearly doesn't then it's just you...
I know someone who posts that at least 4 times a week and I know for a fact she's over compensating because her child is a spoilt brat that nobody else likes

ColdTeaAgain · 01/09/2016 00:18

Photos with captions like:

"Those eyes though 😍😍😍"
"This one"
