How about someone posting about their bank account being hacked and posting the crazy amount of $$ that was taken?

And then as a response to one of the comments, posting a pic of her wine glass on the counter in front of her LV purse?

Humble bragging is so obvious. At least one of the comments to this post was somebody asking "humble brag?".

Don't worry, nobody think you have an original Eames chair, since they're around $10k (who the hell would let a puppy on that?). We all know it's a Chinese knock off for $700.



Ouch !

Hahaha oh NO. CRINGE. That right there is bragging of the pathetic and desperate variety...


Lol. I had a friend who made a similar post but as icing on the cake she tied it in to her current MLM hawking... "bartender carded me when I stopped in to the wine bar and had a glass after dropping the kids off at a swim class today! My #rodanandfields must be working overtime!"

My inner voice wanted to reply to her "no, he just smelled the promise of a good tip by subtly complimenting the tired-looking 30something who was probably one of the only customers on a very slow lunch shift."


Hahahahaha

No way girl. It's that #rodanandfields #fabatanyage #lovetheskinyourein #fabmomma #flattered

Exactly! There have been so many threads lately about Facebook and what drives people crazy about it, so why stay? I got off and I am so much happier, no more wasting time on all this silly stuff.


This. I enjoy FB because my friends and relatives live all over the world, and it is fun to see their posts and pics. If it is not an enjoyable experience for you, then don't use it, or start unfriending or unfollowing people who annoy you. No one is forcing you to use FB.

I agree with op. I understand if every now and then a possession is unintentionally included in a photo, but I know a girl who does the whole 'accidentally on purpose' thing a little to much for me to not think she's just showing off. Everything she does is a strategic move to show off/brag. She lives out her entire life story via fb, nothing is private or sacred. Fb is her reality show

I think you're just noticing too much shit in the background of photos if I'm being honest.

We got a Christmas card a few years ago with about nine numbered pictures in the front. The back had the 'legend':
#1: skiing in vail!
#2: celebrating john's promotion to VP
#3: larlo winning MVP
#4: family cruise to the Mediterranean

Uh.....stfu.

This reminds me of the Christmas card we got one year of the kids in front of the tree with multiple Tiffany and Chanel bags strategically placed around.

Better yet OP: delete your life. You can't handle having friends. Problem solved.

Come on. You know what I mean. You don't need to take a pic of the kid and post it RIGHT IN FRONT of the Mercedes emblem.
