FB vent

I really don't understand the point of "checking in" everywhere you go.  A FB friend from HS is ridiculous, yesterday she checked in AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT! Seriously? I don't care that you are sitting at a traffic light, or that you just got Starbucks for the 2nd time today, after going through a car wash!  I don't mind every once and a while, but get the F over yourself! lol Vent over.  :-)

    I hate when people hardly ever use facebook...but the second they go on vacation you get minute by minute updates about how awesome their vacation is.

    Yea, that's a little much on the checking in.  And I have the same kind of friends that Telyco posted about, checking in all over the place while they're on vacation.  I didn't want to let anyone know we were on vacation (I'm paranoid like that) so no checking in for me.

    I don't get why you would want to advertise that you're out of town and your house is empty.  I don't even post ahead of time when I'm going to Syracuse to visit my family...even though most of the time DH is still home.

    And here's a prime example of why.  A year or so ago, a girl we went to high school showed up on the news because they were looking for her.  She's a con artist and had stolen a truck and money from someone.  Someone turned her in and I'm pretty sure she's currently in jail.  A few weeks ago she showed up on facebook and is now friends with a ton of my school friends.  So, people are friending a known con artist and then letter her know when the house is empty.

    yep, I hate people who update on FB multiple times a day period. A check-in or status update once or even a couple times a day is fine, but people who update 4, 5+ times a day is just annoying. I have blocked sooo many people from my news feed because I was sick of hearing every single thing they did alllll day long!

    Even worse are the people who just over share details.... I had one friend who was constantly bashing her ex-husband and boyfriend all day long. It was so annoying.

    DH's cousin does this! She calls her ex-husband a deadbeat, DB, and many other colorful words, and the worst part is she is fb friends with her own kids so they see this stuff about their father.
