S/O snarky--must mock FB stranger (warning: ticker inside)

I just have to share this story with you ladies because I know how much you'll "appreciate" it....

I have a friend/colleague who has just relocated OOT. We're connected on LinkedIn but not FB, so I just tried to search for her there to send a friend request. Her name didn't immediately pop up, so I just put in her last name hoping I'd stumble across her. As I'm combing through literally hundreds of people with her last name I find two people (who I eventually deduce must be husband & wife) whose profile pics were of a positive EPT brand pg test.

I don't even know these people and it kinda turned my stomach and made me roll my eyes. You just know they probably didn't post anything; just did one of those AW moves of changing their pics and sitting back to wait for the "OMG!! Squeee"'s to come pouring in.

Throat punch to the FB strangers! Ugh. I hate them. I don't care if I don't know them.

Exactly! DH and I know a couple other people who are pregnant and a few weeks further along than I am. At least they both had the decency to wait until their 20-week u/s to post anything on FB. They're both DH's family/friend so I wouldn't tell him this, but I still secretly want to throat punch them, too.

I feel like, if I don't see someone IRL or at least have an email-outside-of-FB-posts relationship with them, they probably don't need to know anything until after we're home from the hospital. Or more likely, if/when I ever see them again in 5 or 10 years.

I hate people who do that.
