To want to disown my friend because she overuses hashtags? (Lighthearted)

[SamanthaBrique]

She's always been one to hashtag the fuck out of everything she does - if she's cooking it's #yummyinmytummy, if she's with her DP it's #myfabbabydaddy and now she's had a baby, every time she posts on social media about an outing with her DS it's #babylurve #mummydiaries!

It makes my teeth itch, I don't know why, but does anyone else have the same reaction?

Of course I might just be a miserable old gimmer...

Hate hashtags with a vengeance. Up there with "feeling blessed" #fuckoff

I have a lovely friend who's hugely qualified in a very specialist area, interesting, articulate and quirky (in a good way)

Her FB is littered with bazillions of inane hashtags. I just don't get it.

Oh dear lord.

Waffles80 I would gladly volunteer to help bury the bodies.

they grip my shit! #stopitallreadywiththefuckingpointlessasshashtags!

[ChocolateFuzz]

I'd cut her out of my life instantly, I hate hashtags. I also hate emoticons so take that as you will

Well the Hashtag abuser I'm thinking of is certainly too thick to write a blog - she would need to learn to use apostrophes properly for a start

The only point to hashtags is so you can discuss #gbbo and #strictly as they happen on Twitter. Very entertaining - I know you can just do that on a MN thread etc, but honestly it's far quicker and wittier on Twitter.

Some people monsters I work with use verbal hash tags

As in they say, for example:

"God I was so drunk at the summer party, hashtag embarrassed."

Obviously they should be #shotatdawn.

[coldcanary]

I'd probably have to drop her for using the phrase babydaddy alone! Hate that phrase.
I know a child who speaks in hashtags which is really weird to listen to

That group of friends (squad) is so amazing that it is the type of squad that one should look for when looking to create a squad.
#Squadgoals

[ImperialBlether]

OK so someone please tell me. What happens once #breakfast #messymonkey #babyboy #myworld or whatever is typed? Does someone really click on the link to see who else has used the same hashtag?

[Giratina]

YANBU. I've recently unfollowed someone on facebook for overuse of hashtags. Irritating, self obsessed nonsense. We don't need to see a picture of your kid covered in cornflakes followed by #breakfast #messymonkey #babyboy #myworld.

[SantasLittleMonkeyButler]

I don't understand the point of hashtags either.

I don't use Twitter, but have noticed people doing this all over FB recently.

The most confusing one being #squadgoals.

If anyone has a teenage girl (or is "down with the kids" themselves ) please feel free to explain!

[Crocodillian]

Is she trying to get traffic to her posts for the purpose of doing a blog? Ie her posts aren't really about showing anyone pictures of her fab baby daddy (sick in mouth), they are just to generate more followers?

I dont have social media accounts but I find that a good way to ensure that you can still be annoying is to just use # in every day conversations whilst chatting face-to-face.
"Oh look mum, it's hashtag raining"
To which dm responds, "Washing's getting hashtag wet"

Yes so for example, during the Olympics, you could search for #Rio2016 or whatever, or if a big event has happened in the news you could use it to see all comments relating to that.

But I can't imagine anyone has ever done a search on #yummyinmytummy exactly. It's not as if someone sits down for a cup of tea and goes 'hmmm I wonder who else has had this experience' and searches for #mummytimeTea then sits and scrolls through everyone's inane self absorbed drivel.... or perhaps they do, who knows!

[UnGoogleable]

I have a few of these. They piss me off no end.

One will tag each post with, no joke, about 10 different hashtags #IlovemyBabies #YummyMummy #BabyLove all the fucking time. WHo the fuck cares

The other used to be an intelligent, well educated interesting person. She has now reduced to FB posts about 'having a cup of tea #mummytime'

[2cats2many]

I've defriended someone for excessive use of exclamation marks before so YA definitely NBU.

[StillStayingClassySanDiego]

Kill her now. #sorrynotsorry

[squoosh]

On Twitter it makes sense if you want to search for comments on an event or a TV show or whatever. But I can't imagine anyone has ever done a search on #yummyinmytummy

[ImperialBlether]

I've never understood the hashtag thing on Twitter. Do people really look at a page where everyone's used the same term? WHO HAS TIME?

Holy crap, I would keep her for sheer entertainment value.
