    I f'in HATE those status updates along the lines of...
      Repost this if you have a Nanny in heaven... If you have a child and you are the greatest mummy... If you have the best daddy who was always there.... If you have a brilliant sister who is also your best friend... Repost this if you know someone who is passed away but is looking down on you

    Seriously. F*CK OFF!!

  • Registered Users Posts: 622 ✭✭✭sandmanporto

    Not going to go into much detail, but a friend's girlfriend posts a ridiculous amount of personal ****e on facebook... I knew their relationship was in major trouble before the poor ****er even did!
    The breakup was horrible... Was like watching a live feed of a train wreck!

    If you've got deeply personal stuff to air, for the love of god just talk it over with all parties involved and don't ****ing post it on facebook!!!

    A day in the life of my cousin - unemployed (but not actually looking for work) he writes sh*te on a half hourly/hourly daily basis, he starts of with stuff like

    "Good morning" (at about 1pm) followed by:
    "Need coffee",
    "coffee tasted great, ready to star the day now"
    "Bored"

    "watching *insert DVD title* now" (WTF, why are you on Facebook if you're watching a DVD",
    "*insert DVD title* was a great film, everyone should watch it, gonna watch *insert DVD title* now",
    "So bored what to do today" (how about getting up off your ar$e and looking for a job
    "
    "Need a fag
    "
    "What to do???" (look for a job maybe)
    "Still bored"
    "anyone know any good jokes, I need a good laugh"
    "going to take a shower now"
    "feel real refreshed after my shower"
    "bored.com"
    "watching *insert DVD title* now"
    "bored, anyone fancy going for a pint?"
    "fag then bed"
    "off to bed now"
    "Nite all"
    "WTF, can't sleep"
    (like going on FB is going to help that!!)
    "Wish I could go to sleep"
    "still awake"
    "really wish I could get some sleep"
    OK, still awake, what a load of balls"
    "going to smoke a fag"
    "Going to try and sleep again"
    "sleep won't come"
    "Time for another fag"
    "OK, round 4, will try to sleep again"

    "Arghh SILL awake"


    which is then followed by
    "morning peeps" a few hours later - and it starts all over again...

    (every now an then he'll throw in a "Its funny how the people who said they would always be there for you never are!!!!!!" or a "sick of being treated like a door mat" for good measure...

    ...and I am sorry to say, this is not in the slightest bit exaggerated

    I also hate the crap like:

    "I know my real friends will repost this...April is autism month...bla bla..."

    It is? Should I get my autistic cousin a card and a gift voucher? Cause a fcukin Facebook status ain't gonna help him.

    "today is sisters day"

    No it fcuking isn't.
    I f'in HATE those status updates along the lines of...

    This guy has great comedy value even though he doesn’t realise it. He is/tries to be one of these “drive together, die together” boy racer geniuses.

    Status Update (along these lines): Corolla gone - Out wit d old – in wit d new. Got nu project and dis is gonna be big. Gonna be bigger – louder – faster. Dis is gonna be the best project eva.

    Comment: What u get?

    His comment: Another Corolla – different colour.

    "My car needs to be fixed today so I have to take public transport...eww... FML!"

    Is your life seriously that bad? :confused: I don't mean to go all Trócaire up in this shizzle but there are familes in f*ckin squanders in some wastelands scattered around the world, I wish a person from north-east of Japan could read these FMLs from some of the youth of Ireland, a facebook status via iPhone from Fintan "My itouch isn't working so now I have to go onto facebook with my iphone, this recession sucks! FML"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,021 ✭✭✭Sulmac


    I don't know if it's just me, but I hate those people on Facebook who don't know the difference between there/they're/their and your/you're. :(

    Also, we all have that one melodramatic female as a friend who posts statuses such as, 'If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best.' They're usually the same person who tags themselves in every photograph but says 'OMG, I'm so ugly in this pic!'

    Seriously, piss off.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,327 ✭✭✭Sykk


    I saw one the other day that I thought was truly horrifying... It went something along the lines of:

    "Goodbye mammy, last mothers day with you was great and you will always be in my heart"..

