The worst cases of oversharing you’ve seen on social media (lighthearted)

[Anon778833]

In my case a friend of mine took a picture of a bunch of tissues on her bedside table and posted it onto FB with the caption ‘The sign of a good night. I’m shagged’.

Also on Facebook - guy posts a picture of his back, covers in scratches with the caption ‘no wonder she’s pregnant’

@Dullardmullard me too

Acquaintance who signs it at the gym on Feb every morning without fail. She lost loads of weight a few years ago, rumour has it she had a gastric band and it has nothing to do with the gym.
Also my cousin who had an acrimonious split with her DH 6-7yrs ago. Still posting passive aggressive quotes after all this time.

Feb - fb

Sharing of cute cat pictures repeatedly is absolutely allowed.

@WildOrchids67 I want to see!

@Gilly12345

Someone I know posts every day pictures of her sweaty face and updates of her visit to the gym, later on photos of her meals (some of them look like a dogs dinner) so why bother?

Also lots of photos of her younger Daughter and videos but nothing much of her older Daughter, blatant favouritism.

It’s just all seems to much and perhaps needy.

Social media is sadly very good at making it very obvious who the favoured child/children are in a family. I can think of one Fb friend in particular who has nothing good to say about one of her children and it's very unfortunate.

@SemiFeralDalek spot on! She's every right to post those photos. Heartbreaking. People are so selfish. Some are anyway.

About 2 days after Christmas, screenshots a friend posted of a conversation between my friends fiancee and a cam girl he'd been paying to basically show him her bum hole . My friend was posting all the fucking shit, and bastard name calls about finding out ( she had recently birthed their daughter ) They are still together and we have to act like we've forgotten

The 'show him her bum hole bit' made me giggle like an immature kid 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Really nasty

@PowerhouseOfTheCell

A friend of a friends mum tagged every family member in a check in post with the caption 'Bill tried to kill himself again, waiting to be seen ' The worst was a year later when she shared the memory of the event!

Omg that is awful

I'm a proper nosy bugger, and I love it all! Surely the only interesting thing about social media is the gossip? The only reason I come on here because most of my fb/insta friends unfortunately don't post all the sordid bum hole viewing details of their lives 🤷‍♀️

It does get me a bit when the cat isn’t cute though. But hey - you can’t tell someone their baby is ugly.

Cant compete on this thread but very much enjoying others’ stories!

Bizarrely I also have an acquaintance who posts sweaty pics of herself “abs done, phew” etc etc Every. Day. She could comfortably hide behind a blade of grass so not sure why she feels the need to share her constant exercising.

The bizarre bit though is she also clearly has a much favoured child - the elder one barely gets a mention. 😬

Now we are having to suffer her home improvements. It’s constant poorly concealed stealth boasting 😬 “Loving my roof lantern” everything is hashtagged for maximum brand boasting

I call Instagram Boastagram - it’s basically perfect and project. No wonder it gives kids MH issues. It gives me them!

My friend who is on some sort of sex TripAdvisor; format being that you shag people and then rate them. She read me her ratings.

Many years ago I knew someone who filmed the birth of his child from every angle, including the 'crowning'. He said it was so his son would know how wonderful his mother was. So somewhere there is a 40+ year old man who has seen bits of his mother that he almost certainly doesn't want to see. What a good job there was no Facebook back then.

What?! How is that a thing?

Good and funny thread, but with a disclaimer. If someone's my friend their little foibles don't annoy me. One of mine is a real foodie and beer connoisseur, and makes me welcome by cooking lovely meals when I visit. I'm not going to get uptight that she likes to post images of her creations. That's part of what makes her her.

As far as I'm concerned, anyone who is bereaved or facing a terminal diagnosis can face that pain in any way they like. They are, after all, the ones having to live it. The dispassionate, callous comments about the baby on this thread are quite upsetting to read. IMO, anyone who takes this attitude about someone on their SM should do that person a favour and instantly defriend them. No one needs 'friends' like that, especially at the most heartbreaking times of their lives.

'I know which of my friends will bother to post BLAH' is the sort of passive-aggressive shit that bugs the liver out of me, on and offline. The hospital check ins and the mysterious 'I'm so upset' posts plus performative relationships are also quite sad ways of seeking attention.

The horror of unleashing a tide of 'huns' in my general direction is too nauseating to contemplate. As for 'retweet if you love your husband', malarkey, there's a distinct pattern to this. Decree absolute hitting the doormat in 3, 2, 1 ...

[quote QueenPaw]@SugarbabyMilly I set up a page for my cat. Now if I don't post on it, I get messages asking when the cat will be back on FB
"Hang on, he's charging his iPad" [/quote]
I love that.

I lost my DS2 at just shy of 22 weeks almost six months ago so the posts on this thread sent me off.

I rarely post at all on social media, but if anyone was disgusted at the sight of my tiny boy then I'd be happy for them to remove themselves from my life permenantly.

He was born alive and lived for an hour or so. You can't tell which photos he's breathing in and in which ones he's passed on from his birth.

He is my son, he's gone forever, I have very few pictures that I would share of him. His little life was so short and so precious. But I'll be damned if im supposed to hide him away to spare the judgemental sensibilities of others.

Wow... I have seen the exact thing in a series on Prime (called Upload), but didn't know there was one in real life. I recently read that Uber drivers rate their passengers. I thought that was bad enough!

@Mousetown

I know someone who announced their pregnancy by making a sign that said “daddy forgot to pull out”

Oh good grief, that actually made me shudder. Urrrgh!

I don't know what service they use, but my niece livestreams her making breakfast to her friends (and they to her) EVERY morning.

What the flip is THAT about ? I am uncivil for about an hour after getting out of bed and I look like I've been dragged backwards through a hedge for a similar period.

Facebook 🤣not never ever no way no how

Someone I know and her bf got drunk one NY, and he literally posted a picture of their dirty bedsheets with massive wet stain in the middle with a comment sayin “lol that was a happy NY lol”.

Vom.
