I saw someone earlier (Belfast telegraph fb, its no one i know) who was complaining about political prisoners being put on 'peddle stools'. (pedestals). It must have been Ronan Keating.

I'm getting bored of these click-bait articles that people put up. You know the ones, they have titles like this 'you wouldn't believe what this guy just did'

The amount of videos people share these days!!! Even worse when you're scrolling down they start automatically. Pretty much every video people share on facebook is shit as well.

I only really use facebook for the buy and sell sites now, even they provide a good source for drama.

I saw someone the other day trying to name and shame because the dishwasher they bought off the site went wrong after 9 Months. Along come the usual armchair lawyers quoting the sales of goods act and telling her to take them to the small claims court.

Have you ever tried actually clicking on one of them? You need to scroll through loads of crap and click on various other links to find out what the bastard bloody did!!

I hate the ones like this:

"She puts mushrooms in a microwave. You won't believe what happened next!"

I have someone on my list who, at least once a month for the past few years, posts something about how 'gourgus" her daughter looks today.

I really can't stand it much longer and am going to have to say something to her soon.

A woman has sadly had to have her cat PTS. She posted a photo of

Why? Just Why ??

A lot of people on my list say 'gawjuss'. It literally makes my teeth it it annoys me so much. It doesn't make a single ounce of sense. It sounds zero like the works gorgeous. And, honestly, it's not a hard word to spell just stop being so lazy you stupid morons.

I have more people on ignore now than not. I can't deal with the monumental levels of sheer thickness you see on Facebook on a daily basis.

I have a friend who posts statuses like that, the other half of them are "I don't care about getting a girlfriend as no one cares about decent people anymore" or "Why am I alone, I'm so lonely" For ****'s sake they can't have it both ways

It's attantion seeking plain and simply.

At first I felt quite bad for them, if I repeatedly posted things like that I'm glad to say I have friends and family who would be very quickly telling me to get a ruddy grip/check I was okay. These people obviously don't have that.

But it the constant never ending barrage of these pitiful over shares and cries for attantion that very very quickly get old.

Of its not that it's the 'I'm not racist but.....' Racists who share stories about musslimbs kicking off in made up supermarkets etc etc

Anyone else had their FB newsfeed flooded with photos of the little darlings dressed up for World Book Day today? :yawn:

Yes! Lots of pirates and Harry Potter this year.

Last year it was all frozen and iron man/thor/captain America.

Do at least this year most seem to have actually gone with books not movies.

I'm not sure FB is for you if you can't tolerate one day of the year when proud parents are proud of their fancy dress skills.

Someone's child on my Facebook went as Miss Trunchbull from Matilda. That was the most original one I've seen, lol.

Just as a warning. If Adele is coming to your local arena there will be hundreds of posts from your friends, family and various news profiles. Thank f**k she is out of belfast

Someone one mine has shared another persons "world book day" with photo of a child holding a toaster and another child holding a hairdryer with the comment (WTTE) "forgot about WBD so kids going as pages 88/89 of the Argos catalogue" I'm sure it's a send up but amusing anyway

Sometimes it's a blessing Cornwall doesn't have a stadium - downside to that is we do get The Wurzels quite regularly

I'm not sure DS is for you if you can't tolerate someone having a moan on a thread that is specifically for that purpose.

Don't know about worst status update, but I've just had someone accept my friend request sent sometime in 2010 !!!

I'd long since forgotten all about it.

Ive got 2 or 3 I havent accepted, because we have a mutual friend but I dont know them.

Why send a request to a virtual stranger?

At least send a private message saying who you are.

There was a girl I knew from school who sent me a request, who followed up with a message, as she'd got married in the intervening years.

There was another girl who lived near me, who sent me a request, again she'd got married. I managed to work out who she was, as she was on the same group!

Wasn't a virtual stranger. It was a work colleague who I get on well with, but who evidently doesn't go on facebook very much, as it shows he has now just become friends with me and 51 other people !!!

I've seen it all now. Quite literally! A friend of mine is really into the whole natural childbirth thing and is a doula. She is forever posting stuff about breastfeeding, photos, articles and stuff. My gripe isn't that, sone of the stuff is quite interesting. Today however her offering was a photo of a woman "birthing her own child and having a rest between contractions." Nice photo of a baby's head poking out of a blood drenched fanny. I think we all know childbirth is a natural human process without detailed photos lol. To be honest the photo made me feel a little sad that even something as personal as childbirth has to be social media fodder these days.

To be honest, I was speaking generally.

The 3 I've got pending, seem to have requested me, because I'm friends with one of their friends.

I don't even recall ever interacting with them.

Now I had one last year, who asked me if I was related to someone(I wasn't), but I accepted her, as she had a mutual friend.

The ones that annoy me, are the ones who work in the same office as you, have a mutual friend with you, they come up on your feed, you request them & they decline & block you for no reason.

She tries to be matey with our department(I hardly talk to her anyway!), but no one trusts her, as she's the department director's PA(which she hates being described as, not that we care anyway!).
