DawnM Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I am just amazed that so many just put their lives out there with no scruples. One friend keeps posting about her depression over a man she dated for a long time and he broke up with her. He is on FB and SEES her posts. I just don't get it. What about you? One of you said something about an affair! Yikes! What has you shaking your head with status updates? Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirch Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Are you sure she didn't unfriend him when they broke up? I am amazed at the inanity of some of the things posted by teenagers I know.

shannatheshedevil Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Stupid question pregnancy posts from people with multiple children. If you've been pregnant 3 times, that is long enough to qualify you for an associates degree, which is also long enough to qualify you as an expert witness in court. The Pregnant seems to be going around in my group of friends along with a side of The Dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwickimom Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I hate the stuff people post just to get attention AND when they post lies. I know a person who is losing weight via pills and yet tells everyone she is working SO hard eating well and exercising. She posts every ounce of weight loss, but tells me she lost X amount of weight and posts Y amounts of weight (which are always bigger) So she basically constantly posts lies to make herself look and feel better. GEEZE. get a life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionfamily1999 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I have bigger problems with people that are snarky on other people's pages. For instance, A posts a link on B's page. C posts a snarky remark on the link. Arguing or deleting ensues. Then C and D (C's friend, not B's or A's) both post snarky threatening remarks on B's page, because A's account is private and they can't post on A's page. That, and finding out you're related to a troll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuntieM Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I have a very low tolerance for snark and will delete it in a heartbeat. One-upsmanship also annoys me. Rejoice with those who rejoice, grieve with those who grieve, don't turn their status update into a post about your own bigger-better-deal. Obscenity is uncalled for. If you can't be more literate than a stream of expletives, don't post. People who post links to inappropriate items when their friends list includes both adults and teens. Did you know you can make separate mailing list for friends? I always post with a G rating, but I have some extended family members who are also friends with my kids and I am about to ask them if they would please set up a kid-free list so that my teens need not read about their adult activities and interests. If you had a sister in law that had teens, and both you and the teens loved being able to keep in touch via fb, would you be offended if your sil gently suggested such a thing?

Dobela Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Right now we are most annoyed at the posts of some particular neices and nephews. The youngest turned 20 last weekend, the others are mid 20s to early 30s so adults, but still stupid. Anyway, besides the usual cursing and crude posts, yesterday they posted pictures of the party they threw for the 20yo. The pictures are of all of them drunk, including at least 3 of them passed out at some point, including the newly 20yo. In one picture 3 are trying to force feed one passed out.

Mrs. Frankweiler Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I started the original FB thread this morning, so you know what my pet peeve is! The other thing is something that doesn't really bug me....but I'd never do it myself: people who announce their brand-new pregnancy on Facebook. I always thought telling someone "the big news" was such an exciting and rare moment. Telling everyone you know in one fell swoop--well, I just don't get it. I mean, how many times do you get to tell a friend you're pregnant? Who knows...maybe I just liked to milk the attention! Getting the little "Congrats" comments just wouldn't do it for me. I would add that I can understand if many of your friends are out of the area and you don't talk to them on a regular basis. I'm in that situation as well...but I would still tell most of my friends first....then maybe around week 20 announce it on facebook for the out of towners.

Nakia Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 The ones that tell every.single.detail.of.their.life. "I am drinking my coffee" then an hour later "just dropped the kids off at school" then two hours later "going to the grocery store and doctor's appointment" then three hours later "kids home from school with tons of homework" then three hours later "soccer game was fun, then out to eat with grandma" then two hours later "off to bed, goodnight facebook!" That irks me to no end. I have blocked several friends for this. I was tired of a whole page of updates from one friend. Also, the posts about very personal stuff make me nuts. I have a co-worker who is on my friends list. She is going through a divorce and CONSTANTLY posts every terrible thing her ex does. It is so annoying. I mean, really, that is unnecessary. Yes, he is a jerk and left you for another woman, but we all know that and don't want to hear every detail of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but this reminds me of another peeve: Parents who allow their under-13 children to open Facebook accounts. I don't post crude things, but I do usually assume that my FB audience comprises adults, not kids. I have a separate list and exclude them when necessary, but I don't think they should be on Facebook to begin with, especially since they had to lie in order to get an account.

