More People Who Post More Annoying Things on Facebook



A few months ago I wrote this list of annoying Facebook habits.  Today I have some more to add:

1.  Adults who post they going to accompany their spouse and/or partner to doctors' appointments.

Busy day!  Took the day off today so I could take Brennan to lunch and then the dentist!

WTF?  You are grown adults.  Unless you are required to have anesthesia you do not need a designated driver for the dentist.  Grow a pair, Brennan, and drive yourself.

2.  Anyone who posts their Pinterest pins.  When you pin something and it asks if you want to notify all your friends on Facebook, just say NO.  None of us care about most of that crap.  Plus, if I want to see what your dream kitchen looks like, I'll check out your Pinterest account.

And for the love of all things holy, stop with the Keep Calm and Carry On/Pet a Puppy/Watch Out for Zombies/whatever new fucking thing is we're saying now.



I hate these things.
3.  People who make their Facebook and Twitter statuses the same and/or combined!?  I fucking hate hashtags and that's why I'm not on Twitter very much.  Keep the hashtags off my Facebook feed.  It drives me nuts and I'm never going to go log onto Twitter to see what the hell your #supafly means.

4.  People who post scripture.  Truly, this is the most ironic thing for me when you look at my friends' list.  The majority of my "friends" who continually post scripture and religious pictures are the ones who were the biggest assholes to me back in the day and still never comment on anything I say on FB or, God forbid, interact with me in any way in the flesh.  All of a sudden NOW they're all spiritual?  Have they repented or something and now they think they can save me?  The really ironic part is the ones who I know go to church every Sunday, pray regularly, talk to me in public, (even read this blog) - you know, walk the walk and talk the talk - are the ones who NEVER inundate my FB feed with scripture.  Really makes me wonder.

5.  People who post quotes that are supposed to be inspirational.  Ugh.  I left the corporate world long ago so I wouldn't have to look at another poster that said shit like "What Would You Attempt to do if You Knew You Could Not Fail?"  (Buy lottery tickets.)  That's what Pinterest is for.  Put that shit on Pinterest so I never have to see it.

6.  People who kiss ass.  I don't know how to explain this one very easily.  I have a friend on FB who posts the most annoying shit like, Taking in another gorgeous sunset on my patio with my even more gorgeous wife.  She is my all.  And then his friends will comment on his bullshit musings with stuff like:
  • Well said, partner. 
  • You have an amazing woman there, lucky guy.
  • Cherish this time together.
  • You have such a gift with words, Horace.
Seriously?  I get it on my wall too - but I am a genius with my musings and I deserve all the ass kissing I get, this guy is just a hack.

7.  People who photograph their dinners.  I am scrolling through my Facebook as I write this and I've seen no fewer than 7 photographs of my friends' dinners.  Only one looks good enough to eat.  What is this all about?  Is this a new form of overachieving??

8.  People who "check in."  Why do I care that you're at Costco or Starbucks or Disneyland?  This is when I totally need a WTFC? button.

9.  Stop making your baby bump and/or sonogram pics your profile picture.

I know, I know, we're all guilty of this stuff just about every day, but the bottom line is if I like you a lot then you can post just about anything on Facebook and I'll read it and comment and "like" it.  If I think you're kind of a douche then no matter what you write on Facebook irritates me.  It's probably time to clean house and get rid of some of my "friends," but then who would I have left to make fun of?

Just so you know I'm not perfect, here is a random sampling of my boring and/or annoying comments on FB lately:

  • BLAH.  B-L-A-H.  This weather makes me feel blah.  Blah.
  • A friend posted a picture of a pen with my real estate logo on it and I totally whored myself out.
  • Got my heart-shaped pizza!
  • Pimped out links to about a bazillion times to HuffPost pages I wrote.
See?  I need help just as much as the next guy.

