people and facebook

Yes, old schoolmate, your baby is cute, but you really don't need to put an album up of 10 photos that are the same.  The slight difference between them is the baby moved it's head by 20 degrees.  Pick one or two and be done with it.  To my other friend, you probably shouldn't include in your status that you're going to beat up the chick that your boyfriend cheated on you with.  Especially if you decide to take him  back.  Now you just look like an idiot who likes abuse.

  • I *heart* Facebook, but only because I can put up wildly inappropriate status updates and watch random people I haven't seen since high school get all horrified and whatnot about it.

  • Yes, Guy from college, I know that you're really liberal.  I don't want to read every article you ever read.  You don't have to post them all.  One or two a day is plenty even for those of us who are also liberal.

    I know someone who posts pics of a baby like that on Facebook. The main problem I have with it is that the baby is REALLY ugly.

  • I enjoy clicking Like on people's links and statuses where it's not really appropriate.

  • dear half of my friends list: do you NEED to update everything about their baby? 24/7?  oh shes enjoying her peas? how lovely. oh now she's spit up her peas? totally neccessary to change your status.....i also had a friend who kept saying he was gonna break up with is gf, then when she finally broke up with him he posted every hour on the hour for days about how heartbroken he was.... i commented on his wall that "hes taking the right steps because i heard that posting about it constantly is the key step to getting over it" and he finally got the point and stopped. (no i dont feel bad, because hes been wanting to break up with her forever, and they broke up on wednesday and he already had some new skank sleeping over on friday)

    Im really starting to think some of the friends ive got need twitter more than facebook with the amount of asinine status updates they make 50million times a day. I do not care about every small occurance of your day.
  • Yes, old schoolmate, your baby is cute, but you really don't need to put an album up of 10 photos that are the same. The slight difference between them is the baby moved it's head by 20 degrees. Pick one or two and be done with it. ^This^. Only substitute "best friend" for "old schoolmate". Also, best friend, when you tell us {via status updates} what your douchey husband just said because you think it's cute, it's actually not, it just reinforrces what an asshat he is.I do have one college friend whose status updates are ALWAYS about the idiots she comes into contact with as an Admissions counselor at our college. They are priceless. She has several delightful updates a day.I only update my status when I'm going out of town for some reason.
  • I personally like the statuses that are Bible quotes. And they're signed "God." Hmm. How did you Friend God? And where can I get that link??

  • Amen, fish. I have a HS friend who always posts some stuff like "Really trying to look at the sky today" or "Keeping my head up even though it's so hard" and people are always like, "What's wrong, honey?" or "Smile!!! Jesus loves you!!!!" Drives me crazy. A) Why the hell are you so sad? B) Why the hell doesn't someone get you some help instead of giving you cyber hugs? It's so bizarre.
  • Yeah I hate when people update with their cell to say they're somewhere. "so and so is at jason's funeral"  Well sit down shut up and mourn you fuucking idiot.  Don't update your FB status.

  • I agree with Nebb - put that stuff on Twitter and let me decide if i want to see it or not.  Quit filling up my phone app with the trivality of your day!Big news, interesting stuff, funny bits, yes.  Trip to Starbucks, potty training sucesses, no.

    [i]Im really starting to think some of the friends ive got need twitter more than facebook with the amount of asinine status updates they make 50million times a day[/i] THIS. SO ANNOYING. I had to do "less of" for three people already because of it. I can't post pictures of aforementioned ugly baby, but let me just tell you that baby looks just like it's father. Which is NOT a good thing.

  • people that post sonogram pictures fall into the same category. and those who post them of their labor and delivery need to get kicked off of Facebook Island
  • Also people who brag about golf and pontoons and booze all the time make me jealous. * cough* you know who you are *cough*
  • These websites make me laugh.  Tons of inappropriate status updates:http://stfumarrieds.tumblr.com/http://stfuparents.tumblr.com/
  • The main problem I have with it is that the baby is REALLY ugly. That is unfortunate.I have a friend who posts about all the deals he closes, yet all of our friends know he is the biggest cheapskate around.
  • Yes Mandy, here are a couple I've put up over the last few months: NuggetBrain is making fried chicken because she's black, and that's all we eat. NuggetBrain is wondering why penises look bigger in gay porn than straight porn. NuggetBrain just found out that some dudes wax their balls and is wondering WTF. NuggetBrain wonders if doing it in the butt means you don't get constipated anymore, what with a bigger exit now and all.

  • Some chick I knew in high school posted: "Friend XXX is HATING yeast infections right now!" as her status.  Non-ironically.  Seriously, grow a filter.

  • nugget made my day.
  • I have a HS friend who always posts some stuff like "Really trying to look at the sky today" or "Keeping my head up even though it's so hard" and people are always like, "What's wrong, honey?" or "Smile!!! Jesus loves you!!!!" I had a friend of a friend that always did that, until I replied to their post "Stop being emo and suck it up.  If your life sucks that hard, start drinking."  Then they un-friended me.

  • Georgia thinks Nugget might already be her FB friend.
  • I am a status virgin. I have never had a status update in the 4+ years I've been on there.

  • Mandy, NuggetBrain is our funny token black person, like Stanley on The Office. Duh!