I think FB posts are the very same as standing in a group of all your friends (everyone you have on FB) and making a statement. If you did that face to face, you would be inviting reaction and comment. Why then do people get so mad at comments to their FB posts? Someone mentioned the anti-Muslim videos, for example. I've seen those go around. If a friend posted one, am I only allowed to agree, or has this person posted it publicly and therefore invited comment? She could have shared that with only the friends that she knew had the same sentiment. But by posting it to all I should feel free to say "whoa, what the..." or whatever I want to say about it. That's probably why I don't post much at all. I enjoy (mostly) reading what people are up to but I can't imagine that they want to hear my dull ramblings.

Guest Katia Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Status updates that are nothing more than advertisement for their business. It's one thing to have a FB page dedicated to the business, but when it's an individual who constantly "updates" about their business, trying to make it look like they "care" is really annoying. While this was irksome for me at first, I resolved the issue by simply hiding their statuses from my feed. I like these people as 'people' and didn't want to unfriend them because I thought that would make them feel bad. However, after having them on 'hide' for almost a year....I deleted them with no problem. People that would cuss, post suggestive things or inappropriate pics would get deleted immediately from my friend list. I don't care who they are. No one has ever done this....but that is something I would not tolerate. Young people and teens: I simply hide my statuses from them and then I don't have to worry about if what I am posting is 'ok' for a child to view. Now, I believe my posts are all G-rated, but I don't think kids need to see what an adult is doing. The only teens I have on my friend list are relatives or church members. I still don't think they need to be privy to my adult environment. It's easy to hide your stuff from them, but they still feel good because they are on your 'list' and your friending them makes their friend list grow....which seems to be the only important issue to teens anyway: a large number of friends :glare: Seriously, I read some of these posts and I wonder what kind of friends you all have?? These people would not be my friends either in real life or on FB. Delete, delete, delete. My FB is for ME. I have on there people I want to stay connected with....mostly because they all live so far away from me. If they don't want to be friends with me...they unfriend me. I'm ok with that! If I don't want to be friends with them....off they go. Honestly, FB should not be a stress or peeve to anyone. If it is; let it go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWOB Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I have a love/hate relationship with FB. I love being able to chit-chat with my family. I love hearing about the big events in their lives since I am so far away. I love re-connecting with old friends I've lost contact with. I love posting pics of my kids so my whole family can see, instead of sending pics to each individual. BUT, and it is a big BUT, I do have a few pet peeves I will share. 1) My sister left her husband of 20 years to "hook up" with an old friend she found on FB. She then proceeded to b!&*h and complain about everyone judging her, while also posting sick "I love also-married-new- flavor's name. Gross! Seriously, don't flaunt your illicit affairs on FB. 2) I have a family friend who is bound and determined to advertise every stinking detail of her on-again/off-again relationship with her cheating husband, including smack-talking hubby's mistress. Then she complains when people tell her she may be sharing too much. I would delete her, but it's like a train wreck and I cannot look away. 3) People making snarky comments about your status updates in a passive-aggressive manner. Dude, if you don't like what I post, just come out and say it. I'm a big girl. I can handle it. 4) Teen girl cleavage shots. Seriously people! Keep the ladies to yourselves. 5) I had one friend give a detailed, graphic account of her miscarriage. I get the pain. I've had two myself, but I just don't need to know the details. 6) As someone previously mentioned, people who blatantly lie or misrepresent themselves. I have one friend who I know for a fact cannot pay her bills, yet constantly posts about shopping and buying new cars. This one is more sad than annoying. I think that's it for now, but I get easily annoyed by stupid, so I may have to add some later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margo out of lurking Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) I always post with a G rating, but I have some extended family members who are also friends with my kids and I am about to ask them if they would please set up a kid-free list so that my teens need not read about their adult activities and interests. If you had a sister in law that had teens, and both you and the teens loved being able to keep in touch via fb, would you be offended if your sil gently suggested such a thing? *I* would not be offended, but that's because I'm the one who is sensitive to that. My sister was very offended after I had my dd unfriend her (my dd was 14, my sister used the f word, and the lack of, oh, any social responsibility or grace toward any younger friends on the list really bothered me). My sister then unfriended me and blocked me for several months. We are still not FB friends. I also no longer accept friend requests from dc's friends, or friends' children. Some of my posts may be PG--political, sarcastic, etc. I have no interest in making a separate list just because a younger child wants to have more friends. There are also a few dozen photos of a group of us as teens where we are smoking, drinking, etc. I don't have a problem with that, honestly, that was a very big part of my life then, but friends' younger children do not need to see these--none of their business, whereas my friends can see them or just not look.

