Sorry, I just need to vent. I find some of my friend's status updates BEYOND annoying. And yes, I have blocked some of them so I don't have to read it. Examples:
What is with the people who change their status to song lyrics twice a day, everyday? Annoying.
And I'm sorry, but I don't care if you can't decide whether to take your child to the park down the street, to the one around the corner, or just let him play in the yard. Seriously? I also don't care what he ate for lunch. Just sayin.
I also don't appreciate the new ones I have been seeing lately that are like chain letters. Such as..."now that you have started reading this you must post this as your status or else you will have bad luck for 5 years". WTF! I'm not that supersticious(sp?) but I also don't want to be screwed for 5 years.
And there is the very popular "Jane Doe" is...
Is what? Is annoying? Is wasting seconds of my life? Is looking for an appropriate song lyric? ARGHHHH! I feel a lot better now. What updates bother you? You bees must have some because I could keep going and going...
Haha...I blocked a few friends from my news feed too because of they were either...
Updating about their baby every 5 minutes
or
Posting "i'm so fat" "i suck at everything" "life is sooo hard" (you get the gist) type updates every 5 minutes to get sympathy "no, you're awesome" comments left for them
I feel kinda bad for doing it, but they were seriously working my last nerve.
The SAHM who updates everything about their child because they don't have a life outside of that child.(not dissing SAHM, I want to be one in the future, I just mean those types. I bet they don't even teach their kids things.) I mean, really. No.One.Cares if little Timmy is eating peas for the 1st time. Big freaking WHOOP.
There was actually one girl who used to post these incredibly emo facebook statuses about how sad she was, and no one understood her, and how she was so alone. It got even better when she got a boyfriend. One time he actually wrote "hello?" on one of her 'I'm so alone' statuses. She was one of the only people I regularly checked because she cracked me up.
I might have a good, solid quarter of my friends' status updates blocked.
1. I think it's great that your life is so AMAZING. I bet tomorrow will be EPIC. I don't really need to hear about it Every Single Day though. Ever heard the phrase "thou doth protest too much"? Works both ways.
2. I also think it's great that you're so crazy in love with your widdle luv muffin. There's a reason I don't snuggle with the two of you in bed every night, however. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOU COO SWEET NOTHINGS TO ONE ANOTHER. Why do you want the whole world to hear your sickeningly sweet baby talk? Isn't your boyfriend/husband/fiancee mortified at your over the top public display of "affection"? And if he's doing it BACK? Time for someone to turn in his man card...
3. I don't care that you're at the grocery store any more than you care that my ass is parked on my couch watching Judge Judy. There's a reason I don't travel with a gps device strapped to my ankle. I don't WANT the world to know where I am every waking moment of every day. Frankly, I'm a little concerned that you do. If you're that desperate to report in to someone throughout the day, get a parole officer. Hell, keep up those status updates and I may be finding myself with one soon.
4. You <3 Jesus? Awesome! Good for you! I find it hard to believe, however, that every last one of your 492 facebook friends share your exact belief system. Given that fact, it's pretty obnoxious to go around quoting scripture as your status update, especially when done in a "this is the TRUTH and you shall OBEY!!!" kinda tone. Yeesh. Even if I were religion shopping, I think I might go for one that whose followers don't feel the need to beat me upside the head with a scripture stick.
5. I think it's awesome that you do volunteer work and that you like to run. I like running too. However, posting after every run you do (especially when you run almost every day) as well as posting multiple times a day about every detail of the volunteer work you're doing and how awesome you are for doing it is driving me f'n crazy, not to mention the fact that your constant bragging kinda takes away from the whole charitable element of your work. More importantly, you're making me feel bad for sitting on my ass watching Judge Judy. Knock it off.
I think that's about it. For now.
Dear lord, why are you all not submitting to Lamebook, STFUparents, and the other blogs of that nature? I tell you, it is fantastic to blow off steam. :)
@lezlers: number 1: Yessssssss. I always read these to my husband and say, 'Geeeez, who is she trying to convince??' Also number 5! I have a friend like this and we always joke that she must be planning a run for office or something!
