Recently I had posted about an e-reader and asked for reviews/recommendations. A family member on my dh's side actually posted a long rant about how I should get a library card and introduce my children to books. It went on and on and was so upsetting to me that I deleted the entire thread and blocked him. Why do people feel the need to do things like that?

Yes, that!!!!! Especially when they are followed up with "It's a long story" or "it's complicated" or "I really shouldn't talk about it here."

OK so don't bring it up!

My DH and I were talking just a few days ago that we will probably be seeing more libraries going digital and physical books becoming the rare oddity. (Cue the scene from Wall-E)

All listed already plus the pictures and updates about the great party they went to with half their friends. Sucks to be in the half that wasn't included and has to see it. Even if I was included I still think it's in poor taste knowing full well there could be unnecessary hurt feelings. Keep those things private, imo.

Oh good so it's not just me LOL

I also hate the "had a great time at the _____ today with ______ " I always wonder DID you have a great time or do you just want everyone to know you have friends? LOL

Those are the worst! If it's so private, don't talk about it in a realtively public manner. People's inablity to keep private moments private is a big one with me. I have a friend who bitched and complained on FB for at least a month about how her MIL wanted to be in the delivery room for the birth of her second child and how my friend was pissed because it was a private moment that she wanted to share with just her DH. Fine, not a problem, I agree with her, but then, she goes and post pictures from the delivery on FB while she's still in the delivery room. Hello, if it's so private that it was worth causing family drama, why are you bringing the rest of us into the delivery room with you. Besides I don't want to see pictures of your uncleaned up, naked baby.

I don't like the mass "if you're proud to be a mom change your status update to..."

I don't like woe is me posts or brag posts when they constantly come from the same people. HATE anything that's a materialistic/financial brag.

I disabled super-political people from my feed, that's how much I can't stand that!!
