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’

I saw someone announce that they had genital warts and tag not one but two people they thought they may have caught it from 😬😬😂😂

I know it’s not probably what you are asking for but it’s really f*cking tedious...photos of food. I have a friend who posts photos of their dinner most nights. Why but why would you do this???

My husband unfriends anyone who posts a photo of their food 😆

A few giving updates during labour!!! "On gas and Air still, 8cm, feel like pushing now, not long to go, LOL"

Glad she had nothing better to do with her time! I do wish people would realsie how tedious they are telling us all about their mediocre lives, even the word 'sharing' is creepy.

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.

The couple who gush about how in love they are in every single post. Always makes me think it's fake, it's so over the top. Once they celebrated their 999th day together. Who keeps track?! I can understand counting the years, maybe even months, but days???

I can do without the nappy updates. I know it's exciting being a new parent and how invested the parent is, but I don't need to know about the latest contents of the nappy. At least it's only verbal descriptions and we're spared the pictures.

I thought of another one. A friend’s boyfriend made a f* video of her in labour with the theme tune from The A Team in the background. I’d have knocked him into next week for that if I’d been in labour. Dear readers, he’s now in jail (true story)

Somebody I knew from a sports club years ago who put up a Facebook post that his DP had attacked him with a knife, but not to worry, he was ok (complete with photo of stitches in arm) and she'd been sectioned. I can understand not wanting to have to text all the family individually, but as a Facebook status?! (I've seen pictures of them together since, so presumably she's much better.)

I also have a friend with four children who posts lots of pictures of them, and often does the memory posts. It wouldn't be so bad except a) they're all born in the same month, and b) she has identikit babies until they're about two. I never know which one is in the photo.

Someone posted about losing their mucus plug! Luckily it didn't come with a photo

Or those who share a lost dog post from the USA just incase its found sniffing some bins in the middle of England.

😂😂

I had to close my first Facebook account because I’d let colleagues friend me and a bunch of them were on maternity leave at once. My timeline was full of childcare gossip. I haven’t got kids.

An acquaintance from school posted about how terrible her period pains were and something about a doctor’s visit to sort that out... followed by (in the same post): “Oh well, Happy Father’s Day, Dad!”

A friend posted a photo of their baby covered in shit hiding a little sign that said something like my first nappy explosion. I thought that was disgusting on two levels, obviously I don't want to see that second leaving your child in that state while you get a fucking sign and take a photo wtf.

Also saw a Facebook post/comments argument between two women descend into Woman A revealing the secret that Woman B’s baby’s father (now ex partner) regularly slept with his own cousin.

One girl I know posts every 5 minutes with status updates that have included, most notably, a selfie of her meditating with her eyes closed (very prettily, of course).

I was in a group about childhood constipation but had to leave after seeing one to many photos of the contents of a nappy!

@majesticallyawkward “kudos to the DH it was nothing to be ashamed of”

I laughed so hard I couldn’t catch my breath.

@squashyhat

One of my FB friends is an extreme (as in follow-him-around-the-country) Marti Pellow fan. He posts something on his FB page and she replies like it's a personal chat. I can't count the number of selfies she's posted with him. So cringe.

There is an girl I went to school with on my facebook like that but with one of them out the Wanted. The one who was on Strictly. Jay I think his name is. She has gone from fan to stalker. He looks more and more embarrassed/concerned everytime she has turned up, and trust me, it was frequently until Covid He must be one of few theatre actors happy the pandemic shut it down. He probably enjoyed the peace. We are 40. It's embarrassing.

Super graphic birth photos. Saw a close up of the placenta on Instagram recently. Ok to keep for yourself, do you have to share it with everyone.

Half naked pregnancy shoots. Too personal, don't need to see it!!

Her 7 year old son getting his penis stuck in his zipper;

How thick are people? When his friends see this he'll be 'bullied' at school and teachers will have to waste precious time mopping up yet another parental mess.

A friend had posted a photo of her daughter in an ambulance on the way to hospital with the caption “not how I was expecting to spend Friday night”- no clue given as to the severity of the illness/injury.
Needless to say people were concerned and posting “You ok hun?”
Clearly family and friends were worried sick-fortunately everything was fine, but why do people do this? Is it attention seeking? 😤

Someone I hadn't even met in person, friend of a friend who'd added me. Posted an album of 200+ photos of screenshots of her latest boyfriend of only a few weeks cheating on her then many statuses about aborting the twins she'd fallen pregnant with by him. Like a timeline.

People who post "Happy birthday to my darling Bob, 2 today. We love you so much and are so proud of you".

Bob is 2. They can't read and don't have social media. Just say it to their face.

People who address their partners or children with long passages about how much they love them. Can’t you just tell them in real life? Young kids won’t even see it, and babies can’t read!

It’s just performance love and it always makes me think there’s dark secrets lurking underneath!

Also have a colleague who posts daily about her ‘wild and free’ son. She means it positively but I always think it probably means he’s just a little shit.
