Girl 1: "I've just booked our wedding venue!!"
Girl 2: "Ooh hun where you getting married?"
Girl 1: "A little village in Wales :-)"
Girl 2: "Wales - is that the same time zone as us?"
Girl 1: "Lol of course!! Oh *Girl 2* what are you like?!"
Girl 2: "well I was rubbish at geography at school. I did get a diploma in travel & tourism though..."
Ok more of a conversation than a status, but I did have to laugh. Girl 2, coincidentally, is one of those "full time mummy to my ickle ******" and I've corrected her many spelling mistakes because I couldn't bear to type so many errors!
An old flatmate of mine who's always been a bit of an arrogant tosser and seems to constantly have the perfect life (perfect grades at school with little effort, perfect grades at uni by doing every essay the night before, including his dissertation, perfect house, perfect fiance, goes from perfect job to perfect job, has the perfect car etc etc...) keeps posting these kind of updates:
"Looking for venues this weekend, watch out Highland Estates, we're coming to View you"
or
"Looking for caterers this weekend, look out Yellow pages...you're gonna get manhandled"
or
"Gonna HAVE to start planning this honeymoon...look out Travel Agents, you're getting consulted"
I think it is slightly worse now than when I lived with him, but back then it was just his never ending saga to upgrade his mountain bike (we lived in the city centre and he only ever rode it down the high street to uni and back, the one time we attempted a cycle ride and his tyre burst 20 minutes in) to the best thing ever. This is a bike which he paid nearly £2K for and he has now binned, less than 5 years later.

^^^ You do realise how jealous that makes you sound??
I disagree. I'm not jealous of him in the slightest, I wouldn't want any of his life. I am in no way ready or willing to have any of what he wants as it means he's settling down. That's not for me right now, I've got far too much I want to do before marriage and home owning comes into it. Just because I find his endless showing off tiresome doesn't mean I'm jealous! When these things happen in my life they will not be on Facebook, but then I'm not someone who seeks approval and attention of others from social media so barely anything from my life is on Facebook.
don't know if this is relevant to this thread but the worst thing I find about facebook overall is people posting photos of their friends in vulnerable positions like a friend of mine posted a few photos of another friend of mine kissing a guy while she was drunk. Very bad form I thought even though I know its supposed to be seen as 'oh its only a laugh putting up these photos' but still I didn't think that person was a true friend of that drunk friend posting photos like that all done as I can guess just to mock the person in front of others, what do other readers think?

You do come across bitter and jealous though, Just putting that out there
Why is it every pic, video, link etc "Will Blow Your Mind"?
I keep getting "this is amazing" videos come up on mine.
I dont know if people are sharing them or if its a virus automatically sending crap out.
The most annoying thing on fb right now is an aquaintence who i cant delete who has started sending me loads of private messages but they are all links to online petitions! I dont even look at them now but one was a petition to save a little run down church the other end of the country. Neither of us have been there so why would i be concerned with that? How did he even find it?

I dont think he sounded jealous.
It does make me wonder though how these kinds of people coped before facebook? Years ago would these kinds of people be the loudmouth in the local pub bragging for attention?
I rarely post on my facebook and then people seem shocked at what im doing in life. I didnt feel the need to do constant updates about getting a house because it was of no concern to people i rarely see. When my partner and i decided to get married later this year i didnt do a big engagement announcement on facebook as none of them are going so it seems pointless.

Not only pointless, but you'd probably get a load of "Where's my invite?" comments or, worse, "Hmph. I see you've forgotten your friends. *angry face*" Very wise of you.
Ha - we'd probably get a load of DS Advice threads about "My facebook friend is a b1tch - she hasn't invited me to her wedding".
Argh!!!!
What fruit are you?

What kind of table are you?
What painkiller are you?
What shape are you?

All of them!! Been on FB for about 2yrs..mainly to play games...never post status....I know a lot of nice people but WHY do they all update status with misery??????????? Most do...heck ...find some real friends to talk to instead of depressing everyone!! Sorry....sad but true!
What I'd like to know is, when you hide something, why can you still see it when you visit that person's own page. What is it about the word hide that's so difficult to understand?
I do get a bit bored with all of the 'my princess is so brave, she's just grown her first tooth' types of posts from all the mums on my timeline but I'd much rather those to 'gonna reck the town tonight' types of posts.
The worst ones though and I've got one friend on fb in particular who is notorious for it is the 'i'm so bored wot 2 do' and 'i've got the mega munchies and i've just eaten a 3 course meal' posts when she is quite grossly obese.
announcing the pruning of their friends list and soliciting reasons you should be kept on, then the second announcement that if you can read the new status you aren`t in the half percent of the six hundred now gone.
Had to delete a family member the other day after their latest whinging post about something. She moans about something everyday but doesn't say what. Then the replies are only from her kids and she won't elaborate further. I could have hidden her but thought I'd just get rid.
Also, is taking a selfie with your new baby a new trend? Had three separate posts of them today alone.
Ugh the endless pictures and heartfelt words about their siblings, because its national siblings day dont you know!
I googled it. Yes its kind of a real thing but it was YESTERDAY. Why are people jumping on the bandwagon now and clogging up facebook with happy siblingsday messages?

This. So sick of these bloody things popping up. I feel like replying, "You're not a film, you're not a country, you're not an effing Disney villain." What is the attraction of these quizzes?!
I have a 'friend' who is selling Herbalife and her claims are getting worse by the day. Not comtent with claiming it would 'cure' my PCOS, it not can cure bi-polar and depression as well. That and the constant Herbalife photos, and the comments from other sellers about how amazing it is.
This is the same person who is panicking about an operation that could help her, yet had no issues when she was getting her DD implants done.... Maybe the Herbalife will help her there too?

- A fascinating update from a friend who literally thinks her boyfriend shits out the sun every night.

Shes been online and so far three people have asked whats booked and shes ignored them all.
Attention seeking?