I was uncomfortable reading about the the many parties and guys she was enjoying in her first year at college. There are some things an Aunt doesn't need to know. ;) The only thing I can think of that really irritates me are the religious and political posts and links that are followed by the instruction, "Wake up, people!"

I swear he sounds like he is part of some cult, everything that comes out of his mouth is in praise of this company. I cannot have a conversation with him that doesn't somehow come back around to this incredible multi-level marketing company. It is all he can talk about ! He keeps going on and on about how he made all this money in just one year and "you" can too if you invest with him and this company. I actually know first hand that behind the scenes he has borrowed most of the money from my parents to start himself with this company and they have yet to see a dime of it paid back. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoffeeChick Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I guard my fb account very closely. I ONLY friend those who are actually friends. So I only have about 50 or 60 people on my list and most of them are family. I don't care to know about the lives of just acquaintances and I guarantee they don't really care about me! :tongue_smilie: That said, I have friended some family members only to unfriend them right away. Constantly posting foul language (I'm pretty forgiving if the situation calls for a cuss word or two), inappropriate updates or pictures (TMI posts), always fishing for compliments, or constant b*tching will get my fb "friends" deleted. I don't really post very often anyways, and when I do it is usually something fairly inane. I don't even have many pictures because I like my privacy.

Pretty in Pink Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 What I would like to know is this: if you are so incredibly busy all day, every day with your stressful/hectic/crazy life then where in the world do you find the time to get yourself all fixed up and then pose around your home, taking 'random' snapshots of yourself to post on FB?! I have a friend who does this constantly. It's so weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughing lioness Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 is there some reason that he should have to hide his relationship? :001_huh: Possibly given his plans for the future, his family and background. The fact that his SO doesn't acknowledege the relationship at all causes me grave concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springmama Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 An old high school acquaintance keeps posting things about drinking vodka during the midday hours, then the other day she posted that she was looking forward to "getting some" since it had been a whole 9 months since her last time. She's a single mother of two small boys and I really worry about them when she posts things like this. I hope they are with their dad or another family member when she's drinking her vodka and "getting some" I shouldn't be surprised. As a teen this woman drank and smoked pot with her mother and had sex with her boyfriend in her bedroom while her mother was home. Then there are the parents of teens who drink together and one or the other will post the pics with detailed comments about last nights party. Yeah, I grew up in a real classy place, lol!

But how will your friends know what you're doing? What if they also wanted to get their oil changed, but were waiting until someone else was already there so they could sit next to them and text facebook?!? :lol: Those drive me a little nuts too.

I might be guilty of this, but not when I'm at the grocery store or oil change place. I like to post that I'm happy to be at my favorite Indian restaurant with my family, or at a local park (in case anyone wants to join me) or if I'm at a particular function for a kid or a friend and I'm proud of them I might post that as well.
