I've been known to not do something I had already planned on doing, simply because someone told me to do it. My motivation to do that thing just goes through the floor 🤷♂️ |

"It’s not petty at all
I left Facebook all together as there were so many “what a bad day posts” that when anyone asked the reply was “pm me”
So attention seekers often see me leave places "
I have people blocked who do the woe is me thing.
I would never describe myself as 67 years young or ask 'how young are you?' |

Yes, I don’t generally like groups that are focused on age, but belong to a few that by definition are all my age (60s) or older.
I tend to fade away from rather than actually leave groups that I am no longer interested in or get no enjoyment from (unless I feel that its a duty) rather than leaving, but it comes to the same thing.
I hate the ‘60 years young’ stuff too. I probably behave as if I’m young now in a way that ironically I never did in my youth but there’s no point pretending that aging doesn’t happen and have implications. |

"At 40 something…. I can’t give that much of a sh*t how people describe their age. 😅
"
That's why I say it's petty. It really couldn't be less important could it but here I am thinking of leaving the group because*some* of the members say young instead of old.  |

I stopped using Facebook because my big sister kept posting cryptic "you know who your true friends are when the shit hits the fan" type comments. Rather than unfollow or unfriended my own sister and face having to explain why I didn't know what was going on in her life, I chose to never log on again. Now I have no idea how anyone is doing. |

You know you can mute people (my daughter did that to sister - I was thinking of doing the same - though I think she went one stage further with me and changed her Facebook name!) |

Clearly you won't back down, 'Tom'. You're such a heartbreaker. "
Oh, priceless (round of applause for Mrs Nice) |

I know you can, but then I'd have to awkwardly explain why I don't know what she's talking about when she mentions her numerous Facebook activities. It was far easier to be able to say "oh, I don't use Facebook anymore...."

I've muted a friend who's obsessed with Elvis to the point that she talks about him as if she knows him. |

I've left fab related chat groups because of the me,me,me creatures.
The one-upmanship, the demand for attention or validation or just taking every compliment as their own regardless of who they were actually aimed at.
Even taking every criticism personally when they weren't even involved in the conversation or being spoken about.
Normally I would just slip away quietly but on a few occasions I've been the group admin and had a quiet word with the culprits privately only to be met with abuse and drama so I've pulled the plug on the groups completely.
I've left a few business related Facebook groups because they have been equally childish. |

I've removed people as friends on here/from my hotlist because of their mindnumbingly dull little dig statuses.
I'm also rather petty because I eyeroll so hard when people describe themselves as x years young as well. Or say they don't have wrinkles when I've met them.
Nah, fuck it. It's not petty. I'm just not letting their shite live rent free in my head. |

I will look at it this way I think.
I'm not petty I'm rational and logical |

I think it was more about their pettiness rather than my own. |

A group that I'm currently a member of has had some issues with someone following a recent trip abroad.
We take great pride in being very inclusive and splitting the cost of everything equally so that those who maybe couldn't normally afford to do certain things are given that opportunity.
Her social media posts throughout the trip were deliberately worded to give the impression she had organised the entire thing and was travelling alone despite the fact all she had to do was turn up.
It might seem petty but she has been removed from all future trips. |

Funny that, I'm in a group called the department of petty rage, and that was one of them. Haha. I wholeheartedly agree with it. It's annoying |

I left a music group because wankers kept posting photos in band tshirts or posting photos of tshirts asking which one they should wear. This was adult men in their fifties. Absolute fucking clowns. They'll all be at rebellion now dressed up as punks in their clothes they pack away and wear once a year. |
