[I don't watch soaps, so I'm with you Surrey Phil. And why not the British Documentary Awards, or the British Crime Drama Awards etc?]

[Or top British refuse collector, car mechanic or ledger controller? It’s always actors, musicians and sports “personalities” who seem to pat each other on the back and say “look how good we are”!]

"You do you." Shorthand for, "I'm an aggressive and not very bright woman, I have a keyboard, and I'm too thick/idle to use it to its full potential."

"If you don't repost this you love cancer/hate people with green skin/want the cute little tigers to be hunted to extinction."

Nope, I just don't repost stuff. Now, where's that "block this person" button?

Just as long as the people who post that shite know that I'm one of the ones who won't.

You know, because I'm not a Real Friend, and I want people to die of cancer, fluffy animals to be abused and dyslexic fruit flies

While I'm at it, I also think stupid cryptic posts based on your age and underwear colour to "raise awareness" is fucking stupid. Yes, let's raisee awareness by NOT TELLING THE MEN.

+1 for Vrap, NO & Carp's posts!

I was going to add another about posts which are meaningless to all but a select few (e.g. "I wonder why I bother!") - but tbh, it's Facebook generally.

Yep, agree completely with V’rap, NO & Carp. Saw a family member post one of these on the weekend, it was about cancer, but it made it sound like he was having chemo himself - queue much concern from worried friends and relatives. Ironic that the long post said that not everyone would read to the end, but he clearly hadn’t read it properly or would have realised it read as though he himself was ill.

People who manage to park in such a stupid way that one small car takes up the space that two medium sized ones could. Or who don't have a permit so don't park in the bays, but then double park next to an empty space blocking someone with a permit from parking at all. Compounded when it's out of permit hours anyway!
