One of my friends has posted a picture of a man clutching his chest, with the caption, "Share if you hate cancer. Ignore if you want your parents to die of it."

I have no words.
I normally ignore these things, but in this case I would have had quite a few words.
I had someone on my Facebook posting selfies of themselves smiling infront of the poppies at Tower of London. Is it just me or is this a tad inappropriate? It's a tribute to the war dead so it's like doing a selfie at a cemetery!
I went to see the poppies last week, and I should think a thousand people were taking selfies at once. It is just the way of things these days. Last time I went to an actual funeral, people were tweeting during the service at the crematorium.
I don't know where it's come from but the new annoying fad seems to a supposed challenge where nominated people have to post five photos which make them happy. There seems to be no purpose other than gaining a few 'awww hun' comments.

I'd like to respond by saying this photo makes me happy!
I did that one, and so have lots of my friends. I can't honestly see anything wrong with it. I took ages and ages choosing five photographs that really meant something in my life, and have been touched to see friends doing the same. The 'purpose' is to share with your friends something that is very personal and important (and generally positive) to you. I don't think it needs more justification than that.

Earlier tonight, a woman on my Facebook announced that she didn't enjoy Take That's performance on the X Factor and thinks they should give it up. Fair enough, her own opinion, right?

Well apparently it's not. She got a barrage of comments saying how wrong she was yada yada, and to this very moment she is STILL trying to backtrack, saying how much she loves them, how wrong she was etc. I just find the whole thing so awkward. Have some backbone and go against the grain love? If you thought they were shit, then so be it!

This gem! I will shorten it because its long but you get the idea...

Poster: "8 months until our big day! Cant wait to marry you *fiance* .... (Long rambling post about how in love they are)

Followed by about 6 nice messages about how excited her friends are, and then this..

Uncle: what? My invite says the wedding is next week. Ive booked time off work already.
Poster: didnt dad tell you? We had to delay it by 8 months.
Friend 1: when were you going to tell me?
Friend 2: wouldve been nice to have been told! Were you gona send new invites out or just let people turn up next week?
Poster: well i told some people and they were meant to spread it so everyone knew! Not doing new invites just for a date change. Its same time and place just diff date
Friend 2: what date????

My moneys on some people turning up next week! Seriously know who invites people to a wedding and then doesnt inform them that its been posponed for 8 months? I mean its a week before the original day and she hasnt told most of the guests!
Someone at work is getting married next September. She talks about it a lot but no where near bridezilla level yet. I've told her about this status as a warning

Im suprised as nothing more has been said! Maybe she got the hint and took the time to inform people!

She hasnt shut up though. She ranted a few days ago about people bitching at her because they had to cut down the number of page boys and bridesmaids due to the restrictions on how many can fit into the registary office.

Then theres endless statuses about her bloody dress! She updated us that she had an email that her dress had been finished, then another that it had been dispatched and will be here in two weeks, then another than it had cleared customs and was on its way.

God help us when it gets here! Shes already caused an argument over it though. Her best mate wanted to be the first to see it, but her mum told her she cant because she wants to be first. Cue an argument between the three of them!

Tbh im looking forward to the pics

Eta the whole bridesmaid thing is quite amusing. They got engaged and planned the wedding almost immediately (for the original date that was cancelled, it was only a few months after the engagement. I think this is the third date in total)

She has no full siblings but has lots of half brother and sisters. Basically she had something like 2 half sisters, 3 sister in law to bes, a few little neices, and several "best" friends who she all promised could be bridesmaids!

Of course its all hit the fan now that the wedding has been finalised and the office can only allow a few close members of family, so basically her bridesmaids would be it! So now shes taken away bridesmaid status from almost everyone leading to huge rows on facebook.

As an onlooker i cant work out why people are getting so worked up about it?

I've had to delete someone today, who I went to school wth. as she posted EIGHT status updates before 9.30am. All like "Morning all xxx", "Just going to tidy up then have a nice bubble bath xxx" and the riveting "Just got out the bath. All clean now xxx"

ARGH! How about stop breeding (she has 5 kids, no fathers around) and get a job!!

^ If anyone told her to get a job and leave the children with a nursery or childminder during the day, she'd probably miss the point and angrily respond that they were accusing her of not being able to look after her own children!

Not a status but today it's 10 years since my father died and my family are really annoying me on Facebook. Firstly they keep messaging me with *hugs* and "thinking of you <3" comments which you know, is fine, but means I'm put in a position where I have to say something in return to them (and I'd rather deal with things my own way) and then they started writing on my wall, tagging me in photos and statuses and videos and basically putting pressure on me to do the same as them or make a big status about it. One of my cousins has already posted a novel in her status about how much she misses him and stuff and I dunno, I'd rather they just kept that sort of private stuff out of everyone's news feeds.
I hate that - it's so disrespectful! Especially if the person they're talking about wasn't a Facebook user, which your Dad obviously wasn't.
Last year when my grandmother died, extended family members like nieces and nephews were posting all sorts on Facebook when my mother and uncle (my grandmother's children) hadn't even posted anything.
I don't have a Facebook profile myself but as my Mum was so upset I felt I had to get involved and ended up ringing them to politely ask them to delete the posts. They did delete them but after a few days they put new ones up.

The comments on these posts annoyed me no end too. They were making out that they were really close to each other and lapping up the sympathy, when in reality they hardly saw each other from one year to the next and only talked on the phone slightly more frequently than that.

And don't even get me started on messages of condolence left on relatives profiles! A comment on Facebook is in no way a substitute for a sympathy card - totally inappropriate and disrespectful IMO. It annoys me enough when people leave a comment on someone's profile on their birthday in lieu of a card (I'm talking about close friends and relatives, not acquaintances or people you went to primary school with and haven't seen since), but comments in lieu of sympathy cards are the lowest of the low.

Im going to have to delete a friend for being a pain. He is forever being "fraped" at work and it isnt funny. Most people would delete a status they didnt write but not him because it gives attention. Fine if your 13 but not when youre 30!

And the happy wedding couple? Yesterday she was slagging him off for not helping around the house and airing all their dirty laundry on facebook and the wedding was off!

Today shes looking forward to it and its back on! His mum was sucking up to her, yet last night she was slagging him off no end! Its a complete joke tbh and completely takes away the whole point of marriage.

That must take her longer to write than if she just wrote it normally

I found this a bit distasteful. Someone i know recently got given an emergency council house after her rented house and contents were all lost. She had a few bagfulls of stuff and that was all. People donated furniture to her be ause she couldnt afford to buy anything.

A few months on and shes now putting stuff what people donated to her on those facebook selling pages because shes buying new stuff!

Surely something in your head would be telling you that if you can afford new stuff then its better to give the old stuff to a charity that could give it to people in similar circumstances to yourself and help someone else out if theyve also lost everything?

But no, shes just looking to make a few quid before xmas! None of it is good quality stuff that people will actually buy, but its perfect for people who literally have nothing and need the basics.

Some people are just so thick skinned and wrapped up in themselves that this does not surprise me. A lot of people are on the make or take.
