NWR - Vent about Facebook


I understand that Facebook is a social network and people can write whatever they want. I use it to keep in touch with friends. I DO NOT understand why people feel the need to provide every detail of thier life through a status post.

For instance, a girl I know is in a terrible relationship; he cheats, she cheats, they are in counseling and not even married. She posted every detail about their valentines day saying how amazing her BF is and every single detail of the day down to getting in a hot tub with bubbly. Why do people feel they need to overcompensate on FB? Come on hunny!! We all know you are miserable!!

  • Facebook sucks. I am actually on the verge of deleting my profile-but I think I will just ignore it instead. Over sharing is an issue for sure. We recently had such issues around Facebook at work is was banned from our computers, and I removed all my coworkers (after a polite e-mail explaining I just thought it best to keep the personal and professional separate) from my friends list.

    I also know some couples who hide their crappy marriages behind fawning status updates. It's sad. Get offline and go work on your marriage.
  • I hear you... I try to keep it light and most of my friends do too. I have a few people on mine who seem to feel the need to dribble ooooonnnn and oooonnn and oooooonnn about every monotonous detail of their apparently horrible lives.... most of them have gotten the "Hide" treatment. I've even just de-friended a few. LOL!

    What annoys me is all of the apps. Who really gives a crap what fake cyber animal you found on your fake cyber farm and why the hell would I want to congratulate you for it? Really.
  • What annoys me are the super sappy couples who write on each other's walls ALL of the time.  I have a cousin who writes messages like this constantly (10ish times a day) to his partner and she writes back.  It's nice that they love each other ("oh baby, I lurve you so so so sooooo much") but really.

  • That's still better then the person on my FB who keeps begging for money :-) This is the same girl that sends me messages with her computer problems then "asks" how to fix it... To which I respond usually "my fees to computer service are $100 initial and $50 an hour after the first" This usually prompts a FB post how friends should help other friends... I keep her around to amusement honestly lol

    But really I have FB to brag how adorable my kid is, tell random friends from home that I looooovvveeee them and to play bejeweled :-)

  • I agree it is annoying too. Or having to see status updates of people who have been in a relationship for two months saying "i love you!" all the time. Sick.
  • I've basically defriended everyone that I either a) no longer speak to, or b) don't think I will ever see again.  I got tired of the random people I haven't seen in ages asking about details for the wedding, too.  Apparently my ex-fb friends have little to no etiquette.
  • The "Hide" function is your friend.

    And checking out http://stfumarrieds.tumblr.com and https://stfuparents.tumblr.com made me realize that my friends aren't THAT bad.

  • I agree with the last poster.  On your wall there is a "Hide" option next to every post.  So you can hide those people who clutter up your feed with stuff every 5 minutes or provide TMI.  Hope that helps!
  • Man I hate the super sappy couples. " I love you, you are the best, can't wait to kiss you when I get home..." gross.

    My big annoyance is now that my FI and I are engaged friends I haven't seen in years are writing on my wall saying that they can't wait to attend the wedding. Um...guess what...you're not invited, esp when you use the words "I better be invited to your wedding!!!"

  • Ugh, YES. I have 3 friends on there that are pregnant. I have seen EVERY LITTLE DETAIL of their pregnancy...like what smells make them want to puke, how they feel, when the baby kicks and where, every doctor appt etc...
  • Thank you! God, I hate the constant updates about some strange animal that was found or hatched. One recently was kind of messed up--"X's baby dragon is cold, alone, hungry and scared. He'll starve to death soon if someone doesn't feed him, but she's been away". WTF?
