NBR- what sort of things annoy you on Facebook?

Corts · November 2015

Since we are all hormonal as hell and can't complain there, I'll start

I hate when I see someone post pics of their kids in an improperly buckled carseat. Or doing something totally unsafe. I hate when I see someone in a totally dysfunctional or abusive announce that they are pregnant. I hate when people make FB pages for their minor children. The list goes on...

Knottie86418473 · November 2015

YES on the pages for minor children! (There's a reason for the age limit!) My sister has one for her 8 year old son. She claims he only uses it when she's supervising but I know that's total baloney.

Mine is the incessant political views on everything. It seems like everyone is suddenly needing to spout out their opinions & thoughts on everything in the most forceful manner and if you even dare to disagree with them they call you stupid and/or threaten to defriend you. Um...are we 12 year olds? I haven't posted anything for a couple of weeks because it's really gotten under my skin. I'm about to whittle my friends list down to about 10. lol

goldie987 · November 2015

I hate it when people brag about what they did at the gym EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.
Had a friend who would post her entire gym routine every day and how great she felt getting healthy and all I wanted to do was respond with NO ONE CARES. Took the more mature route and just blocked her from my news feed.

I hate when people post passive aggressive non-informative statuses and then refuse to elaborate, ie "Ugh, some people are just so awful, I can't believe I let you back into my life again" and then when someone asks if they're okay they say they don't want to talk about it. Hate to break it to you but if you didn't want to talk about it, then don't post about it.

mrsschmity · November 2015

Oh cripes, I could go on and on...

1. People who post Every. Single. Day.

2. People who post a play by play of their day or what their plans are.

3. People who use FB as a personal diary to complain, brag, or talk about their feelings endlessly about anything and everything.

4. People who feel the need to take every opportunity to brag or get all lovey dovey about their SO.

5. People who post vague shit and then when someone asks "What's wrong" or "What's going on" they either don't respond or say something stupid like they don't really want to talk about it. STFU.
6. People who ask questions to their facebook that they really should be asking a doctor or therapist.

The occasional sharing of something wonderful in your life, what you're doing, something cool, or to update family is fine and dandy. But for shits sake, I don't need to know every single thought that runs through your head.

Did I miss anything?

Corts · November 2015

I forgot one. The beach body coaches who post selfies in workout gear on a daily basis.

I was going to write something, but @mrsschmity has it all covered, lol. She pretty much described one specific person on my FB who literally does all of these things...& it drives me INSANE! This person also tags her SO in absolutely every post she makes/picture she posts...even when it doesn't involve him.

People post crazy shit on FB. I'd love to know what goes on behind the screen!

All of this. Andplusalso, when people incessantly try to sell me things! Your before/afters are a bunch of bullsh*t and I'm not interested! Don't insult my intelligence by thinking I buy into your pyramid scheme.

Excellent list. I would add:

7. People getting into fights on Facebook. I mean, can you just call your MIL or whomever and yell at each other in private rather than a public forum?! Better yet, learn to have a discussion like a f*cking adult.

goldie987 · November 2015

Oh, I have another one. When 2 people have a discussion planning an outing for everyone to see. Text or use private chat, no need for the whole world to know that you guys are getting coffee together at the local coffee shop at 3 pm tomorrow.

Yep. I get that people are trying to market and promote whatever they're selling. BUT for heaven's sake, between all the beachbody workout/shakeology, thrive, jamberry, rodan+fields, or whatever posts it gets a little overwhelming. Nope, no thank you.

satcher08 · November 2015

I hate when people post pictures of their little kids (especially girls) without pants or a shirt on. It's not that big of a deal when they are tiny babies but after a certain age it just isn't appropriate anymore and you never know who might see it. I have a friend who frequently still posts photos of her 4 year old in the bathtub which I really don't agree with at any age but 4 is way too old IMO. My SIL posted a picture of my 7 year old niece the other day in her underwear with her butt in the air. That shit drives me crazy and the world doesn't need to see it.

This about covers it

Scout27 · November 2015

@mrsschmity really nailed it!

I'll add and expand on a couple...

1. Political views - when people share dozes of memes or stories from the extreme right-wing or left-wing. Especially without adding their own thoughts or opinions. It's just spam and it clogs my news feed.

2. Vague statements - the "need some prayers today please!!!" and then not responding to tell people what's going on drives me crazy. What am I praying for?!?!

3. Constant selfies - taking and posting selfies every single day. Ugh.

4. Pictures of people's kids - does anyone else have friends who post pictures of their kids every day (sometimes many a day) and then hashtag the kid's full name? Like #FirstnameMiddlename. I don't know why but I have several who do this and it just makes the barrage of pictures that much worse for me.

