I would like to tell my inlaws..... " that's not how this works, that's not how any of this works" lol. FIL just constantly replies to posts of my DH and all of our nieces and nephews, he replies so many times it looks like he is having a conversation with himself and that is WHY NO ONE ELSE replies. This among many other things is why I refuse to friend him or MIL.
And I have another one.. I have a friend that posts A. LOT. OF. Selfies. Except she does not take them. She gets someone else to take them while she "poses"
YES, WE get that you lost weight, WE get that you go to the gym, WE get that your DH bought a BMW, WE get that you love your hubby and think he is "HOT" -- you dont need to keep telling us on a daily basis.
she never posted stuff, so when she 1st started posting some stuff it was ok... NOW. IT. IS. ANNOYING.

If all you want to do is post recipes, for the love of God, join Pinterest. For another friend ... please stop posting pictures of abused animals. I think your friends are all against animal abuse too.

Yep, but I un friend them. This one woman is constantly raving about her every day life. i honestly feel like she just runs around for her kids all the time. She is always posting every little detail. She is always putting her kids on a pedestal. Two things I want to ask. One is shallow. Do you even care about how you look? Why do you have this need to post it on facebook if you love your life so much? Recently she said "I'm thinking of taking a facebook break. Pm me if you want to stay in contact." I laughed to myself. She deleted it and I thought "hmmm, maybe no one messaged?" Then she posted "I usually get embarrassed when I get a compliment....." I finally just unfriended her. Is she freekin kidding me ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) She is too busy boasting to even hear/read and accept one. I'm convinced that people who live their life on FB like that - their life isn't anything like what they are trying to portray.

I have three...
Friend One: Please for the love of God stop posting pictures of your cat. Multiple times a day. Oh, and you dress your six-year-old like a street walker.
Friend Two: Please stop posting the same posed selfie multiple times a day...you are 41 years old, not 14. Oh, and the more you gush about how wonderful your husband is and how much he spoils you, the more I don't believe it.
Friend Three: I get that you love animals. I just can't take anymore photos of dogs who have been mistreated or hit by cars, cats that have been set on fire, etc. It makes me afraid to look at Facebook for fear of what I will see next.

I ignore a lot of what people post on Facebook BUT it was very painful to 'watch" one of my former co-workers/good friends basically write out the demise of her marriage on there. Every.Damned.Day she would post a 2-3 paragraph rant about "no-good-cheating-lying-men" and "you'll get what's coming to you and so will she." I would PM her and ask her to talk about it and we would but then she would just go right back on her profile and rant some more. I just stopped trying to help her talk it out privately after a few weeks of that. It's been 6 months, she's divorced and now she must be in the post-traumatic-divorce-syndrome (another FB friends words, not mine) phase because it's all "Oh I'll never find another trustworthy man again" and "who can you trust other than your cat?" ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/OrTI4SBmZ2ZYSFv6ag4f.jpg) I love her, but geez I hope she gets on to the "it's raining men" or "I'm single and loving it" phase soon! ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/Q_m8lDOvc_3Le3r1GKdf.jpg) Edited to add: Sorry, I should have posted in reply to OP: "For the love of Peter, Paul, and Mary please STOP posting the demise of your marriage for all to see here!" and unrelated to above friend but for another "Cara, STOP with the duck lips! You are 44 years old...and your lips are already 2 effed up plastic surgeries too big!"

I keep thinking if I was running all over my house would be filthy and I'd be yelling at my kids because of the stress.

I have one that does this (with the pre requisite duck face) and adds in saying how fabulous and perfect her kids are.
I would love to get away from Facebook, but so many groups use it as their only means of communication that I have to keep it. I do use the unfollow button a lot as to not cause any issues by unfriending someone. The drama that follows that is unreal!

For me, it's the vague bookers. ugh, I am not contacting you to ask what's up. Spill or not, don't post vague shit. I have a friend who often vaguebooks and she recently posted asking her friends what her resolutions should be. In a moment of self restraint weakness I told her number 1 should be to stop vaguebooking. My post got multiple likes so I think I just said what everybody was thinking. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/OrTI4SBmZ2ZYSFv6ag4f.jpg)

I'm guilty of posting photos of our cat. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/Q_m8lDOvc_3Le3r1GKdf.jpg) The vaguebookers drive me insane. I finally just unfollowed them and I feel a lot better. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg) There is this woman I know who only posts negative things about her husband and her kids. She's a SAHM, lives in a HUGE house in a rich suburb and they take fabulous vacations all the time. I kind of feel like if she's that miserable, maybe she should work on her marriage offline instead of posting so much negativity towards her husband. He's not on Facebook, but he can still find out what she's posting through friends/family. I almost want to say to her, "I'm sorry your diamond shoes are too tight, but if you don't change your Facebook posting habits, you truly will be a single mother" She says she feels like a single mom ALL THE TIME. Uh, you're not a single mom because you don't have to worry about making an income to pay the bills. Grrrrr, it just chaps my hide!

