Oh FB

mkrupar

This was the status of one of my friends. I'm tempted to ask what honorary groomsmen mean.

"To those dear friends I have asked to be in my lineup for the wedding... Jenn and I have decided to have a small wedding... we will have 4 groomsmen and 3 honorary groomsmen. Please don't think we are any less of friends!"

I was shocked. I can only imagine he other gems he's going to post through the whole planning process. I am tempted to send him and his FI here to you ladies so you can set them straight. I did remind him that being a guest is also an honor.

He's the same person that announced he was proposing on FB, BEFORE he actually did it. I think I said something along the lines of I hope your GF isnt on FB nor anyone else that would tell her this.

I hate these. I have a friend that always has to talk about starbuck trips, making dinner, working out, more starbucks trips. It's like c'mon man. I don't care that you had six double chai lattes today! (I don't know if that's even a drink, makes sense in my head though)

Do the "honorary GMs" know that they are the honorary ones?  Or are all the GMs just sitting around like....is it me?  Did I get demoted? haha.

Seriously!  I'm thisclose to de-friending a girl I barely knew in elementary school who does a stream of consciousness update roughly every hour on the hour.  Problem is she doesn't lead an interesting life so her updates go roughly like this:<div>
</div><div>"Just woke up going to go feed the baby then DH is off to work hope it doesn't rain today."</div><div>
</div><div>"DH left for work baby is fed now fixen to go drop the kids off at school then gonna watch Regis."</div><div>
</div><div>"Fixen to take a nap now that the baby is napping lol hope I can do some laundry later."</div><div>

I have so many FB friends that do this and it drives me nuts.  I seriously need to do some FB friend deleting.  I've said for a while now that I'm going to post on FB with literally everything i do in a day. 
"Just woke up and went pee."
"Walked downstairs and made a cup of coffee."
"Let the dog out and picked up his poop."
"Sat on the couch and am flipping through the channels."

And then carry on all day, just to see how many people get the point.

Wow.  People make me sad.  The world was a brighter place before people could share their every thought publically.  I'm sure people were idiots before, but we didn't have to have it so obviously shoved in our faces!

Where the heck have you been??

aerinpegadrak

Yesterday was National Unfriend Day, you can celebrate it belatedly.  DH deleted nearly 200 people.

I don't mind the stream-of-consciousness stuff from people I'm really close to, like my sisters.  I enjoy knowing what's going on with them day-to-day, it makes me feel like they're not so far away.  But everyone else who does that can suck it.  I do a LOT of skimming of my news feed.

Definitely send him here.  Oy.

Beachy730

Yeah aerin some people I don't mind, but I don't understand the point of telling exactly what your day is like.  Specific post: "work, tutoring, driving home, making dinner, going to bed."  Seriously, who cares?  And that same girl posts that every single work day. 

banana468

I think it's the over-the-line stream of consciousness that bugs me the most.

I don't need to know when your 3 yo has diarrhea!

banana468

Ugh.

I really don't though!  Unless there's the potential that my child is exposed, I don't need to know - and I certainly don't need a FB update of it!

I'm not posting TMI updates on pregnancy about reflux or any fluid-like substances that come out.  That's just too much info.

Even FIL thought I was over the line when I posted that I "swaggered" one day because I was forced to wear DH's deodorant when I ran out of mine.

Hey!  I went away on vacation and came back to realize that I'd fallen wayyyy behind while I'd been away, so I've been treading water like crazy the past couple of weeks.  I can't believe the end of term is like a month away!!

Did I miss anything exciting?

I have the overwhelming urge to punch your FB friend in the face. That's how they are breaking the news. Sounds like a great friend to me.

On the other topic I have way to many of those friends that post constant crap about their kids, the weather, their religion, or how they are cutting their toenails then eating a sandwich. I did a "defriending" not too long ago and posted that I was going to do it. If you checked back and we weren't "friends" it was because you drove me crazy with your crappy status updates. It made me feel happy.

The Mel and Todd Show

I'm really irritated when people "check in" at various places.  The only reason I care to know your exact location is so I can go kill you while you're there or rob you while I know you're away from your house.  And since I lack the energy for violence and have a moral compass that won't allow me to follow through on such things, there's just no reason at all for me to know.

One day at work I "checked in" out loud every time I moved to try to drive this point home to some of the fb offenders in the office.  "I'm at the door!"  "I'm near the printer" "I'm in my aisle" "I'm in my cube" "Sitting down!"  All day.  ALL DAY.  They didn't get it.

I would have given a big thumbs up to that one.

bdulli13

The worst part though, about the check in app, is that people can check YOU in at places if you don't have it blocked in all the right places. Why would I want someone ELSE to be able to announce that I am not at home, and that someone should come and rob me to all THEIR friends? That's just insane!

[QUOTE]Mkrupar, you're a good person for not responding directly to the status update with how you really feel.  There are definitely friends on my friends list that are there simply to be mocked when I'm bored.  I wasn't going to admit to that because admitting to being biitchy just for the sake of being biitchy seems mock worthy in itself, but whatever.  If they're idiots, someone should tell them.  I'm that someone.  P.S. I love your puppy.  I want to snuggle his face. 
Posted by The Mel and Todd Show[/QUOTE]

I love my pup too. He's the cuddliest (is that a word?) of our four dogs.

You're right though, some people just need to be told their being dumb. I block people that only update with scripture quotes as well. I don't need to be converted, and I won't look to FB for spiritual advice, thanks so much.

Stage - I would have loved to have seen that status. I would have liked it just like Brooke.

marissa_claire

Yikes am I late to this discussion!  On the check-in note, though, I had a "friend" say the other day that she "checked-in" at Walmart.  Seriously?  Let me know if you're at something big, not that you're picking up diapers.