What gets me is that people have no problem sharing what they are doing, where they are doing it, and when. I mean, if someone had a crazy person as a friend on facebook it'd be really simple for them to pick up on your routine and stalk you.
Aaanyways, the one I had the most is when people post a vague, cryptic status that people have to ask about in order to figure out what they are saying. I mean, its obvious they want attention!
Boy oh boy do I know where your coming from. My personal favs are when my "friends" that are SAHM's insist on posting about their kids latest shit. Last I checked, NO-ONE ON THE PLANET cares as much about your kids bowel movements as you do and they certainly do not need to be documented on FB.
Status updates don't bother me for the most part other than 10 "I'm bored" updates a day...what gets to me is the newly pregnant posting their pee stick. I don't need to see something my friends pee'd on!
@lilacwire: OMG, just checked out Lamebook and it is too funny! I had no idea this existed!
My fiance has a friend who is trying to become a stand up comedian and posts constantly. Every single place she is going, and worse yet she has a new profile picture every. single. day. Sometimes we'll be reading his friends list together and every other post is her for the entire page.
We also have a friend who posts multiple times a day about how emo he is because the girl he likes won't date him. Then she responds and they go on sorta flirting sorta emo-ing for ten comments. Then he posts that he's going out drinking. Then he posts the next morning that he is emo. And hung over. Although this whole drama has gone on for over a month and is still entertaining.
This is kind of making me glad I don't spend much time on Facebook. I highly recommend it as a way to avoid lots of aggravation. :)
Oh my god this is awesome. I have been to lamebook but not in a while - I need to go back!!! I totally forgot you could block people and just started doing it again - thank you Mark Zuckerberg for providing us that option!
I hid the status updates for one "friend" but every now and then I'll go on her page just to read the drama. I can't tell you the last time she posted something positive. It's always: woe is me; my life is terrible; my baby has so many problems; I'm pregnant again, fml; I'm so broke, etc...
I'm sorry, but I'm not giving sympathy to you. You made some bad decisions and now you are living with them.
So annoying...
Some of these made me LOL! And Lezlers your post made me howl! I really need to check out those sites. BTW I feel dumb asking...but what is a SAHM
What lezlers said.
AND the ones that are angrily addressed to a "you" as in "you had to make my life miserable" or something like that...just say it straight to that person if you must!
I can't stand the few people who continue to write their status in third effing person!!!
Newsflash! Facebook removed the precursory "is" like, I don't know, three years ago?! So you don't need to account for grammatical correctness. Nor do you need to reinstate the "is" and THEN proceed to edit your status in the third person. No one wants to see you say, "Joe Schmoe: is going to lunch with his girlfriend. He is so happy to see her! He can't wait!" We're so glad you remember seventh-grade english. Now SHUT. UP.
I actually have a friend who writes updates like this:
Jane Doe: says, "I got an A on my chemistry test!"
First of all, don't EVER brag about your stupid grades. That's almost as annoying as the fact that you feel the need to put "says" and quotation marks around what you should have just written by itself. Except you shouldn't have written it. No one gives a $#!* about your grades.
@kelmac: I think it means Stay At Home Mom
@littlemissmango: I cannot STAND when people talk about their grades on facebook! I have a coworker who not only brags about her grades (in a Masters program) to me in person (I sit right next to her) but then she also feels the need to put "Got a 98.7 on my test - so glad I passed" OMFG I want to kill you!!!
And yeah, SAHM means "stay at home mom." I think they are the worst status update offenders by far. Can't totally blame them, though, it's not like they have a whole hell of a lot else going on outside of their kids.
I dont mind song lyric updates or abstract quotes, but I dont like the personal updates of all the choices they are making in life and everything they had to eat and every fight they had, and every element of their day. but song lyrics dont bother me at all...
I have a real problem with the friends who post how badly their husband treats them, how they are thinking of leaving, how they are looking for an apartment, etc. Then a month later their status is "Happy Annversary to my husband. I love you sooooo much!" or worse, they post "This is husband week. Repost if you have the best husband in the world." Yeah. Everytime I see them together after that, I wonder if they are faking being happy together.
