lurkers on FB are creepier than lurkers on here

ghm · July 2011

I basically deleted anyone from FB that I once was friends with that I never communicated with on there (from liking things, to comments, messages, chat, etc) besides family that I basically CAN"T delete now. Anywho, I find it super creepy when people tell me they saw "XYZ" on my FB yet have never once said a damn thing on there.

My FIL got a profile just to see my page and for some reason I accepted his friendship. I guess I should just chalk it up to being a different generation, but it's super creepy when one of them say they got on to look at my page and then comment on something I said...and I mean, they don't say it on there, but bring it up 2 months later in person, like they look back through everything. I have a few relatives who also do the same thing.

IDK, please just file this away in "GHM's a little off today and is saying stupid ***." But feel free to let me know you find it creepy, too!

I agree, creepy! I deleted all my work friends because I was creeped when I walked into work after the weekend and they would bring up a status, but didn't comment on the post.

My Mom and Dad both do this! I'm always telling them to stop being such lurkers!

Yep, my mom is my FB stalker. I will post something and 5 minutes later I get a call from her about it.

Really? So everytime you post on FB, everyone who reads it on their newsfeed needs to comment? What should they do if they don't want to comment? Shield their eyes when they scroll down the feed? Get over yourself. I think what really bothers you is that you aren't getting enough comments on your wall after your what I am sure are oh so fascinating status updates.

WTF?

No, I don't think that, but I sure as hell think it's creepy when you've never posted anything on anyone's wall yet know everything that goes on.

Go to hell.

Ruh roh. Appears I've touched a nerve here. Truth hurts, huh? Go to Hell because I disagree with you? Mmmkay. You must be an absolute peach in real life.
