Facebook again

tlc35 · March 2013

My SIL has long been blocked on my Facebook. nbsp;She failed to see how posting about one's drug misuse every night with no privacy settings directly correlated with her inability to get a job in the healthcare field. Posted by KindaSparkly Nice! I have this girl from HS on my fb feed who is getting a divorce and she is pregnant. Every day there is a post about how her ex is being a douche and to pray for the baby he doesn't care about. And this same chick was giving play by play wedding updates in 2011 leading up to her wedding.

StephJean83 · March 2013

Another annoyance of mine is the people that keep posting repeatedly throughout the day. Like every 5 mins you post something new? Really? Pretty sure you haven't left the computer so what could possibly have happened?

<div>I don't post on this board much, but I had to join in on this conversation. I had one friend like you Addie and post a finished "pee pee in the potty." But I also had another fb friend post their daughter totally naked doing their first "pee pee in the potty" How inappropriate. </div>

Ditto the food pics, the constant gym/dieting posts, and the minute-by-minute posts.

I especially love it when the daily gym posts are combined with the greasy, fatty, huge-portion food pics.

I have two more...maybe it's just because I don't have kids, but I don't get posting your sonogram picture. It looks like a black and white blob.

Also, I had to unfriend a fmaily friend who is in her twenties but updated everyone on her crazy relationship like a damn teenager...every day it was,

"Oh my God I'm so in luv!"

"I'm crushed inside."

"Can't wait to snuggle with my baby!"

Relationship status: single

"Why do some ppl feel like they can play with ppls feelings?"

Relationship status: in a relationship

"I just want someon to treat me good is that too much 2 ask?"

Oh and pepper that with the black and white pouty face pics taken in the mirror...

Uuugggghhhh

I have a former coworker who constantly posts and deletes and reposts the horrid way her baby daddy treats her. Like seriously, you spread your legs the minute you met him, now deal with him or break up with him. She constantly changes her relationship status from "Married" to "It's Complicated" to "Single" and back like 8 or 9 times a week.

</div><div>Yesssss! I finally unfriended one of those. "Yay I finally got it right!" 2 days later, "New rule - not dating guys with blue cars". Tomorrow, "I think I'm falling for him!" maybe, at most 4 days, "Just going to be single for a while". Then tomorrow "I need to get out and date more" Then two days later she posts a pic of her in the bathroom with some guy "I love my baby so much!!". Really?

erinlin25 · March 2013

facebook definitely has a love/hate relationship! Wedding related annoyances-- I have a friend from high school who is getting married and is always posting about fundraisers to help pay for her wedding! Ugh; non-wedding annoyances: I agree with the play by play of your day; constantly telling everyone what great kids you have and another friend from college is constantly complaining about something. I want to delete the annoying ones, but on the same level it can be just as entertaining sometimes.

krichards0527 · March 2013

A friend of my has been posting incessantly about her new job- selling Rodan and Fields skin care (the same people who make Proactiv). She posts 3 or 4 times a day about different products, how to join her business, etc... but this post along with up-close pictures of her daughter's diaper rash really sent me over the edge. TMI.

"Okay folks, here are some real results first hand. My sweet daughter has had a terrible tummy flu and as a result, very loose watery stool that gave her a rash on her leg yesterday. Normally I would use Desitin and cake on her skin, BUT I thought I would try SOOTHE to actually treat her skin. Here is a before and after, taken with my phone less than 24 hours apart. I did not edit photo except cropping to focus on her leg. Do you see what I see? The rash totally disappeared and she is free of that terrible rash! Thank you SOOTHE!!!"

Really, I dont want to hear about your daughter's loose, watery stool... or see pics of the rash!!!

heatherk2489 · March 2013

A girl I used to hang out with regularly once posted a picture of her, with food in her mouth.

All chewed up nasty and disgusting, sticking her tongue out. I was absolutely appalled. I deleted her immediately. I cannot believe that anyone in their right mind would want to post that for the whole world to see. Gross.

Ro041 · March 2013

I just had to share about this girl -

She got a seasonal job at Flowerama. She was so excited about it and was hoping for it to lead to a permanent position.

After the seasonal job ended, her posts became increasingly more angry and indignant that the owner hadn't made up her mind re: whether she would get a permanent job. Nothing says "hire me" like bashing your future boss and calling her a b-face for not deciding if you were a good employee.

She works at a clothing store and here was a particularaly awesome post from recently: "How ghetto can you be? The second I say "all sales final, no returns" this b!tch says " well, I don't want all that stuff." That "stuff" consisted of thongs, bras, other under garments and baby clothes. Who the hell buys that kind of stuff and brings it back?! B!tch, we don't want your used butt floss back!!!!!"

People who post stuff like that about customers get FIRED. I want to scream at her!

vanityink · March 2013

I'm totally behind the constant gym updates. If something worth reporting happens, ok, facebook it, but "Did 5 reps today" "Going to the gym, fifth time this week" posts drive me up a wall.

I have a friend from college where all his posts are about him going to the gym/seeing cute guys there. And he always ends in a hashtag "Total cutie was checking me out while I worked on my pecs today #GayBoyGymStories #SoHot" sort of thing. I'm like 1, this isn't Twitter, lose the hashtags 2, you're posts are absurd.

