    What are things that people post on Facebook that make you go "really? *Face Palm*"?

    I'll start.

    When people post they are going to the gym. I have one friend who constantly posts she is going to the gym.

    "Going to the gym about to get my work out on."

    "Sweating."

    Picture of her working out.

    "I work hard."

    Like really do you even work out when your at the gym or jsut take pictures and posts status.

    @figgnewton:  OMG! I hate that too!! Like who cares you are going to the gym! I go all the time and I dont post about it! I personally hate when people "tag" where they are..thats so creeepy...like why do you want so many people to know where you go all the time in your life to eat, shop etc

    The tagging phenomenon is strictly for people disinteresting enough to garner the attention of an actual stalker, so they force you to stalk them unwillingly..., but I'll admit it is nice to know where someone I dislike is all of the time, I can avoid them with the stealth of a panther....

    The workout announcers get blocked after the third offense, there's only one sweaty person I wanna see, that's Mr. 99, so stop it, right now.

    The only other thing that makes me insane, are couples that write each other love notes on each other's wall, so it shows up in all of our feeds and we must also celebrate the special special-ness of your super special love....blarg...

    I had a friend recently post something like "So happy when karma comes around". Someone immediately replied "I know this is about me" and thus began a series of back and forth posts about how my friend was really referring to something else.

    1. Yay for someones passive agressive post backfiring

    2. Clearly the person who replied felt guilty about something haha

    @Nona99:  Lol yeahhhhhh I have that friend too. They share a profile. It's all smooches and I love yous. Barf. I am happily married and don't do that.

    @sweetchiquita12:  Yeah I don't get the tag thing either.

     

    Okay so I am 20 and have alot of friends on my list from high school. Sometimes I forget I'm 20 and think I am wayyyyy older.

    A friend of mine I lost touch with always posts a blunt or lighting a blunt and the caption is "#faded"

    Drives me friggin' crazy.

    There are a couple girls, family friends, who POST literally everything in their life. There was actually a poop status once. It's kind of amusing but 90% of the time I'm just like WTF! These people have no shame.

    Honestly I was getting so bitter about how stupid, inane and self-absorbed most of my facebook friends were online, including many of my actual friends, that I deleted everyone down from 400 friends to 31, deleted everything on my wall from when I joined in 2007 on, all my photos, everything. My profile is so bare that facebook's code treats me like a new user (Welcome!). I just don't use it. I closed my wall. I've been invited to one event in a month on facebook, which I went to; the rest of the time I've been out with friends who actually made plans in person.

    It's made my relationships a lot better, and frankly I have a lot more spare time spent worrying about actual things, not reading other people's boring b.s.

    My two latest facebook petpeeves are:

    1. When people post about their favorite sports team 15 times during one game. Honestly, it takes up my whole news feed and to be truthful I could care less if they are super excited some sweaty athlete pranced across a goal line. I watch sports myself but if I cared about the scores in the game they were watching, then I'd watch it too!

    2. Those who post their legal opinions in excess and then pick fights with every friend of theirs on facebook who slightly disagrees with their views. Same problem here - my whole news feed is consumed by their opinions (which I already knew since they already posted them every day this month).

    Okay, vent over.

    My husband has a friend who used to post about how he was going to go home and make sweet love to his hot-ass wife.  "Yeah that's right, we're going to get it on.  I love my wife and that's what we do.  It's not dirty it's love.  You wish you were married to her hot ass."

    Thank goodness he unfriended me first.  Guess a couple pictures of our puppy were just too boring.  :)

    shared profiles annoy the fuck out of me. the funny thing with those though- when they do write to each other, it looks like it's one person having a conversation with themselves. at least that part is amusing. 

    i have a friend who posts vague drama statutes like "just one more day until i don't have to deal with bullshit. karma will go around" or some stupid shit like that. i NEVER ask her what's wrong because frankly i don't care (we're more like acquaintances than friends). it's always something with a boyfriend. she can't stay in a relationship if her life depended on it. she always dates disfunctional guys.

    @Cady:  def +1

     and the ppl who whine the most are the ones saying "oh, I'm going to delete the next person who whines" 

    or posts like
    " just arrived at the gym" and tagging themselfes at the gym posting "I'm running 4k today" but you can see that they are at the mall on the other side of town at that moment (on that automatic function that tells you where someone is)...hilarious :)

    I hate passive agressive posts. I have a FB friend notorious for it. Every day she is constantly posting something about someone who has pissed her off. Yesterday someone made her upset because if they are over 18 and not grown up they need to grow up right now. Her latest is about how people text her when she is with her family and how she can't put her phone on silent becuase that would affect the peopel she wants to hear from. If you hate someone that bad, why not tell them and then block them instead? I just find it something a teenager would complain about not a 26 year old married mother of one and one on the way.

    I have a few people who use their posts as ways to get attention. Like:

    "Whelp. Today escalated quickly towards the negative. Good thing its only noon and I still have time to make it better" .... and just last night it was: "tonight was just a plethora of amazing good things :) Oh I'm happy."

