King prawn Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Click baits do my head in. 'Star Barcelona man set to join premier league superstars' You click the link and Barca's kitman has joined West Brom I'm with you. These sorts of pages used to be quite good at the beginning. They would show clips of great shots or brilliant putts etc from all sorts of sports. Unfollowed all of them now since the click bait nonsense has started - "YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT WAYNE ROONEY DID IN TRAINING IT'S THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS THING EVER" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic denial of the fact that Vegan food tastes like utter shite, but they've now committed to being a vegan so they can never go back or they're a quitter.

Sarah O Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Currently reside in a snowy environment.

Not to even start on folk who stop to put chains on when it snows... But the roads are still grey. Sickening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboHeriot Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Really doesn't sit well with me when people post about a relative dying, particularly if it's on the same day. If it's a few days after and they're announcing when the funeral will be/telling their friends about it then that's not so bad. It seems like major sympathy fishing for me.

As crass as it may seem to some of us. What annoys me more is when people post messages on FB to someone who has just had someone close die. Great example last week, the husband of a girl i worked with for a few years died of a heart attack at just 33, there was nothing at all on FB etc from the poor widow as you would hope but loads of people posting "so sorry for your loss, my heart is breaking etc" - sympathy and empathy is all well and good - but effin text her or pm her, you don't need to show the world that you're being sympathetic.

Keeping up with lots of people back home for example or just random conversations such as the one i ended up having with 3 or 4 friends last night about Top Gun. Similarly, we're involved in a fight to keep our kids school open and given the administration's blatant non-communication it's been a good place to talk to others in the same boat, organize things etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tian447 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I must have mentioned this before but: People who write Happy Birthday posts to their friends. But not on that persons page, no no no, how would they get attention that way. What they do instead is write their own post and tag the friend in it, so you end up with: "Happy Birthday to my bestie 4 lyf *insert brain dead cow here*. Couldn't live without you chick, have a wonderful day xxx" This is desperately trying to gain attention by clinging on to the back of something that has absolutely **** all to do with you, and it drives me absolutely insane. If you're really going to do a Facebook post, do it on their wall you attention seeking boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
