How often am I seeing this on Sm these days 🙈

‘And just like that..such and such is 7’ etc etc 🙄

Aibu in doing another massive eye roll at seeing this yet again or am I just a miserable bugger?

OP posts:
Ahhhcantthinkofag00dname · 10/09/2021 20:36

So agree with the annoying nature of what some people post on social media! Here are some more irritating ones…
“She’s only gone and… [insert natural / obvious event such as “finished primary school” or “turned 6”]”
“Mallorca, you’ve been amazing” - since when do you personify a geographical location?”
😡🤬😡🤬

RedHotChiliChips · 10/09/2021 20:43

I so agree OP! I have a local mum friend who's children have SMASHED their parents evening/ school reports for the last six years.

nannykatherine · 10/09/2021 20:45

Really ..
But why would they 🤷🏽‍♂️

Hellotoallmyfans · 10/09/2021 20:47

God, this is why I'm not on any SM. Yuck.

Yaaaas Queen" makes my teeth itch

Yes, what is all this Queen nonsense? Along with stuff about polishing each other’s crowns?

It seems to go hand in hand with #bekind. Although unfortunately #bekind types are often total arses

Emmylouisa · 10/09/2021 20:49

Wow, what insightful posts. I'm not on Facebook. It's strange why people do this if they are abusive. Surely not all are

tillytoodles1 · 10/09/2021 20:53

It's not as bad as people having a "cheeky Nando's". Why is it cheeky?

HonoreDeBallsache · 10/09/2021 20:59

OP, social media is the problem. MN is the closest I get to SM, and I'm reasonably content. I suggest you bin the social media, and bin the weird posters at one fell swoop.

ThePlumVan · 10/09/2021 21:00

I’m with @BlueBell50 - I’ve only recently joined FB and I just don’t get the fuss at all ! I look at friends accounts with thousands of friends/likes and it just looks like a job maintaining it - what a pita !

BorrowBox the app to get free library books including audiobooks is far far superior. Pass that on.

EggAndHasBeans · 10/09/2021 21:15

It’s the same as couples who gushily wish each other happy birthday/anniversary and say how much they love each other

I have one of these on my FB, so hard not to mention you can hear their constant arguments from the street.

MiniJellyBeans · 10/09/2021 21:19

Agree that #makingmemories is the most irritating hashtag ever invented.

Another overused phrase at the moment is "....not gonna lie...." - why would you feel the need to point that out before you make any random mundane statement? Hmm

annacondom · 10/09/2021 21:20

@Extraslice

Sort of related but I hate ‘gives me the ick’ I have never heard anyone say this IRL but MN are obsessed with it
Yes! I've never seen/heard it IRL either. It really, er, winds me up. As does "Ewww". Whatever happened to "Ugh"?
C0c01823 · 10/09/2021 21:47

Honestly why do you care so much and judge people enough to come on here and have a good old b*tch. Your friends presumably?! want to share the things thay they're proud of! I bet half of you wouldn't say these things to people in real life, I just don't get itb. God if we all thought the same, spoke the same, looked the same wouldn't life be boring... So let people do what they want even if it's different to what you would do

MorriseysGladioli · 10/09/2021 22:00

So, what you're saying, in essence is "You do you"?

Saintsofsaint · 10/09/2021 22:06

Allllll the arguments happening on this thread.

C0c01823 · 10/09/2021 22:39

You do you hun 😉

BloodyDetails · 10/09/2021 22:48

God yeah the vaguebooking and misery plopping status updates 😬

Someone I know once posted "is 999 free from a mobile" at about 11.30pm.... I mean FFS why would you ask FB that? Are you really going to wait for someone to see it and answer before you phone 999? Really? When it would have taken exactly the same number of key presses to just fucking google it 🙄

MorriseysGladioli · 10/09/2021 22:49
Grin I really think I ought to join facebook just for these gems!
MorriseysGladioli · 10/09/2021 22:51

I can imagine some poor sod writhing in agony on the floor in the background while silly bollocks looks st their phone waiting to see if 999 is free.

Tulips15 · 10/09/2021 22:54

Hate it!!!!!

Blinky21 · 10/09/2021 23:28

Fed up of seeing pictures of children lying next to flashcards saying "3 months" then "4 months"..yeah I get it, your child is getting older each month, it's what happens

RAFHercules · 10/09/2021 23:47

My first born
My second born
Hmm
Don't you know their names then?

RAFHercules · 10/09/2021 23:52

Also photos of dogs captured "I love my Hoomans".

Trumanshow · 11/09/2021 00:30

My Nan is 88 this year and uses Facebook regularly! She loves it for photos of all of us Grandkids and her Great Grandkids!

Notbeforemycoffeeplease · 11/09/2021 00:33

You are kind of a miserable bugger (your phrase not mine), the more you’re on social media, the more you’ll be irritated by it.