    I don't mind most updates... but it's ones like these that are so over the top (there are much worse ones but these were at the top of the feed) where they're looking for someone to say, "Oh no, keep smiling!" and then they're like, "Oh, it's okay... I'm really okay, just needed to vent" ... to everyone you know? O_o

     

    Yeah that drives me bonkers.

    I also have a friend that ONLY posts Bible quotes. While I have a ton of Christian friends, I appreciate that they talk about real life sometimes too :P

    Facebook Friend: I'm sooo broke!! How am I going to fix my car/pay for gas/eat?

    Same Facebook Friend later that night:  At the Bar!!! (with photo of them holding 2 beers while taking a shot)

    "I don't have a narcissist bone in this smoking hot body." I think he means narcissistic. Still.

     

    "Banana"  I swear to god, I'm just going down my newsfeed and posting them in order. All of my friends are insane.

     

    "I wanna go home"

     

    "I hate thunderstorms"

     

    "Ugh. I'm so bored."

     

     

    I should probably go through and delete most of these people, since I don't talk to them. Hah.

    I hate the posts that completely bash someone else and could be used against the person who posted it in a court of law, lol. Everyone should know not to post about how they're gonna kill someone or beat the sh** out of someone.

    I can't stand when my news feed is attacked with tons of photos of stupid jokes, gun control/Obama is a tyrant photos, and tons of bible verses. Sharing your opinion is fine. But I don't want to see all 50 of the stupid photos that you decided were just too funny/quirky/sweet or whatever that you just HAD to share.

    I hate the whole hashtag phenomenon. I have friends from high school that hashtag things that don't even make sense. For example - #livingitupinaustraliawithmycrewcuthairdo - What?

    There's also one particular person who I accepted a long, long time ago - who I really don't know - but I do know that he got a girl pregnant, the girl won't let him see the child, he just got engaged to someone else, and is trying to make it 'big' as a rapper? This posts are then followed by some lame attempt at rapping. I keep meaning to delete him, but his status' are more dramatic then Grey's Anatomy.

    I also hate the old "Deleting people I don't talk to often, if you're still here in 10minutes count yourself lucky" - How lucky am I?!

    Last one.. I promise! I cringe when I see couple's that share a facebook page. Like really? You are your own person! It's not cute, it's cheesey as hell.

    I hate the vague posts that make it seem like the person just wants you to comment and ask about it. This makes me 100% sure not to comment. One of my friends does this constantly. She'll post things like:

    "It finally happened. :)" or "Yay, I got one!" or "I just feel like crying, but it's not worth it".

    It drives me crazy, but what's worse is the people who comment and give her positive reinforcement so she keeps doing it.

My MIL ALWAYS falls for them! Ugh! She shared one the other day "Like if you think baby's are a gift from God!" and I about died laughing because one of her friends was a smart ass and said "Baby's what?"

    Oh, and I have a friend from high school who posted a pic of her feet in the stirrups at the gynecologist's office and said "bet you're having a better day than me #dochascoldfingers". I deleted her.

    I went through about a year ago and unfriended anyone who posted an inordinate number of posts about their bad health and/or bad life but still thanked God they were alive...even though they were downright miserable. 

    I also unfriended anyone who posted over the top postive posts about their wonderful lives, the new car/house/camper/horse they had just bought, the fact that their kids were perfect, etc.  No one has it that good.  One girl actually send me a message and asked why we weren't friends anymore.  I didn't answer her so she blocked me.  Ouch..hurt me. 

    I'm getting ready to unfriend someone who's son or daugher was obviously snitched so that the snitch could stay out of jail.  I say obviously because that's what she said in 2-3 different posts.  Of course, she's mad at the snitch...let's forget that her own child broke the law in some way also (most likely drug-related) but at least they've never snitched and for that she's proud of them.  *sigh*

    Really people?  You're all a bunch of assholes.  Ha ha...

    If you're able to post while working out, you're simply not working out hard enough.

    The worst is seeing someone physically talking on the phone at the gym.  Don't kid yourself - go home.

    I actually find it annoying when bride-to-be's post every step of their wedding planning... ie. "First fitting today!"... "Last fitting today!"... "Cake tasting today!"... "Wedding band shopping today!"... It's sad, but really. nobody. cares.

    Maybe I'm just a modest bride.

    @Happy2bMrs:  le tired is from a hilarious flash about the end of the world.  http://www.endofworld.net/ lol it makes me laugh so hard.

     

    Things that bother me on facebook...endless pictures of your kids.  Um, are you no longer a person because you have kids?  Some of my friends are cool about this, and post pictures of their kids as well as "normal" stuff, but others are just...omg they make me wanna slap em.  

     

    Another are pictures like this shit:

    Or the ones where the person talks about some tragic subject and then says, "Share this if you think people should never get cancer.  If you don't share this, someone will die."

    i agree with the posting about working out. there is a girl i went to high school with who posts exactly how many calories she burns at the gym every day. really?

    and no offense to all the parents out there, but nobody really cares if your kid used the "big boy potty" or when they are sick and you have to stay home from work to take them to the doctor. it gets really annoying when that's all you talk about.

    also can't stand people who post about sporting events, teams, and athletes 24/7. 

    all these people get removed from my news feed!
