Your Social Media pet hates?

[TazzyDrunk]

I will start

Someone who constantly bangs on about politics , especially the ones who make the same points over and over again about Brexit.

People posting photos/status's mentioning/showing expensive brands to make them look rich! "Just checked in to the Ivy for brunch" photos of Christmas presents with chanel, Dior shopping bags lined up at the front. Photos of them and their DH/DP with LV scarves draped round their necks with massive Gucci belts and their feet positioned so you can see the red soles on shoes. Makes me cringe 🙈

People who constantly post photos of a cheeky Baileys/prosecco/larger (sic). You come across as an alcoholic.

People who update their page with a photo they've uploaded before. Then the "you look fab hun" replies. Ffs of course you look fab hun, your photo is 10 years old.

It doesn't help that I've got an excellent memory and remember seeing the photo before.

People who make criminals out of little old ladies walking their dog.....yes, they may not have picked up the poo but that doesnt give you the right to name and shame them and make them the most hated in the village.

Checking in at hospital / A&E if you're well enough to be begging for attention on Facebook do you really need to be in a&e

People who overshare their children , I once had a Facebook "friend" post a picture of her daughter naked sat on a potty captioned something along the lines of "X has mastered potty training , such a proud mumma bear" it was soon deleted so I'm sure someone talked some sense into her.

Using one of those Photoshop / airbrushing apps that turn you from a life lived 35 year old face (nothing wrong in that )
to something that looks like a 10 year old alien because it does not look human.
Posts that state once again you've overspend on Christmas and oops your children have soooo many presents.

People who respond to each other's post while sitting in the same room. Just talk to each other.

Yes, that airbrush app that makes them look like a pixie!! Can they not see how bad that is?

People who post a message to their child asking if they want to go on an expensive school trip abroad, it's unecessary and it's boasting that they can (apparently) afford 2k for the trip.

People who post photos of their new born babies with snapchat filters (bear ears and noses, geeky glasses and freckles ect) - why the fuck would you want to put a filter on a baby?! It’s almost like saying ‘my baby isn’t cute enough so I had to put the angel filter on her!’

Same goes for toddlers and young children.

• people checking in at hospitals/mystic posts about being not being okay (one of the reasons I deleted Facebook)

• people who are overly materialistic when they post/but then criticise someone else for the same (recently had a guy who dresses his child in designer stuff and posts videos of his kid receiving £100s in cash from “mates” for birthdays having a go at 50cent for having Lego store open exclusively for his own child saying it was perverse. Nothing he wouldn’t do if he could.

• people who are low-key trying to sell the MLM shite and post things like “filling my body with the nutrients it needs to start the day right” and it’s a shake made from some sad little powder and water.

• people who hash tag “if you know you” or whatever it is.

• gravely mundane updates or strange brags about boring things.

• sounds awful but I don’t understand people who tweet on the day a loved one dies... I don’t get where they get the energy from. I imagine just being a big ball of tears on losing someone close.

• people who ask for money constantly because they’ve got themselves in a “sticky situation” (basically spent the rent money on beer) and put up a link to a regular funding page. Grow up!

Posting airbrushed, photoshopped pictures on Insta. (It feckless Instagram)

Sympathy seekers

The 'look what a wonderful family/husband/children I have) arseholes.

....love the crazy cats tho

Fecking Instagram! Bloody decking autocorrect. A5 least it recognises fucking now

These are making me laugh 😆
Does ‘I love you all the world’ even make sense? I always think that when I see it.
‘To the moon and back’ #Blessed and #lilman all make me want to bite my left arm off.

My biggest bugbear is a couple I know who both post gushing declarations of love to each other when everyone close to them knows he’s cheated on her repeatedly. He tells the world how amazing she is and everyone tells them how lucky they are.....

Oh yes, people who post photos of their children with caption “my world” as if it makes them gushy and unusual to love their offspring. Feck off.

Use of hashtags. #livingmybestlife #makingmemories #andrelax #fuckoffyoutwat

I've been reading this thread and then checking my own fb and don't really see any of the things mentioned.

My own fb page is made up of photos of my family at special times of the year and enjoying some trips out, things I've made and competitions that I've won as well as the odd post about work and daft things that have happened at home. Yes, some of it might come across as boastful or bragging but I am allowed to be proud of myself, my family and my friends 🤷I don't post every day, or even every week (sometimes it's 2 or 3 weeks between posts) and quite a lot of my status updates are limited to only a few specific people.

Reading threads like this I wonder if some of my supposed friends are secretly incredibly annoyed by me. If so, they ought to just unfollow or unfriend me though.

People who post photos of accidents .....

Oh god I hate it when people do this: “ beds made, breakfast done, floors mopped, windows cleaned and now time for a movie” or this “chicken roasting, house cleaned, kids all bathed and now time to sit down with some wine”

Yes we get it you’re perfect, can you fuck off now with the lists

@thurmanmurman

I was wondering who Andre Lax is for a second there. Also going to add #fuckoffyoutwat to some of my posts from now on.

Pointless photos that no-one will ever care about e.g. of a cup of coffee.

All of these posts have reminded me why I'm not on any social media.

I have my small WhatsApp groups with real people that are in my life and that is where we share our gazillion food porn pictures, updates of our children and life events and not a 'hun' or 'blessed' in sight.

That's living my best life!

When they re-post from a year ago or 5 years etc
.. no Katy it was boring the 1st time around.
Also "with this one" and "my crazy bunch"
Arrrghhhhh

All of these posts have reminded me why I'm not on any social media.

you do know that you can be on any social media and limit your interaction with only a handful of people, there's absolutely no difference with whatsap.

My cousin who puts never ending posts about her daughter with hash tags. Makingmemories#lovemylife but never goes to visit her disabled father.
People bragging about giving to charity.
People who check into hospital but don’t answer back.
