Last week I was getting bored waiting to go to work so joined some local village Facebook groups, Has anyone else done this?
They seem to be full of people complaining about rival local Facebook groups,
Lots of curtain twitching & seeing suspicious people loitering about.
reporting damage to cars and other such minor criminality,
Constant missing cats / dogs - pictures of said animals all look the same.🙄
Notifications that the mobile speed camera is about - getting about 100 comment of people either saying thanks or you shouldn't be speeding anyways🙄🙄
General old fart vs young cuss what has happened to this village / in my day type comments.
People constantly asking what taxi service to use, and all the local cab companies replying and sometimes sqabbling.
Is your broadband provider working? Then complaints about said service that they get crap reception.....(Probably because they have the router locked up under the stairs covered in tin foil.🙄)
People in a certain part of town complaining about no mobile reception, yet at the same time there is a massive thread where people are opposing the erection of a mobile tower in said part of town. 🙄🙄 Proper NIMBYism.
I think it’s probably best not to know these sorts of things, it’s the sort of stuff that makes sad old people stay at home reading the Daily Mail🙄.
Plus point is there’s also a local sales section which seems to be full of tarts selling worn underwear and tight dresses. 👍
Anyone else interested in their local facebook groups or have any interesting local tales?

They are awful. People just start getting angry over nothing.
I do like winding people up though. Especially when they have major flaws to the argument.
They really can't handle being told they are wrong.

Sorry.
I am getting quite tired of the congratulations to sainsbury's posts.
For not selling fireworks.
They wish everyone else followed suit because no one is allowed to have fireworks because the little doggy gets scared.
I tell em my cat loves them and they should have trained their dog better.

The most common topic by far is the issue of dogshit on the pavement / Im a responsible dog owner type arguments...
Never fails to disappoint / turn heated.😂

This sounds identical to our village facebook page. It actually started off as a page about the village history with loads of 'then and now' type pictures. Loads of stuff about mining history (iron ore not coal) and info. about the railways etc etc. Then the page owner turned it into a more 'news and views' type page and its evolved into exactly the same as above, as a result a lot of people stopped posting and some left. |

Our local one is pavement parking. Our regular one is the nimby's crying about just about any proposed development and in particular how much the village is expanding housing wise. |

Sorry, I mean 'Winterval'.  Gay Christmas Tree. "They’re not real, of course, but is anything real these days? Yes, artificial trees decked out in the rainbow colours. Available from Amazon at £196 a pop. You should get one…….they’ll last for years and you don’t want the ‘Thought Police’ kicking your back door in (oooh, cheeky) on Christmas Day do you?" |

 * I have been following the Little Hadham / Much Hadham Facebooks recently, since the 'Protected Species'* turned up to lower their house prices: "There is a brown horse in the big field (moor place) behind the football pitch. Not sure if it is supposed to be there as the horses are normally in the field further back?!" "Large brown horse 🐎 running towards Little Hadham through Much Hadham at quite a lot of speed!" www.facebook.com/spottedmuchhadham/ |

Usually posted by people sat mortgaged upto the hilt in their 3bedroomed house on the ‘new executive development by Barratts the Builders’ no doubt!🙄 |

I like reading my local Farcebook page because of the moaning.😆I enjoy seeing how long it takes for a thread to have commenting turned off-once the real bad language starts !

You will be able to see for each argument how long before ’Godwins law’ is proven. - Godwin’s law states that as a social media argument intensifies the greater the probability of one side comparing the other to Nazis or Hitler. |
