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

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’

Oh we have shoes on. We’re out in public and I do have a great collection of crazy hand knitted socks. So… foot fetishists are at least kept at bay Wink

Mum of a DD's friend sharing a picture of her son's first shave. Clearly taken on the sly in the bathroom mirror with her dad in the background and her poor 16yo DS shaving.

Please, for the love of God, give your kids some privacy. Especially at that delicate teen phase. Lots of his friends got hold of it and poked fun at "Baby boy's first shave, so proud". I remember some of the other mums saying it raised their eyebrows too.

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

Wow 🤣🤣

I also remember DD showing a friend of hers updating an operation with near hourly statuses, like got my cannula in, just about to go under, just woken up, just been moved onto the ward, just had my morning meds, dad is sat out in the car waiting for me to be discharged, all with pictures. She seemed to think she was the only person ever to have an operation. The first thing she must have done after waking up was whip out her phone and announce it on FB.

@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...

😂😂😂 what “description” will she give for a glass of water?

@Rainbow321

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 forgottenConfused

@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.

Erm, do you mean your sister in law and her husband? Otherwise that is an over-share on a totally different level!

A former colleague of mine posted a picture of her husband right after his vasectomy Confused. He had his knob out. It was very much a 'am I really seeing what I think I'm seeing' situation, but still. Too much.

@LemonadeFromLemons Why? Her husband's sister would be her SIL and her partner would be her BIL. No incest required!

The first thing that springs to mind is three or four girls, who I didn't know, bantering about some incident in their shared history - on the public page of the local newspaper. One of them even acknowledged it was a stupid place to write what they were writing.

Food ones. Run ones. MLM ones.
Political ones.

Just keep it to yourself.

I do have a SL (self lover) who pouts and takes pictures of herself daily and all her friends piles it to say 'Great photo babes' etc and if she gets involved in anything online on FB locally her husband and all her family weigh in and like her posts and positive comment it -argh!

@LemonadeFromLemons maybe it’s her DH’s brother and his wife? Pretty standard to refer to that couple as BIL and SIL.

My friend documented her husbands affair, from the discovery to the reconciliation. She was friends with the OW and would tag her and the DH in the posts that slagged them off. Awkward. Do you “like” that stuff??

I have a few on my sm... somehow can't scroll past but end up annoyed 😂

One posted a pic of her dh and their baby in the bath together. No bubbles and full view of his knob floating about (kudos to the dh though, it was nothing to be ashamed of).

A few who post a status or blurry out of focus picture of every single thing they do all day every day. Occasionally mix it up with a woe is me sob story about how hard their life is or vague check in at a hospital followed a few days later with the in detail fictional story about their life threatening illness/injury. Or 140 pictures of something utterly boring with massive paragraphs describing it in minute detail.

And a personal favourite, local business owner found her dh cheating, had videos and photos of the offending dh and ow having sex on the business page with massive rants about what a shit he was, named both and tagged OWs husband. It was something to behold.

Most of the culprits posted about on this thread would be for the blocking or I'd have daily eye roll induced headaches.
Having said that I inadvertently overshared in a major way, thanks to my mother posting a video and countless photos of me JUST AFTER I'd given birth on her FB.

I’ve a friend who moved to a seaside town. I’m delighted she has her dream area to live in, but every day for the past two years she checks into Facebook “X is in Seaside town” and accompanies it with no less than 40-50 pics of the same stretch of beach. Every single day!
