To really dislike "copy and paste" messages on FB

[littlebillie]

Is it just me every second post is about "I know you won't read this " but if you "don't copy and paste this you won't be "fighting cancer" or some other justifiable reason to copy, paste, share and if you are a BAD person.

This smacks of my school days chain letters, but at least if you didn't send them you were still alive after midnight you knew it was over. These guilt shares go on for months.

YANBU. I don't do these on principle. Sheer idiocy, they achieve precisely nothing. Unless you count annoying your friends, of course... I tend to unfollow people who do it too often.

My lovely friend has just posted her second one of the week- why?!

Yanbu ugh I feel like telling them all to fuck off, like the heartwarming person I am.

Ugh don't get me started... share to show your support, share for a amen

That one at the moment being trotted out about only 25 of your friends seeing your posts

Anyone who has a heart will share...I know who they are... ;)

Beyond the guilt 😩

My real friends will share this
No, this is not the way I will prove my friendship. Regularly driving fours hours each way to spend a couple of hours with you while you were ill is a sign of my friendship. Being there for late night calls and all the other little things, that's what shows I'm a friend. Not posting your shitty, blackmailing chain message. Hate them

I'm forever hiding the body messages.

Bloody not body!

I find the throw away cancer/mental health "support" rather derogatory

I don't do these on principle. Sheer idiocy, they achieve precisely nothing

^^ This.

I lose respect for any friend or acquaintance who shares this kind of nonsense.

Yep. They deserve to burn in hell along with fucking 'inspirational' posts and other such tripe.

they are chain letters. You are presumably not twelve. Ignore them.

I immediately unfollow anyone who posts this sort of “most people won’t care enough to repost” drivel. Correct, I don’t care, bye.

I do find it odd how many of my friends who are otherwise intelligent, rational, kind, functioning human beings over the age of 12 share these things.

I hate that one at the moment about only seeing the posts of 25 friends and to bypass the thing by copying and pasting....how is that going to even change anything?!! It just makes that your status! My FIL is bad for believing everything he reads on there, he did that one the other day and he also always shares all the ones about the clocks going forward/back when it's totally the wrong date and they're going the other way from what the post says! It gives me the rage

I sincerely question the intelligence of anyone who posts these. You have to be a certain level of dim I think.

Dahlietta I don't get it, I know loads of these in RL competent functioning adults who the moment they go on FB share all sorts of bullshit...do brains dissolve when people logon?

That stupid 25 friends thing is a hoax. I attach the Hoaxslayer link to it.

How's this for a horrible one?

I always assume the fb account has been hacked or hijacked when these appear apparently posted by my friends. Surely no sane, thinking person does it, whatever is the point in them?

Feckitall, it's weird isn't it? I totally get the people on here who are saying this people must be idiots, but really, I know lots of people who do this who are truly nice, intelligent people!

Yep..I usually link to snopes...one even said ' I did wonder ' but she still shared rather than just take 1 minute to Google.. and not look like an idiot...

Same with the ones that go:
Life is not just photos. Blah blah blah big paragraph of inspirational crap. To really connect with friends and see who reads a post even without a picture, comment below with one word about how we met/a good memory etx. Then copy and paste this to your wall. Don't just reply. Remember to share too
