My Mom is the most annoying person on Facebook ever

[Anonymous]

I love my Mom. We have a good relationship but I want to block her on Facebook. She constantly posts inane things, quizzes (if you were a fruit, what fruit would you be), games, way out there political stuff, comments on everything I ever put up. Now she has embraced throw back thursday and is scanning old pictures of me and my siblings (and our friends) and posting them. She must be stopped.

Untag yourself, ASAP!

How sweet.

I'm sorry. At the very least, can you ask her to not post any pictures of you, old or new, for privacy reasons? The older generation is still working out the novelty of social networking and her fb friends who are her age are probably doing the same thing.

My mother also comments on every post I make with what she thinks is a funny (but it isn't) joke, but she only checks every couple of weeks so she winds up forcing my old posts to the top of the timeline with her embarrassing comments. I cringe but bear it. I know you have it much worse.

Untag yourself, and hide her so you don't have to see her quiz shit.

Change your settings so she can't tag you in pics and hide her from your feed.

FWIW, my MIL is more annoying -- every time I post a picture of my child, she comments in all caps things like, "LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY BABY IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!" and "I MISS MY BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (who she saw on Saturday.)

I want to reply, "*Your* baby is not in this picture - he's currently on the toilet. And please stop shouting."

I'm not that much of an a-hole in real life but I want to be.

+1, except my Mom thinks she's a social networking guru, so there's no way to gently explain to her any sort of etiquette. And she has friended all my friends. *sigh*

My Mom passed away last year. I would do anything to see her stupid Farmville posts again.

Ha ha. The all caps is what makes it even funnier, along with the over use of exclamation points.

I am not wishing her dead, mind you.

MIL knows a little more than FIL, and that is not saying much, so she considers herself an expert. Yeah, in your circle of 70-year-olds you're a real I.T. professional.

You are not alone OP!!!

Your mother cannot be the most annoying FB user ever since mine is. She comments on every single thing; I'm convinced she's on FB all day. Even worse, I now see that she's commenting on celebrities (and I use that word loosely) posts. It makes me cringe.
