Selkirk_Jambo Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 My faves are the bints who post something like "My life is shit right now. Why are some people so heartless?". This is then followed by a succession of other bints posting "Whats up, hun? xx" "Call me, babe xox". The original bint does not post again. She has gained the attention she was looking for. Arseholes. I used to think that this was a bursd only thing but now I have seen, on 2 separate occasions, male FB friends saying stuff like 'OMG, whats up with jealous people?' or 'Sum peepul need to get a life!1!!'

Alan Johnson Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I find it useful fire keeping up with mates when I'm away at uni, and mates from uni when I'm at home. The problem is that as I had Facebook before I left school I ended up with 300-odd 'friends' from school spraffing shite when in reality I only ever spoke to 20 or so of them. Recently deleted over 60% of my Facebook friends though. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 This is the bit where I don't get the seethe, all these folk complaining about weapons grade roasters on Facebook, must have actually added them as friends. Even worse, not only did they add them, but they still won't delete them even after seeing their weapons grade roaster-ness first hand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I think Twitter is far worse. Facebook is useful. Twitter is utter manure... it took the very worst function from Facebook (status updates) and created an entire social network built around that alone.

Grado Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Currently got a page full of rangers fans sending messages to FARE or linking FARE's email address and twitter page about Celtic fans singing tonight.

The Comedian Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I've had a Facebook for a month or so now as there was a page for getting information on the job I was starting.

Marvin Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Right what's with all the roasters saying pish like Feeling sad or feeling happy at the of some stupid Status update? Hashtags as well Never use FB, not even remotely interested. Also prospective employers check for you on FB just to see what you are like outside work and if you get found out to be doing something less than legal on it and you are tagged, then you are royally fecked - stay clear imo. I can count on one hand how often I have accessed twitter. To me all it is a way of stalking people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Couples that sit and talk to each other all night as well Got one better. Around 13 years ago prior to moving down South, I stayed with my buddy at her flat. Whenever her mate came over, they would talk to each other in "chat" whilst in the same fecking room. He would be on his laptop and my buddy on her desktop. There is not enough facepalms in the world to illustrate how bad that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redm Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 It's the bloody cartoon/cheesy images with inspirational messages that do my box in. If you have nothing to say, say nothing. Don't feel you have to post or share one of these dreadful things please. Makes me want to poke my own eyes out. That and subtweeting/submessaging. Sod OFF.

Grumpy Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I have 3 facebook accounts. 1 is my own personal one which I've had for 3 years and have logged into about 5 times max. This is explained by the fact that the other 2 are for work purposes. Can't believe how much some people reveal and don't set even basic privacy settings. Absolutely incredible and a valuable lesson in cyber security. As long as Facebook and a large portion of its users believe its more important than it actually is, then it will continue to be of use to me for work purposes. It certainly isn't of use on a personal basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgiewave Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I follow a case in Australia (Somerton Man/Tamam Shud) on a group, but otherwise it's shite. Pictures of people on their holidays and "links" to a 300-word press article? Away and shite. A waste of time. The number of people who hate seems to be growing, so it might have to change somehow or die. Hopefully the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Buaben Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Agreed. My girlfriend spends hours on them trawling for something entertaining - but a lot of it is complete drivel. I have a friend who checks me in to every-bloody-where we go together. This gets very very old on a day/night out. This. I have a mate who does this too. Nights out & Away games.

Gorgiewave Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I think at least half of the misery described on facebook could be overcome by taking a long walk in the countryside.

BoJack Horseman 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.
