To think someone is immature

Their Facebook page is full of these oh so cheeky shared posts about big boobs, vibrators, fat women, snowmen with cucumber Willies, often with "oops naughty" as a comment.

Aibu thinking someone is sad if they waste time on this crap?

Why are you friends with them?

Known them all my life. Didn't know this side of them until they got onto social media.

Yeah, social media can be a real eye opener.

If you want to you can unfollow without unfriending, that way you won't see their posts but you'll stay 'friends' if it's awkward and you see them IRL.

I'll do that. It's like you see the real person underneath with this crap.

Cringey, embarrassing and naff.

I would re-evaluate my friendship with someone who posted this kind of thing!

GuyForksAndKnives · 05/11/2023 16:31

These are more. I'm thinking this friend is not on my wavelength.

What sort of person laughs at this though?

I often wish there was an option to "eye roll" rather than like a post, this would be a perfect example why

Yorkshirelass04 · 05/11/2023 18:01

It's like the group 'why is boomer humour so weird?'

Americano75 · 05/11/2023 18:11

Is this person a bit older?

GuyForksAndKnives · 05/11/2023 18:16

@Americano75 a bit older than what? They're in their 40s.

Are they single? I think I could see why...

x2boys · 05/11/2023 18:18

Why do.yoycare?
Just defriend or hide them.

Tinkerbellflowers · 05/11/2023 18:20

I chuckled at the Toy Story one 🙊 My husband asked me what I was laughing at. I showed him, and he rolled his eyes.

Shadowsindarkplaces · 05/11/2023 18:25

I have a friend who shares stuff like it, I roll my eyes, shake my head, and mutter 'ffs Tracy.' She had had the same humour her whole adult life. I have known her since I was 5( started school the same day) we are late 50s. She isn't going to change now.

I immediately pictured someone of my parents' generation, and they're in their 70s.

CesareBorgia · 05/11/2023 18:43

The Toy Story one 😂

I did tbh!

Is this person someone you want to date?

I don’t think someone else having a different sense of humour to you should be an issue, unless you are dating them.

I’m not on SM but as a PP said if you find these thing’s offensive then perhaps unfollow them.

Slipknotted · 05/11/2023 18:50

I’d unfriend asap. I couldn’t look at that stuff. My father, who is 80, has a tendency to forward all kinds of awful racist, sexist ‘humour’ stuff to our family WhatsApp — I don’t think he even reads it himself, far less actually thinks it’s funny. He just thinks it’s what you do when someone sends you a gif. I told him to stop or I was leaving.

LolaSmiles · 05/11/2023 18:59

I don't think most of the ones you've shared are immature particularly. I think, with the exception of the Toy Story one, most seem to be grounded in a low level of misogyny.

The endless willies, boobs sort of posts would make me roll my eyes though.

hellohellothere · 05/11/2023 19:07

My FIL (mid 60s) posts stuff like this on Facebook when he's on the whisky. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed

lookingforMolly · 05/11/2023 19:09

Oh dear I giggled at these how embarrassing

GuyForksAndKnives · 05/11/2023 19:35

@Itsnotchristmasyet it's an old school friend not a potential date. I'm not offended. I think it's pathetic though.

If you’re not offended, then I’d just not look at them.

But if it upsets or annoys you in anyway, then I’d unfollow.

GuyForksAndKnives · 06/11/2023 07:31

Here's a couple more from last night; Unfollowed as PP suggested.