I agree with all of those. I'm guilty of posting alot when I'm bored, but I try to at least keep it random and entertaining. I love posting those random things we all think about but rarely say out loud. The only person who rarely finds me amusing is my soon to be ex-husband. :) But he's one of those ass hats who posts check-ins all day. Yes, we all know you eat fast food/restaurant fare no less than twice a day. WTFC

TNMom said...

Hmm, guilty. I use FB to keep in touch with friends and family that I don't see all the time. I care about what they are doing/their kids, they care about what I am doing/my kids. The people that I dont know well, I just hide them. They can feel free to hide me or defriend me, I dont care! I have recently become a friend snob, if I dont know you or like you - I dont be friends with you! Im happier.

Though some of this bothers me, some dont (some may on one day but not the next), I do some, I hide some people, I'm sure they hide me, I know that your blog was/is written for amusement and I take it in the light nature in which it was/is intended, and did have a good laugh, as usual! :)

TNMom said...

Hmmm, guilty.
I use FB to keep up with REAL friends and family that I dont see all the time. I care about them and they about me (and eachothers kids). I have recently become a friend snob - if I dont know you or like you - I dont be friends with you. There are people I have hidden, and I am POSITIVE there are people that have me hidden, as I am annoying and sometimes borring. I would encourage hiding, it's my new favorite thing to do. I think my husband has me hidden - LOL. (Thats when you know it's bad!)

All that being said, I take this blog as it was intended - a funny joke, and I did laugh - as usual!

Great, if everyone has blocked me then I don't have to worry! There's no need to stop! In fact for the next ten days I can do one annoying thing per day from Jen's list without worrying! Today I think I'll just post some Adele lyrics - she's on my ipod now! (and because Jen used this example in her earlier blog)!

Nancy said...

I can't stand the people who announce their workouts on FB. I really can't stand the people who announce their "friend culls" "If you see this post then you survived round 1 of friend cutting..."

Call me old and cranky but every time FB has upgraded for me, it has not been an improvement.

Tonya said...

Get out of my head! Keep Calm and Be Awesome.

I have no clue why those Keep Calm posters are even cool. I feel like I missed the bus to Coolville where it is all explained at a How to Be Cool seminar.

Tazi Kat said...

lol...I delete my hash-tag statuses (Twitter posts them automatically to FB) and never post pics of my dinner (Dry cat food, anyone?). I know one person who is "dieting" and has gained weight. I am guessing she posts pics of her dinner to try and convince the world that she really is eating healthy.

Anonymous said...

What about pictures of feet? Ugh - I hate those. I don't care how cute you think your feet are - all feet are ugly. And its almost spring, so be prepared.....there will be lots of pictures soon.

Anonymous said...

People who use the same trite,phony status updates that everyone else uses as if they're being original. "I can't believe my baby is __ years old! ____, you are the light of my life, and make me proud every day! Happy Birthday, sweetie!" Also, people who frequently brag about their kids.

Anonymous said...

Kate, when your current state of affairs is "taking a shit on the toilet" why shouldn't you post that as well. Or "Just got my ass rammed by hubby, no Mexican tm so i can keep these undies clean"

Suzanne said...

Right! The chances are pretty damn good that your child is NOT superior to everyone else's!

Christi said...

What about stupid chain posts? "Cancer/bullying/child abuse/wearing white after Labor Day is a terrible, terrible thing and unless you're a terrible person who hates America and puppies you'll repost this." Lamest attempt at advocacy ever.

I confess to being guilty about the sonogram thing, though.

Christi said...

I'm the same way--fact is, I probably wouldn't be on Facebook at all if it weren't for the various out-of-state relatives wanting updates on the family.

Heather said...

First of all I don't have a blog. I don't HATE on anyone. I feel Uber Moms are detrimental to their children and are creating a generation of children who are being set up to fail in life. After this last blog post of hers, I have "disliked" her on FB and with the exception of looking today to see if my comment was deleted out of PURE curiosity, I will not read it again. My point is why Hate on someone who is not trying to annoy anyone but simply trying to create some joy or meaning in their life. You don't know what is going on with the "Mom" who posts about her dinner maybe she is depressed and the only thing keeping her going is cooking a meal for her family...my point is not that we can't be annoyed by it, but if you hate it that much than do something about it or GET THE FUCK OVER IT. You don't walk in their shoes so don't judge.