Corts · November 2015

Yes. Enough with the kid photos. Every 15 minutes. This post inspired me to do a friend's clean up. First to go was this chick who spends alllllllll day on fb posting extreme political views, and pics of her infant. This poor baby is always propped in the same spot on the couch wearing nothing but a dirty onesie. Hello it's november. And your baby is filthy. I deleted her because I was tempted to say exactly this. Ugh.

HeartLikeMine3 · November 2015

I get annoyed with the constant posts of "this is what I made for dinner. "
Also when people use facebook as a diary and go through their whole day. Who cares!! And all the others mentioned above.

Mr0616 · November 2015

I don't need you to share every single news article or important quote you have read. I can get the news myself or go on Pinterest for that.

And no, I won't contribute to so and so cousins sister wife brother's go fund me account.

And I don't care what Disney character you are or the results of any other nonsense quiz.

And I don't care how long you have been friends with someone in Facebook, even if it's been wayyy longer in real life, like omg.

I actually quit Facebook for over a year and it was glorious, but since I don't live at close to my family anymore I feel like it is the only way I get updates.

chloe97 · November 2015

PP have it pretty much covered, but can I just add people who post pictures of their dogs constantly are even worse than people who post pictures of their kids. I have a good friend who just is dealing infertility and I feel really bad for her, but instead of dealing with it through therapy, they got a dog and expect everyone to fawn over the dog like it's a baby. The dog has it's own Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter and posts 4-7 times a day. It's beyond obnoxious, we are thinking about staging an intervention.

Candacenellie · November 2015

1. People who post naked pictures of their children. Your baby in a diaper? Fine. Your child at age 6??? No. Just no.
2. Acting like they are sooo much healthier than you
3. People who act like they are in the most amazing relationship and really.. they hate each others guts and it's actually nothing like that if you know them. Trying to show off that they are sooooo happy and perfect. STFU
4. TOOO MANY workout photos/videos!
5. Starting arguments on social media.. are you kidding??? How old are you?? Who does that, really?? If something bothers you that someone said, why do you HAVE to say something online?? Just unfollow them..
6. Knowing where people will be at any given time of the day because oh they will TELL YOU
7. Vegans who are just.... TOO vegan like
8. Stop with the poems and song lyrics!! Gah!
....I think that's enough for now..

MynaBird · November 2015

This is why I'm good friends with the "unsubscribe" option. Clear out the riffraff.

LizM61409 · November 2015

Another one... people who post every other day about how their kid's not sleeping through the night or constantly has a cold or whatever. I guess I wouldn't mind if it were a one time thing, but I've unfollowed some folks who were posting ALL the time about it

chelseay416 · November 2015

Ditto on most of the above statements. My take on it is, if I know when and where your 18 year old's son last doctor's appointment was and what he was diagnosed (normal flu?!) with AND how his recovery is progressing, you're posting too much fucking information about your life. And how your kids aren't constantly embarrassed by their lives being broadcast on facebook is beyond me. ugh.

ahernandez16 · November 2015

1. People that have other people's photos as their profile pictures.

2. People that are VIOLENTLY conservative/liberal and think sharing a Facebook post is going to change anything.

3. People that share memes and quotes all f'ing day.

4. My mom.

I use Facebook to chronical big events (our wedding, baby, new cars) and to make fun of my husband when he does something dumb like drop his phone off of a rollercoaster. We both have big families and Facebook is way easier than individually texting everyone or being stuck in a never ending group message.

Edited because spelling.

mdargie · November 2015

Ugh the selfies. Once in a while for your profile pic, fine, but if you post a selfie a day I hate you. I hate you even more if you post a dumb quote along with it. Ugh get over yourself. Also constantly being added to "Brookes jamberry/scentsy/whatever fun shit you're selling party" yeah no thanks. And anything with #blessed attached. FOH

MellBabyPeeps · November 2015

YES! To all that shit!!! I seriously DO NOT understand why people create fb pages for their infants/toddlers/and so on. Do you know how many sick fucks there are in this world!?!?

fishwife799 · November 2015

Thought of another-
People who post articles without checking the facts first. This is how untrue information gets spread around and fuels the minds of idiots.

totsabounding · November 2015

This is the best thread ever.

