More Facebook bollocks

[StillCoughingandLaughing]

I would find this slightly wanky from pretty much anyone, to be fair. But the woman who posted it literally cannot fart without posting about it on Facebook. She no more wants to throw her phone away and go ‘off-grid’ than I genuinely wanted the apple I had this morning instead of the big slabs of cake on sale in the office kitchen this morning.

I know it’s only Facebook and it makes bugger all difference to my life, but it just makes me want to pelt her and everyone like her with rotting courgettes! Why do people invent fake personalities like this?!

Bloody picture didn’t post

YABU. Why allow such trivial things to annoy you so much?

Did she get the attention she wanted? "you ok hun?" "I'm with you hun" etc etc

YABU. Why allow such trivial things to annoy you so much?

Why comment if it’s so trivial?

Stop following her. Seriously. Why put yourself through it?

This stuff doesn’t come up on my newsfeed because I’m not friends with people like this

Hide her if you don’t like it

I wouldn't want to live in a cabin in the woods, I've seen the film on Netflix

Why comment if it’s so trivial?

You know what a forum is, right?

You either a) think it’s trivial and yet still allow it to raise your blood pressure when it annoys you or b) think it’s serious and have even more issues.

In the words of Elsa, let it go.

Fb is full of toilet roll memes at the moment

YABU but I suspect you are not going to like being told you are.

You are also going to tell everyone they are WRONG to say you are being unreasonable, and that you are NOT being unreasonable.

You're no better than the woman you're slagging off on facebook to be honest.

FFS if she bothers you THAT much, unfollow her!

I find the "snooze this person for 30 days" button a wonderful thing.

When it expires and they pop up on my timeline again, I decide if I actually missed their FB posts.

If not, I unfriend them - or if I can't unfriend them because it'll cause too much trouble (yes SIL), then I unfollow them and add them to a restricted list so they can hardly see a thing I post.

I'm down to 42 FB friends now.

I have someone who posts wanky motivational quotes almost daily. I don’t know if they’re to motivate her or if she thinks she’s doing a public duty. This miserable old goat doesn’t need any motivation. I’ve hidden her feed.

I'm guilty of keeping these people on Facebook too, just to see what annoying, self unaware shite they come out with next.

It's something I need to work on tbh but its too juicy.

So you’ve made huge assumptions about what I’m going to do, rant about it, and I’M the unreasonable one? I’d take a look in the mirror love.

Some people now dedicate their entire Facebook existence to posting memes and writing Dad jokes, often eliciting one or two likes. And this is a grown man using a snapchat filter with bunny ears thinking he’s hilarious.

You’d think they’d get the message but nope. I’ve muted him for 30 days.

Im with you virgin

I had a clueless MLM bot too, a relative. Posting hourly inane shite. Me and Dsis debated defriending or hiding her time line. But it was just too juicy a car crash.

Im debating hiding two old school friends, who, it turns out are thick as mince and mildly racist. But again. I’m curious as to what they’ll do next.

I don’t get this attitude on here. Someone is just having a moan about someone on Facebook, it’s not the end of the world. If you don’t like the thread, don’t even open it, don’t reply.

Surprisingly, it’s 2020 and there still isn’t a list of acceptable threads to post on Mumsnet. I love the passive aggressive nature of the post though, telling the OP how they think and feel like you know them.

I’m sure the Mumsnet vipers will be along any second to give you a pat on the back, and all that attention you ordered for being deliberately obtuse to a tiny moan.

My recommendation is get rid of FB. I am so stress free without the bollox that FB brings.

I love this sort of rubbish.
Along with the vague references to having been through shit no one else has but keep going with a smile on their face.

The amount of shit posted on FB never ceases to amaze. It’s all shit.

Not on FB never have, never will. All I ever hear about it, on here and irl, is the falseness and the utter tripe that is posted like the example given here.
It's like an imaginary land where you portray the life that you want people to believe you are living.
I'd rather live my real life it's exhausting enough without having to portray a pretend one. YADNBU.

Hehe this was funny, a bit of refreshing internet pettiness. Maybe it will be her Henry David Thoreau phase?

@Thedogscollar That's so true! I've never been on it and never will, I just find it so cringeworthy.

This is why I don’t do social media and never have. So I don’t have to see shit like this. Now you’ve just made me see it OP and it’s irritated me - thanks.

For people over the age of 20, Facebook is 10% of your randomly assembled misfits aka “Friends” posting stupid shit every week, while the other 90% take the occasional gawp at their stupid inspiring bollocks before quickly scrolling down to one of those life draining video feeds consisting of Michael Mcintyre clips and
those badly acted motivational life lessons vids (“don’t judge a book by its cover bro!)
