A girl I went to high school with posted her status as "EMERGENCY: need $2500 by tonight. Call (number) to donate or send prayers."
I also see the cryptic "I can't believe she/he would do this to me" and other overly personal statuses, and it gets so old!
What are the weirdest you've personally seen?
I hide a lot of people from my news feed!
Someone once posted about how they felt sick because they were "menstruating."
One of the kids I used to work with also once posted something about masturbating. Of course, my profile was set so my kids couldn't see personal stuff about me, but clearly they didn't know how to do privacy settings on their end.
I also know people whose status updates are ALWAYS about their significant others. I mean, it gets old when that's all it is... five times a day, every day.
That's so awkward! I couldn't imagine publishing something that private online.
Another odd one from today:
"celebrated Toga Day and the Ides of March with an impromtu photo session."
wow lilyfaith, that's so awkward! i know some people who really update so often it's like..."i'm going into the bathroom" "i'm coming out of the bathroom" "i'm so lonely"...I mean, gosh!
I have a guy I was old friends with post in every update where he is drinking/partying, in all caps. Like this:
"I AM AT THE BAR ON MICHIGAN, COME DRINK SHOTS WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"I AM GOING TO ASPEN!!! BEER BONG HERE I COME!!!!!"
etc.
I can't stand the needy/cryptic ones too! "How could he do this to me?!" Then the person expects everyone to reply with "Aww what happened?" and act like they really care. Sigh... people please stop posting those types of updates!

A buddy of mine from college posts statuses that I find very clever and/or hilarious; they usually make me smile. Here's a few from the past couple days:
- "Fact: Daylight savings was invented so farmers wouldn't miss American Idol."
- "It's beautiful outside today. I should really get off the couch and watch youtube on the front porch."
- "Guys, check this out. Look at a package of Keebler cookies. See those elves? Now look closer. Yup. Those photos are faked. Discuss"
One of my friends posted a very similar status on facebook, last week. Then he started chatting my fiance and asking him to mail him money so he could fly home from London. We knew our friend wasn't there, turned out someone hacked his account....creepy.
I personally can't stand that ones that are so desperately crying for attention like: "I'm such a screw up. No wonder nobody wants to date me." Especially if I'm not really THAT close to the person. Like really, what am I supposed to say to that?
Side note: there's a morning show on the radio called Bobby Bones (mostly in Kansas and Texas I think) and he used to do a segment with odd facebook statuses. Some of them are just absurd!
actually that emergency one - is a spam. her account got hacked - message her and let her know so she can change her password.
@mountaingirl: My grandma got a phone call like that! Sorry, a bit off topic but it was really scary. Whoever it was pretended to be her grandson and claimed they really needed money right away so they could fly to London. Scary.
There is one guy that always says goodnight and good morning to facebook people, I find that not odd...just really annoying. Good job you woke up again today. Also, this same guy once talked about how is wife was on her period and came back from the store with a ton of chocolate. Seriously, don't need to know that.
The oddest status I have seen:
:"I am about to go have make up sex with my boyfriend".
I have friends that only post when bad things happen to them. I tend to post about what I've been working on with the wedding or baking lately or when FI makes something delicious...I guess if you're not interested in food or my wedding it could get boring haha!
FB friends with a girl from middle school who is forever posting ridiculous LONG status updates about her deadbeat baby daddy. Anyway- a week or so ago, she posted- and I kid you not- a picture of a Kleenex with a big yellow glob of whatever she caughed up asking, 'is this normal, or should i go to the doctor's?'.
And then there's the ladies who post every 5 minutes on what their baby is doing. Honestly, I don't know what's worse. Who Cares!!! Haha.
I have a girl on my FB who posts the prices of her newly purchased home decor items under her photos. This is the same girl who also has over 350 albums for EVERYTHING under the sun
"New Vase - Winners, $25"
"New Coach sandals "$200"
These are just a few examples, but my FH and I have a good chuckle reading these.
A girl I know posts in letters like ThEsE all the time (annoying and you're not in middle school anymore) and at the end of EVERY status she says she loves or misses her boyfriend and inserts his name.
oh and the same girl will list what she did today
"wow busy day - sweeped, mopped, cleaned the walls, washed the floors, did laundry, took the dogs for a walk, made dinner" blah blah BLAH
oh my goodness, don't we all do a lot of these things on a daily/weekly basis? She wants us to know how busy her life is...
The postings about people needing money wired to an account usually mean their FB was hacked, its happened to friends of friends. So be careful with that!
we might have some mutual friends because I definitely have the baby updaters and the baby daddy drama girl as friends! 
I have a friend on FB from high school who only posts about her pack of children (seriously, she's my age (26) and has 6 kids!) and how horrible it is having to work (although, when she's on vacation she posts complaining about having to be home with the kids!).
The two that annoy me the most- the friend who posts 20 times a day about missing her daughter or her wife because she's working/their somewhere other then where she is and the guy I know from high school who fights- at least once a day!- on FB with his girlfriend, both in words and via pictures!
Oh man, someone mentioned lamebook, there goes the rest of my night. I can easily spend an hour on that site.
I haven't seen any real failures, but sometimes I'll get someone complaining about their SO, saying "I'm cleaning the bathroom and "insert name here" is sleeping, WTF is wrong with this picture!" She's always complaining about him for the most ridiculous things...
Anyway, also, I can't stand the stupid party pictures (red cups) and pictures of girls wearing sunglasses indoors. It just boggles my mind...
OMG kid you not...weirdest post was from an ex college boyfriend who got married within three months of meeting this girl and then subsequently divorced and left her and put everything up on his facebook status...it went something like this:
-Woke up to go spend the rest of my life with the woman I love
(3 months later)
-I can't do this anymore
-I have to leave
-i can't believe she did this to me
-I just can't take it anymore
-I'm leaving
-thus begins my journey back to the home where I grew up
(he also treked his journey driving from Seattle,WA to St. Louis, MO...)
