A Gripe

I'm going to gripe. Just for a minute. If you don't want to hear it, then switch to another page. If, on the other hand, you are on board to listen to my diatribe, please read on.


Today's grievance is... ANNOYING FACEBOOK POSTS.

You know the ones. Here are some that top my "please pierce my eyes out with skewers than make me read them" posts.

"Made homemade cinnamon rolls AGAIN for my kids. Guess I'm just a creature of habit." Gag. I get that you are trying to convince people that you are Mother of the Year, or you know what, maybe you are, but please, my kids are sitting here picking the marshmallows out of the Lucky Charms box and are completely happy. Plus- the Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls from the can are seriously delicious. So save yourself the flour.

"Woohoo! I'm back down to my high school weight! Love the gym!" Double gag. I can't speak for everyone (obviously- though I try), but I know I don't give two shakes about how much you weigh. And seriously stop bragging about loving the gym. The gym sucks, we all know it.

"Having a bad day" PLEASE- just come out and say WHY you are having a bad day. It's obvious you want people to ask- so just spit it out!

Any random song lyric. No one thinks you're cool because you can quote the Rolling Stones.

"My husband is cheating on me". Uhhhh... TMI.

And perhaps the MOST annoying facebook status... Updating the world with EVERYTHING YOU DO! Examples: "Just got home from work." "What to eat for dinner." "Gonna watch some TV now." "Sleepy now, gonna go to bed." Really. We don't need to know EVERYTHING.

Whew. I feel better. Just had to get that off my chest!

The other ones that makes me fume are the posts with RANDOM capitalizations. Words THAT would seriously not NEED to be CAPITALIZED, and that THERE is no apparent LOGIC behind capitalizing.

Also, agree to all of these.

The other one that really toasts me is when people say they're back into their pre-pregnancy pants two days/weeks after giving birth. I have neither been pregnant nor had a baby, but really? Just stop your bragging.
