Radio on-air requests [and some Facebook behaviour] ... they are so pathetic

[Uncle Spielberg]

Its a bit silly, isn't it. Not as silly as sending facebook messages to your DOG, though.

It is not to my Dog it is about my Dog. You may find it silly but he is part of my life, a big part and I share that joy with my facebook friends. Is this ok with you ?

Other people's attention seeking Wedding Anniversary posts "4 years ago today I married the most beautiful Man/Woman on the planet, I'm so lucky blah blah blah" I know, 4 years ago we all had to pay for the stag do, the wedding gifts, the suits, the booze, the hotels, the taxi back form the middle of bloody nowhere you held your reception. I have no desire to go through that ****ing circus again thanks.


I don't get celebrating other people's anniversarys.

I don't think they expect you to celebrate, they just want to let you know how "happy" they are. My view is if people have to make these ostentatious displays then they are insecure about the relationship. It's pathetic, if your woman is really impressed by that nonsense, you are with an amoeba and everyone talks about how weird you are behind your back.

Oooh this is a good thread. My favourites are as folllows:

• "Sum ppl need to get a lyf."
• "It's times like dis that you kno who ur real friends r."
• "Happy Birthday to my 1 year-old child who cannot use a computer. Love you bubba"
  
• "Happy Birthday to your 1 year-old baby who cannot use a computer. Love Me, My Wife and my Dog xx"
• "Look at me! I'm travelling somewhere hot on a beach having the time of my life!! How's England?"
• "Share this photo of a dead baby to cure cancer"
• Photos with quotes scrawled across them Eg. A sunset with "Live for today for tomorrow is a boat full of promise"
• Screenshots of text message conversations.
• Screenshots of photos taken on ios with black borders at the top and bottom
• Screenshots of made up autocorrect "mistakes" which people think are real. "Hi Mom, wanna suck my cock?... Woooah! I meant to say "What time is dinner?" damn autocorrect!!!1111!!"
  
• Daily Mail articles

Your first 2 are my pet hates. Attention seeking garbage dedicated to some anonynmous figure of hate, who a) clearly couldn't give a f*ck & b) is obviously best being away from a needy, insecure borderline narcissist.

It's a pumpkin carving dick measuring contest all week this week. Some good, some bad. All pointless.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

You are true about facebook in that probably only around 5% of your "friends " actually give a Rat's arse. Maybe 2%.

Er, ok then.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Er, ok then.

What makes you think that was aimed at you? I really don't understand.

 

[Easy 10]

Ahh...I see the Friday binfest is brewing.

Have I got time to get a coffee ?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Not for me. I am off to town soon.

Reading this thread while eating my AMAZING own-recipe veggie curry. NOM NOM!

I hate it when people say Nom Nom...There's no such word and shows that your manners are crap when you eat.

What the HELL are you talking about? Along with the six billion other people in this world who are not my ACTUAL friends, you are not amongst my facebook 'friends'. Thus I have no access to what you put on your FB, nor do I wish to. Given that its almost certainly an extension of the self-pitying drivel you post on here, I doubt I'm missing much.

I don't give two shits what you write, to or about, your sodding dog, on Facebook. I don't actually care whether or not you have a bloody dog.

I think we've covered this before, but once again, just for clarity, ITS. NOT. ALL. ABOUT. YOU.

US in unnecessarily-becoming-offended-at-something-not-aimed-at-him shocker

Yes. This.

If you de-friend people on Facebook are they immediately advised? Or do they only find out if they go to look at their list of "friends" and find that you're missing?

They just disappear from the list and only find out if they look at their list or try and access your profile page. However, I think there are some programs which tell you who has gone.

Can we add those shitty mass-shared photos which say something like "OMG this is the scariest pic EVER!!!!!! Type F1 an' wait 2 see what happens!!!".

Followed by three hundred thousand utter GIBBONS furiously typing "F1" in the comments box & then realising what idiots they look.

This thread is amazing. Top work all involved. Definitely my biggest FB peeve is the 'ambiguous statement' tactic when something crap has happened, inviting a load of sympathy. PISS. OFF.

On the radio phone in - I don't listen to the radio much, but I made the mistake of listening to 10 minutes of 6-0-6 the other weekend. It's a pale imitation of the last time I listened to it, and it was crap then. The bit I heard (about the FA Commission) was full of people sucking off Ian Wright or alternatively making hilarious stereotypes, all with a massive dollop of self-importance (as if their view actually mattered).

I don't know, that sounds like a good idea to me. I'm tempted to post it and then delete every single person that comments.

What about the picture with the caption:

"This old lady has contributed taxes all her life, and now has to live on 10p a day. This Polish family collect £40,000 in benefits. Most people aren't brave enough to share this, are you to 1% that love your country?"

This is probably the most annoying thing, how can people so stupid even work out how to turn a computer on?

I agree with all of that, apart from the use of the word Gibbons. They are highly intelligent creatures.

And lets not even get STARTED on the "inspirational messages", invariably printed in an itallic font, across a moody photo of some footprints in the sand on a remote beach. OK, I will.

"Share this status if your child means more to you than anything in the entire world, if you would give your dying breath just to see a flicker of their smile, if you would crawl a million miles over bits of Lego just to scrape dried marmite off their elbow, if you would lick piss off a nettle just to hold their coat in a queue for the toilet at McDonalds, if you would ram your own face into a threshing machine just to hear them tell you they think they've fcked up your Ipad...share this status..."

I tell you, those shite sentimental ones attract 'likes' from all the fcknuggets like flies to a steaming great turd.

I hope you don't mind if i post that on facebook, you are a wordsmith, who needs an audience!