It was soooooo weird!
I have a friend who's in law school and posts a limerick about every case he studies. Which is more awesome than weird, actually, especially as the limericks are pretty good.
Btw the cryptic status updates is called "vaguebooking". That's your fun filled fact of the day.
There's one girl I'm about to hide from my homepage because every post she makes is "woe is me" "my life is so terrible" ....No....no it's not. Stop being such a drama queen.
And another girl who posts stuff about how people need to stay out of her business and stop talking about her....you can't really tell people to stay out of your business when you post it all over your facebook for everyone to see...
Ugh, I have so many status stars as friends on facebook.
One memorable lamebook-worthy thing was back when a former coworker was CONSTANTLY arguing with his baby's momma (also a coworker and thus also a FB friend) and then getting back together with her. I'm not joking, it was literally every day that he or she posted some status about "WHAT A LOWLIFE PIECE OF SH!T MY BABY'S DADDY IS I CAN'T BELIEVE HE DIDN'T DO XYZ FOR ME AND OUR BABY" and then the next day, one of them would be posting about how "My Baby's Daddy is THE BEST, He did XYZ and now we're cuddling at home!!!!!!!!", VERY OFTEN including some too-explicit mentions of "how great last night was" or "I love making up ;) " or something to that effect. This constant bipolar stream was on my mini-feed for at least two months. It drove me insane. Their friends and family were so embarrassed for them, too, when they didn't have the class to be embarrassed for themselves, since they were constantly responding to their status with comments like, "Guys, calm down, some things are meant to remain private," etc. The couple now, fortunately, has worked things out and are expecting another baby...but unfortunately there are still way too many, "I just love my baby! He is cuddling with me here on the couch!!" sorts of 'who gives a crap' statuses from them.
Another really awkward one was when a stupid, crass ex-boyfriend of mine posted an update about how he was "Going to get some action tonight!!!" right after he changed his relationship status to "In a Relationship". Then new girlfriend got on and made some giggly, insincere comment about how inappropriate it was but how she'd forgive it because he was so sexy. Ew, are you serious? Keep your new relationship lust to yourselves, it just grosses everyone else out.
A third I can think of is a former coworker who constantly posted way too many details about her infertility treatments for all of facebook to see. No, I don't want to know about how your hormone shots are affecting your uterus, really.
Oh and one more. One of FI's best friends has a serious problem with alcoholism which has screwed up his life in a number of considerable ways. Instead of the run-of-the-mill vaguebooking, he posts vaguely depressing song lyric statuses. EVERY DAY. He has never posted a status that was NOT a song lyric. It's not even like he's a musician or anything. He's just a hipster-bro (http://blog.woome.com/hipster-profile-of-the-week-the-hipster-bro/) who kinda screwed up his life.
There is someone on my facebook that always posts the worst stuff. I have had to block her updates because they annoy me so much.
-She is constantly posting about how horrible her job is and how her boss can't see what a powerful, awesome person she is. I think that's pretty nuts since she has a high up job at a college and I'm sure lots of people see those updates.
-She share TMI about her 4 year old daughter all the time. I blocked her status updates after she posted "B is experiencing painful groin pain. Taking her to the pediatrician" That one really outraged me.
-She also posts about her husband who she calls "my willow" and she refers to herself as "the oak" because she is so strong and mighty.
This is really just the some of the things she says. Really aggrevates me!
Oh and another girl who I went to college with had a baby last year. After the baby was born she kept posting all these updates about breastfeeding and her leaking breasts. Can we say TMI!
I girl I went to high school with put on facebook that both her children were basically mistakes. TMI!!!
ahahahaha. People are so weird.
I have this one "friend" from HS who friended me and her FB usage annoys me. She updates VERY frequently and almost usually 10 different things at once which then means she takes up my whole wall. I'm thisclose to unfriending her. I have no patience for that crap.
Or I love when a certain girl always updates her status about how's she's at the gym 4/7 days of the week. Complaining about the pampered suburban trophy wives who don't belong at the gym. Seriously, you ARE the trophy wife wannabe who absolutely does not have the body of someone who goes to the gym that often!!
Rant over.
I have a friend from college who is updating his status about every 2 minutes. I'm not lying. My entire homepage is FILLED with his posts. I have to block him b/c i don't care that he's at open mic night and thinks we all should be there to watch the silly girls drool over him b/c he plays guitar and sings. I. DON'T. CARE.
Hehe...thanks for that!
"I'm so sad! WAH WAH WAH" Literally like every day. I want to tell them to stop being so damn pitiful. And they wonder why they're still single, eh?
"OMG I LOVE HIM SOOO MUCh. I LOVE MY SOULMATE". Gag
The "omg i was a slut and got wasted last night" type posts....I don't need to know.
Also, people who post about their children's poo and other unfortunate things I don't need to know about.
Or, anytime I post I'm "in a good mood" or "having a good day" or something vague yet happy (i'm just in a good mood, ok?) people start posting, "OMG are you pregnant?!"
What?!
I don't hide people, I just delete them if their statuses get that annoying. I have no mercy. There's a guy from college that I had on there, but he would write on my wall everyday with messages like, "Hey, what's up?" Or pop up in FB chat the second I logged on. It got so annoying to I deleted him. He then friended me OVER and OVER again to the point that I finally just had to block him compeltely.
This girl I went to HS with posted that she wasn't enough dilated!!!! She was about to give birth. When I saw it all I was able to imagine is the doctor doing the exam and her with the computer on her stomach waiting for the answer so she could post it!
