Annoying things people write on Facebook

Agree with the above. A collection of 12 calendar months being spoken of as if it were an individual is quite grating.

A few people "devastated" this morning. I didn't realise I had so many of George Michael's friends and family on my friends list.

[RiG]

Liking the posts from folk saying that 2016 is the worst year ever. Whilst I wasn't around at the time I suspect that the 1940s weren't exactly a great time to be alive.

Seems to be the in thing for the grief junkies today

The only death that made me feel a bit sad was Dalian Atkinson.

I find people who go on about how much they don't care way more tedious than any of the 'grief junkies'. If there is no musician, actor, artist etc whose death would upset you, your life must be pretty fucking empty.

I think there's a difference between thinking "oh, that's a shame" and actively posting your grief with hyperbolic nonsense like "devastated" and "in tears", especially when, often, the poster has never expressed the slightest interest in said performer before they were sans-pulse.

Tell you what, I'll do a list of people whose death would upset me and upload it somewhere, just to satisfy the fucking grief police.

Clearly the death of George Michael has upset this poster greatly.

It did, but now someone has posted a Still Game meme I now see the error of my ways

Lemmy died just before the end of 2015

Whoever did this picture clearly wasn't as devastated as I was.

[Cardinal Richelieu]

Why is Leicester City in the picture? Don't remember them dying. 

[Sherrif John Bunnell]

Unfortunately, Brexit is also very much alive and well.

There are undoubtedly many fans who are genuinely shocked and upset at news like this. But he majority of public grief is far from genuine.

It's absolutely empty and pathetic. People need to be called out for it (despite the difficulty in working out who is genuine and who is not).

This is an absolutely alien point of view.  I can't even understand why a celebrity dying would make someone who is a complete stranger to them upset.

I like Joy Division's music. Annoyingly Ian Curtis is already dead.

I'm belatedly gutted though.

I like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

I was gutted when I heard he'd died

[Mark Connolly]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think Carrie Fisher might be dead...
