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’

@magicstar1 - my mum has lived in the midlands her whole life, I can't help but think she would be exactly the same should she ever move to a seaside town

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.

Ah you just had me crying with laughter at the floating knob! 😂😂😂

Nothing to add, probably because I quickly unfriend anyone who does my head in!!

@RainbowRaine a local group I'm in (for work rather than where I live) has a ferret who escapes a few times a month, it's got the stage where the owner is just tagged to come get it.

Wow!

@SleepingStandingUp

The video of a friend giving birth...

With or without crowning shot?

[SleepingStandingUp]

It was Moms head end but still quite a lot to share...

@BeingATwatItsABingThing

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.

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

Agreed!! I never post anything like this on social media! I have my own camera roll to flick through to see pics of me and my kids. Weird

[Smellycat54]

An old school friend split up with her kids father and wrote over fb about how abusive he was to her and the kids. How he assaulted them all and how her kids were so scared of their dad. Then she got back with him and had another

How can you expect people to just forget that you've said that?

People posting graphic details of their IBS issues.

People posting pictures of their sick kids online. Because we all want to be photographed and splashed over social media while we look and feel shit.

The mind boggles.

My BIL posted a delightful picture of the time his dog had diarrhoea and shat all over their kitchen. For the love of God no-one needs to see that. It was so graphic I could practically smell it.

Then to make matters worse MIL chimed in posting sympathetically about the time her dog did the same.

I opened up this delightful post over breakfast. Some people have no shame.

[LemmysAceCard]

My friend, constant updates on FB about how she rises above the fake people who talk behind her back, how she doesn’t care if people slag her off, how she has no time for fake people... well you obviously do care love as you post this shit on fb at least 5 times a day along with you selfies which are around 10 a day. If you really didn’t care you wouldn’t be thinking about it and posting it on FB.

[Iwantacookie]

I dont mind most of them what really gets on my nerves is people who share fake prize pages.
Its Toby Carvery atm all you need to do is check to see the page was created 2 weeks ago
Or those who share a lost dog post from the USA just incase its found sniffing some bins in the middle of England.

Wtf?!!! I can’t believe people do this.

[Echobelly]

Once on a local FB buying and selling group, a woman decided to use to it go on about what a slag and whore this other woman was who slept with her husband.

I did think 'Well hang on, she might not have known he was married, but your husband sure as hell knew he was married, so maybe save the abuse for him!'

[Helenahandbasket1]

Someone I used to work with has recently posted about:

• Her 9 year old son having an infected foreskin and being circumcised;
  
• Her 7 year old son getting his penis stuck in his zipper; and
  
• A video of her and her brand new boyfriend announcing their pregnancy to their young kids from previous relationships. The little girl started to cry, her son got angry and new boyfriend got cross with his son and started berating him for having difficulties reading the printed ‘clue’.

[CovoidOfAllHumanity]

Oh BIL is a serial, prize winning oversharer.
Apart from the dog shit we have also been treated to various rashes on intimate body parts, close ups of a horrible gash on his daughter's leg that needed stitches and his manky rotten tooth that fell out plus the hole it left behind.
I think there is literally no unpleasant episode in his life that he would not feel deserved a worldwide audience.

[DarlingWithoutYou]

I LOVE this thread!

My worst has come from Part Time Working Mummy a while back- her daughter Edie had a sickness bug and she posted a photo of her vomit all over the bed and her iPad. I have emetophobia and was absolutely traumatised by that photo for quite some time.

[rwalker]

A friend I say friend they have about 2500 friends only accepted invited out of interest . Was selling a mattress on market placed "in good condition just a few stains" pictures including close up of stains .

[TillyTopper]

Never mind social media - this was in the office.

Our new French female boss (in a UK company in London) complained to the team (around 12 of us, mostly men) that she was on her period and had cramps and wanted painkillers. But complained that she could only get ones you took via mouth in the stupid English chemist and she wanted some you put up your bum. Apparently it's normal in France (have no idea if that is true). We were pretty shocked when she came up and announced that at the desk as we were sitting working! I literally remember having to close my mouth.

[Babyfg]

A while back on a local page a woman asked what to do about her son being bullied by one particular child as she'd been in complaining loads about an incident.

The mother of said bully commented back and called her out as a dramatic liar.

The comments had to be turned off as it turned very lively!

Tbh I love the oversharers! Especially the random dramas (a few baby dad arguments played out online on my feed!).

I only really hate the ones that overshare their children because I think it's really unfair on them. I think it's really unnerving that I know so much about random children I've never met.

And the ones that are #blessed and have to share how amazing their lives I always feel a bit sorry for rather than angry. You can't be that content if you need strangers validation.

@wineandcheeseplease

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

Jesus, they must have a high pain threshold!!! After I passed one, all I wanted to do was stuck the old chap in ice to relieve the pain!!! 😫😫😫

[Standrewsschool]

Not in the same league as some of these, but the posters that get me is those who post a half-story. Ie. ‘Why does it always happen to me..?”,, which usually results with lots of ‘Hope you’re okay, hun’, comments, but there’s never any explanation of the cause of the problem.

[BecauseMyRingBurnsSheila]

An antenatal couple, friends of ours. A very late night drunken rant by him about her affair. I was up at an odd time so saw it. Gone by the morning. But I always wondered how many of the other mums spotted it at the same time!

Next time I saw her she was with a new guy. Obviously I couldn't ask if he was the OM!

[Chillychili]

I have one who posted multiple pictures of her daughter having a lumbar puncture. Instead of comforting the poor daughter who they had to try a few times to get access, who was clearly distressed in the pictures. She decided to take pictures and post online. Silly women.
Although I hate the ones that share half a story, we know your dp is a waste of space, but can you please share publicly instead of a ‘PM me hun’.

[floofycroissant]

One old school contact gave us a blow by blow account of finding her husband cheating, subsequent divorce, the UTTER HEARTBREAK... and then hawking her story to Take A Break. The 2 page magazine spread made for a lovely profile cover 😂

[Confusedandshaken]

I don't like ones where people post on Mother's Day or their granny's birthday etc, addressing the thread to their deceased relation 'it's been 10 years since you left us and I miss you so much, best mum/granny/parrot ever'. It seems so pointless, it's not as if the person is going to read it!

It's the 30th anniversary of my dad's death soon. I can see that I might post a photo of him saying '30 years since my lovely dad died. I still miss him' or some such but I certainly wouldn't address it to him. Quite apart from anything else he didn't have a FB account. And I wouldn't do it anyway because it's cringy.
