People who post 'think it's time for a break from Facebook', 'going to come off this for a bit' well do us all a favour and just do it! No need to let us know first

Yep, I know someone who is very good looking (if she's your type) and she posts lots of photos of her showing off her fake assets. Lots of men are drooling over her pictures and I haven't quite had the heart to tell any of them that she's probably not worth your begging her to go out with her as she has a reputation of attacking past partners when she doesn't get things her own way... I say reputation but she was the one that told me that one of her long term relationships ended because she stabbed him...

and strangely enough they never do.to be followed by a slew of 'friends' asking 'u ok hun? xx' 'inbox me babe " ..another I hate is the totally self important 'going on a friend cull.if you see me here later your one of the lucky ones'.....

If anyone does that on my page, I act first and delete them immediately. Attention-seeking seeking eejits.

Yet they are always still there the next day, posting away

How did you guess

They make me actually cringe.

Also the 'luv my gawjuss girl/boy/baby the world I do'.

Why put 'I do' on the end? And it's 'gorgeous' you absolute fecking moron.

Also, loving someone to the moon and back isn't exactly a long time to love someone

Just seen this one:

"Are any of my friends a nurse ?"

You just knew it would be followed by the usual "omg, wots up hun xx "

I've got the opposite, newly qualified nurses who think they are the dogs balls and go ott with the technical words when giving someone advice. I'm embarrassed for them when they do it.

The response should be "if you're actually friends, then you should fkucing know if one of them is a nurse!" And tbh, if you have someone on your friends list that you dont know but claims to be one, then why would you believe them?

It's like those folk that go "OMG, our Gemma has swallowed bleach. What do I do? Lol xx" Instead of actually contacting the emergency services. Complete attention seeking.

I've a question, which I'm sure has been asked before - how much of what we read and see on FB is real? Is it really mainly populated by attention-seeking, self-obsessed prats? And the people who respond to these numpties - do they respond because they genuinely care, or is it because they want to be liked by the person who posts? Is anyone really having such an amazing time as it appears they are, or is that just what they want everyone else to think?

I'd really like to know.

Can you tell I'm pissed off with FB? My irritation levels have reached epic proportions lately. It may be time to switch it off.

For anyone who likes Live At The Apollo, Hal Cruttenden had a good rant about FB which I'm sure many posters in this thread can relate to!


Ooh, ooh, I know this one!

I deleted my Facebook about a year ago and after the initial first few weeks of not using it I was fine. Trying to get out of the habit of clicking the app to scroll mindlessly down the wall was hard.

When I first joined Facebook it was interesting and people were putting up funny things that happened to them and interesting stories and pictures of interesting things. Now it's a boast fest with girls and guys just taking constant pictures of themselves at various angles and putting up bullshit stories to make themselves sound good. I got fed up of watching and listening to the crap so I deleted my account.

A couple of months ago I went back on because someone I know had died and I wanted to see what everyone was saying about it and it was as if I had never logged off, the same people still posting the same pictures in different outfits and the same status's from the same attention seekers.

It's the same with Instagram. When I signed up years ago there were funky pictures and they were creative and fun and now my page is filled with the same crap and passive aggressive crap that's on Facebook. And because it has filters there's 5 different versions of the same girl with a duck pout and a really bad contouring job.

Somebody recently posted a descriptive status about shittting her pants, glamourrising the act.

I've just watched him. Not seen him before, he's a funny guy and totally spot on about FB.

The friend who does the 'memorial' posts - yup; the friend that posts about how awful her life is prompting the usual 'what's up hun' & 'you'll get through it, you're an amazing person' comments - yup; the pictures of friends having the 'best new year ever with my amazing friends' (when there were only 7 people there one of whom was her 90 year-old mother-in-law) - yup. The level of self-indulgence on there is staggering. I'm disappointed in my friends.

BIB - so what's the answer

What did your friends say when you told them you weren't going to be on FB anymore? Were they horrified? For some people, it is like an addiction.

Someone on my feed has just posted that they've spilt a bottle of water on their duvet!!! FFS.

Has anyone else had an abundance of photos of people playing that 'Pie Face' game since Christmas Day?

I know a girl who appears to have the perfect relationship on FB. Getting married, romantic minibreaks, cosy nights in etc. I recently found out she and her fiancé can barely stand each other in reality, they sleep apart, have constant arguments about money and where to live after their wedding.

Do you know what is getting me down at the moment about Facebook? I don't know if this happens to anyone else but it's the lack of responses to my messages I send people.

Its like I bloody well don't exist. They get in touch when they want something but if I ask them for something they'll take weeks to get back in touch...

I just have nurses posting pictures saying things like 'nurses are just angels without wings, SHARE if you think nurses deserve a pay rise'

Speaking as a brother to a nurse, I agree about a payrise.

Anything that ends with SHARE IF YOU AGREE gets me boiling

Or, these new ones cropping up: "Don't share, say AMEN!"

UGH

Even worse are the 'Share = one prayer. Ignore and carry on scrolling if you're heartless'.

No less than three people on my friends list shared a post last week about a dog who had supposedly run into a fire to save its owners. And suffered 'horrific' burns. Scroll if you're heartless! Say amen' type.

The dog very clearly had a slice of boiled ham across its face.

What's even scarier is only half the comments were people pointing out the fact the dog wasn't scared for life but in fact simply had some ham on its face. The other half were people actually saying amen and wishing the dog a speedy recovery and saying how amazingly brave the dog was.

I was genuinely astounded.

The thing I struggle with the most on Facebook is the levels of utterly stupidity. I had known people for years and only realised they were monumentally dim once I added them on Facebook. Now I often wonder who helps them tie their laces.
