Put a ❤️ On your wall Facebook message

This thing has started up again. 
Does anyone else get annoyed by these? 
It does nothing to raise awareness! 
The 'know your lemons' meme is far better! It was due to that meme that I realised something was not as it should be… not some stupid little heart on someone's wall. 
Im trying to not bite my well-meaning friends heads off by these 'secret' messages, but find it annoying. 
How do you deal with these? 
  • Annoys me and I resist writing anything rude...but it is sooo hard.
  • This is what I posted on my Facebook status when the hearts start appearing, plus I add a link to breast screen. Feel free to copy and use on your Facebook:

    Rather than posting a heart on your status, maybe remember to check yourself instead for any unusual lumps and bumps and go have a breast screen. Men too need to check themselves, breast cancer can strike anyone, male or female. Breast cancer does not discriminate. I post this with love in my heart  <3
  • I was tempted to send them a photo of my deflated boob, with the message… 'this will make sure you check your girls, I don't need a reminder as I have this'
    but I decided to keep my well-meaning naive friends LOL
  • My responses tonight
    "No. I don't do these. They do nothing for bc awareness or prevention etc 
    I already have breast cancer. 
    What really helped me was the 'know your lemons' meme"
  • Gives me the irrits. Pointless behaviour which I can only assume is meant to signal how virtuous the people who participate are. Pffhht. 
  • Oh gosh I'm glad it's not just me! Lol yep annoy the heck out of me. I find it therapeutic to just hide the post
