Facebook... WHY HAVE I JOINED YOU??????

Postby G.I.Jim » Sat May 22, 2010 12:51 pm

Damn, I just signed up for Facebook today and people post about ANYTHING! I see shit like:

"Going to a movie tonight with my man"

"Don't feel well, I think I'll lay down for a while"

"Taking the dog for a walk"

"Going to the grocery store for some milk"

Holy HELL, what have I got myself into? :shock: :lol: I have a niece who is a drama queen, and she'll post something ten times a day. She is either "OMG... My boyfriend is over and it's the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!!!", or "I hate my life... Life sucks so bad. how can life be so cruel???". :roll: All of these type posts can come in just one day. The poor girl is just trying to find love, but she smothers the SHIT out of anyone she's around. :(

Oh well... I think I'll be in touch with some people I went to school with, so it'll be cool! :wink:

Honestly... blame Twitter. FB didn't start encouraging status updates until Twitter came around.

An easy fix is to hide the people who post that kind of thing a lot (hover over the status and the Hide button appears), but then you do miss out on their status updates in your feed should they ever actually say something important...

Well then my niece and your niece must be sisters, well, 'cept mine's half Asian. Anywhooo, she is a screaming drama queen Diva from hell...she hates her boyfriend, she loves her boyfriend, and the cursing, whooo! Off the roof! Join the club.

As for what I post, anything about my writing and sometimes nothing at all, so I am guilty. It is a guilty pleasure I think. Except people who post their food plates, okay that kind of creeps me out. Someone recently posted a big ole slab of beef and a large lobster tail..:shock:

I have a few people on my friends list that are like that too. The ones that really piss me off are the people that only post about their health problems-15 times a day. have a few that I have hidden because I figured even if they did say something of importance I wouldn't give a damn anyway.

Oh yea, that too. But, then I posted about visiting a funeral home for pre-plans for my mom, so I am guilty yet again. It's a way to vent AND a guilty pleasure. Perhaps. I don't know. :D Have a nice weekend, see ya on FB! MBPL :wink:

Isn't it past your bedtime? :lol: You are partially correct though. :wink: That, and my whole homesickness thing I have going on right now has me wanting to re-connect to people I haven't seen or talked to in 16 years. I'm going to create a "Cold Heart" Facebook page too within a week or so too. I guess I'll have to manage both of them! :shock: :lol:

:lol: :lol: What's funny is that my wife has taken pictures of a couple of meals I've cooked and posted them on there. :lol: She does that because she has a few friends that are single, and she always rubs it in to them that I do pretty much all the cooking. :lol: Sometimes I go all out and prepare the plates chef style with garnishes and set the table with rolled napkins, silverware and glasses of wine to make it look all official. THAT's when she does that. :lol: :wink:

Most of Wife's nieces and nephews are so into it, that her wall stays full. She only goes on it around ten at night, when they're all off to somewhere else. She treats it like a family newspaper that she can read every evening and catch up on the latest gossip. Her Japanese friends are the only one she will chat with but that usually turns into a phone call once a week, which is cool.

I am actually not friends with my wife on FB. She has all her wall clutter and I have mine, no need to combine the two.

We have a few connected friends from Japan and some of my old service buddies but I'm only connected to a few of her nieces and that's enough. One person at work who I'm good friends with and a few high school pals rounds out my list. My Friends list has grown to 30 and even that seems too much for me. I don't want to be friends with people that I'm not really friends with, if you know what I mean. I post for photos once in awhile but I'm not into the whole Wall thing. Since a lot of my friends are in different time zones (New Zealand, Japan, Thailand, East Coast, England) I don't chat that much either.

For the most part I've really enjoyed facebook. It's been a great way to connect and reconnect with some people in a unique way and it's been a positive experience.

But what annoys me are a handful of friends, men and women, who are engaged or married and use it as a place to flirt or brag or go on and on with each other in mushy gushy love sick ways :lol: I mean I'm a woman and it's annoying to me!! :lol: I mean one guy from high school is engaged to a woman 15 years younger. So he's just loving posting all these pics of her constantly with the mushy adjectives and talk back and forth between them and hello! If you are together at a romantic dinner, do you need to give us the play by play and what it's leading up to?? To me he's just bragging "look what i got" :lol: even some of the married couples do the little flirty banter back and forth too and to me that stuff is private. I don't find it cute. I find it nauseating. One engaged girl just "can't sleep when he's working at night because she misses him in bed so much" :roll: barf!! :lol: I like romance as much as the next girl but the fluffy, he/she is so perfect, how lucky am I stuff is annoying!!! Keep it in the bedroom people!!! :lol:

ok, rant over! I do love facebook though! :lol:

Ugh I've seen ADULT women like this :lol: Had a co-worker who did this and then of course spewed the drama surrounding the "break-up" all over FB. There's a huge difference between saying you "gave it all" and smothering, lol. She stopped when another co-worker finally pointed that out to her and told her to "grow up", lol.

The games can be a little fun time passer if bored, lol. I'm still trying to figure out how the grow marijuana in Farmville so I can sell it in Mafia Wars :twisted: :lol:

Agreed 1000% :lol: I embarassed my sister-in-law with this at a family get together after she posted on FB "It's so hot to see my husband mopping the kitchen in his underwear" :roll: :lol: and I told her does she know how yucky that is to read when that husband happens to be my baby brother? :x :lol: Her friends had even responded to it stuff like "Ooohhh, can he come over and mop my kitchen when he's done??" :shock: barf! :lol: She doesn't do that so much anymore :lol:

I have enjoyed FB too though with catching up with childhood and high school friends, but especially keeping connected easier with family. Like someone mentioned above it's like a "family newspaper", lol. I have a huge family, and so we're all in different places of course, and it's just neat to keep up with each other, even just the little things in life, lol. I think I have 70-something on mine, and most are family. Like mentioned above, no one is on there that I don't "know". I heard a report not too long ago talking about the FB trend of people having hundreds or thousands of "friends" on their pages, when in reality supposedly humans are only capable of having an actual true personal friendship or true personal relationship of any kind, be it family or whatever, with about 150 people, and that's it.

I fuckin hate reading people's bullshit 24/7 as well. I mainly talk sports with my buddies and have debates other than that, FB status's are sickening. Here's a few from mine:

wwjd? i think jesus would say fuck it lets eat christys and please deepfry my homefries


holy greys anatomy! i honestly have pains in the chest


what the fuck.....fuck people


I hate men ..enough said


first day in the hospital...i like out paients sooo much better. got called into work tonight cuz there is always something happening at the Tuesdays.


I seriously wish pill popping whores would keep runnin their mouths. I'm not 12 years old anymore, and can handle myself. Remember that.


Really wish I could sleep but no I have to listen to Todd play cod .. Fuckin boys



Pointless. Pure pointless.
