We offered a bed for free on the local buy and sell site. It was supposed to save us a trip to the dump and clearly stated collection only. We ended up with about half a dozen people wanting it to be delivered. One girl wanted it delivered down to penzance.. nearly 50 miles away and then called us time wasters when we refused.

It's the same on my local one I don't drive but I asked if I could have a sofa if I sorted a pickup out. Absolutely fine with that. But the amount of pure cheek some folk dish out is ridiculous! Someone was selling old Ann Summers stock a few weeks ago which everyone politely declined

There was a woman a few weeks ago desperate to sell a suitcase and was posting it and bumping it every hour. Someone actually bought it just to shut her up after a week of this threadbare suitcase shoved in our faces. Sometimes you wonder if the seller feels absolutely no shame trying to sell a soiled mattress for 200 quid!

Nothing to do with FB but a few years back my mate was selling her car on Autotrader. She lives in Kent and a guy from East London called and asked if she could drive it over to his house as he's banned at the moment but wanted a car ready for when he gets his licence back. He even said he'd give her money towards her train fare home if he brought it but added he could only pay £500 less than the asking price as the ATM had retained his bank card!

Thanks to people like you, this poor child can get his operation paid for by FB likes

I always make a point of deleting anything like that as soon as it arrives. Can somebody please explain to be the mechanism by which "liking" something on Facebook pays for anything? I'm convinced that 99.9999% of these are sick hoaxes.

I can not believe the amount of seemingly sensible people I know who put on their status these 'share to show you care about cancer/depression/world hunger 99% of people won't have the guts'

I mean, wtf???

The other week a girl on my Facebook posted a picture of her son wearing the 'new shoes daddy bought for him'. Um, she doesn't work, surely she should be posting pictures of all the child's clothes in that case?

I can understand people care, but lately I've been annoyed by the smugness of those sorts of memes about cancer/autism/show how much you love your kids etc, sorry

Only lately? These have annoyed me since I first went on Facebook in 2008!

Make that 100% as there is no mechanism.

"Told school *son* has dentist appointment this morn so he can enjoy the sun in his new paddling pool before school. Cant have him missin out on the best years of his life!"

Hmm i cant think of a single thing that could go wrong there!

Either a fellow mum will see it and gossip will spread about her faking appointments so her son doesnt have to go to school on time, or trusting a 5 year old not to tell anyone!

or his education

There will be other days when its sunny.. what a bellend that woman is

Hey, that mum is just doin the best for her little man, schoolin and followin da rules ain't important when the sun is shinin bro!

"Come on you good for nothing dogs! In the shower, brush those knashers, put something half tidy on and look for some work you lazy dossers!"

Oh my God.

Has anyone else seen these 'five out of five positive days' challenges that are doing Facebook at the moment?

Oh yes, at least 4 of my friends are doing that, a couple have tagged me to do it which I've ignored - most of their positive posts start with "the sun is shining" and the next day "sun is still shining"

I'm still getting the flipping "which kind of . . . . are you" - seriously I don't care what Disney character, gem stone, weather feature or any other carp (deliberate SP ) you are, I'd delete the worst culprit but she is an actual friend who is an ok woman apart from her addiction to these silly things ! !

one of mine was so happy as her husband had bought her a new hoover....

the same one that recently posted this. vomit.

Is feeling very thankful.... i'm watching .....and her mate making a boat out of boxes and listening to .... and his mate playing Minecraft, .... is pottering between the 2! I am making a party lunch as it's the Rabbit's Birthday so we need to celebrate! I am soooooo grateful for them being so happy and being so small, I might have no freedom and ..... and I might not have been out on our own since September last year but I don't care!! These are the best times ever!

Is there something special about Virgin Radio Lebanon? A couple of facebook friends like to share a few things they post.

I've had a friend who was bragging how she "ad too talk ma boy out off porposin but now ah wish ee ad, we guna waight til nxt yaer,"

Her boyfriend has chucked her and now all we hear is how "propha hartbroking" she is.

In the space of 48 hours I've had 3 different people asking via their FB status what they should do with their kids or a day out. How do WE know what YOUR kids would like to do, what you can afford and where you might like to go. Do these people not have Google?

You've got a friend who had to talk her boy out of behaving like a dolphin type mammal?

I thought dolphins were intelligent...?

That's what the gossip says apparently m

"Yes, I made a mistake. My problem is that I care about people too much. Am I perfect? No, but nobody is. If I'm the bad guy for being kind hearted and trying to do my best for other people then so be it. I don't have a bad bone in my body."

"People need to mind their own business. My life, my choices, my responsibilities, my mistakes, my consequences."

"Hate it when someone you love is hurting and there's nothing you can do to help them."

Bleurgh. You get the drift. Some guy on my feed posts about 20 statuses like this a day, gets TONS of likes and comments and always plays the victim and manipulates people into calling him a "nice guy" and "inspirational". This is the guy who got banned from driving for speeding and has a GBH history...
