VIDEO: Our fabulous lives on Facebook
Updated | By Rory Petzer

Social media has become a space in which we are able to show the world how apparently fabulous our lives are.
For some, not an evening out, a simple sushi meal, and sometimes not even a car wash goes unposted.
Equally as prevalent are the posts about how absolutely 'terrible' life is in the first world.
Posts like: "Long queue at bank. FML," or "My coffee is cold" are not uncommon, and often met with reassuring comments.
But, let's focus for a minute on those 'fabulous' posts that are more often than not accompanied by perfectly filtered and cropped photos.
Are those posts always true? Are these 'ordinary' people just fabricating an online fantasy?
Watch this video and see what often happens when people post the truth!
Do you only post (often fabricated) happy status updates and avoid the misery or are you all about the truth on social media?
What posts annoy you on social media and what kind of posts do you 'like?'
