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’

@Poorlykitten

I have one friend who posts ridiculously upbeat statuses. Every. Single. Day. Along the lines of...’Happy Tuesday! Go out and live your best life. I’m living mine!!’... ‘It’s Wednesday spread some love! Smile at a stranger!’...Thursday is here! Best day of the week for achieving your goals! Go out there and smash it!’ I want to hit him with a brick.

With a brick Brilliant!!

I have just seen a ' real life one ' . Neighbour has a 60th birthday balloon and their 60th birthday cards displayed in the window pointed towards the road so everyone can see.

Awww that's pretty cute!

A friend of mine posted a photo of me post c-section and drugged up to the eyeballs next to her looking beautiful holding my newborn Dd, and tagged me in it,
Thanks a lot love

I have a tedious as fuck vegan friend who constantly posts about being vegan. Fine - tell us about your lovely pulse burger by all means, but NO, she has to endlessly post shock pictures of dead animals/slaughterhouses/graphic images of cruelty and so on. If anyone dares to challenge her or suggest that there might be some ethical farms/supermarkets/whatever, she just ups the ante and starts posting disgusting pictures of someone eating a blood sandwich or whatever. Usually accompanied by vitriolic attacks along the lines of FLESH EATING BASTARDS and in CAPITAL LETTERS.

It's relentless - several times a day, every day.

The people that bore me the most are the oversharing of small-world gossip with the inevitable 'If you've got something to say, you can say it to my face' rubbish or the 'People say they're your friends, but when the shit hits the fan.... blah blah blah'. These are the same ones who practically piss their pants with excitement if they ever get to post "checked into St Andrew Hospital' so that they can wait for the 300 million 'you ok hun? posts. And you never find out what's wrong. Or at middnight you get a quick 'Thanks everyone. I'm fine - just had to fill in a form'. FUCK OFF.

These people ALSO mark themselves as 'safe' even when they are 50 miles from whatever has happened. So yep. Fuck off again.

* Another good one.....

Any recommendations for a good cleaner?

Seen this quite a few times. Translates as 'Get me, I can afford a cleaner.'*

Might differ by area but when I see this type of thing it's invariably more like 'I can't afford or won't ever bother to act on this but waste your time anyway'. Usually by the same people who post the same inane, and very search-able questions like 'what time does Asda open?'

“I have one friend who posts ridiculously upbeat statuses. Every. Single. Day.... I want to hit him with a brick”

OMG... you have made me think of #teacher5oclockclub ... honestly the most self-righteous virtue signalling hashtag I have ever seen. Full of things like...:

“up bright and early to mark my little darlings spellings with hot cup of tea and the cat before bouncing out with the dog, coming home to prep my first 476 lessons of the morning, have a shower, look fabulous and be at my desk by 7.15am ready for another day of teaching #motivated #inspirational #someothershittycliche. Wishing you all a fabulous day”

Argh. Makes me want to puke.

@SemiFeralDalek sorry for your loss

@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!

I’m ashamed to say that this made me laugh out loud. I have a very dark soh though.

The 'Happy Tuesday' people are quite often multi level marketing bots who have been told by their up lines that they must make positive affirmations every day and there is no room for negative status updates. It's this law of attraction BS 🙄

@SugarbabyMilly ... and teachers who wake up at 5 o clock

One friend put a photo of her son's first poo in a toilet. She did say later she must have been mad.

@StressMagnet

My sil posts pictures of her in her undies in bed next to my bil.

No amount of brain bleach can get rid of that image. Sil posts pics of herself in her undies everyday. Every. Day.

She has a lovely body, however i dont really want to see it. I even less want to see them semi naked in bed. I normally have her on a rolling "hide" cycle.

Eurgh, she would deffo be added to my unfollow list, attention seeking at it's worst!

@hparkins

I have a girl on facebook who breaks up with the father of her children regularly.

her latest status about him was to claim that she never really loved him anyway, fancied his brother more and accused him of shagging his sister behind her back.

amazing.

This actually made me chuckle hahaha

I don't have anything as interesting as affairs or naked husbands unfortunately.

I have one woman who I knew many years ago that is a massive over sharer. She met her husband at 13 and had three kids, lives in the same area, kids go to the same school she did. I think she must just be really fucking bored.

Dinner with hubs, thanks mum and dad for babysitting
Snuggled up on the couch with hubs
Movie with the kids and hubby
Mmm look at our dinner
Love my babies
Playing monopoly
Having ice cream

All day long. Every part of her day.

I was the unwitting oversharer but it was my sister’s fault! Just after my dad was born, my sister posted a very cute picture of me holding him in hospital - without realising my boob was out! Apparently her Facebook blew up with notifications from just about everyone she knew within a few minutes advising her that she might want to take it down! My dad only told me about two years later because I’d been having pre-natal mental health problems and they were worried how I’d take it at the time. Thankfully by that point I was well again and could just laugh it off.

Mind you, I did the same. I had a beautiful pic of ds at a few weeks old, he looked so cute, I showed everyone. When he was about six months old dh and I were looking at it and we both suddenly realised my boob and nipple were right next to his head. Dh still laughs at the memory of the reality of the situation hitting me one step at a time. “Oh my god, oh my god, I’ve shown everyone this picture!! I’ve shown your dad! I’ve shown my boss! I showed the chap who runs the chippe!!”

Could’ve at least gotten some free chips for it!

I came away from crapbook a few years ago and never got into Insta for this reason. The nonsense was actually making me feel quite negative. I love not seeing any of this anymore!

I don't get any of this on my Facebook. However I will say with things like sharing you have had a smear and to remind women to book theirs can be useful. Obviously I am talking of a written post not a video of you getting it done

Pish like this every day!

@piefacedClique

Pish like this every day!

I have a few people posting shit like this on my fb. Without fail the people who do are attention-seeking and incapable of self reflection. They also tend to post the round robins with 'I bet my friends won't re-post this'.

Not social media, but I have an Etsy shop. A regular customer who I know is in her 60s told me she was treating herself (to something from my shop) as she had to go to the doctors because she had a really itchy, sore loo-loo (her word, not mine).

Please please don’t tell me things like this. I’m still feeling sick long after your undercarriage is less... I can’t think of a nice word, so I’m going to say troubled.

I have a “friend” who posts a lot of very crude stuff about masturbation and sex in general it’s just so so desperate and cringe. I also have her on a rolling “hide” cycle. Weird thing is she’s not like this in real life.

Well block her then! Why would anyone put up with that bollocks?!

A friend who posted their entire drama of their husband staying out late one night and putting statuses of does anyone know where he is? His phones off I haven’t heard off him for hours (he was out drinking with his mates). The next day the photos of the kettle and toaster he’d bought her to make up for being awol and rolling in at 6am!!! She was genuinely made up to get them I think I’d have wrapped them round his head hahaha

I still reel about this one, several years later.....

A younger lady who lives near me very sadly had a stillbirth full term BUT posted it on facebook with photo's of her holding her poor little one. ON FACEBOOK! To this day I can't get my head around it.

I think the problem is that a lot of things are shared on Facebook. We announced both of my pregnancies on Facebook because it was the quickest way to tell the majority of people we knew. We then announced when both babies were born.

If she announced her pregnancy, she would have been overwhelmed with people asking for news if she hadn’t said something.