I do admit I haven't blocked him yet because FI and I do like rolling our eyes at them together

Jessa617 · March 2013

The most annoying things on facebook:

Grumpy Cat and anything that has to do with Grumpy Cat.

Memes- it's getting a little ridiculous with all the ecards and memes. Too much! I have friends that go on a tangent and post about 15 of them in a row.

I also have two friends that are dating each other and all day long "I love my baby, I miss my baby, I can't wait to cuddle with my baby, my beautiful baby, the love of my life, baby, baby, baby, sexy, beautiful, eternity". It's gross. They seriously post all day long at work to each other and then at home (they live with each other). Try texting? Or private message maybe? Nobody else needs to see all that crap.

I have a friend who travels weekly for work. One day he posted that he was delayed at the airport due to some crazy stuff going down. His wife went to comment on it basically saying, "Miss and love you babe. See you soon." The laptop/iPad she was using was logged in as her DH, so the first comment was from himself. They since deleted their indivual pages and have a joint one, which can be funny.

LyannaStark · March 2013

I haven't been on facebook in a couple years, since the breakup that eventually led to my current engagement, because nobody wants to watch two people they know break up. They just don't.

- Passive aggressive vague sentiments like "Some people just really don't know how to treat their friends" or "Sigh" or whatever that are only ONLY there to elicit as many "What do you mean? Please tell me the story you wanted me to ask about!" responses as possible

- Political statements disguised as general observations about the world

I'll cosign the hastage abuse, it sure isnt twitter #stupid, #wrongsocialmediaoutlet.

The girls that brag about being domestic for their new relationships like "Cooking pot roast for my man" "Cleaning the bathroom for my man" It's all fun and games until you're tired of doing everything yourself.

Pictures of not amazing food bothers me too.. I only post the holiday meals where I pull out all of the stops.

ETA: that'll teach me to take 6 minutes to type a post between work stuff, Jessalyn beat me to it. Not that it doesn't need repeating..

[QUOTE]A friend of mine posted a pic of his son's first pee in the potty. Not him going, just the finished product. Another friend has a son with constipation issues. Once, he was backed up for like a week, and we got a daily report and when it finally came out, a full, play by play report, complete with consistency description. She also posted pics of her deceased mother. And by that I mean she took pics of her when she died and posted them on FB. I found that incredibly disturbing.
Posted by AddieL73[/QUOTE]

<div>This is sort of off-topic, but taking photos of deceased relatives is pretty common on my dad's side of the family. They're from the mountains in western VA/ WV and in generations previous, family members had a photo taken of the deceased because (simply put) they'd never looked better. Generally a person had three photos: a baby photo, a wedding photo, and a funeral photo. Obviously, times have changed and it's not so difficult to take photographs anymore, but some older relatives still insist upon it. I don't really care to see it on FB either, but I just wanted to put my knowledge out there. I actually had an argument with a friend's GF because she said the whole practice was "sick and disgusting" and the people who took the photographs were "morbid". I tried to gently explain to her the history of the practice, but the more she insulted me and my family, the more "I'mma knock this b*tch out" I got.</div>

I had to "hide" my aunt from my newsfeed (because I cant block or unfriend a relative) because she insisted that we be FB friends AND that we 'like' her business page. She is a photographer. EVERYTHING she posts on her business page, she also posts on her personal page. So I was getting duplicate posts on my newsfeed of everything she did. I promptly unliked her business feed, but every. single. post. she does is either a picture of her daughter, a picture of something nature-y, or an advertisement. And she's not even that good! GRRRRRR.

Trying to talk her out of forcing herself on our wedding pictures was a whole 'nother story.

I was FB "Friends" with most of my cousins, aunts/uncles and even my grandma on my dad's side of the family. I was getting sick of them taking something from my FB and twisting it around, that I deleted and blocked all of them, including my grandma. I found out that my grandma recently PM my dad that she was deleting him because she is embrassed to claim him as a son because his politics are so different from hers.

Posted by StephJean83[/QUOTE]

I have a a neighbor/friend who lost her daughter at 15 years old less than 6 month ago. I've never seeen someone more sad, and she updates her facebook frequently throughout the day, always something about her daughter (missing her, religious text, photos, little comments to her daughters facebook, etc). It does make me feel less comfortable with posting happy updates about my daughter, because I know it makes her sad about hers.... but it's not something I find annoying because I know that losing someone you love, ESPECIALLY your child, is an unspeakable pain. So i just deal with it and try to balance bragging about my little girl with being sensitive to her needs :) It's easy to get annoyed at someone when you're not in their shoes, but her daughter's death was hard for me (tragic event, and I was on the phone with her just before/as? she had an accident) so I would never in a million years do or say anything that would make her feel bad about using facebook to vent her frustrations.

Real awkward posts.... is one younger friend who goes on and on with vague posts that make you think she's in danger, or she's so depressed, or really serious stuff.... when you finally ask her what happened, it's always something really silly (like her crush didn't go to school that day... so she posts "my life sucks! Why do these horrible things always happen to me!? I'm so hurt :( " o.O???
