To ask what has made you cringe lately on social media?

[TinaTeaspoons]

1. Ex colleague making a video of herself recounting an episode that she had in the shower after seeing a spider in there. Still wrapped up in towels she was and clearly just wanted lots of attention, likes and laughs.
2. One of my colleagues is with a guy who she thinks craps rainbows even though many of us find him arrogant and rude. She posts photos of herself looking up at him in a simpering and submissive way and it's truly cringeworthy.
3. Mll lady who says she can now retire her husband, how she is the luckiest girl in the world and posts everyday about how blessed she is and how everyone else can be just like her if they say 'yes' to the opportunity of selling her products.

Yep, and his face definitely screams “my mum made me come”

Don't forget the stream of gushing comments underneath these kind of photos.

"You look gorgeous, hun"
"Beautiful inside and out"

Whereas I try to post a genuine, unfiltered photo of myself and receive very few Likes and comments after it's been posted for hours.

Don't know why I fucking bother.

Yep! We have a lot of this one ours. One recently moaned about someone spray painting dog poo to make other people aware that it was there. Her response was to take a picture and tell us if we're so bothered about the dog poo just pick it up.

No thank you Dawn, I don't want to go around picking up other peoples dog shit.

So true, I know a local woman who is always recommending local hairdressers (her hair is awful imo) and coffee shops and flower shops. It has the opposite effect on me. I was going to go and get a chai soy latte but kimwannabe faux dashian had done one of her "commercials" for this coffee shop earlier in the day and it put me right off going there.

Oh gosh and people posting things written by or said by their 3 year old which are clearly the work of an adult. Like, “my Thomas is such an old soul, today he looked at the sunset and said, “mum I’ve only seen a few of these with you but knowing that there’ll be a time when you won’t be here with me to see them makes them all the more beautiful, is that the point of how fleeting it is?” Can’t believe he’s only 3!”

And then comments of “I know where he gets it from mama!”. Awful, I hate it so much!

😂😂😂

People posting pictures if pregnancy tests asking "is this postive?" If you aren't sure take another one. Attention seeking and annoying.

I know someone who does this. Bikini pics and posts things like "love your body" and "I've worked so hard to get here" she has minimum followers.

Mundane posts like:

"Bin shop, tea done, kids in bed, nice fresh bedding on, that's me done"

Who gives a fuck, honestly?!

Yep, agree with this. I live near a park with a clock tower that chimes throughout the day (they turn it off at night). There are a couple of people on the park's Facebook page who claim it's damaging their mental health and trying to get other people to complain about the chimes. The clock tower has been there and chiming for decades - do your research before buying a house close by! Best bit is all the other posts from people who love it which winds the haters up even more.

When someone goes out for meal with friends as couples and they all 'check-in' on SM, followed by approx 10-15 photos of various individuals gurning and acting pissed. Fair enough...have a good night!

But then come a further 50 photos and reels of same gurning faces, each plate of food that's been served, empty glasses...yawn...then the following day further posts saying 'I forgot to post these last night' with a constant drip feed of 25 photos every hour for 24 hours.

Fuck me!! We get it! You had a cracking night but how could you have possibly enjoyed it fully whilst constantly having your phone glued to your hand knowing you'd only be taking photos and selfies for attention seeking on social media later?!?!? 🤦‍♀️🙄

Anyone who uses the word 'adulting' when talking about things like sorting out insurance, ringing the gp receptionist etc.

It shows up how endless adolescence has become

I thought this this morning when all 6 people who had been out for dinner posted similar variations of the same photos. 😂

I saw an interview in the DM where a 27yo described herself as just a baby 🤦🏻‍♀️

Lord so many. I often say I keep facebook only to work out who the numpties are in my life. Mind you, I post cute animal themes so am sure I am the numpty in other peoples' lives.

But the mum at school who posts braggy posts about her new car, her 23 day safari tour and always ends it with hastag 'lovelivingmortagefree' is vomit worthy. (I mean fuck off).

The older church stalwart who has full on fb fights with her adult daughter and seems to have completely failed to realise that we can all read it too.

Currently the kid in DS2's class who is 10 and who has a facebook account and who posts the most awful things about other kids and his mum posts laughing emojis (although to be fair I expect the school is going to get involved with that one.... )

And the woman in her 50s who posts 'Can't do my morning walk today, feel so low' and when people ask her what's up she says 'I'll pm you hun'.

😂

100% this

@HesterShaw1 oh god yes the legs / feet by a pool.

Wtaf.

I can remember, many years ago, it taking a photo of scenery / the pool etc, you would shuffle your feet out the way if they happened to be in shot, ruining the pic.

Now people actually interntionally stick their feet / legs in the bottom of these photos and I never really understand why.

Also, on a similar vein, something that bugs me but possibly no one else has an issue with. Photos of plates of half eaten food. I'm not particularly bothered by food photos, if somebody is out for dinner or has made something, and it's nicely presented. But why do they have their food covered fork rammed into it? It gives me the ick and I just think would look so much better without it.

@LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet
Agree. Awful.

The dancing and the pointing. I can barely watch some of them.

Also, the ones that just stand there making a stupid / simpering face at the camera whilst that computerised voice reads out their caption / issue / whatever the hell it is.

Agree about the gushing of ‘hubs’. A colleague who is shagging a member of our senior management team puts a story on about her ‘fit’ husband every single day. Not for enough to quit your affair though

Can't believe I forgot about these ones!
When they post things like sick of this shit or check into a&e, someone comments the 'u OK hun' obviously followed by the 'I'll pm you babe' or the 'I will be, onwards and upwards'
The fuck the haters posts, literally no one cares about you, they only hate these posts.
The pointless list of things they done that day, washing, dinner, shopping. Well fucking done. It's worse with the 'bath, fresh bedding, fresh PJs' if that's only posted once a week does that mean you only bathe and change your PJs once a week?
Taking photos of shit dinners. If they're good, fair enough, but when your meats still breathing, your gravy is like cat piss and your Yorkshire pudding is frozen you're just embarrassing yourself.

As are you.

When someone gets engaged and they have a photo of the ring and its says "I said yes!!! I can't wait to marry my best friend!" 🤮

I know someone whose daughter is into performing arts and she insists on posting videos of her performing constantly.
