Do you wish people Happy Birthday on Facebook?

[zorax]

I usually don't.

If it's someone that I am close enough to that I want to wish them, I can usually message them directly on WhatsApp/FB and so I don't post on their walls.

If it's someone who I won't wish privately (either because I barely know then or I cbf) then I don't bother with a wall post

The tricky bit is people who I won't wish privately, but whom I know I'll see IRL sooner than later, or someone that I have just newly met. Not quite sure how to navigate that scenario, so usually err on the side of posting on their wall anyways. But I try to never be the first one to wish - looks too eagre otherwise.

Your thoughts?

The answer to this dilemma is so obvious mate I don't even want to say it.

Go on, edify me

 

[Adders]

Just do what you always do........****ing like a post from someone else wishing the HB.

 

[zorax]

Hahaha

I actually like a lot fewer posts on FB in general because it's such a public place. I don't want people pulling me up IRL because they have an issue about something I liked or didn't like

Same. The last I went there was to look for sledger only to quickly realize the pointlessness of the exercise.

So people rip the **** out of you in RL too eh?

 

[Burgey]

Yes I do.

That's in answer to both Adders' post and the OP

Why wouldn't they

 

[zorax]

Yes I do.

Please don't. Several people have already asked about the strange old white man commenting on my FB posts. It's getting hard to explain.

After your snitching on Flem and the way you've gone about things in the BOTM thread,I won't wish you happy anything, other than gonorrhea.

 

[zorax]

Why would you want me to be happy with gonorrhea

 

[Burgey]

It's the disease which would be happy, not you.

I used to cheerily dish out happy birthday posts.

Now I use their special days as an opportunity to either cull them from my friend list or unfollow them.

It's a jungle out there.

Facebook is solely for memes and stalking people.

 

[trundler]

You people are heartless

No one I know uses Facebook anymore, I think they're surviving on past glories and having acquired Whatsapp (he said while knowing nothing about Facebook).

My usage is probably like 9000% lower than it used to be but it's still heavily used by many I would suggest
