NBR:People you hate on social media

MamaHanna · August 2013

OK ladies I think you all have "that person" in your life. You know the person whose life is a pinterest page, the person always talking about how amazing their relationship is, the person who needs to put out every single political opinion that they have. You hate them but they still stick around in your feed just because they past the point of annoying into being funny. Well here is mine.

There is a girl I want to high school with who thinks she is some big "live off the earth" hippy but she drives a BMW and only shops at high end places and lives in NYC in apartment her parents pay for. Today's Facebook update:

"Cake for breakfast? perfect idea. fig almond cake right out of my oven."

Who thinks she actually made this? LOL! Some of these are just to funny for words. She also has a Facebook for her dog and her dogs posts are almost if not more pretentious than hers. So who is the person on your feed that just makes you laugh sometimes with the stuff they put out there?

update:Someone just asked her for the recipe for this and she said "Send me your address and I will mail it to you on one of my recipe cards." I don't know if you really need to wright out "go to bakery, get cake, put cake in oven, claim you made cake."

A "friend" who is a pediatrician, her husband is a musician. Literally it's like a shit show of "love" between them everyday. They also have FB pages for each of their children (who are 2 and not quite a year). Ugh....

tyedyeme12 · August 2013

Hands down the girl who has SO MUCH DRAMA in her life. All of her statuses consist of "I can NOT believe my husband is such a jerk sometimes" (immediately followed by) "Oh my gosh, he bought flowers and that makes up for everything, I

my soulmate"

Not to mention the posts of hers that are about her "friends". For example, "Why am I such a good friend to you if you just ignore me and never even attempt to be my friend? I am too loyal."

All of these quotes are written with considerably better grammar and spelling than what she posts too, sometimes I read through her posts 3-4 times to figure out what she's saying. I literally stay facebook friends with her just to laugh at her drama.

blainethetrain · August 2013

I have one who is Ms. Superfit. She posts all of her workouts and meals, which are all completely sugar free. She, too, has a fb page for each of her dogs, in clothes. The part that really sucks is that she's really fun in person. She's smart and funny and has been a friend for a long time. I just wish her actual persona and her fb persona could be the same person.

jmb527 · August 2013

I have 2. Both old HS friends, who I keep in intermittent contact with.

1. Only posts vague updates "I can't take any more of this, ugghhhh" type shit, or bitching about being sick, her kids being sick (with details I might add) or "needing a girl's night out soooo bad" to which people pity her and invite her out, or no one does and it's awkward.

2. My friend who only posts about her perfect little family unit, never anything funny, serious or normal non-kid related. Just perfect posed shots of her kids, and only if they go somewhere.

I despise people who just post on FB to check-in somewhere cool to AW, but never post anything else.

leahraewku · August 2013

I have a "friend" who likes to brag about her bar excursions, posting nightly tallies of how many shots she had and what her tab was. Then she begs her friends for money the next day to pay her bills. People pay them too. She'll give them FB shout-outs after the fact. "Yo, so-and-so, thanks for paying my $200 cell bill/buying new brakes for my car/giving me a gas card! That's what real friends are for! Lets get wasted tonight!" She has no shame.

hahhaa, nice try, blurring the name, but not blurring the name.

But agreed that it's annoying. I'm not a fan of the "runtastic" links either that I see on FB all the time.

Tifflessthen3 · August 2013

I have a friend on FB who constantly changed her relationship status every time her and her boyfriend get into a fight and then talks crap then the next day I love him and their back into a relationship status again... Annoying! Every time you get into a fight you shouldn't announce it on FB grow up girl! Lol

grannyweatherwax · August 2013

I have a friend who just shares cheesy inspirational pictures. The kind that say "Like this if you hate cancer. If you ignore all the puppies will die." I had to block her, she likes one every hour or so.

I gave this a love tit just in case because I do hate cancer and love puppies! But I hate those people! That is an instant un-friend!

cammyisagirlsname · August 2013

I have a "friend" who's boyfriend just went to jail last week and I swear every hour or so she posts how she "misses her boo." Or "can't go on without him like this" and "labor day is my birthday. All I want for my birthday is to be in my Boo's arms."

My brother and I just make fun of her via text every time she updates, but if her damn "boo" doesn't get out of jail soon I may have to delete her.

swirl25 · August 2013

I have a good friend who I can't block because she is a good friend, but she is either posting (read: airing) her dirty laundry with her husband/family, or posting blurry/bad/inappropriate photos of her kids (like one of her kid buck naked captioned "potty training"!). I just don't understand her judgement on half the things she posts.

azmama20 · August 2013

I have an uncle who is super annoyingly into the crossfit workout stuff, marathon running, etc. his posts are always pretentious about how "awesome" his workouts are. Well I got a good laugh the other day when he posted something along the lines of "that awkward moment when you tell a Navy SEAL your marathon time and they are not impressed." Like DUHHHHH what did you think was going to happen?!

teacupkat · August 2013

And this is why I stopped going on Facebook.

