More annoying Facebook posts

[Deleted User]

So my cousin's step daughter (so I guess my step-second cousin?), is like maybe 22 I think... Huge complainer and overshares on Facebook around medical issues, ambiguous random dramatic posts, etc.

Last night she posts an ultrasound picture that says "Welcome to the world tiny, beautiful baby (Not mine)".

Of course this brings on a zillion comments asking if it's her's (people don't read), and then who the new parents are.  She goes on to say she's just so excited but can't say yet who the parents are.  So clearly the parents aren't announcing it yet on Facebook THEMSELVES, and it's their baby, so why the fuck are you posting it? An ultrasound is a pretty personal thing (and not really something everyone likes to post on social media) It'd be one thing if they posted it first, and you shared it after...

I soooo badly wanted to comment and say something about how rude and inconsiderate that was.

I just don't get people... Anyone else friends with people who are horrible about oversharing?

Wow. That's fucking terrible. Who posts ultrasound photos before the parents do.

I understand getting excited about a friends pregnancy, I even understand being so excited you let it slip to one or two people, (I've done this and felt terrible) but posting the ultrasound in Facebook? Damn.

I friended a girl recently who I guess was my best buddy one summer when I was in elementary school (I don't remember her, but my mom assures me it's the truth). As soon as I friended her I realized, this girl is...well, she probably needs help. She's self published a poetry book that she says are half hers and half the words of the spirits who talk to her. She openly posts about smoking pot on a daily basis, and even includes pictures of the apparatuses she uses. I don't have any problem at all with that as an activity, but I thought that's pretty bold and/or dumb of her to be posting that stuff openly.

My favorite are people who write things like "I had an AWFUL day!" Then, when someone asks, "What happened?" they respond, "I don't want to talk about it on Facebook." 

Those people, along with many other oversharers/overposters have either been deleted or hidden from my newsfeed.

Rude. Rude, rude, rude. 

I also hate when someone posts a picture of themselves holding an infant and doesn't write anything when I personally know that it's not their baby and I also know they purposely didn't specify who's baby it is because they want all the attention of people assuming it's theirs and asking/commenting a ton. Don't hijack someone else's baby for attention. 

I have a couple over-sharers on facebook and both are in the process of planning a wedding. Oh, and another over-sharer who posts sexual stuff and rage-fueled rants about her baby's daddy, and her MOM once commented on one of the sexual posts. And she got HUGE breast implants (which is fine, to each their own) and constantly comments about how her implants are awesome, and constantly posts selfies with her tits hanging out of her shirt. I also have several of those people just post "need thoughts and prayers please!" and nothing else. Desperate much?

Those people and their 'unspoken prayer requests' drive me NUTS. Facebook is not your congregation!

I would totally say something. Probably something sarcastic and bitchy, like "Are you seriously posting a picture of someone else's fetus when they haven't even seen fit to tell the world yet? Am I understanding that correctly?"

The bolded bothers me only because they don't mention the reason...and then cue the 50 comments of "What's wrong?!" BLEH!!!!

The unspoken prayer requests don't bother me so much. Sometimes people have something private going on and just want people to pray for them. In most cases I've seen, people just acknowledge the post and move on.

Exactly! So annoying 

raissyrais

Ugh people like that annoy the shit out of me. My FSIL (FBIL's fiancee) puts everything and I mean EVERYTHING wedding related on her FB. It makes me cringe with embarrassment. So inappropriate on every level. But that baby thing is just unacceptable! I'm sure the future parents will recognize the ultra sound though, right?

Dear God, Jane needs...something. Guidance maybe? Perhaps some good luck? Anyways, she asked I pray for her so I am...I guess you could check with her to see what it is she needs prayer for? Amen.

I have a secret fear of someone announcing my future-pregnancy on fb before I do (meaning, at all). It just seems really AW-ish, especially when you're not the parent; if you want people to know, this is one of those big things you should probably say in person.

I really don't think kids need a social media presence before they can communicate whether they even want one or not, and the fact that I know the goings-on and whereabouts of the children of people I know in passing is creepy.

I mean, what can you even DO for something like this? Ask them to keep it off fb? I know we're supposed to expect adults to act like adults, but shit like this kinda shows you can't.

I thought this was going to be about annoying political facebook posts but that is so much worse! I would be livid if I friend shared something so personal about me on facebook. What the hell is she thinking? I guess she is probably just wanting attention and figured using her friend's pregnancy was as good a way as any to get it. How do people like that have friends?!

I used to have a friend on FB that would have full family blow-outs on facebook. It would always start with some attention-seeking vague post, then people would ask what's wrong, then a family member would jump in and it would all spiral very quickly from there.

ShesSoCold

My biggest over-sharer asked this morning if anyone on FB has had a barrium enema.

