The worst one I have seen is a girl updating her FB during labor. And I mean during her time in the hospital -.-

the best thing you can do is be 'friends' with people you dont want to share anything with

that keeps you from posting anything and everything

A girl's dad died last week and she immediately made 10 posts along the lines of "I FUCKING MISS YOU DADDY "

I felt the same way as the OP.

It's a play to get attention/sympathy.

I like the fishing techniques that refer to some unreferenced tragedy.

"It was so terrible, nothing will be the same ever again."

And then you just sit back and wait for the "What's going on?" "What happened" etc. posts to roll in.

Apparently she did... she was even posting after getting an epidural. And when someone made a comment like congrats or whatever, she responded with, "She's coming now"

One of my old friends from HS did this, I totally rofled.

It said "in labor"

the next thing a few hours later was a pic of the baby

8/11/2011 10:26:36 AM

In all fairness.... some ladies are sitting there in labor for 12+ hours without all the intensity that the movies show you. Just hanging out, watching tv and playing on the phone.

Waiting for the alien to come out...

8/11/2011 10:29:29 AM

^^^ My friend showed me that yesterday. I couldn't believe it. I'm also confused what she means by she didn't wait six weeks. Six weeks after having a baby? Because I would be super pissed if I were the husband if that's the case

8/11/2011 10:35:38 AM

I will never understand the labor posting. I did everything in my power to make sure none of our labor progress was on fb. Making it perfectly clear to family and friends that knew we were in labor to do the same ...bc shit CAN happen.

8/11/2011 10:38:22 AM

Oh wow...is that pregnant before 6 weeks fake? I wonder why someone would update facebook before telling the dad? Idiots much?

8/11/2011 10:39:16 AM

Guessing from their grammar, I'm going to go with idiot high school dropout.

8/11/2011 10:40:28 AM

^4 you're supposed to wait 6 weeks after having a baby before having sex again. mostly so all the trauma on the inside can subside but i have a lot of friends who got preggo RIGHT after having a child so i think it's also because you're super fertile then too. i dont know - maybe someone can clarify

8/11/2011 10:41:35 AM

That's nuts. I guess that's where Irish twins come from

I thought if you were breastfeeding though that that helped limit your ability to get pregnant after having a baby.

Okay I looked it up and apparently it does, but the comments on this article are blowing my mind http://www.babycenter.com/404_can-i-get-pregnant-while-breastfeeding_7093.bc?startIndex=20&questionId=7093

"O you sure can! I never even got a period and suddenly one day I woke up and was four months pregnant... and my first was 6 and a half months. So I have her first birthday coming up and then almost three weeks later her sister!"

"I definitely know that it is possible! My third child was conceived while I was nursing my second (he was only five months old at the time). My fourth was conceived while I was still nursing the third, and I had an IUD in as well (although the IUD had slipped out of my uterus into my cervix)! I now have four children under five years old!"

I can overtop every post in this thread.


A different friend of mine from HS posted that she had miscarried very far along. (that was sad, but I understand..everyone knew she was pregnant she probably did not want them asking about the baby)

The next post was something I still find disturbing when I think about it.

She posted a picture of the dead baby. The image is burned in to my memory.

Facebook says I've blocked 32 people and 162 apps from the news feed. Really thought it would be more than that.

Lately I've just started unfriending people wholesale. Like the girl who sits at home all day and posts 15 pictures of her stupid fucking kid and updates every time he takes a shit or eats a sandwich.

I, too, have my opinions about facebook and the internet

8/11/2011 9:42:52 PM

there's a girl i went to HS with that constantly complains about the deadbeat father of her third child, depressed her father complains about her and complains about how her ex husband (and father of her other two kids) died of a drug overdose.

the other day she was complaining about having to buy dollar store diapers - but then bitching about how they don't carry them.

it's so dumb but entertaining at the same time.

8/11/2011 9:44:45 PM

Perhaps the dumbest person I know, on the face of the planet. She is the epitome of attention whore with some super psycho issues. FACEBOOK IS NOT A BLOG. She posts notes like this on a current basis.......

