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’

Their not there!

Mine is not lurid or anything, but there is a woman in my village,who posts on the community FB pages, about 4 times a week, with photo's of the sky. .with captions of,"wonderful sky today folks. " Very threatening sky today,so many low dark clouds, " perfect sky yesterday.. " cloudy and raining today. She seems to think that we don't see the same sky that she can see, in our small village.

We have one of those, buts its trees. And fields.

But mainly trees.

I know someone who announced their pregnancy by making a sign that said “daddy forgot to pull out”

A friend posted a photo of her husband without his shirt on with some kind of “I’m so lucky to have this guy” caption. He’s pale, pudgy, balding and, as I now know, very, very hairy. I’m happy she’s happy but I really wish he’d had a shirt on!

DH’s cousin wins the prize for most boring fb posts about how she’s doing the ironing or mopping the floor.

A young woman who told a group of us, acquaintances, that she regularly p*ssed her pants and it stained them yellow.

There was no real physical reason for this.

Photos of kids poo smeared everywhere. Why?! I would believe you they did it without photographic evidence!

I also have a friend who posts every. little. thing. her children do. And gazilions of unflattering photos of them.

Sorry- I've had wine.

On social media= a woman saying that she was going to an 'adult cinema' (like a swinger's club) and asking for people's experiences of it.

It wouldn't be so bad but it was a public post for the whole world to see.

One of my FB friends is a total narcissist, the whole world is against him but he's so brave and 'winning against all the odds' and endless 'good things come to those who wait' type statements. He also posts endless pics of him and his latest girlfriend in bed, half naked, it makes me think of morning breath! I would hate it if a guy took pics of me just woken up and then splashed it all over facebook every day.

These are hilarious. Unfortunately I've unfollowed/unfriended all these people. I might follow them again for a bit of a daily dose of laughter.

I have a FB workmate friend who has just come back to work from ML (her bubs is about 10mths old) & EVERY single day since she started back at work there are numerous FB stories, updates - doing my head in.

I've scrolled past the countless bub photos for the past year but for goodness sake, a photo of ME, look at ME in my work uniform the night before each days work; the walk across the road from the carpark to the shop (??) every morning; the packed lunchboxes in the tea room. The raves over the amazing bosses (they're not :) ) - shes on a soon to be gone from my friends list :)

I cant remember having so much time when I had a baby that I could have been on SM most of the day - is is just modern-ish living that means younger parents are always on their phones - or is something else not happening/being done?

Oooh a young lad who shared that he was HIV positive.

@Wincarnis

Someone I know posted a pic of her Mum - dead, in a coffin

😱😱😱

The food, feet on a sun lounger, A&E check ins, sick kids, happy birthday to 5 year olds who aren’t even on fb etc all really get on my tits. Grown women who post selfies with Snapchat filters of butterflies round their head/ freckles and massive glasses/ bunny nose and ears and set it as a profile pic and then everyone comments how great they look...

Once my dad shared a post from Britain First and fell out with me when I tried to explain what it was and begged him to take it down.

One woman I had to block posted a photo of her daughter naked with just a star emoji for modesty to sell a potty training toilet step/ seat thing.

I’m not on Facebook any more.

My friends suddenly all seem very normal after reading this thread.

I know someone who was posting daily updates of how blessed she was to have her amazing husband, while she was having her exit affair. Happy people post very little IMO.

Someone i know posts several times a day - “x just off to school” “sitting in the garden reading my book”... she puts her address, where she goes out, when she works, all her inner thoughts, and 1000s of pictures of her kid! And she doesnt have an interesting life, just normal shit we all get up to!

Another posts pictures of her and her husband in bed; naked (but hidden under the duvet), asleep... just why???

Why do people talk to the people they live with on FB. Even if it's only tagging a show they might like or something? I'd send the link to DH or, if it's about how much I love him, I'd tell him, not every acquaintance on FB.

A friend who reminds everyone about her mental health every week. Nothing wrong with sharing, however it is surprising how little self-awareness she has of much she pushes the subject: "I never share this, but I am struggling with mental health issues". "I don't know if you knew, but I have mental health issues". "I never share this, but today I am struggling with mental health issues". About 3 or 4 times a month. There is nobody that doesn't know by now.

Another friend who seems to enjoy posting pictures of her looking awful in hospital. "Today I finally had my incontinence surgery, no more pissing myself!". Photo of her in dirty hospital gown. "Today I had my wisdom teeth out, just had a dose of tramadol. Photo of her slumped in bed looking drugged. It's grim and unpleasant.

Photo of baby bring born, legs akimbo, blood etc

One of my colleagues (60s) played out a really really nasty row (over weeks) with her adult daughter via facebook. It was swearing at each other, accusations, it was totally vicious.

She;s a parish councillor and a stalwart of the church and always seemed so sensible.

One of the mums at school always posts boasty posts about their wealth. With things like #blessedtobemortgagefree and all that. It seems increibly crass to me.

Oh- just remembered. One of my former colleagues also posted on our local community page photos of her 15 year old daughter's mental health assessment ffs saying could anyone help recommend counsellors!!

Thankfully that got taken down pretty quick smart but I would not have been the only one to have seen it.

An old school friend posted a photo of her toddler potty training.

Which is fine.

When it's not in the middle of an aisle in IKEA in full view of other shoppers.

My current cringe is the blue photo surround on Facebook " I've had my covid vaccine "
Yes millions of us have dear.

A friend of mine (more of an acquaintance really) posted some meme about knowing your worth etc. Her husband, whom she had recently left, commented underneath saying how he had always loved and cherished her. They then had a conversations over about 50 comments laying bare literally every instance of disrespect / disagreement etc in their marriage and accusing each other of various terrible behaviours. Right there in the comments on the photo! I was agog (but couldn’t stop refreshing the page)

@JustMarriedAndLovingIt

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

So in effect blaming one person and informing another that she had given genital warts to them.

A school mum used to post a constant stream of memes about what turned her on in bed. Think "when he fucks you so hard then cuddles you after" and drawings of half naked people.

That was officially my I don't want to know this line.
