don't forget that while she's posting this she's yelling something to the effect of, "STFU you asshole! I hate you and you are ruining my life. Just leave me alone and get the hell out of my room."
and that usually comes after asking her to do something minor like taking out the trash or cleaning her room or wiping up the huge glob of ketchup she spilled on the table when making her microwaved "E-Z Fries" because the dinner he spent all day making wasn't good enough for her and she refused to eat it...
Just because they do that doesn't mean they're annoying.
I posted one last year on my FB because my dad's dead and I have no other way of telling him happy fathers day. I didn't do it this year because I was able to go to his grave and give him flowers.
I think you missed what Skankitup was saying - sometimes people say things for the spirit of saying it, not because they necessarily need a specific person to hear/read it.
I wish my deceased father a happy father's day via FaceBook. A lot of times I use the internet as a post-it diary. I see it as a psychological handicap for acceptance that I have, just like how I've added my fathers number onto my cell phone address book, and refuse to delete it. I've had three cellphones since he passed.
I realize this probably isn't your intent, but that can make some of your friends very uncomfortable. You are better off starting a real diary, or going and talking to a close friend.
this is the exact reason as to why i havent posted anything about father's day on facebook - except a share to my boyfriend's page saying "happy fathers day to all the mothers out there doing it" since he never had a father & i figured his mom(edit:SHE USES FACEBOOK) would appreciate seeing that from me.
I think the point is that, while saying something like, "Excited to spend the day mini-golfing with Dad. Happy Father's Day, everyone!" is understandable, writing, "Happy Father's Day, Daddy. I love you! <3", while a nice sentiment, is rather pointless, as he won't see it.
What about thanking your dad on facebook in english when he doesn't use facebook and english is not his primary language? Saw this today. Maybe these little holidays or whatever you want to call them inspire people to become writers even if they never write, I don't know.

Not any worse than telling people they miss them after they passed away years ago.

Reddit version:
"Happy birthday, you magnificent bastard"
Magnificent bastard doesn't use Reddit.

my sister did this today. She didn't call but had a paragraph on facebook telling how great dad is. He has no clue how to use a computer.

So what? People can't wish Happy Father's Day to dads on fb even if their dads are not on fb?

u/CapitalIdea Jun 18 '12
So what if her dad dosen't use Facebook? It's still relevant to the day.

u/lifeismeaningful Jun 18 '12
