As per thread title.. What else reeeeeally pisses you off? Words, sayings, phrases or things people do...

I like to put #makingmemories etc posts on fb when things are going wrong ie #soblessed when the kids are fighting or #myhusbandisbetterthanyourhusband when he's just spilt a full 4 pints of milk over the floor. Don't know if some of my annoying fb friends know that I'm taking the piss out of them, but I amuse myself!

To add another viewpoint to the dead relatives posts, I had a shitload of bereavements in a short space of time and will sometimes allude to birthdays/anniversaries on fb if I'm feeling a bit wobbly - easy way to let colleagues/friends who might not know it's a difficult day that if they find me crying in the park/stationery cupboard, that's why.

Someone I know posted lots of #makingmemories #oneforthememorybank etc posts, and I have to admit I was a bit sneery about them. Tragically, one of her children died recently and I am very glad that she has her happy memories to look back on as I know this helps her.

“This One 💕” It’s just so bleeding smug!

I’ll probably out myself here but I have a friend on FB whose husband occasionally hijacks her account and starts a post with “Husband here...” He even now refers to himself as Husband Here! It’s not your bloody name you daft sod!

Supermum29 · 23/03/2019 19:53

Checking in at the hospital/drs.... posting cryptic status then when people ask questions telling them to do you!!

Oh and when people say their “preggo” instead of pregnant that really irks me for some reason Hmm

*dm not do hahaha

saffy1234 · 23/03/2019 19:59

People who sound off about people they have had the chance to say something directly to but don't and then put it on social media...and then write 'rant over'.

Hash tags are the only thing that really annoy me, to be fair I know who posts like that on my fb and I just scroll past without reading their posts, if it gets too annoying I hide them but to be fair mostly I can't get too het up about most of these complaints, if these people and their posts annoy you so much why are you friends?

I did wish my Dad a happy birthday with a pic recently, he might be dead but we still think about him on special days (multiple mentions on that being annoying on this thread) I guess people who don't like that can fuck the fuck off my Facebook friends list Grin

Little man or lil man

Yuck

Speechiebaby · 23/03/2019 20:28

What really grinds my gears is just the general bragatholon that social media is and how it portrays people's lives as perfect and how it can make you feel shit when in fact they just want you to believe there bs! I think social media has so much to answer for with mental health. And yes braggy hashtags/statuses drive me mad so I have to unfollow people who I like in real life because they are mega annoying on SM.Grin

Making memories is a phrase taken from the world of social workers. Used when a child is going to be removed from a parent. How it ever became "main stream" I don't know.

For some reason it's the one thing that absolutely ~fucks me off~ infuriates me!! Only those who are a) approaching death or b) being separated from their kids should be using it!

When did living life/raising a family become so contrived??

I love the poster for sharing this. I keep pontificating about this and everyone rolls their eyes at me!!!

crazycatlady5 · 23/03/2019 20:31

When people post long emotive status’ about having an awful time at the moment and ‘all I can say is I really know who my friends are’ or ‘I can’t believe someone would do this to me’ or something equally inviting and someone comments ‘u ok hun?’ And they reply along the lines off ‘yeah it’s personal I don’t really want to talk about it’z

WHY THE UTTER CRUD ARE YOU POSTING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE THEN.

millimat · 23/03/2019 20:32

I agree with so many of these!
Worst ones are def nom nom, hon/ hun and famalan Hmm

Hushabyelullaby · 23/03/2019 20:37

'Love you all the world' what even is that? It doesn't make sense and makes me irrationally angry!

"I sometimes get a little insecure about filming myself/posting pics in a bikini (whilst attempting To look sultry)because I'm worried I'll look narcissistic but I promise I'm not"

Err yes you are actually

Cue "just do you, we love you as you are, keep being you, keep being real" etc etc