hellomommas · November 2015

The political ones don't bother me as long as they are well-written/thought out/truthful/respectful/and ultimately seeking unity instead of a fight----For instance, I certainly don't have to agree with whatever they are saying BUT I do love to be challenged in my thinking to consider alternative views, which in turn helps me develop my own views to be more consistent and cross-checked. Its the arrogant, offensive, disrespectful ones that are annoying to me. I still like to think America could hold hands and figure it out together. hehe*

... For me it's the innapropriate child in undies photos- at any age- just no. There are psychos out there. After watching a documentary on sex-trafficking in Cambodia and seeing that they literally hang photos of the babies from pampers/huggies diaper boxes in the rooms where these men go to "get with" young girls, all I can think of is weirdos somehow being turned on by babies in diapers/undies/bathing suits/etc. I mean--you can be smart about it. Recently, there was a photo an acquaintance posted of her two daughters laying on towels at the beach and the angle was from their feet so the shot was literally right up their crotch--wearing bathing suits! **think people!**

I also get annoyed with the:

"I have a headache" or "not feeling well today" posts. Tell your friends or your SO or your family--they can actually HELP you.

hollywoodave531 · November 2015

Ditto to the people selling stuff! I actually had one person contact me tonight about selling a product! Someone I haven't talked to in years! Also, the vague statements have to stop! That is seriously my pet peeve! I actually called one of my friends because I thought something life threatening happened. If that was actually the case (and it wasn't) no one wants to learn about it first on FB! (Just realized my post has a million exclamation marks. I really like those(!))

lavina2244 · November 2015

Sometimes it's just easier to list the things that DONT annoy you on FB! I'm seriously considering not announcing my pregnancy on FB at all ... At this point that is the most unique move you could make!

Considering I'm pregnant & on a pregnancy thread, ironically the biggest FB offenders might be us moms! The over sharing is on another level. I once saw a mom post a pic of her leaky boob that made a wet spot on her shirt...she thought it was appropriate to post it with the hashtag #momlife

My husband jokingly warned me that unless our baby magically starts walking on its hands or starts speaking mandarin, nobody but my mom cares to see more than one kid post a month ha!

trythebleucheese · November 2015

I can't stand it when people make posts about the amazing food they just made and share photos and recipes of it, but don't bother to make the 20 hour drive to bring me a plate. Like, how dare you, damn it!!!

Gawd. Yes. I have one FB friend who routinely posts about how she has to express her breast milk into the sink and I'm just reminded every time I read one of those posts how thankful I am to have that information about someone I don't really care to know that well.

purplefan1 · November 2015

I can't stand the hashtags, especially when they are used excessively or inappropriately.

bio-oesch · November 2015

Vaugebooking is so freaking annoying, I just can't.

People who talk trash about their SO on fb/get in fights with each other.

People who say i'm doing a friends clean up so if you make the cut you're lucky.

People who say good night on fb? What? What happened in your sad little life that you think anyone on fb needs you to notify them when you go to bed for the night?

Share (or like) if you love your Mom/Sister/Gma/God/etc

People who are always complaining, just stop already.

People who don't read the previous comments on a post and re-ask the same question 3 times. FFS, can you read?

I'm a tad grumpy tonight, I could go on, but i'm going to bed (not that I think any of you care, lol

.

lunagrl79 · November 2015

This thread just made me so happy.

Memes. I can't stand it. Religious. Political. You name it. Stop already.

Also the share if you love

Inspirational quotes

Ugh. My mom, who happens to be the nastiest, meanest, unchristian like woman in my life is constantly posting religious memes and inspiration quotes. I want to rip her face off. Actually with these hormones I want to rip most people's faces off. I need to stay off FB.

hellomommas · November 2015

Speaking of vague posts... Just logged onto see someone post: "it's so hard..."

****hehehehehehe***** what does THAT mean?

june2016baby · November 2015

Wow! I agree with all the above things! But
the absolute WORST for me are the people who are always posting about colds and headaches and allergies. I mean really, could you be less interesting?

jennk0118 · November 2015

I'm really annoyed with all of the political stuff right now. I usually like hearing other people's perspectives. But what I don't like lately is stupid cold heartless republicans this and stupid naive democrats this. I'm finally making my own opinions about things lately and frankly I don't threaten to delete or unfollow people. I just do.

Added to that. I can't stand the post of people comparing their pets to having children. Um.. No! Definitely not the same thing. Okay sweetie.. So glad you budgeted to take your two dogs to doggy daycare. You're such a good mommy. However, as a dog owner myself.... You may want to train them to walk in a leash without pulling.

nicolesmith0624 · November 2015

ALLLLLLL of the things! Especially grown ass adults who use the status updates as a dear diary. We don't need to read every.single.thing that pops into your brain. For the love.
