The pathetic facebook status thread.

[Orbert]

I've got a friend who posts stupid shit like that all the time.  The latest warnings and urban myths and other brainless shit that people with normal IQs could see through in half a second.  I've moved him to a special group of people I still like but can't deal with their updates on a regular basis.  That list is growing, too.  It's so sad.

Like if you love peanut butter, ignore if you want Betty White to get cancer.

 

I got an invite to a group once that had a picture of the host and his old grandma. The title of the page read "If I get a million likes, my grandma promises not to die".

I'm glad I don't get as much. But this was the first to make want to say something about how dumb it is. Who doesn't know what a Barbeque is? That alone reveals either they think we're that dumb, or its intended target audience (which is sad if a lot of people like the page)

I honestly stopped caring about FB photos, but I do post videos or songs I would like others to hear with a comment that describes the video or lyrics. I use it mainly for my community news, as that's whom I mainly have as friends.

Shit like this  :

" Omg...I....Just......I can't.....What.....nope......I .....can't....I...."

  SPEAK FUCKING ENGLSH. FINISH YOUR GOD DAMNED SENTENCES. OR FUCK OFF.

I usually don't get pathetic FB statuses firsthand, but this one was a

Is on cloud 9 right now. Comment to get me to say why

Or you could not be an attention seeker, and just tell us. That's the whole point of making a post. Are we supposed to care so much about your life that holding your comment hostage for the ransom payment of attention is good motivation? If people care, they'll comment or like it.

Wow. If I had a friend who posted something like that, I'd either block or delete them immediately.

[Orbert]

I have a number of friends -- and they really are friends, people I've known for years -- who I've removed from my Newsfeed.  It's just easier that way.  I don't see their stupid crap, I don't end up wondering why I'm still friends with them.  I used to delete people like that, but blocking them works just as well, so whatever.

Edit: Holy crap, I just realized that I posted basically the same thing two months ago.  Some things never change.

I'm more inclined to do that too. This guy is a friend who I don't get to see very often these days, and I wouldn't unfriend him over one post.
Sometimes you're close enough to someone to want to keep a line of contact with them, but may not want to see everything they post. And people's behaviour is different between FB and real life too, so someone might bother you with what they post on FB, but in real life they're fine.

[Orbert]

Exactly.  Mostly, it's political stuff.  I have a friend whose political leanings are pretty much the opposite of mine, and when we're together, we avoid political talk.  But on Facebook, he's always posting the latest crap that his side has fed him, and I just get sick of it.  Then there's these female friends that are always posting about lost dogs and Amber alerts and even stupid urban legends.  Bleah.  I love how easy it is to just remove them from the Newsfeed.

Yeah, my mom posts a lot of that urban legends stuff and like 4 respect stuff  But it's all good, I post a lot of music that I'm listening to, so there has to be a counterbalance somewhere.

[Orbert]

That's the thing.  Every once in a while, I feel like raging "I don't care about lost dogs, kids with birth defects, or what you think Obama has done to any particular group!"  Then I realize that there are probably people who think my jokes are stupid and don't give a damn about the stuff I post, either.  Everyone uses social networking differently.

So, because I care, I simply ignore them.

Yeah, I had to take my cousin's (whom I'm actually really close with) posts off my news feed. She shares about 30 incredibly dumb posts a day and it's incredibly annoying.

[Kotowboy]

What I find mad is that twitter has a 1,000 tweet a day limit -

- and some kids have TWO accounts because they continually go over the limit and feel the need to keep posting useless shit.

  Dear God.

There is a special hell for people that post Bitstrips.

That's going to be one hell of a crowded afterlife.

I had a couple of music friends who posted really entertaining ones using injokes, but for the most part they're awful.

Me too.  I don't post them a lot, but sometimes if there's (IMO) a really funny one.

Every time I log into Facebook anymore I have to fight the urge to just delete my account.

I enjoy it because it allows me to easily keep in touch with people that I normally would not.  But I've just seen enough bullshit to last the rest of my life.

Everyone's love of this giraffe riddle is annoying the living shit out of me.  Clearly, I open my mouth first to tell my wife to answer the goddamn door.

Or you open your eyes, since it's 3 AM and people are knocking on your door while you're asleep.

My buddy did it wonderfully by posting a pic of a giraffe fucking a donkey

[Ben_Jamin]

The Giraffe....The Giraffe.....Funny now how it turned into a conspiracy thing now.

I find it funny people are actually changing their pictures. I'd just say, no. You can't force me to change my pic.

Haha, someone should put a pic of miley cyrus with her giraffe hair and toungue.

I guess I don't understand the whole giraffe thing.  In the past two days, I've had two different Facebook friends change their Profile Pics to giraffes.  Cartoon giraffes.  What up wit dat?

I believe there is some "riddle" people are posting which says that if you get it wrong you have to change your profile picture to a giraffe of some sort. I didn't think many people would actually be doing it though.

Me either.  Almost everyone I know changed their profile pic.....

But you figure its about time a new Facebook fad appeared.