This!!

Mauidmama · August 2013

Aww my husband and I have called each other boo for years! I promise we are normal haha.

My DH calls me Boo boo because when my mom found out he grew up in a bad area of Detroit she thought he would be ghetto so he thought it would be funny to say "sup boo boo" every time he walked into my moms to pick me up and it just kind of stuck.

mestills · August 2013

My SIL, ugh. She is young and immature and everyone is out to get her. Guess what hun, no one cares.

Mac2588 · August 2013

My husband's niece posts about having to pick up her WIC checks and most recently about her 2 year old having scabies. Wtf?

grannyweatherwax · August 2013

superspecialsnowflake said:

OMG my DH's niece. She is seriously the biggest piece of ghettolicious trash... Like straight off the Maury Show trash. When she's not posting "fish face" photos of herself, she's at one of these three steps of her repeating Facebook cycle: 1) talking about how much she loves her "boo," or her kids, or her family, 2) ranting about her "POS" baby daddies (with copious amounts of foul language), or 3) cussing out her family and friends, and raving how you can only count on "yerself" in this world. This cycle repeats every week or so.

I have a cousin like that too. She always complains about her boss and her job and about drug tests at work. I cringe.

amberpro · August 2013

I have the "poor me, I feel horrible again" friend and the "clean eater who can't believe anyone would ever put such crap in their body" friend.

I've already blocked the drama queen, the vague "haters can suck it, you know who you are" girl, and the over-updater.

Gotta love FB stereotypes

Crgardner957 · September 2013

A girl I went to HS with post about her freaking child literally every 30-45 minutes, her poop, her pee, her words, her crying, laughing, sleeping. It's ridiculous! I would understand if her family lived away but they don't. Same girl post all the time how she ran 1 mile and had a healthy meal. I want to tell her to shut up and eat lettuce. Same girl post constantly how her husband is a douche bag and spends their money on poker and doesn't get home till 4 am and hasn't seen their child in 3 days. I've blocked her from my news feed now but if I'm in bed and bored I will go to her page just to get a good laugh. And her grandma posts on every single status! I feel like I'm back in high school cause me and 3 girlfriends will text each other saying have you seen her page yet today.. Lol

shoeflypie · September 2013

I have an 'ex-friend' and SIL that always post back handed comments on my page. I'm very, very close to saying, 'There you go again with the confusing, backhanded comments... Sarcasm or trying to get in a dig?'

frantastic12 · September 2013

It's football season, so the "armchair quarterbacks" are at the top of my list right now. Our local college team is highly ranked; I want to punch the next person that posts about what the coaching staff and/or players need to do, what plays they should be running, etc.

Also, my cousin who spends the majority of her time reposting pictures/memes/quotes about being strong, having your heart broken, being a mom, or whatever. Occasionally she'll throw in a post or two about how her phone is off because she has no money.

Crossfit braggarts, Advocare/MLM reps, and Shakeology/Beach Body coaches are tied for the most annoying. I can't say that I hate these type of posters. Mostly I feel embarrassed for them because I don't think they realize how annoying they sound to others.

My "clean eater" is a shakeology/beach body coach. And I forgot about the advocare rep. She only posts in spurts, though.

KFED103 · September 2013

Reading all of these makes me wonder if this it what it would be like to be friends with SG on Facebook. Hmmmmm :-@

frankierokx · September 2013

Ok some people on this board will hate me after this but here goes.

My eldest SIL loves 1D, she goes to concerts, wears the t-shirts and went to watch the film the other day. You walk into her house and it is covered in merchandise, from pictures and posters on the wall, mugs, framed signed t-shirt... the list is endless.

Sweetie you are 35 with two boys, grow up! I am sick and tired of hearing how much you love Harry Styles or whatever his face is,1D is a bunch of kids with no talent.

Ok rant over sorry.

onewayticket · September 2013

This girl went to law school with me and is constantly posting pics in bikinis. She also has a public blog where she talks about her online dating experiences. This is one of the photos she decided to share with the world (both via facebook and blog). She is very political and is always posting angry rants but I just can't defriend her bc of gems like this that make it all worth while.

Totally going to get flamed for this.... A friend's nephew died very suddenly and tragically about three years ago. He was only three. It was heart wrenching and devastating, and we all grieved with her. Since then, a LARGE percentage of her posts are about her nephew. How she's thinking of him, crying about him, honoring him, how he knows he's watching over them, etc. I completely supported this for the year after he died. Started looking past it during the second year. But now that the third year is coming to a close, I'm giving her the side eye. She's clearly not making peace with this and giving It the closure she needs. When you talk to her in person about her nephew, she seems very well adjusted about it. However, give her Facebook account, and it's like her license to AW about it.

