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’

[Chickychickydodah]

Pregnancy tests live, gender reveals and stupid pranks, I hate them all and don’t care!
I don’t know these people ...l

Lots of tissues can mean bad hay fever.

A friend of a friend from my home town whom I had on my Facebook friends list.

He posted a picture of his penis featuring genital herpes lesions, to shame the woman who supposedly gave it to him.

[Quirrelsotherface]

but she now posts the same posts as "Facebook memories" every day! So we had 9 months, and then we had the 9 months again



I have a family member who posts every little miniatue of her life but in the tone that she is the first person to have ever gone for a night out with her mates, the first to ever take her DC's to the zoo, the first to have a toddler who loves puddles and mud. It's tedious

[BiscoffAddict]

Someone I used to be friends with once uploaded a photo of themselves sitting on the toilet at work.

@Badtiming21 you win first prize

Badtiming - OMG, that's hilarious, I must have boring friends, I've never seen anything like that.

[DIshedUp]

I had a picture of a child's poo! Poo was outside the potty because of some hilarious story,. I'm not squeamish at all but I wasn't expecting it and the whole thing is still etched on my brain several years later!

[KindnessCrusader]

Quite a few high drama affair reveals on my timeline. All still together and I have to hide them because I'm so embarrassed that I know...but everyone knows!

[Chocolatebiscuitcollection]

All the instagrammers who pimp out their children for likes/cash. I saw one recently, came up unasked for on my FB feed: a Dad chatting to his little son on the potty. All the comments underneath "Aww how adorable" "Great Dad" "Cute little guy". I felt like the only person in the world who couldn't not see how awful this was. Not lighthearted.

[AMillionMilesAway]

Someone took a picture of their kids shitty nappy and said "my poor x has the runs"

[WingBingo]

I have one fb friend that posts the shifts she is working, usually that day and the next few. Or maybe it’s her day off. Either way we get an update.

Also how many steps she has done that day and slimming world updates.

Another friends posts pictures of hot drinks and cake alternated with attempts to lose weight.

[wineandcheeseplease]

A photo of someone's kidney stone they'd just wee'd out

[Evenstar]

Someone I know posted in graphic detail about her 10 year old being hospitalised with chronic constipation ☹️ that is far worse than over sharing your own stuff.

Another person puts links up to her blog, with gems such as incontinence, STD’s and all the latest about random men from OLD sites who are “the one” until they block her about a week later. Funnily enough the latest one said it was because she was too intense and over shares.

[Blankspace101]

You need to review the sort of people you are friends with.

[EveningOverRooftops]

I feel attacked

I post pictures of my food - when I’ve made a kick arse new dish that tastes amazing.

I post pictures of mine and DCs feet. Because I don’t share pictures of DCs face online but a feet picture and where we are is a nice way to remember the day I guess. I have so many I’m tempted to put them in a books with DCs ever growing feet.

Never live updated my Labour/bowel movement/shagging exploits.

Though I do joke I could fill up an air ship/power a city when my IBS is playing up because honestly, it’s a grim chronic condition, I’m tired of making excuses and I’m tired of people asking why I can’t do X. ‘Because my ring burns, Sheila, and I’ve generated so much natural gas I could power the U.K. for a few hours. Please for the love of god let me deflate’


Things I can’t stand people oversharing?

The gushing love posts. Every single one of them including pictures. Just no.

[Cottonheadedninymuggins]

Someone I went to school with has multiple children, 4 with one man who has no contact with them and one with another man who does have contact with his own child but not the others. Since remarried to another man.

Said A N Other man has had a vasectomy. One post during the first lockdown was how they were hoping to undo his vasectomy so they could have another child together.

Good luck to both of them and their family... just don't need to hear about his gentleman region.

[BeingATwatItsABingThing]

With shoes and socks on? Just why? If you don’t want your child’s face online, just don’t post a picture.

[Titsywoo]

A friend of mine on FB posted all her sexy boudoir photoshoot pics - bit much I thought

[36degrees]

Not even on social media, I used to work with a woman who had several framed photos of herself in a bikini on her desk.

[FlaviaAlbiaWantsLangClegBack]

Someone who found out she’d been initially told the wrong sex of her baby while she was still pregnant. I only saw it because a friend commented, not because I was friends with the loon.

A long dramatic and decidedly self indulgent whine about not getting their little princess after all, they’re stunned, taken aback, gutted and they’ll need some private time to adjust or some bollocks like that. The irony of posting that on Facebook went over her head apparently.

[BetterThanKleenex]

I have a 'friend' who regularly, as in daily, posts about her IBS on Facebook. I understand it's a terrible condition to live with but sharing the consistency, volume and noises of her bowel movements is a bit much.

An old colleague of mine posts photos of every meal, snack and drink she has. Even if it's just a glass of water, we get a photo and a description. Her food always looks rank too- or it's just a plate of pot noodle, chicken nuggets and a whole loaf of garlic bread...

This was pure gold to read.

I've now deleted my personal Facebook and Insta and have accounts I use to follow pages I think are interesting. Could not be dealing with the inane stuff people post.

Had one friend who was permanently on mute because she did nothing but update us on her children in minute detail. 'L just ate half a slice of toast. P is really constipated at the moment so I've given her prune juice LOL'



Also seen many a drama post, my favourite/most hated are the ones where they don't tell you what's happening because they want you to ask. 'Ugh just don't know what's wrong with some people'

Yeah, me neither love

Because I want to and DC asks to take them

[BeingATwatItsABingThing]

That’s great @EveningOverRooftops

I was talking about bare feet pictures. I don’t even like looking at my own feet..,
