Sometimes I feel like a cranky old woman (fluff)

I've had to unfollow a lot of people on FB.

It’s FAKEBOOK

My Bestie and I DO have a drinking game! We have an acquaintance that posts such cringy, braggy Facebook posts that we started just sending a wine glass picture to each other. No comments, just a gif of a wine glass. We used to send cranky old-lady texts to each other ("OMG, did you see what XXX posted now? What is wrong with her?") but the snarky wine glass game just was more fun and better for OUR mental health.

I enjoy things like that because DH and I get a private laugh while still enjoying the baby (or whatever).
We're like OH BOY ROBERT POSTED AGAIN and send each other screen shots or read them aloud to each other in an exaggerated voice.

And no, ROBERT is not an assumed name. There's actually two of them. 🤣

We have a neighbor at the lake who’s prolific on social media and literally every post is of her, her DH and/or friends drinking. We get it, you’re retired now and living your best life, but damn. That’s a lot of booze!     DH is her “friend” on FB and he always rolls his eyes when he sees yet another one of those posts.

I secretly hit a barf emoji in my mind. 🤢🤮
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you for this suggestion.  I have someone in my life and I won't say where from (wink, wink) who's posts drive me insane lately.  I am normally one to not care about things, but it just grinds my ass when I think about what she's doing right now.  I am not normally a jealous type either, but combined with a circumstance I'm having at work and then a reminder about my grief on Friday, I was right down in the "my life's not fair dumps" after reading her posts.  It feels icky.  And I haven't been able to shake any of it off since Friday.  Maybe if I can implement this, me and my friend can laugh instead of be angry\jealous\disappointed\irritated.   

Add me to the cranky old lady bunch. I have a SIL who is just extra on social media. Luckily, I don't use FB, but DD tells me occasionally about an extra extra post.

Is anyone familiar w/this song sung to the tune of Farmer in the Dell: Announcements. Annnnounnnnnceeeements. A horrible way to die. A horrible way to die. Announcements. Announcements. A horrible way to die. It's from the Boy Scouts, but wow does it fit, sometimes. Not everything has to be a proclamation.

you are not alone. those kinds of posts get tiring. i've unfollowed a lot of people for that reason.

I have a friend like that and although I love her, she is driving me freakin’ crazy. She is also a health coach with a multi-level marketing co. She posts a lot of company stock photos to make followers think she has tons of clients. I had to unfollow her, but not unfriend her, to survive the madness. Sigh…

People here do that, lol. Not so much anymore but I remember one pea who couldn't resist answering every thread with a mention. I don't remember who it was, it might have been the old board.

Then there was the Mountain Home, TP hoarding, crotch-ironing pea. She sure was proud of that mountain home. I miss that pea!

I have a friend who does the same type of thing but a lot of it is centered around money. New cars, extravagant vacations and gifts, her hard working wonderful husband, best kids ever. It’s mostly the money thing that bugs me. Just such bragging.
