This really drives me nuts, three people have posted stupid cryptic posts.
1 checked in at the local hospital, 1 said "I am so pissed off with certain people" and 1 simply said "suicidal".
Cue lots of what's up hun and two of them haven't replied.
The suicidal one I've private messaged as well and even messaged her sister as I am so worried, I'm waiting to hear from the sister as she was going round there first thing.
The hospital one after every reply is telling people she'll pm them.
I can't be the only one that sees this as blatant attention seeking, I don't understand it, if you check in to hospital and people are showing genuine concern which is what you clearly want why on earth would you reply to each comment "I'll pm you hun"? Maybe I'm just getting grouchy as I get older!

@ebonyandivory there's some guy I went to school with who is on my friends list.

Every post reads, "starting my next shift at work at 7:30pm. On till midnight then home for chips. Whoop whoop".

"Just finished my shift at work. Now at home eating a chip butty. Got work again tomorrow at 5:30pm. May go for a bike ride during the day time or may not."

"Decided to go for a bike ride before starting my shift at 'insert pub name here' at 5:30. Had a lovely egg butty for breakfast."

"Started work at 5:30pm, working til 12:30 then will consider getting a pizza afterwards"

And on and on and....

My SIL and her mother post passive aggressive memes all the bloody time. "You know who your friends are" I don't give a flying fuck what you think of me" type of thing. I'm intrigued who these things are aimed at, but I can't be arsed to ask her. They also post stuff about sex on there quite regularly even though they are FB friends with their 16yo son / grandson Hmm

I hate the ones that say "thanks to all my true friends, you know who you are" or things like that. It makes me feel shit cos momentarily I think oh, is that me? Then berate myself for being so pathetic.

The the friend's husband who always posts if he has to get up early : "on the 6am train again, groan". Those who do those sorts of hours regularly don't post about it.

"I'm so busy" posts. Yes, of course you are.

I'm not psychic. Say what you mean, and mean what you say. Otherwise fuck off.

Icomehereseekingpeas I have a friend who is lovely and not the slightest bit attention seeking but she would text every meal and snack she ate as a list. To be fair she had just had a gastric band and lost 10 stone so probably a bit obsessed with food but it was so boring!

Icomehereseekingpeas · 14/03/2018 22:57

Ha @prideofaberdeen I think we know the same people. Waaaaay too much detail from some of them Smile

Icomehereseekingpeas · 14/03/2018 22:58

@ebony that sounds thoroughly depressing!

Icomehereseekingpeas It was. I do sympathise with her in the sense that I have had eating issues for many years but I do not want to be either bored to death or "triggered" into a chocolate binge reading her posts! And as for the game scores updates- If those same people send me any more game requests I feel I will give them a piece of me.

ebonyandivory · 14/03/2018 23:23

Icomehereseekingpeas That meme should end Then I got a Facebook Account and was bored to tears!

I do love Facebook, actaully, but not the statuses side of things so much.
