Maybe someone can screenshot all the great threads and post them over here. Because I'm certainly not subjecting myself to any amount of idiocy and/or ***hattery on the off-chance there's some great telenovela going on.

Facebook is the worst  ;D (says the girl with a Facebook account)

Hahah I don't think the drama is worth it. But it definitely gets interesting.

My names Jennifer on Facebook. Profile pic is me as a little baby. Thanks for noticing in giving correct advice. I nearly lost it when she said it was my opinion. 😏

I find that absolutely mental that a person can tell you that the literal facts you are sharing from a legal document are "your opinion" LOL

I gave up arguing. Like I said, if she has replied, I won't, and when she replies to my reply....I totally blank her. Lost all credibility with me

I think I would be questioning how real these people and there stories are! LOL I would definitely be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued but, on the other hand, I don't want that frustration popping up on my newsfeed! lol

The thing is, it happens a LOT from a lot of different people.  I thought the first couple ones were trolls but when you see it play out every couple weeks with different people, sometimes people that posted there for ages before about visa stuff, you begin to realize there's a level of truth to it. 

I hid it from my newsfeed and I check in on the page when I need my dramz.  Lol. I don't like it popping up when I'm not in the mood for it either.

If anyone is looking for local drama on facebook by the way...find your local unofficial residents' page for your town/city/area.  The one for my city is a s***show and I'm loving it.

lol I do the same! I feel awful using it as entertainment shall we say but oh well. I was Able to help one poor American guy once so I'll say that's my good deed.

Somebody literally started a page called Peterborough's twats or something last summer. I don't think it's going anymore but it was funny to follow.

Oh my god, my village's facebook page literally is just filled with the most MISERABLE people on the planet! If there isn't something natural to complain about, they'll figure something out.

That Facebook group is really something else.  I've been following for the past week to kill some time.  I'd never take an ounce of advice from there... unless I wanted to ensure I never got a visa ever again.

Someone asked if the new form had been released and she said no, not until October. Even though when they were released I posted the link and tagged her.......

I'm not on any of the FB groups, but I have a morbid curiosity about this one :P. Thing is, if I joined it, I'm not sure I could resist the urge not to get involved :P.

This is why I bang my head against the wall. People trust that she gives accurate information....

It gets harder and harder to resist the urge to join the group with the more posts I see haha mainly because I am so curious! But I know that it's better to now have that stuff popping up on my newsfeed because it will cause me more irritation than it's worth! lol
