Seriously? What is the point of this?

Bad form! Way to bring it down. Those type of people are just complainers no matter what is going on. I work with one of those and there is nothing good that comes out of her mouth. I try my hardest not to have too many conversations with her, it brings ME down!

WOW...that is a crappy "friend". I would never say that...even thought there are people on my FB that I would like to say it to, but I never would.

Definitely rude on the face, but it's also possible that it means something between the two. Perhaps they had a recent conversation about budgeting and the poster is now cracking down on spending because their friend (the one going to dinner) gave good tips about financial responsibility.

Obviously, I'm totally making that up, but I would advise remembering (in this and other situations) that there could be subtext between the friends that makes the meaning different that it seems on the surface.

Just post this for the offender:



ETA:  Mercy, that was huge!  Sorry about that

My ex's current wife does that. Bottom line is she is mad about money that comes to me as part of the split of our community property (a retirement plan that can't be paid out as a lump sum). She feels is should be hers and they'd be so much better off if they had it.
In her mind every one is millionaires but them and it rankles her. She blew up at one of her "friends" once because they aren't millionaires but only make $50,000 a year. (not a bad income for 2 with no kids in the house or to put through college)

I have a family member like that. No matter what she will turn it into a "woe is me" must be nice thing. Drives me nuts!

There is a turd in every punchbowl. And the turdiness as always tells you more about where their brains and emotions are than about you.

That's my sister-in-law. You can always count on her to make the bitchy comment. The "Must be nice!" comments are her specialty. Sigh. 

Wow. I absolutely would have deleted those comments and then put that aunt on my do not see new posts list. What a shitty thing to do.

Ugh! Yea, I think we all have somebody on FB like that who always has to make the negative comment. For me, it's my aunt. But she thinks she's being funny. I just ignore it.

But about this:



I know what you mean about the subtext between friends. That happens all the time - like there's a private joke between people and somebody who knows nothing about it comes along and comments. The other day I posted complaining about the cars around here who don't yield to pedestrians. And I said something about where's a cop when you need them. One of my FB "friends" who obviously doesn't really know me or my family (not sure why he's even a FB friend!) makes a comment about cops being lazy, self-serving, and they're probably under a tree eating donuts. What he didn't know is that my dh and my ds are cops and that the comment I made was in jest towards them. They got it - he didn't. So of course others had to comment asking who that guy is and doesn't he know who we are? We all thought it was pretty funny!

My mother was like this. Always fishing for sympathy, and resentful of anyone else having fun/luck/happiness. Luckily, there is always the option to Unfriend these misery guts.

I hate that phrase!