Your selfies are ugly. So are the pics of your half naked, out of shape hubby, sleeping.
Seriously, every day it's a selfie and a pic of her hubby sleeping, usually with one of their dogs. At least the dogs are cute.

This article has been all over my feed the last 24 hours since its in my city. DOG RIDES CITY BUS BY ITSELF
IMO it's not cute or funny. Humans are weird and this is irresponsible, foolish, and possibly dangerous for the dog to be out on its own. Not to mention we do have a leash law. And then there are the people who don't find dogs as endearing as others and may actually be afraid of them. i volunteer at our city animal shelter and an appropriate response would be a visit from one of our staff with the dog's owner. Yeah, it's cute while he's sitting in the seat looking out the window. Not so cute when he exits and gets hit by a car. That's why I don't like Hachi; a Dog's Tale. Let your dog out every day to follow you to the train station and expect he'll go home. Then leave him to die by the railroad tracks because you know he'd rather run away and not live with a family.

ETA: I have a friend who is a "life coach". She's constantly sending e-vites to come to some celebration, discovering yourself, blah blah blah. She was home schooled most of her life (unfortunately it was not in a good way, her mom is a bit of a nutter). Her grammar is terrible and she barely made it through high school. I consistently decline thinking she'll realize I don't care. I do giggle at the pictures of her retreats and the team building exercises she posts.

There's a person I know who constantly posts nothing but blurred, enhanced selfies because she likes all the attention she gets from strange men. Many pics are suggestive. Her selfies are blurred because she is trying to appear like a young, hot 20 something. In reality, she's a lonely, insecure, divorced woman in her 50's who smokes pot trying to escape reality. I honestly feel bad for her. She's led a hard life full of bad mistakes and isn't capable of learning from them. I really wish she'd learn to love herself.

Many, many times, I want to point out to DH's cousin that she sounds like a friggin' idiot when she starts ranting about how awful her kid's school is, how terrible common core is, etc. She can't even use the right word for principal. She makes threats about homeschooling her kids and I keep wanting to beg her NOT to. Her kids do not need to suffer from her ignorance. ETA - I've sat on my hands on numerous of posts by my mother and sister. They both keep sharing posts of lost/found pets without checking to see if there are any updates. Once, my sister shared a picture of a lost dog in England. We know no one in England. Many times, they've shared a picture several hours and even days after the dog had been located and returned home. ![;-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/squint.png) I've pointed it out to them a couple of times but it continues. I bite my tongue on a lot of posts because I really do not want to rock the boat. DH knows his cousin is an idiot and just parrots whatever her Dad says. We both know my mother and sister will never check, just click on share for every lost animal that hits their feed. As a result, I'm just not active on FB.

I know a woman that went vegan 6 months ago and now all she posts are peta offensive ads telling people they shouldn't eat meat. I don't eat meat but just think her posts are overboard and weird coming from someone who had no problem eating meat last year.

Stop trying so hard to be like everyone else - you are a grown a$$ woman with 3 kids. This is not high school. And you are broke - all you do is b!tch about having no money, yet you run out and buy all these things that the "cool" kids have. Oh you bought another pair of UGGs and Tory Burch fit bracelet for $195, yet you have no groceries and you do not have health insurance for yourself because its to damn expensive. PRIORITIES people, priorities.

1. I'm glad your sports team gives you such joy. However, maybe you might want to consider creating a separate FB page for your sports friends? 2 months of multiple daily shares from the pr office of that team/espn/fan sites -- all with huge photos and videos-- has made me hide your feed. I also miss my friend who used to be far more interesting and I interested in something other than football.
2. Ever since you quit work to be a SAHM to your school age kids, you have become an unhappy, neurotic, hypochondriac mess. A good deal of this is caused by you hooking up with women who are professional soldiers in the mommy wars. They are really not your friends; they are just using you to make themselves feel better. Plus your involvement in this adoptive mommy group is so unhealthy because their crazy focus on "understanding that our children are not ours, but just on loan from their real parents" is sucking the joy from your life and making your kids feel insecure.

