Oh, and by the way - for the people complaining aout the status thing..... I don't use My Space or Facebook, as evidenced by my last post, so maybe I'm wrong but.... don't you actually have to go TO the person's profile to see the status? If so, why do you GO to these profiles? Isn't it like, um, your fault that you get annoyed?

No you don't. Your friends' statuses show up on your page. Because the whole point of them is keeping up with your friends.

SnakeEyes · « **Reply #106 on:** July 03, 2009, 05:15:07 AM »

Okay. Is there an option to turn that off? Keeping up with your friends doesn't have to mean seeing what they're doing every 20 seconds of their lives.

"Just puked"

Dude. REALLY didn't need to know that!

One of my flat mates last year threw up on his hands and he couldn't get the smell out so he thought it would be a good idea to see if the rest of people in the flat would like to smell it.

I love reading peoples facebook status's. The only one that has EVER annoyed me, was this girl i used to know was doing some voluntary work alongside her normal job, and her status was like this:
"Jo is off to work followed by her voluntary work"
"Jo is at her voluntary work"
"Jo thinks voluntary work is good"
"Jo is tired of doing voluntary work and wonders why she gave up her time"
"Jo is at her voluntary job"
"Jo is enjoying volunteering"
"Jo is volunteering then going to work"
"Jo doesn't have any spare time as she's volunteering at the moment"
"Jo is a volunteer"
ALRIGHT WE GET THE FUCKING MESSAGE YOU'RE VOLUNTEERING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was updated atleast 5 times a day, and each time HAD to mention the words "Voluntary" or "Volunteering" or "volunteer"
Fucking hell that was annoying.

I don't see it as all that quality a move to play "omg look at what my friends wrote as their statuses, aren't they fucktards" behind their backs, but it seems that's just me.

Facebook friend =/= actual friend.

The FML's are the worst. I just don't understand. Yes there is a website with funny stories about how people's lives sometimes can suck. But to say it for the most inconsequential things is just stupid. It just screams look at me! Comment on my life! Please comment for me I NEED IT!!! Just a big pet peeve of mine I guess.

I enjoy a good FML if it's really funny, but the ones on facebook never ever are.

Is there an option to turn that off? Keeping up with your friends doesn't have to mean seeing what they're doing every 20 seconds of their lives.

I think you have an option for each friend, whether to get their posts or not. At least you do on facebook.

If you really hate them so much, why not put them on ignore? Or un-friend them? If they're really only a facebook friend, they probably won't even notice, and if they do, they probably won't even care.

But hey, then you wouldn't be able to keep on complaining about them, right?

Exactly. Seems like you're almost preying on them.

If you block them, they'll lose interest sooner than later.

Super Dude · « **Reply #128 on:** July 04, 2009, 06:20:50 AM »

I don't see the logic. For them to stop, all friends would have to block them; being blocked by one friend on Facebook is less significant than a hair on the screen.

Yeah, idk about myspace, but facebook you can block individual people from having their updates show up. Jamesman blocked me because of my heretical posts.

I finally saw a good use of FML on facebook!

"I'm going to be busy the evening the new monkey island is released. FML."

I was clever and made sure I had nothing on that evening.

Some chick who apparently goes to my school added me a couple weeks ago. I know nothing about her, but when I saw this just now "Thinks her family is retarded and just wants to be with Jason tonight." all I could think was

Note: She's a Sophomore I believe.

SnakeEyes · « **Reply #139 on:** July 05, 2009, 12:13:02 AM »

So, if you can change the settings for each user individually, why are you people complaining? How 'bout just, I don't know, removing the annoying friend's updates and, um, you won't have to see the annoying updates anymore?

Problem solved?
