To be honest, the pictures of the kiddies don't bother me that much. For the most part I have no interest in most of these kids, but their first day of school at the very least is a significant event. (Unlike Billy's first successful toilet poo, or Sarah's twelfth tooth falling out)
The only thing that bothers me is the slushy lovey dovey comments that come with it. A girl on mine has lengthy comments on her sons first day picture gushing about all the amazing things teacher told her about child on his first day. He's very well behaved, his manners are impeccable, he gets on well with all the other children, he's one of the brightest in the class, she has such high hopes for him... Now I'm not a teacher, but I really can't envision that a teacher would be able to form such detailed opinion on a five year old on his first day. I'd imagine they'd be more troubled with having to deal with 20 toddlers desperately confused at where their Mammy has gone. Maybe this kid could be the next Einstein, but the teacher isn't going to realise that on the first day right? |

Oh, and to evoke to a very old post of mine buried somewhere within this thread, I'm in the middle of another of the "hollibobs" lady's weeks away from work.
Actual non-edited posts: Saturday: "Yaay, day one of my holibobs xxx" Sunday: "Day two of my holibobs xx" Monday: "Day three of my holibobs, goin so fast "Tuesday: "Fourth day of mu holibobs!! xxxx" |

Well I did it again....I couldn't hold my tongue. A good friend of mine (who is well henpecked) put as his status 'That's me ironed all the kids uniforms, I've bathed them and put them to bed and done all their packed lunches. Off to bed now cos I am dropping them off to school before work..nite nite'. I replied 'Whipped!'!
I know for a fact he does EVERYTHING and his wife sits idly by, I know I shouldn't have commented but that's me.....I can hold my tongue sometimes but sometimes I just can't! |

Hmmm....I did post a status last week to tell everyone that I'd been knocked off my bike by a car and have broken my leg. I swear I didn't take any pics of me in hospital, though! (Although I did later post a pic of a huge bruise on my leg haha!!)
I wasn't fishing for sympathy, though. Just felt like a more convenient way of telling everyone what had happened without having to make dozens of phone calls. You had a good reason for posting. Hope you are repairing well.This person had the old tube up her backside jobby so really I should be grateful for the photo that we got

I find myself using Facebook less and less these days . I used to log in several times a day, but these days it's maybe 2 or 3 times a week . It's just full of the same people moaning about the same things they were moaning about 3 years ago.. and games requests.
Also like d's it seems to be full of ads these days. |

Don't you just love friend clear outs?
Someone who follow's me on Twitter has deleted me from their FB page. I almost felt like Tweeting "I feel like a Facebook friend clearout" and seeing their reaction. But when i checked their Twitter profile, no posts had been made since June. |

Joined some buy and sell groups once to sell a car. Took a strump and unfollowed them all there now. My entire news feed was composed of people demanding £20 for an old jumper or £60 for a well worn pair of shoes, `no offers`. FS flog your old tat on eBay or a car boot sale, not on Facebook.

I do agree there's a lot of tat on these groups though. Some people are very optimistic about the value of their junk

You were on buy and sell groups, what did you expect? A rousing discussion on the effect of Earl grey tea?

I have finally hidden the posts of one of my biggest attention-seeker 'friends'. The status that did it for me was along the lines of: 'Am I really a horrible person? Tell me honestly...' Cue lots of 'aww hunl' plus the usual 'y say that hun?', 'u ok hun?' etc. Well, she frequently makes posts mocking and swearing about her estranged husband and father of her children (who can see these posts about their father), when she was the one who ended the marriage by having an affair! I wanted to say "YES...sometimes!". Quote:

"can't say on here. Will pm you."

Ah yes this reminds me of another FB gem which I see from time to time. The ones who announce they are having a FB friend clearout. Cue all the "I hope I don't get deleted comments"
![]() It seems like she's deleted everyone she went to school with including myself apart fromt two people. The mutal friends page says only shows two yet beside the icon it still says "10 mutal friends" Chrome has probably ****ed that up though in it's cache. |

Is it sad that whenever I see something tragic on Facebook my first thought is to come and alert this thread?
This isn't particularly big, but someone on my Facebook just shared a video. I'm not sure if she posted the comment or the original video poster did, but their view on it was "apsollutelly love this" I just can't that slide.. "apsollutelly"?!?!?!?!? |

I've already seen a picture of the teenager reportedly arrested for the arson attack, and I was tempted to comment "what happened to innocent until proven guilty" but that wouldn't appeal to the person's lynch mob mentality.

"What month are you?"
"What colour are you?" What dog breed are you?" "What Eastenders character are you?" "What gemstone are you?" "What country are you?" "What season are you?" "What song was written about you? "What is your guardian angel name? "What is your secret whatever" etc............etc..................etc..............................................................*yawn*

^^^ It's a new FB 'game', although chain letter is a more accurate title. Someone posts something along the lines of, "I know nobody will see my status but sometimes I like to dig a hole in my backyard, stand in the hole, and pretend I’m a carrot." If you respond, you receive this message via IM: Quote:
"Dear victim, I am sorry. I have lost at this game and now so have you! You liked or commented on my status so you must now post the following message as your status to continue the game (unless you have lost your sense of humour (Note the use of the passive-aggressive "unless you have lost your sense of humour." I know nobody will see my status but sometimes, when I am bored, I go into the garden, I cover myself in earth and I pretend I am a pepper. (choose a new vegetable when it’s your turn to pass it on to others! You get broccoli."
The person on my FB who does every single one of the "What month are you....? What cheese are you....? What colour are you....?" did this so I knew straight off it was going to be the latest craze doing the rounds. |
