There is an option on FB that can filter that "voyeur couples".
I do that.
The same with new mom who keeps gazillions pictures of her babies on FB.
I filter those two groups.
Some people just really like to share. Not everyone has the same sense of privacy and getting upset at someone for being who they are because it is not who you are is just silly. Killing a friendship, if it is a real friendship, over it is ridiculous. Fortunately FB has lots of ways that you can customize what you see from your friends and what your friends see from you. I think the features Are very underutilized by most people. Social networking is a great tool but not many people seem to understand how to use it well...

I don’t talk to her at all anymore. Ever since she started dating this guy, she refuses to go out without him so I let her be. AND Reason being, she cheated on her BF who was supporting her(paying rent/bills). The guy she left him for left his wife and kids for her and has yet to see them or pay child support since he left them and he moved in with her and her parents. (She didn’t tell me this, her sister did). I usually don’t care when people do stuff like this. But she involved me in her messy relationship. Telling her now x BF she was always with me when she wasn’t she was with this new guy. It ruined my friendship with him because he believed I was helping her cheat, which I didn’t.
I don't get it either, OP. I know everyone says well just hide them or delete them and it's silly to be annoyed by it, but it really does annoy me that people have to post everything they do on social networks all day. For some people it seems like if they don't document it on Facebook then it didn't happen. Who else really cares how many loads of laundry you did or how many miles you ran that day? No one but you. The people I know in the happiest relationships do not gush or post pictures of themselves on Facebook all the time. Maybe some people who do that really are happy and just can't help themselves, but I think most of those people are over compensating and hoping if they can make everyone else think they are happy, then maybe they really will be. It's actually pretty sad.

Yes!!! It’s easy to hide it (cause I hide them). I just don’t see why people like putting everything out there. I think people fail to realize when you check in at vacation spots, you might be telling some people hey my place is empty, go rob it!
I don't understand why people get annoyed by what other people do when they can control it with a few clicks of a mouse button and learn how to unfriend, unfollow, filter, etc. on the social media bs sites.
Just change your settings . . . if someone is blowing up the feed, I just change my settings for their posts and how they appear as notices in my news feed.
I think what the OP is really referring to is -- why some folks just have that "need" to post this much personal stuff.
My feeling is . . . they are enjoying it and they are doing it for themselves and the others who are pictured in their photos. They probably have no clue that is it aggravating anyone else b/c they know that folks can easily filter if it is bothering anyone.
I know fully grown women who spend most of their time checking it when out socialising etc.
FRIGGIN RUDE as well as ridiculous, like who cares if your cat just farted?
