there have been a bunch of posts about FB bragging, so I decided to see if my FB friends are doing it.
1. Thick fog this morning 2. Vacation pic from Negril. Yup, there's one. 3. Upcoming DA race 4. College team update 5. Local politics 6. Kid going into military 7. Pinterest funny story 8. TV 9. Shazam 10. Deceased Gramma's birthday 11. Come on Friday 12. politics 13. restaurant daily specials 14. local service club update 15. Happy birthday to my kid 16. Funny misspelling from newspaper 17. kid picture 18. school house rock and the shutdown 19. I'm sick 20. Kid picture
Do I have non braggy friends?

except that #2 there, yeah. although I can't really judge much, with the beach shots from the weekend and various airport check-ins so family knows I'm still on track to get home on time.

I guess so!
I also don't identify with people's complaints about their FB pages.
Coming here was the first I'd heard about that food stamp SANFU.

#12: politics - I've had to 'unfriend' several people because of political comments. My friends list is less than 50 and most of those post very seldom and nothing political.

I friended lots of people I don't know to play games so see lots of stuff I don't care about. I don't notice may vacations, usually a new grandchild or complaining about people not treating them right. Those that do random friends don't do that to friends without saying what happened seem like sad losers. I don't check my feed but maybe once a week in case someone I actually know has something interesting posted. The vacations don't bother me at all, some are living in parents basement or parents paying and or may have saved a year to go. Some it could be the first vacation in 25 years and be a dream come true. I think most vacations are cheap and people go into debt for them or someone else pays. One mother of 6 niece and her BFF another mother of 6 went to Disney without spouses or children. They probably drove to Disney world, stayed as cheap as they could and didn't do extras they live in Tennessee. I bet it was her first vacation for just fun. She came without family for mom's illness but I don't think they vacation all the time.
I haven't had a real vacation in 29 years, just camping trips so if I post about one nobody should really think it is common. Going someplace that seems exotic like Bahamas may be a cheap trip if you live in Florida.

my feed can be kind of braggy.... 1. a friend pimping out her car via the new car-sharing service Lyft 2. a post-race family pic from a hockey teammate, she and her sisters did a half-marathon this weekend 3. new music post/link 4. someone booked their flights for the Feb trip 5. Tony Lucca announcing a new festival lineup he's going to be a part of 6. a SAHD posted a goofy pic of his toddler w/a produce sticker on her forehead 7. casual jewelry gift pic 8. event advertising from the business account of a friend 9. more new music 10. pics of a new mural for a friend's baby's room I'd say 50/50 there.

I don't really find vacation posts braggy- of course I travel and so do quite a lot of my friends. I enjoy beautiful vacation photos... in fact, it bugs me when close friends don't post photos while traveling. I'm nosy! I want to see what's going on! show me something pretty my feed is boring-ish today: 1. friend bought concert tickets 2. sephora has a new eyeshadow palette 3. a soldier I sponsored during her last deployment complaining about her base 4. a pic of someone feeding a baby 5. a friend's hockey blog link 6. some beautiful shots of hawaii from a friend who's moving back to the mainland 7. George Takei 8. Barkbox sharing a post about a pet artist 9. me whining about having a cold 10. a bunch of Likes and comments by friends on random things that have nothing to do with anything I follow on FB. There used to be an option to not have your friends' "likes and comments" show up in your feed.... where did that go?!?!

I did the opposite...I had one person that posted non-stop political stuff (and in a very judgmental "all of you on the right are clearly morons" kind of way)...I kept replying and arguing with her until she finally unfriended me!lol I don't usually talk politics to friends and certainly never argue politics but she just irritated the shit out of me...instead of just unfriending her I decided to have fun with her

My favorite is the "can't wait to leave for xxx place in 2 days! A week off!"
Ok, I know whose house to break into now!!!! Seriously? Do not advertise on social media when you will be out of town!

You people need to start unfriending those worst assholes of all: the ones who post pictures of scary clowns. Which fyi - is all clowns.
oops, to be fair, I posted one awhile back to torture a couple of the girls here. In retrospect, I may have deserved an unfriending. Or an ass-kicking.

- I've got 2 friends constantly posting pics of their grandsons, - one newly retired friend posts lots of pics of the view at her new place and the walks and stuff she takes when the rest of us are working, - a few friends are posting family pics from 20 and 30 years ago, - my cousin's wife posted a pic of her new car with discussion about my cousin only getting to wax it for her, - another male friend posting updates of how well he is doing working through his separation (I don't think he really is doing well but we give him encouragement) - another friend has booked her vegas trip for Feb - another friend has pics horseback riding on the weekend
We are a braggy bunch. And we have the nerve to congratulate each other!
