I have one of these. It was a guy from high school that friended me a few weeks ago. He posts constantly about new and exciting business oportunities. I asked him if he just friended me to try to sell me shiit. He has not responded
I defriended someone yesterday. First she announced proudly that she didn't vote, and when people called her out on it, she ranted and raved and said that Obama only won because he was black, blah blah blah. So I responded "So you are ignorant and racist. Nice combination." and immediately unfriended her. She responded back with "I am not racist. I work with black people". So glad she is out of my life.
I really don't understand why people do this! Last year I knew ALLLL about my friend's messy divorice and reconciliation. They went back and forth a few times breaking up, getting back togethr, she's sad because she doesn't think he loves her, oh crap she came home today to find that he had moved out and taken all of her stuff including her bed so now she has to sleep on the couch, oh yay she found a new apartment today, oh no he was in a car accident and she's rushed to his side, they've renewed their love because of her devotion to him while he's bedridden. I hadn't spoken with her since college. ALL of this I found out through Facebook. I hate to admit it, but it kind of became entertaining after awhile.
I do have a good friend though who had to tried to sign onto her sister's account to block the girls in our group of friends from seeing her sisters posts because she was pretty embarrassed with the dirty laundry her sister was posting about their family all the time on Facebook.

Kind of along those lines, I really hate when people try to win contests by asking for people to vote for them. One of my friends did this recently for her baby, get enough "likes" and they win a free photo shoot. She even sent everyone a PM in her friend's list who hadn't voted yet.
I got over it, but now she just posted another one for her friend's baby. If I get a PM about "liking" some stranger's kid, she's defriended.

<div>Haha... I had a friend from high school who checked in at Walmart. I thought it was hysterical. Tell me maybe if you check in to an upscale restaurant, but don't tell me when you have to run out to get baby formula.</div>
I had a "friend" from high school who's son has leukemia.. I feel awful for what she and her family are going through..yet she posted a support group page on FB..and sent the link to all of her friends..then made a public status update saying she would know who didn't "like" the group and if we didn't we were all heartless cruel people and she hoped nothing bad every happened to our families...now i'm all about supporting a friend in need..but really?

I don't think I'd be able to bite my tongue on that one
Ah vaguebooking, gotta love that LOL! And one friend is always trying to sell me Avon or Mary Kay and wants me to join her in "a great career investment" .... blah blah.
I never changed my status when we got engaged and didn't change it when we got married. All of my close friends and family know I'm married, so I wasn't really worried about it. I've gotten several PMs since the wedding asking me why I haven't changed my facebook relationship status! I don't even respond.
My little sister puts all her business out on facebook. She made a post a week ago about her feeling like an apple on the top of a tree, and was there a man strong enough out there to go get a ladder, climb up and get her. Then she got mad at me when I said "Why would any guy go through all that trouble when there are tons of apples already on the ground?"
If I wanted to hear the pitter-patter of little feet, I'd put shoes on the cat.

That's awesome! Vaguebooking irritates the ever-livin' crap out of me. I had to hide a friend from the newsfeed because she was always with the 'woe is me' posts and then pulled the 'I'll IM you privately" crap. She said she has cancer (again?) but I honestly don't know that I believe her. I know that sounds cruel, but if you knew this girl...she really is a pathological liar. This was a year ago and she said at that time she didn't know if she'd live until Christmas. She's now perfectly healthy and pregnant.

Another 'vaguebook' friend of mine just posted this:
i love waking up over emotional...
She's another one who puts elipses after her posts far too often without a hint of irony. I just don't ask anymore.
