On Facebook last night, I came across this:
Now, I would say that this is pretty risky. You’ve got to have serious iron bollocks to put something like this up. Which is probably why the person who posted it invited us to turn it around and to describe ourselves in one word, as they felt it is important to take time to think about our own attributes – a great sentiment. The trouble is, I was sitting there and all I could think of was: knackered, shattered, catatonic, pissed. Other people had written really lovely words about themselves: caring, loyal, kind..and the more I read these, the more negative my word became: irritable, unhelpful, telling the kids to make their own bloody tea (I know that technically this is more than one word, but I didn’t care).
Some posts on Facebook, I just don’t get. Like the one that does the rounds where people ask friends to share the post into their own page and comment with a word to show they’ve read it – or something like that! Why?! For a start, apparently only 12% of your Facebook friends see your posts. So I would say that it’s very dodgy ground writing someone off for not replying to one specifically. Yes, by all means write a friend off who has sex with your husband, or posts a picture of you naked from their Hen night in Lanzagrotty 20 years ago on Instagram, but not because of a poxy Facebook post.
I’ll leave you with a card that I have blu tacked to my kitchen door – because it says it all really!
Ps…please like this post and share it on your news feed and when you’ve done that, please comment on it with a word that best describes your feelings when you read it, so that I know that you really read it and didn’t just say that you read it, my friend 😜
Euphoric
Euphoric (that I don’t have FB)
ha! I am sooooo rock ‘n roll, too! What about those bloody FB fishing statements, like “Feeling annoyed”….or “why are some people so annoying?”…. drives me up the wall…almost grounds for automatic FB dismissal. Cheers #fartglitter
OMG!! Don’t even get me started on those: pissed off…what’s wrong hun? I’M ATTENTION SEEKING, THAT’S WHAT’S WRONG!!!
haha! I don’t have Facebook anymore, but when I did I had over 1000 ‘friends’ but in reality I have 5 lol – meet someone in the pub, bond for 5 mins over something shit, then add on Facebook and never talk again! Thats how it goes right?! 😉 #fartglitter
Totally!! Facebook really winds me up! I came off it a few years back, but went back on it when I started blogging in January. It does make me laugh though! Thank you for commenting 🙂
HA! So true! And I LOVE that card…I need one! I hate facebook and everything about it…yet somehow I still spend about 80% of my life aimlessly scrolling through it?!

Someone reminded me about those comments, such as: Not happy…
What a bloody wind up!! I’m only on Facebook for the blog – there are some dreadful things on it!
Thank you for commenting 🙂
Oh God yes! I hate those status updates, and the only word that springs to mind when I see them is “unfollow”. Bleuugggh! Love the card at the end. So very true!
Thanks for linking up with #fartglitter x
The card is a cracker…can’t even remember where I got it, but knew I had to have it!
That meme 🙂 LOVE it!!!
FB is a bit of a love-hate relationship for me, I love most things generally EXCEPT when rubbish (I was going to use the word wanky as I’ve had a few but thought better of it….) memes and challenges come out. Then the pillocks come to play. pfft. #fartglitter
Just say it…oh you did!!! We’re all thinking it anyway!!! Thanks for commenting
You can’t beat a bit of observational humour. Proper funny post 🙂 #fartglitter
Ha! Thank you Facebook is just bloody funny!
All those cut and paste statuses are annoying. Half of what I see on FB annoys me nowadays. There are people I used to like quite a bit, but now find myself disliking just based on their views of things that they keep sharing. Better off just keeping it to yourself sometimes. #fartglitter
That’s good advice! I posted something that someone obviously felt was controversial last week – it wasn’t – and I really wished I hadn’t bothered. I ended up deleting the post! Thanks for commenting
Please don’t burst my bubble! I really want to be popular but I can’t be bothered to get dressed #FartGlitter
Haha!!! 🙂
Ah this is so true! And isn’t it weird how we’ve got all those “friends” on Facebook but half of them we wouldn’t dare like or comment on their posts because we haven’t seen or spoken to them in years?! So then I think what’s the point of having them on Facebook? Nosiness, that’s what!! Sorry for the late read of your post, this is from last week’s #fartglitter…I really should spend less time on Facebook and more time on linkys, ha!!
Ha! Good point about the commenting on someone’s post and then realising you haven’t got a clue who they are. Thanks for commenting – don’t worry about being late – totally understand!