I hate when people try to push their political views on me with their status updates. When I see something like, "Happy birthday to me! Now if only I could get my wish and get these f-ing idiots out of the white house, that would be awesome."
Really? That's what you wished for on your birthday? The same person who will complain about health care reform, but doesn't pay a dime for their healthcare. I just want to kick them.
I also can't stand all those posts that say REPOST IF YOU AGREE. 99% of people won't. Will you?
Or the ones that say "This is SISTER/BROTHER/WIFE/HUSBAND/SON/DAUGHTER week. If you have a SISTER/BROTHER/WIFE/HUSBAND/SON/DAUGHTER, copy and past this to your status.
I often wonder who decides that it is SISTER/BROTHER/WIFE/HUSBAND/SON/DAUGHTER week? And why is it EVERY WEEK?
I have this one friend (who I keep mainly for entertainment purposes) that fights with her boyfriend almost every other day right on her wall. Her relationship status also changes 2 to 3 times daily. She actually posted a rant b/c people dropped her from their friends list b/c of her constant drama. She was angry b/c those friends dropped her because of her PRIVATE business...LOL. Umm...honey if you want it to be private, you might want to pick up the phone and actually CALL the dude and not post on FB for all of us to see.
Next on the list....the pessimist. There is one in particular that I have on permanent ignore. His status is ALWAYS negative: can't find a job, my dog ran away, my dog came back and I can't feed it b/c I don't have a job....just madness.
I just wish people would use a bit of a filter before putting stuff out about their personal life. Its one thing to say something positive every once in a while, but the negative stuff really gets me. One friend of mine posts like every other week about how terrible her husband is, how she feels like the only adult in the house, etc. Then a week later its all love and roses. Hello, we all know what you’re marriage is really like – you put your dirty laundry out there! We know you don’t have “the best husband in the hole world!!!!” (complete with misspelling!)
The other thing that annoys me are updates about being sick. Look, it’s fall. I have a cold, my husband has a cold, most people have or will have a cold. I don’t want to know that your snot is bright yellow or about how terrible you feel updated 7 times a day . We’re all almost 30 for crying out loud – take some DayQuil and OJ, take a nap and grow up!
Agree with others that SAHM are the worst status offenders; though, I get it. Its just annoying to see day after day “sooooooo much laundry to do, so tired, have to clean the kitchen, need a nap” – I am temped to comment “yes and imagine if you had to do all that after getting home from work at 6pm?”. Every parent has to clean their house and do laundry. (I know its hard work being a SAHM, but seriously, its annoying, especially when cI'm hecking FB at work lol)
@gabrielleelise1981: definitely agree with the last. Especially since I work all day and STILL have laundry, dishes, cooking, etc when I get home. Sometimes I want to post...can you run over to my house and get started on my laundry after your nap?
I don't want to sound mean towards any particular group of people, but in all honestly the only updates that bother me are the SAHM's posting about what their kids are doing. 10 times a day. And constantly reinforcing all of us how 'awesome' their lives are as parents.
Personally, I feel like this is a violation of the childrens privacy and actually putting them at risk to sexual predators who would LOVE to know things like where they play, where they go to school, what their favorite food is, etc. And the millions of pics are helpful too. Forget the fact that it's also annoying to people like me who really don't care and don't appreciate the fact that it's now a 'contest' about whose living a better life.
@moderndaisy: That's actually why I think the check in feature is awful! Good thing you're "checking in" from somewhere other than your house. You're basically letting everyone and their mother know that you aren't home and that your house is free to rob whenever they want!
I can take bad status updates, I can take drama (if it's that bad they're unfriended..)
but...
I can't stand when people post FUNERAL PHOTOS. I have one 'friend' in particular who just posted photos of her grandfather's. There are some events you just don't bring a camera to- and you definitley don't post photos (casket, burial) on a networking site. It's not a wedding.
I don't have that much drama going on in my feed, which is nice.