Heather said...

OK so I am realizing your comment about having a blog is quoted as referring to what I said in my previous comment, so my apologies for not catching that. Last comment is that the world is filled with so much cruelty and hate why perpetuate it (which I realize I am doing by commenting on this blog and saying things about this blogger so shame on me, but at least I own it and admit it. It is simply not nice to talk that kind of "shit" about so many people. It is a little like bullying in my opinion. OK enough and good by.

Susanne said...

hilarious -- I too have been wondering about this trend of posting pictures of dinner. usually its something super healthy - I've seen lots of pictures of fish lately, or steamed vegetables. I see very few people posting a giant greasy cheeseburger and fries. Not sure what that's all about.... but I enjoyed another hilarious post!

ButteryMuffyn said...

WTFC .... Who The F**K Cares??? Or, as I read it, What The F**king Christ?? Yeah, I'm a bad person and I don't like most of my FB friends.

crystalm said...

Jen, I LOVE that I can scroll through over 200 comments and you have actually replied to something past comment 10! You do care!

Also as annoying as Twitter on FB is, how about hashtags on FB comments. That are not connected to Twitter. Those hashtags do nothing!!!

KP said...

And why people shouldn't take it so seriously. Jen isn't attacking you personally when she writes this stuff. Good god people live for a reason to feel persecuted! I have to go on non-FB binges for a while b/c people just aggravate me too much. All of the posturing and one-up'ing makes me want to hurl. I know one day I'm going to be that crazy old lady who just yells at everyone!

FeeLIN LINspired! Gag. Hysterical post. Clicked over to FB to see what was happening and my 'friend' (and I use the term very loosely) wrote: "Has a glass of red wine waiting for my lovely wife when she gets home from work." Oh brother. Perfect example of #5 above. Just drink the wine already. Geez.

Anonymous said...

guilty of #6. Yet, somehow mine arn't so much inspirational, as they are my thoughts put into words I just couldn't figure out to say myself. Such as "It's not that I'm not a people person, I'm just not a stupid people person" or "Off is the general direction in which I would like you to fuck". Quotes couldn't get much better than those

I agree with ALL your points and have no shame in admitting that I am not guilty of any of them!

Another one that bugs me is the "Put this as your status update if you know someone fighting cancer (or whatever illness) for one hour and you want to make a stand against it". There was a time I saw posts like those several times a day. OK, cancer sucks, and we've all been affected by it one way or another... but what a stupid and frivolous way of expressing it! That's NOT gonna make cancer go away and it's not gonna make me more sympathetic towards ill people.

Love your blog!!

I have a friend always complaining about unemployment and down to $20 in the bank and child support to the ex who also posts pictures of the many many bags from a shopping trip at the mall ... and gets defensive if anyone calls her on any of it. Seriously, your 16-year-old does NOT need 16 gifts for her birthday, especially if you can't pay the water bill that month.

Anonymous said...

How about the husband/wives who profess their love to each other over facebook? For instance....'Out to dinner with my gorgeous and sexy wife....Karen Lee Smith. I am the luckiest guy on the planet." Karen Lee Smith then writes...."oh John Mark Smith, you are my everything." Yeah...they are sitting right next to each other penning this crap.

MommyOntheEdge said...

OH DEAR LORD! The hashtags...I hate them! It's a kid thing...if you're over 20 you're too old to use them. I'm guilty of trying it, and then I realized how damn dumb it was and gave it up. I'm guilty of some of these, but I agree w/ EVERYTHING you've said...ALL of them, all the others(from the past blog post), and SO many more.

I'm getting REALLY sick of all those picture quotes...Yes, some of them ARE funny, and I chuckle and move past them, but it's REALLY annoying when my WHOLE news feed is picture after picture after picture. I can't see anything else, because it's all been scrolled off the page by the damn picture quotes.

