Don Draper Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 While I do think that if someone annoys the **** out of you on Facebook, you should just delete him/her, I can understand why some people don't. Could be a family member or friend they see often in 'real life', and they simply want to avoid confrontation and awkwardness. My own status update bugbear is hoaxes (often involving Facebook usage) and scams. Folk fall for all kinds of nonsense that it would take 10 seconds to verify with an online search.

neave Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 This is 9 year old Jimmy, who has a rare form of cancer/AIDS/Hepatitis/migraine and needs lifesaving surgery, but his family can't afford it. It costs ?750,000,000. Jimmy's surgeon has said he'll perform his operation for free if he gets 2,000,000 likes on Facebook. Would've loved to have been a fly on the wall in that surgeon's office.

neave Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I actually hate it. But it's the kind of hate that makes me so thankful to not be one of these roasters. When I go to the pub with X and Y, I just go to the pub with X and Y. I don't understand the thought process of, oh I'm off to the pub with X and Y, better let Facebook know. Like, seriously, what goes through their head? You've had spag bol for dinner? Great. Hope you enjoyed it, but why are you telling everyone and showing a picture? I use it for messenger and to keep in direct touch with pals. Sometimes there's actual worthwhile news that I wouldn't have heard otherwise, and the occasional lass in a bikini. Beyond that it's mostly drivel from the most gormless tits in existence who believe that every thing they do is worthy of comment. They get no sort of validation in their real, lonely, pathetic existence, so they jump online to get it from there. Saddest thing is when no one even bothers to respond. That's when I get my jollies.

Creepy Lurker Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Probably the only kind of person more annoying than people who post crap Facebook statuses is the kind of person who constantly moans about people who post crap Facebook statuses. Who gives a ****? You can easily hide it from your feed if it bothers you that much. Alternatively, you can just not bother with your newsfeed if it's the newsfeed in general that bothers you (as opposed to scrolling through it for ages looking for stuff to sneer at).

Craigieboy Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 It's completely true about the way you hate the people on it so intensely but you seem addicted to tapping into their pissy existence. I had a couple chatting about how one wakes up early for 'a tab' and the other sleeps right through. Unless there've been eating popcorn the night before then in that case they both sleep right through. ****in tragic. I know these folk in real life and they're hideous folk.

Der Kaiser Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 When I started using Facebook I set myself a limit of 30 online friends at the start. I felt this would be a manageable number. Once I got to 30 I stayed there for quite a while bumping friend requests from folk i used to work with and some that I did work with. Bumped quite a few requests over the years from old school friends as well..... although I say friends..... .....what i really mean is people who went to the same school as me and while attending similar classes wouldn't give me the time of day because they had their head rammed so far up their own erse and that of their little wanky clique OR I wasn't cool enough to converse with them because my "mummy and daddy" didn't open their wallets to every feckin whim I had OR they were simply plain weird ("No I don't own a ferret but please tell me more about killing rabbits") So what makes them think now that because we're both older and more mature I'd want to share any of my life with them? We weren't friends in the slightest at school so why on gods green earth would I be interested where you're going on holiday (with the inevitable "4 sleeps to go!"), pictures of your kid on their new bike from 76 different angles because I'd struggle to grasp exactly how that would look from one clear picture or even a PICTURE WHICH TELLS ME YOU WERE ABLE TO FOLLOW STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS IN A COOK BOOK TO MAKE A FOOKIN CURRY FROM SCRATCH! And people from my old jobs. I spoke to you because your desk was beside mine and i believed that attempting to be on speaking terms would make my job less stressful. I don't like you. I never liked you. Most folk in the office didn't like you. 5 appauling secret santa gifts, derisory collections for your birthdays and sitting alone on nights out didn't give you any sort of hint that your personality and personal hygiene might actually be off putting? But hey....we've not spoke in 7 years....what are you having for your tea? I went over 30 last year.......months later culling folk from my Facebook to bring it down was actually quite liberating. Surprisingly in the cut I didn't cull my wifes pal who still posts these with increasing regularity "What time does (INSERT SHOP NAME) open?"..... And no....she's not hot? Blocked from my feed straight away but it doesn't block her on my phone annoyingly?? I'm really close to cancelling Facebook.....but every so often I can't quite resist the urge to use it to have a dig at someone....even better when they don't even realise I'm having a dig. This is probably my main reason for staying. This post probably makes me sound like a C__t But I am...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homme Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I had a chuckle at a lass tonight. Her sister got married at the weekend so naturally she had the pics of the wedding on Facebook / was being tagged in others and congratulations posted on her page from all over the ship. This lass must have been so seething with jealousy of her sister she changed her profile pic various times back to pics of her own wedding about two years ago to try get some attention back. i really want to call her out on it but cant be bothered with the hassle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most inane and blatantly deluded thing about it is when someone replies back "wot happened babe?", they reply back with "ill txt u bbs, don't want to post it on facebokk".

Supposedly the average facebook friend amount is about 200 and if you and your friends (presumably people who post this stuff aren't that concerned about their privacy) have the standard privacy settings of friends of friends can view your profile then even allowing for friends overlapping that probably leaves about 20,000 people who can look at pictures of your kid in the bath. That's more than half the circulation of the Scotsman. 10 years ago these kind of photos would have been seen by about a dozen close family members and a few future girlfriends.