I hate the vague statuses. Stop it. I have one who will post "Nothing going right, so much pain" cue "OMG what's wrong? Are you ok? Kids ok? Anything I can help with?" and then she responds "Oh, it's really private I don't want to talk about it on facebook" then DON'T FUCKING TALK ABOUT IT ON FACEBOOK! If you need attention just say "I need attention, look at me! Look at me!" and be honest about it.

Ok so funny story, my cousin's wife posted a picture of me holding their nearly 1 year old baby and she tagged me in the picture but didn't write anything else with it. Because all of her friends know it's her baby and I'm her cousin.

My friends are...stupider apparently because I got a ton of "OMG did you have a baby?" and "When did you have a baby?" and "Holy crap congratulations! How old? Whats her name?" um...guys...she's almost 1. You have all seen me within the past  1 year and nine months. Don't you think you would have noticed if I was pregnant or had a kid with me? Don't you think I would have mentioned in the past 1 year and nine months that I had gotten pregnant and had a kid? I had to post "Cousin's daughter, not mine" to clear things up.

FI had someone from high school (I think? Or a friend of a friend, or something like that?) who did crap like that. He called me over once to witness a shit show in which the girl posted something about getting so wasted the night before and people were commenting. Then the girl's mom jumped on it and said "How could you do this? You're going to end up an alcoholic loser just like your father!" And the girl went off about "DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT MY DAD THAT WAY! STOP TRYING TO RUN MY LIFE YOU BITCH!" on and on. I could not believe what I was seeing. I wanted to comment and say "Hey ladies, why don't you take this somewhere private? I'm a total stranger and I'm watching your family drama unfold. And I'm laughing."

I hate that and I unfriend/unfollow those people promptly.

Before I finally unfriended my ex, he would post these pathetic, desperate statuses like "feeling depressed, need someone to talk to me" and stuff like that. Then when someone would ask what was wrong he'd start complaining about his baby mama. And I cannot stand couples who air their dirty laundry on social media.

Haha...do your FI and I have the same FB friend? It's so sad to think how many crazy people are out in the world! I don't know why you would want all that family drama out for everyone to see. This particular family used to always brag to my mom about how perfect their family was too...well that cats out of the bag people, your family dysfunction is all of the internet now! yay!

My best friend's mom posted "I'm going to be a grandma!!!" My friend was SOOO mad because she was like 4 weeks along, not telling anyone yet. If you knew their family, you'd know it was obviously my friend. No one would assume it was her single, sleep all day- rave all night brother, or her single, ultraconservative won't kiss a boy sister. She ended up losing the baby a few days later....so sad and terrible and I couldn't imagine the explaining her mom had to do.

 

P.S. One of my biggest pet peeves is people who don't have jobs that always post "TGIF!" Everyday is a fucking weekend for you so shut up!

OMG that really sucks and very sad.  I mean I can't blame the "grandma" to be excited but it's something you have to keep to yourself especially so early in the pregnancy...

On another note, I have an annoying FB post story.  A girl posted a pic of a hand with an engagement ring (no caption).  Next thing you know, tons of likes and "congruatlations!" and "what?" and "We have to catch up!"  Which is fine and all, what do you expect after that...

Next thing you know the AW who posted commented and said "Jeez people, this isn't even my hand, just a picture!"

Like...OK?!!?

I HATE vaguebooking with a passion.  That's my biggest pet peeve...well, along with the passive-aggressive posts of pictures with comments obviously directed at someone who "wronged" them, like the pictures that say "A real man lets his woman know she's valued" - like nobody knows who that's directed to!  Stop it! 

[Deleted User]

@mobride2015  Vaguebooking is definitely being added to my vocabulary!

I think I need to do a massive un-friending some time soon.

I have a FB friend who "checks in" whenever she's at the doctor's office or ER to get sympathy... for example:

Tracy is at the ER
"SOOO sick of catching colds! OMG is it summer yet??"

My thoughts on this are, obviously you're not that ill since you still have the capability to whine on FB.

"ah just ordered my programs!"

"going bridesmaid dress shopping in 3 1/2 weeks can't wait!"

"just paid the photographer lol no more online shopping for me"

My new personal pet peeve on FB is my old roommate posting emo song lyrics as her FB status. Her dbag boyfriend of 4 years broke up with her right before her 28th birthday a few months ago. I understand that she's sad, but it's been 3 months and she's almost 30 - let's not post lyrics to emos songs that are 10+ years old to tell everyone (and him) how sad you are that he dumped you but in a vague "I'm not going to come out and admit that I miss you but I do and I want everyone to know" kind of way. It's a weekly thing and it's getting old.

I have a DISTANT family member that is in and out of relationships with 2 different men every other week.  Honest to goodness, she'll date one of them for a couple of weeks, break it off, then date the other one for a couple of weeks - lather, rinse, repeat.  Her FB feed is a train wreck of "inspirational relationship quotes and pics" and calling out friends/family of the two men she is dating for gossiping behind her back.