Another pet peeve of mine is kids that are two young(under 13) to have a facebook - having one. Then they want to be my friend because I'm friends w/ their parents...after a while I quit accepting these requests and removed the ones I accepted. Mostly because they shouldn't have one, but partly because of the STUPID shit they post, the spelling is HORRENDOUS! They need to spend less time on facebook or their phone and more time studying spelling words!

The part of myself I consider to be witty wants to write an awesome response to each and every point you made. The part of myself that knows I am not actually all that witty still insists on hitting on about half of them.
-I would never take my spouse to the doctor, nor expect him to take me. For one thing, I go to the doctor about once a year and no man wants to take his wife to that particular visit. (Nor, in my opinion, would a sane woman want him to go!)
- Pinterest changed a setting somewhere and keeps defaulting to post to my Facebook. Fortunately, I just Keep Calm and Delete.
-When I post "inspirational" posts it is because I am having a moment of introspection- and what better place to be introspective than on the world wide web for all 500 of my closest friends?
-it is nice when my husband posts doofy posts about being with his gorgeous wife- it secretly makes me a little mushy.
-My pictures of dinner are awesome. Not as good as pictures of my desserts though! I want to punch myself in the throat for tempting myself with baked goods, so I have to post pictures of them so everyone else will crave sweets and fail their diets along with me.
-checking in encourages stalkers and burglaries. stop doing it and stop trying to check me in.
-when I am pregnant, my belly will stay under wraps- no one needs to see it now and won't need to then. Hate me if you want, but the miracle of life growing in my body is not an excuse to bare my belly!

Renae said...

I was just going to leave a simple comment of 'I love everything about this post', but then I just spent 10 extra minutes laughing (and agreeing with) all the comments, so I love them too! Glad to know I'm not the only one annoyed by these things :-)

I want to know how many of you who complain about every possible thing you can do on Facebook actually tell the people guilty of oversharing, meal picture-taking, sonogram pics, being vague, quote-posting, checking in, living/breathing actually have the balls to say it to them. No? Oh right, because we are in the age of passive-aggressive pussy whiners.

What about posts to dead loved ones...Do they have a facebook account in the afterlife?!!!

This irritates me and can be easily fixed by changing the wording, not writing a direct message to the deceased...bizarre shit.

In regards to the baby bump photos... WTF is up with people thinking they are showing (and wearing maternity clothes) at 5 weeks, 7 weeks, etc. The baby is the size of a Lima bean. You are not showing. You are fat. Deal with it. Stop trying to justify it now that you peed on a stick.

So you're saying that you think some of my posts are somewhat interesting and if I simply stopped posting lyrics you'd unblock me? How would you know I stopped posting lyrics if you blocked me? For that matter, if everyone has blocked me then there really is no reason to stop posting lyrics, right? In fact I think today will be Adele (mainly because Jen hit on that on her earlier blog)!! Keep on posting!!!

Camille Bassett said...

Thats exactly what I was going to say. One time I posted on facebook how much I hate the whole I am a bad ass in beast mode at the gym or ran 1000 miles... and I had this chick freak out on me saying I was putting people down instead of encouraging them. I felt bad but now I am glad to see I am not the only one!

I call the "oh look where I am" posts Fake Fabulocity. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of the "life is good" posts too. Seriously, if you have to post on facebook how fabulous your life is you're trying too hard. As far as the check ins go, maybe I'm just paranoid but it'd be my luck to check in and someone comes and breaks in. I don't get the "check in at home" thing either. WTF? WTFC?

I would disagree with you on your idea for #9. I like you get really annoyed when people randomly post crap like "Bob is at the Mall" or "Carrie is getting her nails done at the salon". I began to scan my options for checking in to random places. While at the office, I checked into the local court house. An the best was at 8am on Sunday, I checked into the Camel Toe Bar and grill (I shit you know this is the real name). I suggest using checking points for evil rather than updating your friend on the boring shit you do with your life :)

Siobhan said...

