I blocked my first pregnant lady on FB today

Well, "new mom" I guess, since she just had the baby.  She's been annoying through out her entire pregnancy, but today she posted about the Push Present her DH had gotten her and that was the last straw.

It's not so much that she got a present, but the fact that she used the phrase "push present" in her post unironically is what signaled the end.  I abhor that phrase with a mighty passion, even more so than "preggo".

  • I've started blocking pregnant people and some moms. I just can't. And I'm not willing to stay of fb myself because of what they post. Blocking is a nice feature!
  • Ahhhhh blocking on FB is my new hobby.

  • I'm an equal opportunity blocker. Pregnants, moms, dumbasses, family, friends...you name it, they get blocked if I don't have positive reactions to their posts.

    That's the great thing about MY facebook. I can make it work for me.

  • One of my pregnant FB "friends" periodically writes "encouraging" things for her "friends that are having trouble having babies." It is horribly condescending and dumb. She also writes similar things for her "single friends who are lonely."

  • You all are too nice.  Forget blocking.  I just delete anyone that annoys me (pregnant or not).  FB is much more enjoyable for me this way.

    I actually do this too sometimes. And call me petty and immature, but sometimes I secretly hope they notice that I deleted them and realize how obnoxious they are. I'm sure that doesn't happen, but one can dream right?

    People who are obnoxious NEVER realize how obnoxious they are. Because they are so busy being obnoxious, they don't think about what they post and how it affects others.

    I am willing to bet she gets blocked a lot. She sounds terrible.
