[quote=Anonymous]Np. So I have a mildly annoying fb friend who just pushed it over the edge....

Wife of foreign service, kids in tow, international living in various cities. Again, already mildly annoying. I see they're moving again from one too destination to another. The first day I see a hashtag indicating 30 days left... I think "uh oh. Is this going to be a daily post? 30 times?" Yep. I think we are on day 3, folks. .

Yes I will be unfollowing.

But all I want to say is... if the posts were more humble I could stomach it. Like, "look at this neat friend we've made here. She is the best." Or "I am so humbled to have been here during X event." Then focus on something outside yourself.   No, it's like "we've been here for THREE different springs! I love the food, can't get this anywhere else. We just found it so mundane but now I appreciate it for being really cool." The whole attitude reeks.

This stuff comes up more because of the D.C. Connection. Why I moved away. I can't stand a lot of people humble bragging, or straight bragging, about experiences that, frankly, you AND your next door neighbor of get through government! Not that unique. OR experiences that corporate friends have to pay through the nose for. No sensitivity. I grew up with a dad with lots of these amazing (gov-related) experiences, but I feel like we kept it as a family treasure, didn't need to be talking about how cool he was when he was with friends.
