Stop making it all about you!

On Facebook today and there is a post from a local newspaper about someone who crashed their car at the weekend and sadly died.

The first reply is woman who posts "Aw rip. So lucky another family were not involved. Me and my nieces were supposed to be on that road at the same time but we decided not to go then. If we had our family would have been destroyed"

And at the time 8 people liked her post despite the fact she has made it all about her when she wasn't even there.

It boils my piss. I hate these type of people so much 😡

I fully agree. However if this was for example a drunk driver then I understand it more. I still wouldnt post anything like that, but can understand someone doing so. If this wasn't anything illegal and a sad accident, then people who comment this type of stuff need to get to fuck.

I agree, completely tactless and self involved.

Trauma tourists

It wouldn't 'boil my piss'. I might be mildly irritated. I'd be more put out by an angry response saying "FFS! ITS NOT ALL ABOUT YOU😡"
I think with RTIs it quite common for people to comment 'negatively' if poor driving/decision making was involved.

Totally relate and agree, there are some people you can be speaking to (mother in law 😂) and no matter what the scenario it always comes back to being about her, her, oh and her! Tedious.

A me-rail.

I detest me-rails and see them all of the time on MN.

OP: This is my situation...
Anotherposter: Let me tell you all about me. Me me me me. My experience is worse than anything you've experienced, OP. Me me me.
Successive posters: Oh, poor you, Anotherposter.

I agree with you. I’m sure the families affected won’t be comforted by a public announcement that someone is glad they wasn’t there. A quiet comment face to face with someone you know fair enough, but a comment on social media about how lucky you are that you wasn’t there is really insensitive!

I agree also people who comment on public disasters by replying 'I was there in 1998'

I agree but tbh most social media is solipsism and vanity masquerading as public spirit.

Omg I had one of these! Unfortunately it wasn't her only fault and we are NC now..bliss.
She even managed to turn a conversation about my DDs newly bought prom dress to one about her....

My sil does this with EVERY story someone tells, turns it straight back to her 'similar experience'.

I don't see a lot of public spirit in social media except for good old virtue-signalling.

Yes this, or the ones commenting on someone’s murder saying ‘I live just 20 miles up the road from there’ 🤣

Well that was exactly my point. Virtue signalling is the same thing.
