No offence taken
Worst Facebook status updates (Part 2)
143 of 164
I know somebody (an ageing adult male) whose Facebook status updates consist of absolutely nothing but his latest Bubble Witch Saga levels. Nothing else at all!
'Cant believe my wonderful, loving 97 year old nan / grandad / aunt / uncle died 10 years ago today. Miss you so much...'
10 years? You really need to have learnt to have moved on by now.

Agree, just place some flowers on their grave or something.
There is a woman on my fb who adds about 10 selfies to her wall every other day. They are all the same pose, head tilted to one side, vacant look at the camera.

Woman on my friend list does this all the time. Mostly to her son who lives in the same house !! Just tell him, he's probably sitting 3 feet away from you. Aaaagh !!!!!
The female friend from school has now got engaged to her latest long term feller on her birthday.
Happy for her obviously.

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.”

This is actually a good thing about Facebook. It's like an instant filter to let you know which of your friends to keep and which ones to totally avoid in the future!!

My FB wall has cool memes, interesting links, funny and informative videos, updates on my best friends trip to Sri Lanka, all sorts of good stuff.
My Instagram feed has wicked photos from people I follow.
If people post bilge on FB or IG, I delete or unfollow them. The reason your FB or IG is being cluttered up by garbage is because you let it. That's your fault, not theirs.
A girl on my feed updates her cover photo every other day. It's rarely a new photo - just recycling of one of the 5 or 6 she's used 20 times before. What's worse is that every time she does it she gets about 20 likes with "lookin gorge hun" and similar such bilge.

Oh god yeah, girls who reply to compliments like "Nothing on you babe" and "Says you".
I often get lost, scouring random people's profiles and end up on American and Asian profiles, and the amount of creeps who actually comment on their pictures is amazing. Then I remember - I'm here, creepin' on a random stranger picture so who am I to talk?
At least I don't post anything though

Reminds of this:
*THIS IS A TRUE STORY.
A woman was queuing in a supermarket when rudely, a woman in a burka with three screaming children pushed in front of her. Despite polite protestation, the Muslim woman refused to move. “We don’t cut queues in this country, you’ll have to go to the back of the line” said the woman.
The Muslim woman turned and said, “I don’t care. This country is a pit of sinful heretics who don’t deserve my obedience. You’ll have plenty of time to queue in hell after being judged to Shariah Law”
The cashier then turned and said, “Hang on, love. This stinks of a made up story to share on social media! There are no sources cited, no links to news articles, no evidence AT ALL to suggest that this has happened. I mean, come on. This supermarket doesn’t exist. Neither do you two. Nor me, come to think of it. Snopes.com would bust this story wide open in about thirty seconds, it’s that ****ing tenuous. In fact, the genesis of this story could probably be found in a bulletin board post or circular email originating from an AOL email address from 1996, and it was lies then, too. Basically, it’s a lie. A lie spread to infuriate the stupid. Much like the raison d'être of the tabloid newspaper industry, Samantha Brick or Katie Hopkins. You’re being trolled for a reaction to get attention or money.”
The cashier took a deep breath.
“Now **** off out of my imaginary supermarket!”

While I see what you're saying, I think the death of a loved one can still affect people after a long time and you sound a bit harsh. I still think of my nan sometimes who died some years ago
Pictures of babies or kids. All of them. For every baby picture posted I've started posting a picture of my cat.

Do you feel the need to tell everyone of you FB friends though every anniversary for the sole purpose of having people give you the attention as that's the ONLY reason folk do this. Bugger all about their grief and everything to do with their narcissistic behaviour and ego.
I've now been off FB for two whole weeks and I feel fabulous. No more looking at inane status updates, reading 'inspirational' bollocks or the endless faux messages of support of certain needy friends every time they have one of their self-induced crises.
Interestingly, none of my so-called friends appears to have noticed I'm not on there any more. They're too busy being self-obsessed.

Like you say ... move on!

I dont feel the need tell everyone on my FB. I think about it on my own really or try to.

There's a few on my feed who post at least 15-20 pics of their kids every single day.
There's the morning ones of them in bed before they're woken up. Then them eating breakfast. Then their chosen outfit for the day. Then them playing or looking at a TV then pics from playgroup. All with captions like 'a boy and his bike' or 'my heart lives outside my body now'. Collages of them in the bath or sitting eating etc etc. Status updates telling us how their kid has a snotty nose but no temp, an hour later telling us they now have s temp. An update ten minutes later informing everyone they're covered in baby sick.
Get s bloody grip.
Now don't get me wrong. I love kids. They're great but I'm sick to death of some people assuming everyone wants to see every single move their kids makes, there's a few I'm genuinely just sick of the sight of. Like their kid is somehow special and more important than everyone else's.

But do you post it on Facebook to get likes from your friends or 'aww sorry Hun xxx' replies?
My dad died suddenly from a heart attack 13 years ago, I never forget it's impossible as I was there when it happened, but I keep that offline
