Why oh why

Would a woman who is 7 months pregnant post a FB status that says she just got really sad news and that life is unfair - in the early morning. And then not come back and comment again the rest of the day despite a bunch of comments asking what's wrong? Now I'm super worried about her and whether the baby's okay. 

I friggen hate cryptic FB statuses. If you got news that you're not ready to share with the world - don't mention it at all. We have another friend that does this constantly, posting things like "life-changing day today!" without ever elaborating.

Sorry, just needed to vent.

Re: Why oh why

  • Its called Vague-Booking. SO irritating!!
  • Agreed!  I cannot stand cryptic facebook messages, I mean, what's the point of posting unless you are just craving attention.

    On another note, I hope everything is okay with her and her baby!

  • Oh man, I hate that too!!!!!  It's just a plea for attention so that everyone will comment "what's wrong?".  So annoying.  I hope everything's okay anyway.

    This! I have had to suggest to my stepson that he is careful when putting stuff up since he has done a few of those attention getting statements. I will never comment on those statuses. If it's someone important to me I'll call them to see how they are. Hope everything's ok!

  • Ugh, so annoying!  I never comment on those.

     I do hope that she is ok though.

  • This is definitely on my top 5 pet peeves of all time list. It makes my blood boil I swear --- if something really is wrong then facebook isn't the place to announce it before you've told your friends and family (IMO), and if nothing is wrong and you just had a bad day then that's just begging for attention which is gross.

    I do hope your friend and baby are okay!

  • I HATE this too!  I have friends that do it.  Agreed that it is just an attention seeking posting.  FB should come up with some sort of screener that when you try to post something like that a pop-up comes up and says "sorry, we are unable to post your status due to vagueness!"

    Ditto. I refuse to post for these, because 9/10 times its nothing that bad or "oh its all better now". I do hope that everything is okay with her though.

  • It turns out that she has a friend that just entered hospice care. Which, of course, is really sad - but, way to give your entire friends list a heart attack by letting the whole day go by without giving specifics.

    Yeah, I never reply to the vaguebooking statuses either. Definitely my biggest FB pet peeve, along with the people who update 10 times a day and post new pictures of their (school-aged) child every minute.