Quote :

"Feeling the need to vent a little......I am not mentioning any names within this, but if anyone reading this has ideas who I am talking about please don't reply using names, ok? I am, and have always been, an overly emotional person---to a fault. Sometimes its a good thing but more often then not its a problem...a big one. I tend to care and trust people far too quickly...this has gotten me burned faster then anything.....and over and over and over again at that... Everyone knows that my husband and I seperated in May, but we have decided to try reconciling one more time....Hopefully we can bring back the way things were years ago...before I fell apart, and before we fell apart. There are so many wounds, that need time to heal....hopefully we can achieve this. Since 2006 when my mother passed away I have slowly but surely slipped away...I lost track of who I was...I stopped caring about pretty much everything....When I had to lose my job at the Cat Hospital I really went downhill....I started doing things that were WAY out of my character....I became a totally different person....Almost like the happy-go-lucky ____ disappeared and this darker ugly ____ appeared.....a very scary thought. 2009 was probably the worst year of my life. I did some pretty stupid things....over and over again...I let myself be sucked into a world that was, for lack of better words, toxic. I lashed out, I hurt the ones who loved me the most, and at the time I just didn't care. I won't lie, during that time, I loved my children but I wasn't a very good mom to them. I was so consumed with my own depressions and lost in my own mind....I lost focus on what was right and what was wrong.... Shilo saved me from that. When I found out I was pregnant with her it was a MAJOR shock...she survived so much to stay inside me....Without knowing in early pregnancy, I was drinking....then I got pneumonia and was sick--had 2 CT scans and 3-4 chest xrays....But she survived.....My pregnancy with her was ROUGH, I was constantly sick, and towards then end I was barely able to get out of bed. I don't know what I would've done without my husband at that point...He could've and probably should've said "fuck you ___" and walked out the door....But he didn't.....and on JUne 1, 2010 God blessed me with the most beautiful baby in the world....all 11lbs 10oz of her! As that Martina McBride song says "she was sent to rescue me"...and I firmly believe that. In July 2010, Shilo fell deathly ill.....all I could do is blame myself. I thought that God was punishing me for all the wicked things I had done. That he had given me this baby girl just to take her away from me...or put me in my place. I think that is partially why I couldn't leave her that entire month she was a Duke....Thank the lord she recovered and she is the beautiful healthy happy girl that she is..... But I recently I have felt like I was slipping again...I started pulling away from people again...and almost deliberately hurting the ones who probably cared for most. I totally damaged my relationship with me best friend. She will likely never look at me the same again. And that sucks, because she REALLY knows me, and my feelings....I cant get that back... So a few months ago I became friends with a guy, a distant family member of my husbands..We communicated by email, texts and an occassional phone call.....He let me vent on him, share my secrets, thoughts, fears and dreams with.....I let my guard down, and felt comfortable enough to share with him my entire life-story...stuff I had not really ever told anyone about....not my best friend, not my husband...And he let me in on some of the horrible stuff going on in his own family.....It felt sooo good just to have someone to talk to...someone who wouldn't judge, one who would just listen day or night....anytime I thought I was falling apart....It really became a crutch for me.....And well, over the weekend that crumbled away..Its hard to explain why without going into detail (and by giving those details I would be making waves in his life) But I am quite devastated by it My husband has been really good to me the last few days---as I have been an emotional wreck...Hell I couldn't get thru the damn Daytime Emmys last night without crying--songs that were sung got me and I bawled and bawled. This experience has left me very cold....I really believe that I will never trust another human being as long as I live. I have been thrown away in the trash like some dirty diaper...and that is not a good feeling at all......I will miss my friendship with him always, and as stupid as it sounds I would let him right back in....thats just the type of person I am.....There is just a huge void there now....and the reasons he decided not to be in my life anymore are very SELFISH---and the vengeful part of me wants to just run off at the mouth and ruin his life the way it feels like he has ruined me. Future plans.....God, its hard for me to think of tomorrow let alone long term plans. I am hopeful that things will stay good with ____ and I....that we can try and move on from such a dark place......Perhaps a trip away, just he and I will help....and then I can go back to school in the fall and put my focus into that...I dunno...... I have my eyes wide open....I know who my true friends are now, and I promise to do my best not to lose sight of that. And not cling to those who only do me harm.....Ive got a LONG road ahead of me....and I am going to need alot of help to keep from sliding right back into the darkness...... Well, I have rambled enough this morning....thanks for reading....and I hope that gives you all a little insight to my messed up thoughts and life......"

My mother found out about her mother's death on Facebook because the rest of the family couldn't be bothered to call her before they rushed to post it.

SERIOUSLY????????

no. i would cut a bitch.

8/11/2011 10:34:47 PM

For some reason I don't mind as much when it's pet updates though I have one friend that the only thing she posts about is her cat. Like if you didn't know her cat's name you'd think it's her kid.

^^ we didn't find out about my great-grandfather's death until a month after the funeral. My grandmother assumed we wouldn't want to make the drive up to Cape Cod
