The problem with FaceAche is that there are too many odd people who take it all really really seriously, and too many people who seem to spend their time putting stuff up just to get a nice warm feeling when all their 'friends' 'like' their posts (and get massively offended if they don't get enough 'likes', or certain people don't comment).

My wife and I have a shared Facebook account. Well, I say 'shared'. I never use it, and have no interest in it whatsoever. I just talk to my actual real friends by phone and even (unbelievably) face-to-face.

However, looking at what HRHs 'friends' put on Facebook, most of it seems to be links to "things I found in the internet that I think are funny/thought-provoking/interesting" (YouTube, pictures with superimposed soundbites etc) that they then expect everyone to 'like', thus justifying their humour/music preference/etc ... there are very rarely any original thoughts from their own brains, just an endless copy-&-paste exercise.

Oh, and pictures people holding drinks at parties.

No facebook page is complete without many many pictures of people holding drinks at parties.

I suspect Facebook would be ideal viewing for people who suffer from insomnia.

My step son pathologically "likes" everything his OH puts on facebook, even if she's making thinly veiled digs at him!
Mind you he is 30 in a couple of weeks. 🙄

Did she actually post it to "YOUR" wall.

Or did she give it as an update therefore appearing on your feed.

If she posted it to your wall then fair enough, your a fairly harsh bloke who likes to take the p**s she should know that and expect an ironic response.

If she gave it as an update it probably wasnt aimed at you. yes annoying but you just need to block her from your message feed.

In real life if you over heard her talking to your wife/friends you wont immediately take the p**s you'd stay out of the conversion. This is similar.

facebook is only rubbish if you have rubbish friends.

if everyone else seems to be enjoying their interractions with each other and you're sitting there thinking, what a load of old rubbish... feeling like the odd one out, then chances are you're the boring friend 😉

anyway, i best go 'like' some of deadlydarcy's dog photos

Perhaps you should message the friend and apologise to her profusely?

Spam her with unending pictures of your children, dog or status of your favourite sports team.

....and youtube videos of your favourite pop songs.

Someone I know constantly posts pictures of butterflys with some text along the lines of "we are free to fly at birth, remember who you are and blah blah blah", which translates as "I am..."

1. Mental
2. Fat
3. Have issues
4. All of the above.

just ignore

Also, utter bollocks as we're incontinent, next to useless and can't even hold our own necks up at birth, so don't see many babies flying anywhere soon....

Sometimes STW dissappoints.

Usually by now some odd person has come along and berated us all for being immature and referring to Facebook as 'Faceache'.

😀

Also, if using Twitter is 'Tweeting', what's the euqivalent for Facebook?

Butterflies can't fly at birth either, they just wiggle along eating plants and avoiding grub-eating birds. They can't even fly when they emerge from the chrysalis as their wings have to unfold and get their circulation going.

I thought they ate chocolate cake, ice-cream, a pickle, Swiss cheese, salami, a lollipop, a cherry pie, a single sausage, a cupcake and a whole slice of watermelon?

All interesting comments, thanks for your time. I've decided to just not bother with the site anymore.

No one should take FB too seriously

For me its a good way for sharing holiday pics and the occasional witticism about current affairs.

In the west of scotland its also the ideal portal for people to spout thin veiled bigotry in the guise of football banter.

Personally just ignore the bits i don't like