The only people I have blocked are the ones who post political updates. It drives me nuts. A couple of times I ended up replying to a political post (against my better judgment), and seriously regretted doing so. I actually unfriended a high school acquaintance (who I wasn't that close to) after the idiotic way he responded. The rest of them I blocked. I'm trying to find my zen, and those political updates weren't helping. Now I either block the person if they end up posting too much about politics, or I take a deep breath, ignore it, and move on.
I have a few friends who post very religious status updates (I went to school in the south) but honestly, they're pretty harmless. It's actually kind of amusing, in a "WTF you're kind of crazy" way.
I'm getting so sick of the trend, "Dear Whatever.."
I have one friend who posts daily: "dear runny nose you can go away any day now," or "dear boyfriend, please be nice" or "dear midterm it would make me really really happy if you'd let me pass you..." SERIOUSLY?! Enough!
I have another friend who drives me absolutely insane on FB as well. She's a SAHM, but was bad even before she had kids. She's the type who will post rants about well know issues, but she won't have her facts straight and she has a million spelling and grammer mistakes. She also posts ridiculous updates about her kids.
She'll post something like, "Gawd don't you poeple undersnd wht your doing to our kids? Stop posting nakit fotos of your babies in teh tub!! It peoples liek you who crate pedofiles!" (actual post) HELLO DID YOU EVEN GRADUATE JUNIOR HIGH? I can understand her concern, but it all honestly I think she's being lazy and ditzy instead of actually taking the time to correct her errors. She never came accross as this dumb before FB came out! It makes me think about what kind of "nourishing" environment her kids are being raised in...definately know how they're going to do with reading...
@mrs.peters.to.be: I actually had to grab my stomach I was laughing so hard at your post...LOL
I find it annoying as well when people update their status too much. I just block them as also when they start to post so much that it fills up the wall. I like to read what my friends are up to but every detail is not necessary.
This is a post where I belong! lol I can relate to all of this. My pet peeves are:
1. "THE ALL CAPS GUY". ALL CAPS, ALL THE TIME. SUPER!
2. The "I want to show you how cool I am because I listen to really cool music, so I am going to post all these random song lyrics all day" guy (or girl). I have one friend that posts song lyrics about 15 times a day. I am okay with the random, now and then song lyrics, but seriously, all day. She has two statuses, song lyrics and how much she loves her boyfriend. That's it. She must love her boyfriend more than anyone else in the history of the world, right?
3. The "I'm the only mom in the world with the only baby in the world so everything baby does is A-MAZING" woman. I am so happy to know all about how Zacharoo had 4 dirty diapers today, and he ate carrots for the first time and how cute it was, how he only got 3 hours of sleep, bless his heart, and how he has a widdle biddy wunny nose. Good Lord! This particular friend does have a full time job, so she does leave the house every day. Isn't there ANYTHING else you can say?
4. The "Check In" Guy. Why do I need to know that you are checking in from Wal-Mart? And why would you think you need to check in from Wal-Mart?! But hey, now that I know you're not home, that is a prime opportunity for me to go and grab that new weedeater I spotted on your carport. So thanks! Also, I think it's a little conceited for you to tell everyone your every move, like you're so important!
5 The "extra letter teens"...I hadddd the worssttt daaaayyy at schooollll. Why are they doing this? I asked my little cousin and she just laughed and said she didn't know. Seriously? Every status is like that with these kids. Is it regional? I don't know, but it is annoying.
6. The "peer pressure" guy. He/She tells me I will repost this status if I love Jesus! I do love Jesus, but I don't think he really cares if I repost a facebook status because you told me I should. That is like me doing something because all the cool kids are doing it. If I told you to jump off a bridge if you love Jesus, would you?Exactly.
7. "Debbie Downer" and "There is nothing too personal to put on FB" guy. Okay, we need to talk about a little word called PRIDE. It's a good thing. Have some once in a while.
Okay, those are just from the ones I've read this morning.
@maureen9004: Oh my God! I've never seen funeral pictures before! Holy cow...
@curlyncurvy: LOL I cant stand Farmville updates!!! Or mafia wars, aquarium, cake bakery, little shop or whatever other fake world you are living in!!! Please stop trying to get me to join too - Im just going to keep rejecting you!
