Friend and Facebook 'car crash'

Just had to get opinions on friend's facebook behaviour.

So yesterday a friend 'crashed her car' in the snow. It wasn't a crash just a car had slid forward slightly into her car. No damage whatsoever. What is strange is that her first thought (with two children in the car) is to take a picture to post on facebook.

No phoning to ask a friend for help, no sorting anything out. Just literally sat on facebook waiting for the comments to come in.

Even after offers of help, she waited and waited in the freezing cold until I eventually sent DH to go and rescue her.

Even after the event, when he had pulled all her stuff home, she was still playing the drama out on facebook.

Urgh...I just had to rant.

Why does she do this? The posts are constant...my kitchen's flooded (picture of kitchen filled with water), my child is ill (picture of crying, ill child), I've lost £50 out of my pocket, etc,etc

I know where she’s coming from on that one...the responses are often every bit as irritating as the original bid for attention.
It’s the despair you feel over people being so easily led and willing to indulge it.
I regularly take wee breaks from Facebook as depending on my own frame of mind, it can be a glaring insight into what a bunch of fuds we’ve become. I would get rid of it entirely but frankly, I fear I would lose touch with the world at large if I did.

I like Facebook but I hate it too.

She was clearly just waiting for you to send your DH, must have a crush on him or something!
