Facebook pet peeves.

[Skellingtonj]

These are always fun.

When someone does something, example: buy a house, announce pregnancy, move. So they make a post about it. Then the moms of the people who did one of the above make a new post about it.

Please share yours.

Your pet peeve is moms posting about major life moments of their adult children?

It’s when someone posts something like ‘OMG I AM DONE ‘ and then of course people say what’s wrong? The answer is always either ‘I don’t want to talk about it’ or ‘dm me’.

Total cry for attention.

People gushing about how much they love their spouse or SO and how great they are when they are sitting in the same room. Why not turn off your phone or computer and just tell them. The 'funnier' ones are when you know the spouse or SO they are gushing about is cheating on them because the FB friend has told you.

The other one is taking pictures of their food, every single meal.

Another one, vaguebooking. If you don't want people to ask or know then don't vaguebook about it.

Now that I see how much Facebook gets on my nerves I understand why I don't post on there much anymore.

This is why I don't even have a Faceboook account...

My only one, people that complain about other people.

I don’t care about your workouts. Do members of orange theory get discounts for posting on social media?

 

[FlightlessDuck]

I think my Facebook pet peeve is just Facebook in general.

This! Either post it or don't post at all, but quit the cryptic crap. People do it so they'll get attention which I don't give them.

I also get tired of people asking for stuff, money etc and/or advertising their MLM which is a lot of FB right now.

The overall effect it has had on people.
There I said it.

Isn't that what you're doing?

No but a lot of my friends and I sling to the same gym and we compete with eachother

 

[MamaLema]

Old friends wanting to be friends...then you realize it’s only because they are selling something or real estate agents/ financial advisors looking for new clients.
I can’t unfriend fast enough.

 

[Soldier's*Sweeties]

Bragging in general. We have a family friend who just got married. His wife is the biggest bragger.

Self-righteous “lectures” telling others how to feel or behave... Especially if it’s in regards to anything political.

 

[luvsJack]

Normal daily posting doesn’t bother me. I know who to just scroll on by.

My peeve is those who comment on news articles and NEVER read the article. Like at all. Heck what they are saying doesn’t even fit the headline! Whether it’s about something political or whether the genie will be blue—read the dang thing!

my Facebook pet peeve is people who COMPLAIN about what people post on Facebook. Why do you add this person and that person? Why do you add that random school mate you havent seen in 30 years? Why do you add your family members???

I have 30 people as friends on Facebook, carefully curated. I dont add family, I dont add work colleagues, I dont add people from the neighbourhood, I dont add people I havent met in real life. I add my actual real life friends. If you are not someone I would go to the pub with on a Saturday night, then nope I will not accept your friend request.

As a result, my Facebook timeline is full of things I am actually interested in. My friend who lives in that country posts updates about her kids, my friend who lives in that other country posts photos from her holiday, my friend who lives in that country who had a destination wedding I couldnt afford to go to posts her wedding photos. We talk on Facebook about issues in our lives, and yes some friends have political views which dont align to mine, and you know what, its actually really interesting to see how the other side think.

Its YOUR facebook page, you are under no obligation to add everyone, and if someone posts things you dont like or dont want to see, UNFRIEND them, its that easy!!

That’s a bit easier said than done for a lot of people.

I am not friends with anyone I don’t actually know but if a family memeber sends me a request, I accept it. Really don’t want to go to a family dinner and get questioned about something like fb.

And for many, friending colleagues is expected to some extent.

I have only ever I unfriended a couple of people but there are a few I “unfollowed” we are still friends, they see what I post but I don’t see them unless they comment on a post of mine or another friend. Solves the problem without insult.

I don’t care about opposite political views, unless one is just way too extreme and those that post things that aren’t remotely true.

As is most of Facebook & similar forms of social media which is my pet peeve & why I don’t participate.

 

[Mariearistocat]

Overt bragging. I have unfollowed people who just have the need to brag about something every. Single. Day. If they have nothing new to brag about from that day, they dredge up an old post to comment on. My kids would be mortified if I posted about their accomplishments, hence I have extremely humble children. I just can't bring myself to post pics of my vacation or kids' report cards (gag).
Also (and this may sound cruel) people who wallow in sadness. They are always posting about people they have lost over the years to get attention. 'It's been 5 years since so and so passed away .." Then the next day, a different random relative. it's like no one else has ever lost anyone!

**Edited to add--example is my husband's school bff's wife. She has posted such goodies as herself lying in front of her new car.

theres also this great feature called Facebook Groups. Anyone can set up a group. For example, you could have a Family group, where people can post things which are of interest to everyone, for example, photos of their kids, holiday photos etc. You dont have to be friends with anyone in the group, that way you still keep in contact BUT dont see all their posts you have no interest in or all the religious posts you find offensive etc etc.

The same with work collegues, you can have a work group, but dont HAVE to friend everyone you work with.

I also have a big block list and have very high security settings, which means I rarely get random friend requests.

I just dont understand why people are not more selective with the the people they friend on Facebook
