    I think most people on facebook look ugly, but try telling that to them.

    It's the baby pictures that drive me mad. I mean the baby must literally have only popped out before some of the Mums have the pics on Facebook. Then there are the ones of them lying in bed together with baby & partner Very sweet but they are the type of photos that should remain private IMO.

    Oh god... I hate the baby pictures... I know a guy whose girlfriend took pictures of him while he was asleep too and put them up. I find that incredibly creepy.

    facebook is mainly used for braging and attention seeking. People seem to want to document there livies on facebook. Have a few (female) friends that would take photos on a night out for the sole purpose of putting up on facebook. i mean cant you just go and enjoy a night out without have documented evidence of it plastered all over the internet confused.gif

    Definitely agree with this one right here... I've friends who go on with that crap.
    I've come to the conclusion that the best nights out are the ones when you've no photos to show for it - you were too busy having a good time!

    What's been bothering me lately is the amount of pictures of food (mainly seems to be cupcakes and pizzas) that are posted by the same people several times a day. Most of these people are in seriously bad health (overweight), so I'm not sure if they feel that sharing a picture to facebook is akin to sharing the food with others. It's not.

    Instagram has made that 10 times worse. Posting pictures of their retro Burger King they just ate. Who gives a foooooooook.

    I generally dislike the website, yet still use it every day. :pac:

    The majority of pictures are grand imo but it's the ones that are taken by professional photographers in nightclubs that are the best. Lads off their minds on drink pulling the worst faces of all time and then the young ones with their poorly applied make-up. Makes for entertaining viewing, as long as you're not one of them.

    My facebook friends are about 2% people who I would like to communicate with 50% attractive women and 48% to make the attractive women less suspicious.

    Bragging on facebook Pfffft


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 720 ✭✭✭Fight_Night


    Lot of miserable farts ITT.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,190 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Ahh...the old facebook is crap thread ...by people who probably spend as much time on it as the people they are slagging off ...oh the Irony .

    Lots of people use facebook to look up old friends and acquaintances and associations and private groups are formed on there , just as in real life .If they were all as phoney as some make out here then you would know them well enough to tell them to their faces ...right ?

    Simple solution , if you don't like facebook or any other social network sight then stay the **** away from it .

    Don't tell me what to do!

    Probably a slight generalisation but I'd say most people complaining probably don't do all that well in social situations in general. Lighten up ffs so someone had a baby and they posted a picture of it? The bastards! It's a bit of fun and a way to keep in touch with others, ie. a way of socialising.

    The posed pictures really annoy me, theres this girl I know....unfortunately, anyway she's really into fitness (Jodi marsh) style and constantly puts pictures of herself up in gym gear with captions like "ugh feel so fat" there's more fat on an apple

    I fucking hate that shit. I had a MySpace for my music back when, and a chick who "Liked" or whatever my page would post pictures of herself, pouting at the camera or doing that coy-look-away pose, wearing a hat or some crap. They all had the same type of caption, "I am so ugly LOL!" All the guys would post the usual garbage about how she was a gorgeous, so I said yeah, you're ugly as balls.

    my OP says nothing about baby photos etc..I can't understand why people brag/boast so much on it thats all, personally I think its a personality deficit..If we'll say 'the bragger' said that crap to you in person, they'd be told to grow up a bit.

    Well I know myself I've posted pics of me getting highscores in video games(I know such a cool guy :P), if I go somewhere cool I'll tweet a picture of it. It's a way of letting people know what's going on. Which is basically what social networking is for. Ok you didn't actually ask for them to post it but it's no harm posting it.

    Although there is one guy I know who posts constant pictures of his car, which annoys me, but that's just because I don't like cars, if I did I'm sure I'd be interested in what new feature he installed on it.

    All the White Knights came to her rescue and clued me in on the many ways they were going to kick my ass. She told me she would never buy my music again. I told her who ever she bought it from ripped her off because it's all available for free online. It went on for a few weeks.

    I wouldn't really say the majority of people hate the site itself, just some of the bollocks that some people post on it. Like seriously, I don't want to know if someone has checked in at their cosy bed

    something similar happened with me, one girl put up a really cheesey quote on fb, I said 'dislike' underneath for the laugh (well to stir the sh1t really)...about 20 comments after from all her nutcase sisters saying how they're gonna get me:eek:

    Facebook causes depression, at least in my case....Everyone seems so happy, always on holiday, always going out...and me sitting on a couch....not for me this social thing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,692 ✭✭✭michellie


    I have a friend who checks in every god damn place, most days of the week, and will post daily photos - they just have to show the world what there up to.

    Have some kind of a private life like!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,166 ✭✭✭Cheeky_gal


    They have a competition on Facebook called "mums and tots" where you post a photo of your baby and randomers "like" the "cutest baby". The baby that gets the most likes wins. Wins what though God only knows.

    The thing is everyone is Mailing one another saying "hey! Would u please like my baby!". Girls who I haven't spoken to in years are mailing me asking me to like their baby, eh as if. They can p*ss off

    A lot of people I went to school with are on their obligatory J1s this summer, and every night they're uploading photos of their wonderful stateside adventures.

    I won't lie, I'm jealous as fook. Stop bragging about your 'amazeballs' time, you're making us poor plebs at home feel bad :(

    I know I could unsubscribe from their updates but I'm glutton for punishment :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,029 ✭✭✭SusieBlue


    I know girls who constantly put up totally photoshopped photos of themselves with captions like:

    "No make up - I am who I am and if you can't accept me you don't deserve to be in my life. I may be fat and ugly but beauty comes from within!.

    Just fall off a cliff or something, seriously.
