FB pet peeve

[Deleted]

I'm tipsy and scrolling through fb.

Why do people keep putting random phrases over pictures of minions? There's at least 6 of these on my wall right now. Stop this, people. Stop it.

Update: I tried to post an example but I am secretly 90 and can't figure out how to do it in Chrome on an Android phone.

And yes, they are the worst.

Aaah. Why is this a thing!?

[josieposy]

The minion memes are blech.


And why can't FB just let chronological feed viewing be the default?!! Jerks.

I can't decide if this is a step up or down from attributing insipid, self-congratulatory quotes in handwriting script to Marilyn Monroe and Maya Angelou.

This one is a particularly good example because it illustrates another thing that drives me nuts. Random capitalization. Why does survive have a capital S?

I see all of this from some of the older crowd at work. They seem so normal in the office but fb? All bets are off. They're just clicking buttons and sharing minions and Capitalizing random Words until I block them.

I haven't seen the minion movie, but WTF does any of that have to do with those guys? Is that movie terrible or something?

[ChillyMcFreeze]

My MIL lives for these. She's the worst kind of FB user.

Inspirational minions ruin my day.

Nothing. It has nothing to do with them. The minions speak gibberish. They're not even funny in the movies (imo - maybe that's flameful).

Once again, I am thankful that my FB feed, which includes many people from this board, is comprised primarily of non-assholes.

[lahoagie]

YES!!!! These are so annoying!!! And I really hate when people take those stupid quizzes or share something about what their name means and it is all "You are an awesome person. more good stuff about how awesome you are" and they are all like "THIS IS SO ME!!!" It's all good stuff, anyone would say that is them!

Judging from the number of grown folks I know with minion collections, I'm guessing it is.

OMG YES!!!

I have been trying to cut down the clutter in my FB feed, unfollowing HS acquaintances who post too much, limiting businesses and organizations in my feed etc.

One day I actually clicked on the "hide" button to see if it could recognize these things and filter them for me.

This isn't actually relevant but it made me laugh. 

[skwcm80]

I didn't know this was a thing. Should I thank my FB friends using a Minion meme?

This one was shared by someone a number of times on my feed. Not one person picked up on a glaring error..

Omg amazing

[DarcyLongfellow]

Those are super weird.

Thankfully I haven't seen any of those. The only one I've seen is this one:



and it actually had me in fits of laughter.

[heyjude]

I don't know WTF a minion is and I have yet to see one pop up in my news feed.

[tictac]

I love Despicable Me and the minions(I actually hated the Minion Movie).

My mom and one sister have taken that to mean that I want my FB to be inundated with minion memes, and constantly post this shit on my wall. Annoys the fuck out of me.

SLAPPING A MINION ON A STUPID SENTENCE DOESN'T SUDDENLY MAKE IT AMUSING!!!!!

I think part of my new business should be a FTFY Meme service.

Brevity is the soul of wit, but this looks like the next version of someecards.
