So blessed, date night, Love my man so much (no one belongs to anyone else unless you gave birth to them and even then they could fuck off and ditch you), feeling joyful, feeling thankful - the list goes on - what are yours?

I have one!

Someone I know has posted a picture of boxer shorts with pictures of their face on and the comment that their partner (who seems to be delaying their wedding...) won't be allowed out with the "lads" without wearing them.

I have no words to respond to her.

Surely a contender for worst FB post ever?

loveautum · 05/01/2020 15:06

@BeingATwatItsABingThing your post made me laugh especially the throwback part, I know exactly what you mean 😂 I also find these people post like a million photos of their wedding and I'm bloody bored now 🤣🤣

In fact I've found pressing the like button has become hard work these days 😆🤣

I find myself annoyingly invested. I want to see how she drags her wedding into every post no matter how loose.

Today’s was:
‘Happy birthday to my gorgeous husband! I still can’t believe I get to call you that! ’

I think if I posted that often about our wedding, my DH would have left me by now.

MrsBrentford · 05/01/2020 15:31

I don’t think I am guilty of any of these things 😂😂

Currently annoying are people “showing support” for Australia by sharing a heart with the Aussie flag on.

That’s not going to put the fucking fires out is it?! Hmm

pinkstripeycat · 05/01/2020 15:34

Together for 25 years (since we were 7) married for 2.

pinkstripeycat · 05/01/2020 15:35

Today’s was:
‘Happy birthday to my gorgeous husband! I still can’t believe I get to call you that! ’ Confused

Yuk!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 05/01/2020 15:45

Why are the husbands/wives/children always gorgeous?!? Why are they never beautiful, intelligent, thoughtful...? Always gorgeous.

Letsallscreamatthesistene · 05/01/2020 15:51

the posts that are obviously attention seeking, but then when asked the poster offers no clarification or info.

too many posts about peoples kids. im sorry because I know its a popular thing, but I hate them. The other day I saw someone on my FB had posted that her baby had done his 1st solid poo. Same woman posted a pic of her kid in a hat with the caption, 'wearing a hat'. I unfriended her after that.

Londongirl86 · 05/01/2020 15:56

My little family. Whether they one kid, two kids, five kids.

Butterfly3005 · 05/01/2020 16:30

I hate the posts, usually the ones on a community page, that start with.... "To the person who.....!"

Can't effing stand them!!!!

user1471590586 · 05/01/2020 16:40

Excessive use of hashtags.

thecatsarecrazy · 05/01/2020 16:59

Woman I worked with is always on f.b posting about her man. Posting pics of them together, How blessed she is. They have a 16 year old son, dont live together and only just got engaged. All seems a bit weird to me.

thecatsarecrazy · 05/01/2020 17:03

I have a lovely person as a friend on f.b but I had to unfollow rather than completely unfriend because I got fed up with endless pictures of food. If there's a birthday or whatever all the pictures of food and presents. It doesn't interest me

HomeMadeMadness · 05/01/2020 17:04

This sounds mean but there's a woman I know whose always posting about her kids' academic achievements to the extent that she pastes in their school reports and any mention of them in school magazine is highlighted and posted. It annoys me because one is more academic than the other and he gets way more mentions. The other does a lot to be proud of he's a sweet, kind boy but rarely gets spoken about since it's harder to show off about.

MrsBrentford · 05/01/2020 17:14

I have a friend who is lovely IRL but boasts about her children and their hobbies a lot on FB which I find very irritating (and I can imagine others do too).

Also have a friend who is just incredibly smug, has twins and bangs on and on about it like it’s some humongous achievement above all else.

I am a bitch Blush

anon2000000000 · 05/01/2020 17:21

I hate pictures of peoples food when they're out for dinner.

MrsBrentford · 05/01/2020 17:23

I have a friend and he has quite a bad and obvious eating disorder and he always posts pictures of food, him eating and meals Sad

Ticklemeelmo · 05/01/2020 17:49

People who immediately jump on the death of celebrities they previously hadn't given a second thought about with RIP posts.

Anything that refers to 'being bad at adulting'. These always come from people who are at least 30 years old.

Repeatedly posting long attention-seeking woe is me posts over very trivial things.

That fake news picture of the empty-ish benches in the House of Commons with various captions on it about MPs not bothering to turn up to vote on XYZ issue.

loveautum · 05/01/2020 19:03

@BeingATwatItsABingThing I know exactly what you mean. In fact I got married this year and we only just got the professional photos back 6 months later completely amazing. Got married in Scotland near the highlands and loads of outdoors pics in wellies ect looked fabulous. I only posted 2 on Instagram and 2 on Facebook and a few people posted their photos who attended just a small wedding. Afterwards friends commented and said put more pics up and I responded with don't want to bore people 😂😂but there are some gorgeous pics of my 2 year old DD.

Actually one of the things I find annoying and I never do, is post the same damm pictures on Instagram and Facebook. Bloody hell, post something else not the same blummin picture 🤪

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 05/01/2020 19:19

I got married in 2018. When I got the pictures through, I put them into three albums on Facebook. That way people could look through them if they wanted! Like you, I don’t continually repost.

cleanasawhistle · 05/01/2020 19:19

I came off Facebook last year for most of the reasons already mentioned.

But the one that did it for me was a friend put her son had a cold and he was feeling rough.
I messaged saying hope he feels better soon.
A few days later she added she couldnt believe that only one person had been intouch to asked how her kid was......

I just thought OMFG because I replied to you first post was I then supposed to come back on everyday to check up on an 8 year old with a cold.

Deleted the whole thing and I dont miss it.

Bananaman123 · 05/01/2020 19:26

People posting pics of ill child

Screamqueenz · 05/01/2020 19:35

I personally love to hear that my friends are doing well. But my FB is restricted to actual friends.

PhilSwagielka · 05/01/2020 20:39

A now ex-friend used to post one-word posts that were things like 'sob' or 'sigh'. Nothing else. Just 'sigh'. And then I'd ask her what was wrong and she'd get mad. She also posted EVERY FUCKING TIME she had a cup of tea or something to eat. I don't mind people posting the odd food pic but no-one cares about every single food or drink you have.

She also posted a photo of herself looking sad and encouraging people to cheer her up. It was so manipulative.

TheTruthAboutLove · 05/01/2020 21:00

The best ones as a PP has said are the ones who post in the community groups with;

“TO THE MAN IN THE WHITE VAN WHO JUST CUT ME UP ON THE ROUNDABOUT IN THE TOWN CENTRE. DID YOU KNOW I HAVE 2 INNOCENT KIDS IN THE BACK YOU COULD HAVE KILLED US ALL”

I would absolutely love for the driver to reply, but these statuses are written so people ask ‘OMG bbz r u ok hun?’ or ‘can’t believe that the bastard’. It’s all attention seeking. Those are the worst ones!

There are many others, the passive aggressive ones, the fake competitions, the ones with spoilt children. All boring and why I don’t go on it much.
