The things people write are INSANE.
Recent example: A family friend is getting divorced. She has posted pictures she made on Picnik of her wedding photos and edited tears and quotes about being abandoned all over them. The she posts them on Facebook. I feel terrible for her, but this is a total misuse of FB. And she is friends with all FOUR of her children on FB who are seeing these.
A friend from high school who announced her pregnancy the same day she got a BFP. With pictures of the pee stick. She and her H posed with it, and even made the cat pose with it. When she was pg with #2, she had her then 1yr old pose with the pee stick. And in one picture you can tell he is thisclose to putting it in his mouth.
And one of my personal favorites, DH's Aunt once posted as her status: "H's prostate exam went well today." Word for word (minus her H's name), that is the God's honest truth.
Anyone else?
Re: Facebook
Facebook is the ultimate AW forum. There's a reason I don't log on very often--I don't have enough patience for all the drivel.
Sadly, this also means I don't have any good stories to share.
wow.
I used to see updates like that, so I hid those people's updates. People are so inappropriate.
I don't think I even showed DH my pee stick. I just put a shirt on P that said, "I'm gonna be a big sister." and wrapped up a New Dad Survival Guide book for him to open and he got the message. It's not like he could look at a pee stick and figure out what the hell it meant. I mean, I had to re-check the directions myself a few times. Wait, what does 2 lines mean?! lol
I do not understand the pee stick photos. And I hope to god I never do.
My husband's friend and his wife split up a couple of years ago, but we didn't know for a while. My husband was FB friends with the wife, and we figured it out when we saw a profile picture of her smooching some other dude. Yeah, she didn't bother to defriend her about-to-be-ex-husband's friends before she posted them. There's a whole host of reasons why she's klassy with a K and a capital A*S, but that's one of them.
It just baffles me what some people find appropriate to post.
The 14 year old son of the person I talked about posted the picnik photos, he posts photos of himself smoking pot. On facebook. Children really need to be closely monitored on socially networking sites, and they needs to be taught basic lessons about ELECTRONIC RECORD.
Oh, and they shouldn't be smoking pot in the 8th grade. Or photographing it. So basically there's a lot of stupid going on there.
Okay so one "friend" just posted pix of her DH in a thong speedo flexing his muscles at some muscle show.
I do not want to see someone's DH in a thong speedo. I can't help but think, "oh honey. No one wants to see this except you."
It's groddy.
Perfect timing!
This was a status last night:
Well SOMEONE needs to tell you...you're a homewrecking whore and you look like an oversized garden gnome...you're welcome