    The girls mother had just died and the first thing she done was went onto facebook to post about it.. I wouldn't physically be able, nor would fcuking facebook even come into my head if that were me.. Find it pretty disturbing tbh.

All her posts were about how much medical stuff she was studying and she has a friend whose just become a doctor and kept telling him she knows how hard it is because of her year long course.

    LOL, I know a gimp like that. She's been unemployed for seven years. But for the last year she's updating us all on her quest to become an accountant with her one year "Introduction to Bookeeping" CE course that she was forced to go on or else they'd cut her off the dole.

    From one of my friends a few weeks back, " F**king hate < insert pub name > cant wait to get out of here and go clubbing."

    In the club, " Why is < insert club name > always full of cnuts and idiots. People are so full of ****e."

    4AM , " What a night, one of the best ever. "

    Followed the trials and tribulations of a Polish "friend" of my mine who was living in Ireland and her posts were similar to

    "Seriously h8 this fuking country" "Can't wait to leave Irland" (There's an e in it bítch)
    "H8 the weather, men and Irish food"
    So she moves to Germany and 3 weeks later

    "I miss Irland" (Still can't spell it eh?)
    "Miss my friends, can wait to come back" blah blah blah

    Glad it took the Germans to show how good we are. Won't delete her from friend list though as her constant moans make me smile and my life seems fab if not awesome.

    Hate this kinda thing too. I have one "friend" thats always doing this, she posts things like "pissed off" "so sad" "got the best news" etc, if you've got something to say just say it ffs :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,981 ✭✭✭ElleEm


    'had such a bad day today. found out who my real friends are' Followed by the usual comments 'aww what's up hun? 'ahh what happened?' and then the person comes back and says 'ah can't say on facebook go on chat'. PFFT keep your attention seeking crap off your status then!

    'lukn 4wrd 2 d wkwnd wiv me girlos' Girlos is the worst word ever.

    'going to bed, nite!'/'ahh cant believe its raining'/'so annoyed my free texts are gone'/'gutted I have to go to work today'- get very annoying very fast, nobody cares!

    I've only hidden one person, most of the rest have entertainment value.

    Oh I forgot 'FML' **** my life. Makes me angry seeing that.

    You must have the exact same "friend's list" as me... I've read ALL of these on my "friend's" statuses.

    +1 on the word "girlos".

    If someone I don't wish to overtly offend requests me as a friend, I add them and immediately remove them from my news feed and then after a couple of weeks block them from receiving any updates from me. I then remove them completely in one of my regular purges.

    I do this too. I get rid of people quite often.



    Another annoying FB thing is when people update their statuses during important times of their lives.
    I know someone who had a kid a few months back (she's raising him alone), and within a day of leaving hospital started posting "I don't need any other man in my life", "I love my baby", "loving my life, so lucky", "little man is so amazing" etc. I wondered how she had time to actually care for the child as she was updating so frequently.

    I know someone who is on honeymoon at the minute and she is updating her status at least once a day. Your honeymoon is hardly as "romantic" as you're letting on if you feel the need to tell everyone numerous times a day what you're eating/ trips you've taken/ how many cocktails you've had, etc.


  • Registered Users Posts: 716 ✭✭✭Luxie


    yeah that wrecks my head. i used to have a friend that said 'good morning facebook' and 'good night facebook' every day. she was quickly deleted

    What about the ones who inform you what day of the week it is?

    Errrr, yeah, thanks for that, I wasn't quite sure you know.

    There's a trend I've noticed on Facebook among some of my faux friends on Facebook which makes my skin crawl, and it is the act of mentioning a certain lecture/course/duration of time spent studying something and following that proclaiming themselves a nerd, usually in the most annoying way possible. For example:

    "Ben just spent the last three hours finishing the microbiology report....NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD!!!!!"

    Work/education: Civil Engineering (DIT)...nerd central!

