Ok it's a Facebook one but can people please stop posting shit like this looking at you dcousin

Actually I know I'm being unreasonable should be posting this on netmums because people can post what they like on their Facebook pages but it's just so urgh

What woe is me ones come up on your Facebook?

And yes I do need it for my business, yes I do unfollow the offenders, yes this is lighthearted etc etc

afishnotabird but presumably they left their front door unlocked?

afishnotab

That pretty much sums it up

Another minor annoyance is the prosecco ones . Why ? It’s basicallly sharing with the world you have an alcohol problem but as it’s Bubblez it’s OK !!

I always suspect that people who post these things are a bit dozy, because how can you be so lacking in self awareness? I'd love to see their CV. "Experience and skills - I'm the sort of girl etc etc"

I've spotted a lot of the "my door is always open and I'm here to chat #mentalhealthawareness" type posts recently, and it's inevitably the last person you'd ever confide in!

I use no social media (aside from MN) and it’s very liberating

And if you get tagged in them you will of course receieve some begging pm asking for money or to pay for a sex chat. FB is really just for scammers now.

I love it when my mum posts shit like this. Her entire Facebook is covered in thousands of pics of her pets. The only photos of her grandchildren are when they're petting one of her ponies. Or feeding her ponies. Or grooming her ponies. She only spends time with her pets. The grandkids warrant a single babysitting if we really, really need it. For Christmas she turned up and handed two out of three grandkids a 10 pound note each and not even a card. My kids birthdays sometimes get a card. Or not. Never early or on time either. She'll turn up at night with the envelope not dry yet (written in the car) but only if she's in the area picking up a takeaway. Otherwise it's just a half arsed excuse if I happen to call her.

And then she posts "if your grandkids mean the world to you......" type shite. My DSis and I always want to ask if she has ones we don't know about.

YADNBU - I hate that shit ! Also I wish people would stop sending bloody chain messages Angry

CheekyFuckersAreEntertaining · 04/01/2018 12:37

New Year messages. Both on walls or direct to your inbox.

I nearly deactivated my Facebook because of all that inspirational, reflective or sentimental bollocks.

Surely it's not just me who doesn't give a shiney shite about your self discoveries of 2017 or how 2017 was a terrible year and hopefully 2018 will be a better, more positive time or some shit like that. It's a DATE. That's it. The only change is having to remember to not write 17 instead of 18.

And no. I will not "Keep this candle burning" or "Keep this snowball rolling"

Both will be snuffed out and squished the second you chain mail enters my inbox.

I hate it when I get sent 'chain letter' type things,with instructions to send it to a million a dozen of my FB friends,and implying that bad luck will befall me if I don't.