Haha geez SSS give her a break. She lost her baby!

ETA: oh just reread and realized it was her nephew. But still, there is no 1 year cap on getting over something like that.

MommyEllenSue · September 2013

I have 2 both cousins.

Cousin #1 post pictures of what she is eating for every freakin meal. Then she takes pics of her poor husband eating all the time. He is a really private person and the poor man has a million pics on FB of him stuffing food in his mouth.

Cousin #2. Had a baby about 4 months ago. She is constantly begging people to watch him so she can go drink or posting pictures of her at happy hour with baby looking like he's holding a beer saying "teaching him early". He's an amazing baby though he "is already putting words together." Umm yeah Whatever.

Keenanshell · September 2013

I have a friend/ex-colleague. She used to be really fun to go out with and we'd go out drinking together every now and then. About 3/4 years ago, she met a fairly wealthy guy, started dating, moved in together, had a baby together who she refers to as "M"... in every single post. She gave up work and so her life consists of nothing but "M". "M lost a piece of her puzzle!!" "Still can't find the missing puzzle piece!". "Found the missing piece!".

What happened to her?!

I hope I don't turn into one of those mums when my baby comes along x

frankierokx · September 2013

A ex-college of mine loves to post pictures of herself in just her BF's jumpers and tops, no trousers and sometimes a little bit of her knickers showing too. Her BF is in the Army and doing a tour of duty. She gets a few hundred likes and dirty comments off men asking for more. I find it really wrong!

My Dh and I were JUST talking about this! One of our friends, who refused to have a Facebook account, just opened one this year and added all his friends...but now it's 95% Advocare Posts! It's just nuts! Drives us crazy. I think at this point we are just going to Unsubscribe from all his posts because it's all he ever talks about!

KFiori1 · September 2013

An old co-worker of mine who CONSTANTLY brags about her kids. Yes, I post things about my kids on FB but this girl is ridiculous. And she'll say things such as "DS is officially off formula and the bottle! Such a big boy!" at TEN months. Why brag about your 10 month old moving to cow milk early??

notkateanymore · September 2013

The crossfit/paleo cult members that go to this local brand of Crossfit gym here and won't shut the fuck up about it. Oh and that 5th beer I saw you drink isn't paleo you idiot.

northport6 · September 2013

One of DH's friends posts a) about skiing (no matter what time of year it is -- either about how awesome his GoPro video from that day was or WAH WAH WAH 105 days until the mountain opens OMFG HOW WILL I SURVIVE UNTIL THEN), b) about beers and where he is currently drinking them, c) about home improvements he's in the middle of f-cking up. He consistently wins Most Boring in the imaginary Facebook awards in my head.

I'm not a 1D fan at all, but honestly, I don't see what the big deal is in having a hobby or fandom to love. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, to the point of going to conventions and wizard wrock concerts and getting baby name inspiration from the books. I don't see what's wrong with being a hardcore fan of something so long as it doesn't interfere with real life responsibilities. Let her love what she loves, even if you don't like the band.

As far as annoying facebook friends... I'm so annoyed by all the racist, slut-shaming, body-shaming, and rape-promoting "humor" memes that people share. These drive me nuts. Example, someone shared one of those e-cards and it said "If the guy does the dishes, you owe him a blowjob." Or there was another I saw this morning of an obese girl and it was captioned as "tag someone who would tap her hard" with a bunch of guys tagged and everyone laughing and denying it in the comments and making fun of "the whale". >.<

I also have the vegan/Crossfit friend who constantly talks about cute animals and how cruel the rest of us are for killing and eating them. She also has meltdowns any time she eats anything remotely unhealthy. "I just ate 2 sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan cookies. Kill me now, I hate myself." And then she posts her crossfit and running stats multiple times a day. She's a nice person irl, but her facebook persona is so aggravating.

These people last about 30 seconds on my Facebook "friends" list. If I wouldn't put up with it IRL I wouldn't put up with it on social media. Delete delete delete.

Unfortunately I have to keep them since they're all DH's relatives and would take offense to my unfriending them. I've blocked most of their posts from my newsfeed so I don't have to see it, but some still slip through and make me see red.

notkateanymore · September 2013

I wouldn't give two shits if they took offense to you unfriending them since they sound like horrible people.

natleilynn · September 2013

I'm late to the party, but I can't believe nobody has mentioned the "vote for me in this contest"/"help me pay for my honeymoon"/"hey I only have 3 weeks left to win this contest!" posters.

I entered a logo contest and only after the fact did I realize one of the prizes hedged on getting the "popular" vote. I refused to post it to my Facebook. And honey, your kid isn't the cutest kid in that contest. I actually ended up voting for the kid beside yours. Whoops!
