In fact I can't bear hashtags at all in social media. I mean what the fuck are they for? Vomit inducing.

Anyone who baby-fies their name or their partners name. I know someone who adds ' -pickles' to their partners name everytime they post on social media. Bleurgh.

Naijamama · 21/03/2019 19:08

People who put 'proud mummy' in the middle of their name on Facebook.

Hospital check ins or selfies of themselves in a hospital gown.

Snap chat filters

Anything with a hashtag in front.

LilQueenie · 21/03/2019 19:08

Hun Angry Ok Atilla
Fam
Other half. Clingy much?

Howyoualldoworkme · 21/03/2019 19:14

Oh and "the internet can't cope with.. "
"...gives me life"
I fret about this too much Grin

Mumberjack · 21/03/2019 19:15

Oh and the whole ‘can you spare a moment to post this? Suicide awareness, I’m here’ etc etc. Not against this at all but on my timeline it’s normally the people who I’d never disclose mental health issues to because they’d use it as gossip fodder, or the ones I’ve heard bitching about others!! I’m going to talk to friends who will listen and won’t keep glancing at their phone to see how many likes their compassionate posts are gathering.

LilQueenie · 21/03/2019 19:16

cloths when they mean clothes.
Angles. Maths is apparently the new religion.
gbnf. write the bloody message.

LottieLou90 · 21/03/2019 19:22

Definitely has to be:

“Omg done with this, done with life, sooo upset” etc etc

Another poster:

“What’s wrong”

Yet another poster:

“OMG what’s up?!?”

Poster:

“Oh I’ll inbox you hun”

Grrrrr!!! Don’t post it and just speak to family and close friends. Don’t air it on SM.

Cloudyyy · 21/03/2019 19:23

I think YABVU! What’s wrong with people celebrating, enjoying, sharing, photographing and joking about their lives? I love social media and really enjoy laughing at the minutiae of my friend’s lives. It’s lovely! I don’t have time to phone everyone each day but a quick scroll on SM and I can see what’s made everyone smile today... be that a funny moment with their cat, a fancy dinner out or a day trip with their kids. It makes me smile. Hashtags are just a laugh - lighten up OP!

Bookworm4 · 21/03/2019 19:24

These comments are #hilarious 😂😂
I'm glad someone else agrees on the Happy Birthdays to dead people.
Yummy mummy/ full time mummy; nope we all know you've never worked and got up the duff on a one night stand, nowt yummy about you.

RayaJambalaya · 21/03/2019 19:26

Ugh when people say "bespoke" and then
also feel the need to say "custom made" even though that's what bespoke means. Hmm

PumpkinPie2016 · 21/03/2019 19:27

Hospital check ins - especially when someone asks what's wrong and the reply comes back 'inbox me' or 'text you later'. Why check in to the hospital knowing full bloody well people will ask what's wrong if you're not going to reply? It's just attention seeking!

People who post things like 'heartbroken' or 'devastated' and then, as above, won't say what's wrong when people ask Angry

Looobyloo · 21/03/2019 19:30

Love you to the moon and back. Vomit
Love you too much. Not possible
Happy birthday to this 1 yr old legend. How the hell can a 1 yr old be a legend?
Another friend, everything she does has been, brilliant!!! Fantastic!!! Amazing!!! She can never have just had a good day out.

Loyaultemelie · 21/03/2019 19:30

Commentson I was about to say don't you have to check in when you go to hospital until I twigged what you mean Blush
I had my first rl person talk about their holibobs last week Envy

RayaJambalaya · 21/03/2019 19:31

@LottieLou90 yes to that!! Absolutely does my head in.

"Worst news ever, my life is ruined"

"Why what's up?"

"I'll PM you" 😂😂😂

Oh and also when people announce that they're leaving Facebook or general social media for a while... I'm always like yeeeeah okay Karen, none of us care and we all know you'll be back by tomorrow morning Confused

Monestasi · 21/03/2019 19:34

I don't bother with SM, and could not have clicked on this post.

But it occurs to me that it is solely about mocking people for something that will never ever affect your own existence.

YABU, and also grow the fuck up and be a nicer person. Everyone is winging it. Posts like this where everyone needs to jump on with their 'my hubby' gripes need a mirror. Life is hard and painful in part. Why on earth deride others for how they wish to express theirs.

yearinyearout · 21/03/2019 19:34

Furbaby 😂 it's a bloody dog! (And yes, I love dogs)

Eastie77 · 21/03/2019 19:41

"Don't scroll down without posting amen" followed by the picture of someone seriously ill the person posting does not know and has never met.

LilQueenie · 21/03/2019 19:42

Monestasi but it can affect others. For example april fools day. You get the posts over pregnancy scans where they joke about being pregnant. So many infertile people left feeling useless.

one share or like for charity. Its all fake.

Fb is used like advertising companies but so many people actually believe their own bs about themselves its unreal. 13 years olds see this stuff and easily believe its normal/something to aspire to.

The point is it can and does affect others.

Baconislife · 21/03/2019 19:45

Just done a fb cull
If your still here it's because we are true friends 🤢

PatCliftonspostbag · 21/03/2019 19:45

Someone I follow on twitter regularly posts 'Find your tribe, love them hard' with pictures of said tribe. Everytime I read it I feel rage.

lanbro · 21/03/2019 19:46

People who post "happy birthday Nana, thinking of you on your 123rd birthday in heaven"...

MolyHolyGuacamole · 21/03/2019 19:47

'Name changed, as outing' we don't need an announcement

pattyhoo · 21/03/2019 19:48

Referring to London as being 'the big smoke' or their office as '(companyname) towers' when it's just some shitty little office. Both make me 🤢
