That is HILARIOUS and you're not being even a tiny bit cynical. Unless her x-rays have been sent away to bloody Truprint for processing. In fact the bandage held overnight bit is equally as funny. Oh the drama of it all! Will the bandage hold when hobbling to the loo? Will it unravel spectacularly under the duvet whilst she sleeps? Will she have ro be rushed back to A&E in the morning? What you call "gripping" really.

"Where's my hoverboard?" followed by a photoshopped picture from Back to the Future with the DeLorean's clock showing today's date.

The real date is in 2015... I can't wait for it to pass so we can finally put this thing that's been doing the rounds for years to bed.

Someone at work told me about this today too. I knew I'd heard it before. In fact I've heard it mentioned about 5 times with different dates. Surely it's not hard to just see the actual date from the film? Why so many people just accepting it's these other dates?

You know that photoshopped versions will still be doing the rounds in 2016 and beyond...

I'm getting fed up of the "in my day we played outside and the TV was a treat, we had no computers but had better games, there weren't pedos round every corner... share this if you had a PROPER childhood!" yadda yadda nostalgia nonsense.

Thankfully I don't have too many baby bores, but I do get "the alcoholics" - people who can't seem to pass a pub without commenting on it.

“had great day in Nottingham now having a quick one before the train home”
“just having a cheeky pint (or three!) after work”
“Found a bar that does tequila shots at 3pm – get in!”

And the resultant hangover statuses. Neverending attention seeking, winds me up it really does.

Has anyone else had 'neck nominations' doing the round on their Facebook? There's at least 10 videos or so of various people doing it on my newsfeed, and bizarrely they get tons of likes. It's just a person wearing a stupid outfit downing a drink!

Yep between that and the cimla gusher vid those seem to be the new trends going around

I've just deactivated my account for about the 12th time this year. I wonder how long I'll last. I can't stand half the crap on Facebook but it at least passes the time reading some of it.

"OMG I was nearly a goner tonight- almost died"

*cue a million "U OK hun? Wot happened" replies*

"fell on the pavement in my stilletos in front of a hot guy"

I despair.

I was drinking water while reading this and now it has exited my body via the nose, kudos to you and your stilettoed friend :P

I've been enjoying this thread for ages now but never commented on it. Usually because most of the people on my facebook aren't so bad but lately they gone a little odd.

This is one from my feed the other day:

Proud mummy moment,baby finally peed in the potty...go'ead me lil'kop chick!!xxxx

Yes!! Someone I have known since I was about 4 posted one the other day. Now all the time I knew her she was as northern as the rest of us and spoke with a northern accent. I was quite surprised, not to mention amused when she posted her "neck nomination" video and was speaking in a faux posh accent. I was like "where the hell has that come from?" Then again she fancies herself as a wannabe sloane so I shouldn't have been that surprised.

One that appears on my news feed tonight, a friend posting links to birthing videos from YouTube. Now I know it's a natural process and everything, but I don't really want to see someone's hairy mary splashed across my screen....

I'm not sure that I want to know what that is!


Are you able to translate that for us?

12 times in 1 month. You deactivate to literally come back after a days break?

Maybe just don't log on for a bit

Yes, me too. I bet they don't even donate the money, whether they get 1000 likes or not. It's pretty clear that their motivation is entirely self-serving, and all they want is attention.

I've just looked at my Facebook profile to see how I measure up!

I have to say looking back through my early years on FB 2007-10 (17-20) were pretty embarrassing. While writing essays I'd put status' with 'Only 500 words to go COME ON' and as a football fan I'd constantly swear in my abuse of something that happened etc.

Now I'm as placid as anything and wholly repentant of my actions! I've changed my FB profile picture twice since about 2010, and have only ever had four. (which is still a lot compared to some) and the only things I actually post are check-ins at football stadia and any other notable events I attend (such as the Chelsea Flower Show for work etc.)

So while I was probably a nightmare in my early years, I have become one of the cynical people in this thread and am now the angel Facebook user everyone wants (within reason )

I have a FB mum on my feed and I honestly think I've experienced her daughter growing up through photos and status updates more than the estranged father.

Someone on my fb, her five year old daughter has a rash on her body and she has posted loads of photos of her daughter completely naked asking if anyone knows what it could be

There is also someone on a selling site selling ten pairs ok knickers, used but in good condition!!!!!!!!!

Ewww. Worn knickers? Mind you some pervy bloke might be keen, save him having to steal them off washing lines.

doh! wrong thread....

And I'll bet this woman is one of the people who posts about "omg paedos using fb to get kids pics "

What about people who write statuses about being "poked" on face book , and come out with the lamest shit ever

" ooh just been poked , a whie since that's happened to me " etc etc .

"Oh my sides please have mercy I've never heard that one before ever !"

And people who go on about "poking wars " . Seriously ?? Grow the **** up.

Oh no sorry I thought it was still 2013.

I deactivated for about a month last August but it's so frustrating missing out on what your friends are posting. I then decided to just delete everyone that annoyed me and only keep my friends, but then my family started moaning at me and making drama so I had to add all of them back (some of them are so irritating with ther attention seeking posts) and so I decided to block myself from seeing any of their posts and only view my friends. Unfortunately though whenever I posted a status my family could still see it and comment on it so I then had to change my settings so only my friends could see my statuses. My news feed was then dull because I only could see about 20 friends updates so I ended up adding some people back and pretended to have "accidentally deleted them" and now I'm back to mass attention seeking updates and frustration.

What an annoyingly addictive creation.

edit - and to keep in line with the point of the thread, the thing that annoyed me lately was my friends (who all had fancy cars) would post pictures of the car at least twice a week saying "all washed and polished, ready to go " and tag everyone in it. I refused to Like or comment on any of them because I don't care about cars at all but I'd see everyone else tagged Liking it and going "omg it looks brilliant" and "wow its soooo clean".

Good on you chick lol same ere decamping lmfaoo! N naa rough un I looked monged! & na not yet boo but I onitt I got I'd xxx

I have seen this. Where on Earth did it come from? I don't think it's one of those pathetic things likw TOWIE or Made in Chelsea because the people who are doing it on my feed don't watch those kind of shows...or at least they never used to.


Exactly. Why need 1,000 likes to do anything? Why not just do it? I can tell she doesn't want to actually donate the money. If she did want to help out then it'd be done right away. No attention seeking at all.