When I feel like my life is just not how I pictured it to be, I just have to go to this friend's page and then I don't feel so bad....but cripes all what he does is crab about his vehicle, the weather, the landlord....I want to tell him to grow up, and maybe this is one reason his kid doesn't want to be around him and not the ex-wife. You must be friends with my ex husband. Just kidding...

I have a classmate that I graduated with who married into money. He checks in at every pretentious restaurant in whatever city he is visiting whether business or pleasure and I just want to say "Dude, don't you ever just eat at Chipotle?" A guy Dh went to school with is always posting about where they went for dinner. I mean always. His wife can't /won't cook. I don't know them well enough but it is a sore spot for her, from what I've heard. Anyway he has the money to do this, he's self employed doing a job nobody else wants to do. But he keeps posting pics of them at places like Golden Corral (cheap buffet chain).

When my fingers are itching to post something I shouldn't I text my best friend instead since we share so many FB friends. Excessive use of exclamation points, vaguebooking, and use of the word "journey" all get snark from me. (On the other hand, I know I'm guilty of an obnoxious amount of Zumba posts amongst other FB a offenses so I apologize, Facebook friends!)

I follow a fitness expert whose public fan page is full of pictures of her 14 year old dd in bikinis playing beach volleyball. Multiple people have told her it's not appropriate and she flipped out saying it was a nationally recognized sport. Her immature temper tantrum got support from plenty of people.

Oh I have a few. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/Q_m8lDOvc_3Le3r1GKdf.jpg) 1 - DH's niece. You're not as hot as you think you are. Stop posting videos of yourself 'strutting', you look like a hooker. You're not a gangster and posting things like "Ima pop you" make you look like an idiot. Get a job and grow up. 2 - Former neighbor. Everything is a conspiracy. Obama, war on Christianity, etc. We're so far apart politically that we'd never be friends if we lived closer, but for entertainment value there's something there. 3 - Friend who I blocked. Yes, I know you have books on Amazon and are an author. But I can get through the day just fine without 15 inspirational quotes about how to live my life. One a day, fine, but one after the other after the other is way too much. 4 - Cousin's former fiance (and mother of their kids). You have four kids by three different men and have custody of none of them. I know you love your wonderful new man but we don't need to hear every detail of your life and how amazing it is. You're over 400 pounds and never leave your apartment. Also, if you're selling hairbows, then $3 each or two for $7 is NOT a deal.

I've joined bootcamp with a group a friends. We have a bootcamp group. One friend has shared every dang thing about excising/eating multiple times a day. I get that we are making a change, but before bootcamp she had other things going on. It's gong to be a loooooooooooong 12 weeks. I post anything related to bootcamp in the group. I've hidden my friend from my feed. I don't need to know what she ate and how many squats she did and how much water she has drunk today. It's tedious.

I have a friend who posts constantly about how much she loves Zumba, how much weight she has lost doing Zumba, how great her butt looks from Zumba, with a status update each and EVERY time she attends a Zumba class. Frequently she will post an update that only says "Zumba!" I would like to tell her to STFU about Zumba already.

I have one friend who changes boyfriends every few months. When she posts another "This is me and the love of my life" picture, I really have to restrain myself, cause I wanna say, "Yeah, that's what you said about the last guy. And the one before that. And the one before that."

Please stop posting what some might say are provocative pics of your daughter, at 14 and 15, romantic shots with her boyfriend "you just love", and the catered barge party you threw for her, New Years Eve Ball, etc.
Stop trying to give her the experiences you missed because you got pregnant too young,
It APPEARS by turning everything into a college-age experience you are pushing her into the same situation.

Just because you call each other "wifey" and "hubby" doesn't make it so. You are not married. You change partners every other minute. Drives me crazy!!
Also, you are right--very few of us really care about your latest drama. You can post all day long about how you are so neglected in real life and on FB and it doesn't make me want to give you any attention.

I second (or was it third?) the "can you give this abused animal a home?" posts from people in other countries. No, and all you're doing is upsetting me.
The political links.
The 40 individual posts (because she doesn't know how to group them) of blurred photos of unknown people at a party.
The 10 inspirational posts each day. One is cool. 10 I scroll past without even looking.
The map showing how many miles you ran today. Well bully for you.
The "if you share this you'll get good luck, if you don't something awful will happen". How old are you - 8?
Any random photo of your child with this kind of crap as the only comment "#daughter #playdough #gaston #ladybird #benandholly #fun #love #play #make #recreative"
And finally (this is going to get me flamed) any photo of a baby covered in its dinner. Seriously, that is cute ONLY to the parents. To everyone else, it puts us off our own dinner. Please stop.
