April Fools Day - UGH

Habs2Hart

Anyone else have any moronic people on their FB feeds this morning?

 My BIL's GF posted that they are happy to announce they are expecting a baby at the end of October and they feel very blessed and happy.  It's April Fools.  And that is a really, really shiittty joke.  We just announced our own real pregnancy and they are the most ridiculous couple.  If it is true and they told FB before telling us, well, I'm going to be pissed and feel bad for H that his own brother didn't tell him the news.  

Anyway, I hate April fools so much.  Why do people think it gives them a reason to be asshats?

Post this on their wall:

 

And I 100% agree with you that if it's really an April Fools joke, it's really shitty.

I am waiting for the morons to come on this board or TB in general and start with the april fools day hijinks.

For some reason my FB won't let me post a pic to her wall, but I posted it anyway.  Thanks ladies.  She is such a tool.

My DH and I play silly little pranks on each other, but other than that I don't ever do them to anyone else and definitely not publicly.

I think the pregnancy thing crosses the line.  I've already seen it on my FB feed as well. Not funny at

While I think it's stupid, the pregnancy april fools jokes don't bother me. I am glad I haven't seen any though yet this morning...I'm just waiting for some sort of April Fool's FB joke...none yet though.

I don't think it's very creative, but I don't think it's completely offensive.

My H is calling his very gullible mother today and telling her that we've settled on names for the baby- he's going to pick two awful names and tell her that she can'

I think I'm just more sensitive to this post because it's my BIL's gf and she's a serious idiot sometimes.

I think the pregnancy April Fools posts are really douchey

I don't personally mind pregnancy April Fool's announcements - howeveer unoriginal they are - but I understand how they can be insensitive to others.

The only April Fool's prank that I've seen today is Google Nose.  Subtle and funny.

My sister did the 'I'm pregnant' April Fools today, too.  As it's entirely NOT true, and she likes to upstage me on every single thing I do, I was a bit annoyed by that, lol!

I saw two death announcements. one was fake... the other I'm not sure about

but I made a cease fire with my family because my hormones can't take it.


And anyone being fake pregnant had always gotten a bitchy response from

I didn't notice any moronic April Fool's posts, but I did end up pouring half my O.J. in my bowl of cereal before rea

I've seen two ultrasound pregnancy announcement posts already, both with twins. And both have been jokingly called out by other people as lies.

These posts don't bother me, but I agree, it's dumb. And I can definitely see how insensitive it can

Anything I see on FB today, I am taking with a grain of salt.... 

I am thankful that I am off today because I do not have the patience for 7th graders and their April Fools shenanigans!

So many people use pregnancy announcements as their April Fool's... I hate it! That is all.

And my big April fools last year was to call my dh and say the truck was broke and I was stuck on the highway when it was fine and I was in the driveway.

I haven't seen any yet but there is at least one status every year.  It makes me so angry to see those status

I think they are incredibly douchey. Today is the EDD of my first loss, so I just don't have the patience to find it the slightest bit amusing. Haven't seen any on my feed yet. We will see if anyone in my life thinks this is funny.

Last year my cousin changed her relationship status from married to divorced as an April fools joke and then watched as her marriage fell apart over the next 3 days. I don't play around these days.

AppleMuffins

Nobody has said anything stupid on my FB. If I ever see marriage, divorce, or pregnancy posts on April Fools, I never believe them. People aren't good at pulling it off, which is why I half wanted to announce our pregnancy on April Fools because people

How about this for a joke: My SIL asked me to POAS for her so she could prank her husband (she is 22, he is 26 - neither are ready for kids yet) and pretend she is pregnant. April 1 is his bday so it would have been a joke/bday gift. I ultimately said

I tried to April Fools my DH that I knew the sex when he woke up but he didn't believe me!
