Facebook pet peeve

Alicebean · January 2010

Someone (who has 980 friends mind you) wrote as her status message "praying for my cousin who is going to rehab... finally! I love you {name}"

Ummm, that's something that is pretty personal and doesn't need to be near 1,000 peoples business. Also, why bother directing it towards him? He's in rehab and will not be on facebook to see your message to him. Just admit you are being an AW.

It's like the people who write "I'll miss you grandma!" because she died. She's dead. She will not be checking up on your facebook status message.

End rant, lol.

ha ha...i totally agree...esp if they have their status open to everyone, not just the 1,000+ friends they have:)

i refused to be one of the mothers-to-be that was posting my dilation status on FB so i chose not to say anything about being 'with child' until i uploaded a picture of my diaper bag at 20weeks pregnant...i just let everyone figure it out at that point:)

i completely agree. It drives me nuts. I mean every status put up is to get attention but when they are sympothy driven, it's the worst. They want people to feel sorry for them and THAT is sad.

Here is my FB rant of the day....I am getting pretty tired of those posts that say "if you love your mom, repost", "if you have the greatest kid, repost", "if you know an idiot", "support breast cancer", etc. etc. etc. The first one I ever saw was regarding breast cancer. I work with cancer patients and am a HUGE supporter of breast cancer research, but really, what is your status going to do for the cause unless you actively do something like encourage women to get mammograms, participate in walks, donate, etc. And I know most of us love our mothers, and our kids. It's just getting old.....

This exactly thank you!

Another one is these ridiculous groups. I saw on my news feed my sister joined "1 MILLION NEEDED: PETITION TO GET LIL WAYNE OUT OF JAIL" or something like that. Seriously, lil sis?

UGH! This! I hate them. It's like obnoxious email forwards but on FB.

Ugh! I totally empathize with your irritation over the posts that people put up to supposedly support different causes. When people were posting their bra colors...I could've reached through my screen and throttled my female friends. How could they not have more sense than that? Seriously - they were NOT supporting the breast cancer cause: they were using Facebook (yet again) as a vehicle to appear provocative to guys in the hopes that they'd be mentally pictured in their underwear. Shameful.

KatieLW · January 2010

Hilarious! I totally agree with everything said

I actually , just now, posted this as my status:

While I'm totally down with Breast Cancer Awareness, well, is there really anyone NOT aware of breast cancer? There are other, deadlier, more aggressive, less studied cancers. Just sayin'.

My biggest pet peeve is when 12 year olds who are too young to have a myspace or facebook account in the first place, post photos of themselves provocatively dressed, in their underwear or in provocative poses. . .and the 17 year olds that post photos of themselves holding beer bottles. REALLY? Where are the parents? And, while I am not saying it's their fault, but they actually wonder WHY they get stalked or worse. . .

That is exactly the thing that bothers me. DH actually made up a funny repost message about tacos to make fun of it and some of his friends (who post those messages to begin with) actually posted his taco status! Too funny!

This was his post: Put this on your status if you like tacos. Tacos are awesome and taste really good. It does not matter whether you prefer the soft or hard shell variety. Oh how I pray for a taco in 2010. I bet 93% WON'T Copy and Paste this?.Will YOU?????

I am laughing my butt off....sorry tell your DH I stole his status and posted it as my own. Funniest thing Ive heard all day! Big Smile

I'm going to vent and post one of my FB pet peeves here--the people who are obvious AWs/begging for people's comments, etc. For example, one of my FB friends is 7 wks pregnant. Her DH had the stomach flu this weekend and she caught it from him (on top of having bad m/s), so she "had to go" to the ER for fluids. But yet she had the time and strength to post updates the whole way there and back. Maybe it's just me, but if I was so violently ill that I needed to go to the ER, posting that info on FB, even if was via my cell phone, would be the LAST thing on my mind.

this exactly...i have a friend of a friend who had to take her daughter to the ER for an 'emergency' and did the same thing...then didnt answer her phone/texts for 6 hours...

kmwills · January 2010

I hate the pregnant FB AWs. I have a three FB friends who are also expecting, and their statuses are always something to do with being pregnant....always so hungry, but I have an excuse!....What good is a sciatic nerve anyway....can't they just remove it?....omg...my pants are getting tight...can you see my baby bump? GRRRRR!!! Annoying!!!

Ready2006 · January 2010

I really think I'm gonna like 2nd tri! I agree with all of you ladies. The C&P status, the AW status, the TMI status, the political statement status (like gloating or being a sore loser after an election--MA, I'm looking at you)....all not cool.

themrs830 · January 2010

My favorite are (these are posts one of my "friends" actually did today, BTW):

10:59am- just woke up. think i'm gonna have a sandwich for breakfast

11:15am- that was a good sandwich. guess i better shower so i aint late for work!

11:40am- def gonna be late for work today

12:17pm- ugh work is soooooo boring

1:34pm- think i should take an early lunch break? gettin hungry here <this one got 43 comments>

Ok, not only are you the laziest piece to walk the earth, but if you didn't spend so much time telling people crap they don't need to know on FB you probably could have made it to work on time.

Laura0575 · January 2010

Oh my GOD I hate it when people b!tch about their jobs. I want to strangle them while screaming "AT LEAST YOU HAVE A JOB!!!"