    My problem with these soi-disant "nerds" is the fact the fact that they have disarmed any pejorative element of the word by directing it at themselves, so it effectively amounts to boasting about their supposed intellect. They wish solely to draw attention to their academic position or achievements, but their tact is just about sufficient to prevent them from posting "I'm so smart because I do this!", so instead they attempt to veil it in a supposed insult, which actually ends up being more annoying because comes across as even more smug.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,280 ✭✭✭✭Eric Cartman


    bad : posting on facebook something like "ughh i wish theyd stop" or "so pissed off at someone right now" etc...

    worse : that loner usually female friend who goes "ohh who are you on about ?"

    the worst part : the reply "ohh ill message you dont want to say it here"

    I'm on Facebook.
    My account is both work and personal.

    Sometimes it is quicker and easier to chat to DJs and staff through FB than on the phone. Its like they never disconnect.

    People who have to tell everyone what they doing, "i dont want to work tomorro after been a week off" Well arent ya lucky to have a job?

    When people say hungover.com, tired.com etc etc STFU!!

    Thank god you can hide people on FB, its a good feature FB put in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,986 ✭✭✭Noo


    Someone said it here already.......holidays!

    Why the hell would someone put up status updates while on holiday! I caught a friend doing it (i was here in ireland she was in spain i think) and told her to get the f**k off facebook back to the beach. Then people say "Oh I was only on it on my iPhone", why the f**k are you on your iphone. The only reason i bring my phone on holidays is for emergencies and to tell the time, mostly just to use the alarm or something.

    Or they post holiday pictures while still abroad! At least wait til you get home you saps. Holidays are to relax and get away from everyday life, you get to go on facebook for the rest of the year!

    They have a countdown til the day they go, then they have "just landed in lanzarote!", then the hangover updates during the day etc, then "Cant believe we're going home already", then "just landed in dublin", then a few days later "i wish i was back in lanzarote", in between of course uploading their sh*tload of useless photos!

    aahh grinds my gears!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,588 ✭✭✭STIG83


    Another one i have is people who say they are bored or nothing to do, well get the f**k off FB and go do something, clean the house or go for a walk,

    when i travelled to NZ for 6 weeks i had mam mithering me for pics after a few days. i didnt upload any till id been there 3 weeks and i was at a friends place there. the last thing i wanted to do was spend hours on a pc - i used to just check in with email etc before bed.
    that said - when i was in spain for 2 weeks she'd be mithering me for pics (omg what is it with pics....) i purposefully took pics of amusing things - a sorta of holiday pics with a difference: hello kitty ice cream i saw, the mug with my tea in it, me sat on one of those kids horse thingie you pay to use, my feet with flip flops on and a wine glass etc. then didnt upload them til i got home (but again id be checking email before bed - i was staying with family so why not)

    the stauses dont bother me so much - i just ignore the newsfeed for the most part. but the nerves really grate if i see someone arguing with someone else on their fb status - in txt speak... school is skewl - thats possibly the worst

    I hid updates from a friend of mine for constantly posting an update every time her child coughs or sneezes, which is several times a day apparently :rolleyes:

    The funniest one I ever saw was on my cousin's account, let's call him "Brian":

    Brian says: Brian, how do I get out of your Facebook and onto my Facebook? Love, mum.
    Comment (also from Brian): For god's sake mum I've shown you this a dozen times!!!

    to be honest it feels like people who comment on arguements (but when you ask what the problem is they say 'i cant say on FB'), send all these lovey dovey msgs to a hubby IN THEIR HOUSE, the update on their child and the ones who are always talking about 'a smashing night but god my head is wrecked' etc etc - all seems like people trying to make their life sound more interesting than they think it is.
    maybe thats a bit of a cynical thought but thats exactly how it feels to see that stuff. but its also why i dont let it get to me, its hardly important what anyone else does to feel better.

    its the same with the check in thing. its always people i know who love to sound like they travel all over (mainly dublin in my f-list case) although im not sure what to make of the 'on the sofa with amy (link to amy)' 'in bed with amy link)'
    but i do know if i was with someone who alluded to our sex life like that we'd be having stern words
