Every single time I make a post on facebook - which isn't even very often - SOMEONE always takes it to a dark place.
My status this morning I wrote after watching Teen Mom.
"Aw - On last night's teen mom Catelyn & Tyler stayed at a B&B in Holly and went skiing at Mt. Holly."
I live in Holly. Catelyn and Tyler live about an hour and a half maybe 2 hours away from me.
Then a discussion comes out naturally as it does with people who watch the show about the things that went down... totally normal and cool.
Then suddenly my aunt replies, "WHY do people even watch this stuff, seriously? They are getting PAID."
Um duh?
The last time my aunt commented on something of mine it was about Teen Mom too!! I had a dream last week that my first placement (as a foster parent) was Leah, Amber and Gary's daughter. And I put that as my status and "lol I wonder why I dreamed that..." And this same aunt went off about how horrible it is that I even watch that show and that no one should watch it so they stop getting paid and some other random garbage.
Why on earth do people feel the need to be argumentative on fb?? What does it get these people? And obviously SHE watches it too if she knows who Amber and Gary and Leah are....??
Re: Negative Nancy's on Facebook!!! (rant)
Change your settings so she can't comment on your status updates. I did this to a nosy-a$$ relative once and then played dumb like I didn't know how to fix it when they mentioned they couldn't leave (stupid) comments on my wall.
:-P
Agreed. I took a 6 month break from it and I'm leaning towards making it a much more permanent break.
I just don't understand people. They are so rude and don't have any filter whatsoever. I would NEVER go on someone's facebook and comment stupid crap... ever. I don't understand why people have the audacity to do such a thing. It would be considered rude for one to speak their mind that openly out loud... why is it okay to do it on the internet? Facebook just creates so many stupid issues. And, people feel very strongly that they absolutely *should* be able to write whatever negative and rude thing that comes to mind.

Dang!! I just went in to change the settings and they have changed it yet again --- I can make it so that she can't see my posts, but I will have to exclude her personally in every post.

WTH!!!!!
Mind your own dang business. That annoys me beyond belief. I am ALL for people caring what their tax money goes towards, absolutely... but FOR REALS? PICK YOUR BATTLES PEOPLE! Wow. That is not something I would waste my money on fighting.
And a fb fight? Don't people realize they look absolutely ridiculous? O.O

i hate people that just seem to want to pick a fight and go against the grain just to do it.
also can you please take care of leah???
My aunt does that too. WHY THE AUNTS? I posted a cute picture of my dog licking my face, and she told me that she had a friend whose dog bit their cheek and they had to have reconstructive surgery.
Really?
Gosh I wish I could... she does look like she is well fed and clean though in every episode... I do have to say that. And they never spank her... they just REALLY expose her to a lot of things that are out of control and in no way safe for a child to be around.

This kind of stuff is exactly what I'm talking about. Why do people do crap like that??

Sometimes I think it's a generation thing. I never have any problem with people my age or younger.
I *really* love Pinterest!
OMG. That is AWFUL!
I have some one like that as well. I've just blocked her and ignore any comments she makes. Regardless of what comment is written she has to leave some snarky negative comment. I express gratitude for days both girls are in school and she responses with something about how much she loves having her boys home... Yet, she won't actually talk to me whenever I see her at family gatherings. She talks to DH, my girls, my MIL, everyone else except me. So grateful I don't have to deal with her often.
We live far from family and friends (not even in the same time zones) and that's the only reason I haven't deleted it completely.