Ok, I'm a bit late here with the comment as I read this the other day when it was posted but am only commenting now (after perusing FB and getting totally annoyed)... I would like to punch in the throat the people who seem to only talk to their spouses via FB statuses and comments "I love you baby, you're the best" "No sweet heart you are the best. We are living the life! So lucky to have you" blech. Do these people talk to each other like this in real life? Cause then i want to double throat punch them! & Do they talk to each other at all or just via FB? (p.s. I am happily married 5 yrs with 2 kids)

Anonymous said...

How about people who not only feel the need to post EVERY minute detail of their minute life to facebook, but also insist on using incredibly awkward spelling / grammar to the point that it makes my eyes hurt trying to read it? For example (this is real):
"Home sweet Home it was a good time with the girls but now fin to head to bed bc back to bball in am"
"Well they played a good game but didn't get the W be back at it again next weekend great game little fourth grade Indians"
"Back in the col now heading to big lots for first time then finally home sweet home oan least its a nice day out while we running places have a gd afternoon fbf n Hbd again grandma"
"Home sweet Home Wit door open getting some fresh air"

I'm not sure if someone already mentioned this, as I do not have time to read 264 comments, but it drives me crazy when couples have one facebook page. Like KatieandRyan Smith! What if I want to say something to just your wife. When I write a post do I have to make it gender specific or do I have to type he/she for everything? You are married, we get it, but you do not have to share everything, ecspecially your facebook page

I have the unfortunate privilege of knowing someone who was hovering over her dying father's bed in hospice with her phone and the moment he died posted, "RIP Daddy." When I called other family members they were shocked I already knew - good thing we had Captain Facebook there to keep everyone updated. WTF is wrong with people?!

But this is also someone who posts her to-do list daily (always with 15 exclamations. is going to get your car inspected that f-ing thrilling?) and her cover photo is a sonogram pic. It took every bit of self control in my body not to send her this post with the message, "get a clue you crackhead."

Alison said...

I hate to say this....well, not really, but my least favorite thing is when saty-at-home moms (whom I know for a fact are well educated and productive members of society) list the things they did that day and the list goes a little something like this "woke the kids up and fed them, got them on the bus, washed the floor...wanted to go to the gym but the couch won out, get the kids off the bus, helped with homework and made dinner. Love my life!" Seriously? Ask a working mom what she did that day and I'll eat my shoe if it doesn't include all of this bs AND 8 hours of relentless work stress and an inner war beating herself up for being a working mom.

Girls who are BFFs who post on each other's walls every minute of the day

Girl 1: OMG I MISS YOU! I'LL SEE YOU AFTER CLASS! <3 <3 <3
Girl 2: Omg i miss u 2! we've been apart for 1 hour but it seems like forever! can't wait to see you when I get back from class!

And other long conversations. Seriously. Either send them a private message or text them. I had to delete a couple of "friends" because it got so damn annoying. That is definitely worth sending as a text. I don't need to see girls fall apart because they're away from their best friends for 10 minutes.

I also agree with you about people posting a billion pictures of their babies, and constantly posting updates about their pregnancy and even uploading their ultrasounds. Really?

I'm guilty of using song lyrics as most of my status updates but thats because I don't like posting my whole life as my status update. "Just ate breakfast, now going out for a run!" "I have the best girlfriend ever, blah blah blah." And also, sometimes I "check in" with my buds whenever we're at some restaurant or bar but that is not all the time. I don't need people to know where I am every second of the day.

I understand why people would find many of these things annoying (and I'm guilty of some). But who are you to judge other people and what they post on their facebook? If their friends enjoy their photos of their kids (or their dinner for that matter) - why should that annoy you. Some people find inspirational memes uplifting. If I don't want to see something, I hide it. There's a "holier than thou" tone to this whole blog that I find sad...

Too Old Mama said...

