FB creeping

[RoxMonster]

So my phone just started blowing up and I looked to find that H's aunt (she is a little....different overall) liked about 30 photos--literally--that I posted on FB a year or more ago.

I mean, I FB creep on people from time to time, but I don't go liking their really old photos to let them KNOW I am FB creeping on them lol. Even though I do it to others, it's a little weird to realize someone is probably sitting there clicking through all of my FB albums. I'd rather not know when they are.

So, are you a FB creeper and do you let others know about your creeping by liking their really really old photos? Or do you find this odd, too?

It's not creeping if you're friends.

I don't think it's odd for an Old. I will sometimes like someone's older photos right after I friend them and I'm looking back through their stuff. And vice versa, sometimes I get notifications like that from new friends.

Ugh. Old people.

Huh. I think of creeping when it's someone I'm not friends with. Like, if I gleefully discover that someone's profile or albums are public and I can view them without having to friend them.

Not creepy, just old. My aunt comments on my old posts and pictures too. "Where was this?" on a picture from 2009. Sigh.

LOL, I was telling my FIL how to tag a few months ago and he started tagging himself in all of my photos. Photos he's not in and wasn't even with us when they were taken, ya know, just tagging himself because he can. Old people.

I guess I consider it "creeping" if I look through a FB friend's old albums for half an hour lol. But maybe that's not the right word. I just know if I accidentally "liked" a photo from months or years ago, I would feel a little embarrassed about it like they "caught" me digging through their FB page. I still do it lol.

Ha I do this too. At least if I'm not friends with them, there usually isn't an option to "like" their photos so I am sure that I don't accidentally click it.

You posted these on Facebook. That's a little odd if you're weirded out by people looking at them.

I don't mind if people see them. I've just never had someone like/comment on a photo I posted years ago before.

Awww, my aunt does this. She's in her 60's and I imagine she doesn't spend nearly as much time on FB as I do so she doesn't catch every pic. It doesn't bother me.

My family (aunts, mostly) do this often. The best is when they think we've moved or something because they come across an old album lol.

See, I had to unsubscribe from this aunt's feed because she was posting multiple times per day about essential oils, anti-vaxxing and other crap. I alluded to it in the OP but yeah, she's also a little BEC for me lol.

I can understand someone who doesn't log in often looking through old photos to "catch up" on what people are doing.

Ha I love that! Yeah, IG is even worse. I am constantly accidentally liking people's pics on there by scrolling. But then I don't want to "unlike" it in case they got the notification that I liked it and wonder why I unliked it later lol.
