Annoying things people write on Facebook

I've had an amazing day. I posted a pic of my Dad and me on Facebook late last night and I'm overwhelmed by all the positive comments and love for him nearly 20 years since he passed.
Facebook might be full of crap a lot of the time but sometimes it just makes my day!

I have mixed feelings about this. I have been known to get annoyed by the Happy Heavenly Birthday type posts, usually to a gran who never had Facebook etc. But when my mum died in August 2019, when looking through her stuff, I came across an amazing photo of her, my dad and me when I was about 3 years old.  She'd worked with a woman who did  photography on the side, and arranged for her to come over the house and take some pics. It was our old house, Pure early 1980s,and my mum looked glamorous as anything. 

I ended up just taking a picture of it and changing my profile pic to that, and the comments and conversations it sparked from old friends and relatives was one of the only bright spots in an otherwise extremely grim time. I suppose it was also a way of letting people know who I'd want to know but I wasn't really close enough to to call, or didn't feel up for calling, although I didn't think like that at the time. 

Maybe I'm a total hypocrite, or just need to be a bit less cyncical at times, but I totally get where you're coming from mate.

It definitely is incredibly uplifting if you're feeling about low, in the same way that nice anecdotes and comments about the deceased at a funeral can help immensely.  So long as its only occasionally, it's fine.

What rips everybody's knitting is the people who go fishing for compliments on a weekly/daily basis, they need fired into the sun.

This annoys me no end. Firstly, why does this need to be on Facebook, can't you tell her in person?

Secondly, the use of 'are' is bad enough without managing to even misspell that.

Anyone who wishes someone they live with, or will see face to face that day, a happy birthday/anniversary or whatever, on social media,  isn't doing it for that person, they're doing it so that their SM contacts will react.

Also, they're morons.

Contender for original source of "and the whole place applauded"

Wifie in the post office used to let us help ourselves to 10p mixups. Not sure if it’s possible to overdose on fried eggs and flying saucers, cola bottles but we must have been close.

edit there was no applause, just guilt

Just came across this thread. 

Maybe been mentioned before but what bugs me probably the most is when people feel the need to announce that they’re deleting their Facebook. What makes is worse is 2 hours later they’re still posting on Facebook and haven’t deleted it. Cry for attention!

Also annoyed by people referring to "deleting" Facebook.

You're not deleting Facebook, you're closing your account. Facebook will exist without you, everything you've ever typed, clicked on, or linked to is still available to be analysed by market researchers, and any pictures you've uploaded will be sold for advertising purposes in the decades to come.

Thank you for your contribution.

Well no. You can delete your account. 
 

ETA - I never said “you’re deleting Facebook.” I said deleting their Facebook account. Which is an option when you go on to Facebook and either deactivate or delete it. 
 

Thanks for your contribution though.