Even a homeschooling Catholic mom like myself gets annoyed by Scripture posters. My pet peeve (which appears too frequently in my newsfeed) is Philippians 4:13--"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". Why? Because it is posted, along with prayers of petition/thanks for God's strength, by people who need His strength to endure the consequences of their own STUPID decisions!! For example: I'm acquainted with a few still-single women in their 30's & 40's who cannot distinguish between a decent man and a douchebag (or they can, but the d-bag is so HOT that they'll sleep with him anyway), and these ladies often need God's strength to endure the pain of being dumped yet again ("Why does this keep happening to me??"). And then there's the married, 40-ish couple with 2 young children who defaulted on their mortgage and are now 4 months in arrears on their rental dwelling because they just can't stop "investing" in get-rich-quick-while-sitting-on-your-butt-at-home-doing-nothing scams. Yes, the Lord will help them weather this storm, as He did in the past and will do again in the future.

I just want to scream at these people: Have you ever considered asking God for the wisdom not to make bone-headed choices in the first place? Then maybe you wouldn't need His strength quite so much!

1. Adults who post they going to accompany their spouse and/or partner to doctors' appointments.

--is the problem with people who post that? because it seems like your problem is people who go to the appointments. I guess I was being a PIWTPITT when I went with my wife to her doctor's appointments when she was pregnant. I'm so sorry. I'm a terrible person.

Damn. You got to the food pics. Thought I was gonna beat you to it on that one.

The religious self-righteous are right up there with the ones who puke nothing out but their damn political beliefs. Like the world is going to change because of some asshat status on FB.

Then there's the ones who have the best kids in the land. No kid is an angel every waking moment. And we know you thank God for them daily. Even when they're giving you the finger and spitting in your face.

Then what about those racers and runners. Noting how they, once again, did 3 miles in 12 seconds flat!

Shit. Now you got me on a roll.

Unknown said...

I have an FB "friend" that continuously posts every doctor's appointment for her constantly ill children... And all the results. I DON'T CARE! If you're wanting family to know how it went, use the messenger!

Unknown said...

YES! This! I have an inappropriate "liker" on my friend's page. I swear, if my post went "my toilet overflowed, my coffee maker exploded and my mother just showed up for a surprise visit and I feel suicidal", this chick would hit "like".

Unknown said...

Totally guilty of most of this at one time or another. I stopped posting my food pics but I've jumped on the hashtag bandwagon, probably just because I've figured it all out. The keep calm thing annoys the snot out of me, too. I am with you...some of the people on my FB are there solely for my own entertainment. #jensblogrocks; #spitcoffeethroughmynosefunny

Chuck Scott said...

I am going to start posting pictures of my dinner swimming 30 minutes after eating. In my head it seems like a good thing to do.

Unknown said...

I post angelic photos of my kids when in reality they are screaming monsters so other people will think I live like June Cleaver. I don't apologize. I'll add another gripe - the 30 and 40-something selfies over and over by the same people with Olsen twins kissy mouths and bizarre hair flips...I am more embarrassed for them than anything, but I guess it doesn't really annoy me because I secretly like laughing at them in my head.

I hate the list makers. especially mommy list makers. I have one friend who must literally have NOTHING going on in her life because every post she ever makes is something like "really full day today, going to get the kids up, make breakfast, do all the house work, make lunch, play with the kids..." and literally lists every activity they will do from the time the wake to the time they go to bed. what is the FREAKING point of that? i mean, if you need a list to help you to remember things, make one that's not a public nuisance to all your FB friends!

Throw Back Thursday/TBT pics make me wish it were Wednesday. Every fucking Thursday! Urgh!

Jenna said...

I've been known to post my chores on facebook. Why? Because it's typically a cold day in hell before I do any chores. These days need to be noted, celebrated by many, and driven into my hubby's brain so he knows that I do chores occasionally. Very occasionally.

Unknown said...

