question on FB ettiquette

[Rob Base 2.0]

so alledgedly ur supposed to "like" when ur true friends post photos and stuff on FB. which is a lot if pressure, but i do it anyways

however, "friend" is on beach vacay and posting photos of her teen daughter in bikini.

on the one hand if i dont "like" the photo i am a bad "friend"

on the other, if i "like" it, i might be a perv

talk about a no- win sitch

what to do?

its a conundrum.....

Do the "wow" emoji.  And make a comment about how her teen daughter looks so grown up in the photo.

Well....and yes....waiting for the flames. In my opinion it's in extremely bad taste - not to mention downright strange and possibly dangerous - for an adult to post a picture of their daughter in a bikini. So, I guess I would ignore the whole thing completely.

My job today is to rain on parades.

i would think sending a "poke" is more appropriate though?

Don't be poking her bikini clad teen.

Simply scroll past it without comment.  If your 'friend' gets mad because you didn't 'Like' the picture, they are not much of a 'friend'.

If your 'friend' asks you why you did not like the picture, just state you didn't see it.

I thought you were supposed to copy it and use it as wall paper on your office computer. Shows how little I know 😊

If she posted more then one pic you can comment on just one that is more appropriate not the entire album.

See?  Right again!

Do people notice if you don't like a picture?

FB etiquette?? Is there such a thing? Kinda like an honest politician- hard to define! And doesn't exist!!

Only if the Facebook users one is 'friends' with are 'Like Farming'.

I liked everybody's posts so nobody thinks I'm a non-liker.

I crossed a line that I try to never cross on FB the other day.  It was my DB's post about day 1 of his fishing tournament.   I had asked him for help with my mom's appt for the day before that, his excuse being this fishing tournament, that apparently didn't start until the following day anyhow!  Had to reschedule, squeezing her in next week,  inconveniencing the doc + any displaced patients, and my DH has to leave work early that day to get my kids to their swimming lessons, all so my DB could show up super early the day before this tournament taking place 1 hour away.  I didn't lay into my DB on FB, but I did comment about that.  I know that kind of stuff is uncomfortable for others, so I try never to do that, but I did this time.

I posted a picture of my daughter in a bikini. We were at the beach, having a good time. The weather was beautiful. My kids were diving in the surf. I took a picture. If you are so creepy you can't handle seeing a girl in a bikini, go ahead and unfriend me.

I'm one of those that really doesn't give a rat's ass whether you're supposed to do something or not. I like what I want, and ignore the rest. If that's not being a true friend, then I really don't care. Unfriend me.

[Bluerobin]

Go ahead, be a perv and like the photos!

OMG, I am so distraught over this that I'm gong out in the back yard and eat the worms out of the tequila bottles
