Aibu: Don't be disappointed, i've chosen those who i thought would make this fun

[TwitTwoobee]

Probably a billion threads on this but i've been tagged and seen loads of this "wear your crown" business on Facebook,
But the line "if i havent tagged you dont be disappointed, i've chosen those who i thought would make this fun" seems a bit ironic in terms of the whole "be kind" malarky going around.

Glad to say that I haven't seen any of these posts on Facebook. Obviously my friends and I are all far too boring!

I have one friend who has been posting loads of "be kind" stuff and then vitriolic posts about named politicians. Consistency does not seem to be a consideration!

*eenymeenyminyme

I thought exactly the same.
I've reposted it but changed the words to 'I can only tag 50 people' so it's a logistical thing rather than me choosing which of my friends are fun or not.*
Right...
It's the same thing if someone is upset they're not one of the 50 though isn't it?

Not quite the same but this meme sprung to mind:

I dont understand why you would be friends with people who do this kind of thing?!

I have seen quite a few of these but am yet to be tagged, so am glad that people know that I don't go in for this utter shite

Excluding people is hardly being kind, is it. Well not in my book. I can't abide all that chosen few shite.

Can't help thinking there's a certain amount of irony complaining in an anonymous online forum about this sort thing. If these people are friends (which if you've been tagged or can see the post if reasonable to assume they are) just tell them you don't like it, hide the post, unfollow them. Or just unfriend them.

I’ve been tagged in fucking loads, and I don’t really understand why because I am boring and no fun.
I haven’t responded to any

I haven’t got fb so absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Life without it has been great, 10 weeks and counting.

I thought exactly the same when I saw it! I didn't get tagged which clearly means I'm no fun. I didn't know if to be hurt by this or laugh at the irony of the post!

@Kaykay066 I hope he's OK now so worrying for you

I hardly have any FB friends so I'm lucky enough to escape stuff like this. I wouldn't think better of people who do it

It's just a much more subtle version of the old chain letter "threat", isn't it - "please don't be the one to break the chain, please don't let everyone down" - except that it's SO much MORE public because you've been tagged in it, so if you don't do it, all those other people will also know that you Haven't Done It and are therefore Letting The Side Down.

FUck off.

I've been tagged, I'm not doing it. If I were to do it, I would do it on the person's post who tagged me, not on my own timeline.

Occasionally I see a post that I feel deserves to be shared but if it has ANY of that coercive language in it then I delete it all before posting it on my timeline. I will not be party to coercing people by guilt/fear into posting something.

I never participate in daft memes but I never ever get tagged either...

"if i havent tagged you dont be disappointed, i've chosen those who i thought would make this fun"

Utter tripe, the person who tagged me knows full well I am not fun, just making up the numbers.

I haven’t been tagged, but I’m not fun at all. I never even join in the one where you post a heart emoji in the colour of your knickers, so all the boys would wonder why - or something like that. Men that I know, couldn’t care less about my underwear, i’m sure of that.

I'm so glad that I have no idea what you're talking about.

Multiple tags. I am disappointed. I am disappointed that you think I'm the sort of vacuous narcissistic sheep that would respond to this lazy virtue signalling shite.

Urgh. Reminds me of the ridiculous "no make selfie for breast cancer" thing. As if you're doing something 'brave' by not putting on make-up. Presumably to get a "aww you look so pretty Hun!".

Glad it’s not just me.

I’ve been where she was just before she made it final. And it’s a horrific place to be.
But this be kind bollocks is pissing me off because the same people posting it are the ones i see being nasty/ judgmental/ cruel/ anything other than kind!

I just think fuck OFF. You didn’t know her. You didn’t give a shit about her before so why now? Oh that’s right for the ‘likes’.

It’s awful that Caroline is dead. It’s awful that she saw no other way for herself and didn’t receive the help she so badly needed. She has no doubt impacted on many people who will miss her dearly.
But this ‘look at me look at me!’ Shit in her name helps nobody but your own ego if you’re putting pics up of yourself in her memory 😡

I don’t do Facebook but, from this thread alone, it all sounds so very shallow and, possibly hypocritical.