So true! We've all been guilty of annoying our friends for Facebook. Here are two that kill me. These may have been mentioned in the comments, but I'm at work and don't have time to read 307 comments, so might I add:
10. People who only post status updates of their kids. (I do this all the time and I'm not sorry about it.)
11. People who post updates that have an annoying air of mystery: "That was so fucking awesome!" What was awesome?! I don't have time to ask for more details--tell me what was awesome from the beginning because chances are it's not as awesome as you think. "I can't believe that just happened. Feeling sad. " Again, WTF, shit or get off the pot with the mysterious comments already! (For the record, I don't think I've ever done this one.)

Notes From ABroad said...

Yeah but .... 1- one of them could be dentist phobic and need to know someone is out there for them .. like to rescue them.
2- they might get some drugs or gas and need someone else to drive
3- why should one stay home and be alone when they can wait in a waiting room ?
4- someone might be loving and romantic.

Not guilty said...

People I want to punch in the throat... everyone who thinks facebook should be used daily. If you have 500 friends that care that much about your life, how do you have time for facebook? Social media should be used as a means to catch up. Not as a means of feeling important. If the most interesting thing you did today was clean a toilet, you aren't interesting. Quite frankly no one is interesting enough to have something important to say daily. So of course it's easy to see why most Facebook post are sad, pointless, annoying, and/or pathetic.

Anonymous said...

I am positive he just posted that because after he slapped her around he was feeling remorse and was too cheap to buy her roses.

Anonymous said...

Jeez, you REALLY have boring friends. I thought mine were dull and had nothing to say. That's what they mean when they say, "cheer up, things could be worse." I am cheered up.

Unknown said...

Lol--Well put, Anonymous. ("Narcissistic attention-seeking a-holes!") Exactly. That's what many of them are; FB gets abused by those types all the time. Nice to know some hate that sh*t.

Unknown said...

SO true--right on! I cannot stand those self-absorbed, egotistical idiots who "like" their own pictures. If I was a friend of someone like that, I'd mock the sh*t out of him (her) for doing that.

They should have more button options--I agree. A "Dislike" button, "That Was Dumb" button, "You're Annoying" button, etc. These people need brought back down from their "ego cloud" already.

Unknown said...

I can't STAND people who post their long, dragged out, pointless explanation of what they did all day. No one gives a sh*t. It sounds like someone who is boasting and desperate for a pat on the back. Get over yourself!

MOST people bust their butt each and every day. Most people do dishes, laundry, etc. And what I hate even more are the so-called "friends" on FB who thumb it up and applaud the person for the "hard work." Yeah--grrrreat--let's ENABLE the annoying behavior! Now the person's gonna be addicted to the "fix" she gets from posting that crap.

Anonymous said...

It's one thing to post a little here or there about what chore you're doing...but it's a whole different level when someone goes on and on with 2-3 paragraphs of every frickin' detail of what they did for the day. It comes off as boasting--simple as that.

If someone truly accomplished something amazing, then yes, I could see someone wanting to mention it (such as making the NYT bestseller list or something awe-inspiring)--but chores? I know a twit who mentions how she does laundry, then dishes, then runs to the store, then makes dinner and does exactly what Laura (the poster) said, "Whew! What a day!"--who cares? Those are things we ALL do on a daily basis!

(Worse are the moronic clique of friends who applaud the twit for her amazing efforts, one even implying she was "Superwoman." ::gag:: Let's not ENABLE the pathetic behavior, people!)

THAT'S why it's annoying--it's boasting about something that millions of others do all the time; it's a form of condescension, and quite frankly, a form of insecurity and need to be noticed and praised. It's nauseating and annoying.

You'll love this post to go with this one:
http://www.foreverymom.com/how-to-make-sure-everyone-on-facebook-knows-youre-the-perfect-christian-parent/

I'd like to add to the list people who ONLY post about their multi-level marketing/home business. I have a friend who moved cross country and I'd love to hear about how she and her kids are but all she posts about is her F-ing home business. Makes me sad :( I hope she's up to more than just that.
