FB-Related Vents: I know you have 'em, let's hear 'em.

nurse.misty · May 2011

I block the games as they come up so I don't see them as much anymore. Actually, I don't think I've seen one in quite a while. It took a while to get them all blocked though.

JessAndTrav · May 2011

I have a handful of people on my FB that I find to be obnoxious, but many of them are people that added me, I ignored, so that added again, I finally added out of obligation---and that brings me to feeling obligated to keep some people on my FB...I have a lot of those.

So I just decide to laugh at the situation. If it's someone that is mutual friends with any of my close friends or my sister, I'll text the friend or my sister and be like, "ZOMG, read Billy's status immediately." and it becomes a joke.

That may be terrible, but that's what they get for making me feel obligated.

I delete people on a daily basis depending on how annoying their statuses are. Right now, my newsfeed is relatively sane. The whole Osama thing made me want to just delete my FB in its entirety though, because most of my friends/family became idiots.

Yes. Any time something major happens in the world I contemplate getting rid of it. People become morons sharing opinions and "facts" that have little to no truth behind them.

Posted by nurse.misty[/QUOTE]

Apparently. In the comments under his status someone suggested he use a checkbook or something to make sure he knows how much money he has. The kid said he shouldn't have to do that and how he has some choice words to say to the bank teller. Complete lack of responsibility! I really think he'll be lucky if he makes it out of his cashier job...

Wait, so he works as a cashier and still doesn't understand how to be accountable for money? That sounds like a bad job match.

I don't have FB so I don't have any funny stories. My sis, however, recently made a page and I have every confidence that she will let me know when/if someone she is friends with says something stupid/annoying/gross.

cengle · May 2011

Earlier today, someone posted a picture of Osama's body. It was totally photoshopped, but it was still gross and inappropriate.

laurenclaire1386 · May 2011

This is what MIL posted today:
All mini-marts, convenience stores, motels and hotels will be closed for the next three days due to a death in the family.

Omfg. I almost didn't even post this because I'm so incredibly embarrassed of how ridiculous, racist, bigoted, and ignorant she sounds. I say "sounds" because I've really never heard her say anything so awful before.

Bubbalub · May 2011

Omg LC. I mean, how do you even respond to that? Has anyone responded, actually?

Rethany · May 2011

When people finish their status (that they update every two seconds) with the same nonsense every time. "I hate my life

text the cell. Love you!

Somebody said "oh that's funny, it took me a minute to get it." Then I was like "I don't get it." Because I thought surely, surely, surely, she can't really have meant that the way I read it. But she did. And I left it at that. Ugh. I hate that she said that.

Bubbalub · May 2011

Oh man, I'm sorry. That completely sucks.

nurse.misty · May 2011

Wow LC. That's just wrong. If somebody I knew posted that I would have to call them out on it.

nickles26 · May 2011

I'm mainly a lurker, but couldn't resist this topic. My peeves:

-Along with a PP, self-maternity photos. Especially in tank tops they owned before they were 6 months preggers.

-When they are actually having the child, updating on how many centimeters dialated. Actual post: "Havine the baby today. 4 cm. I'm ready to go!" I haven't talked to you since high school, and I do not want to hear about your V.

-My ex-boyfriend's (we are still good friends) girlfriend FB chats me like everyday. And even more so when they broke up last weekend. I can't take it--especially since I never met the girl in my life!

These FB vents are goof and ridiculous!

That is.... I would be tempted to either delete them (but since it is your MIL probably not), or just say simply, "That is incredibly offensive and narrow minded". Holy crap.

laurenclaire1386 · May 2011

Maybe I'm a terrible person, but I'm not going to sacrifice my relationship with my MIL by publicly criticizing it on facebook. Or even by email or FB message. While what she said is fucking terribly offensive on so many levels, I'm not going to open that can of worms with my inlaws. Just can't do it. It's not worth it. It won't change her worldview, and my relationship with her would only suffer.

I understand what you mean. MIL wouldn't say anything like that, but even if she did I wouldn't call her on it. I'd definitely give her a side eye look though. I meant if a friend or other family member said it I would say something. Definitely not worth starting a family war for though.

jrkjpf · May 2011

My worst pet-peeve on FB, people that try to spell the way they talk, example:

"sum pple r so miserble dont want u do be happy so dey talk about you see you geting ur sh*t togetha so dey try to destroy u se making a new friend so dey hate on u on the low mean while they doing all dis n spose to be ur friend wowzers sh*t is crazy"
or
"dis weekend if its nice out we gettn flowers den do hard work on da car den sunday goin 2 c moms!"

Ummm, what???

JanoBean75 · May 2011

jrkjpf, I had exactly two friends (from high school) that posted like that. I deleted them because it took me forever to translate.

I've purged so much of the crazy that I don't really have much on FB to vent about.

Bubbalub · May 2011

LC I totally understand and don't think for a second that you are a horrible person for not wanting to publicly reprimand your MIL. I actually think it shows a lot of maturity and restraint, especially because what she wrote was so offensive. I'm just sorry you have to deal with her saying something like that in the first place. ;(

SparrowSong · May 2011

I HATE any cut and paste status that commands or dare you to post it yourself. Support cancer, that's great. But come up with your own damn status about it that 93% don't need to worry about posting themselves.

I hate vaguebooking. But I hate AWs in the real world too. If you have a problem, make it clear what it is. Don't whine and passive-aggressively beg for attention with your vague source-less emotion-filled status. It's so unattractive. (Usually the same people do it over and over and over.)

thesuninherhead · May 2011

I had to shudder at a comment that was posted on my FB... Amoro and I were having a discussion re: Bin Laden, and then out of nowhere a friend of mine (a friend with a PhD, no less, who is usually very conservative) posted some ridiculous conspiracy theory about Bin Laden being fabricated the US government... 1) if Bin Laden didn't exist to begin with, don't you think that Bush would have taken credit for his supposed killing? 2) WTF.

I keep telling myself she must have been joking, but it seemed pretty genuine and was thus rather concerning!

Kmcgrail1190 · May 2011

Okay, basically, FB seems to make people forget what they learned about grammar in the second grade. And I absolutely hate when people post things on facebook and then say to stay out of their business, everyone in the world can read fb so either don't post it, or deal with what people say abou it good or bad. I have a friend who constantly posts negative things on facebook and then will say "I wish everyone would leave me alone and mind their business" Okay, Ill mind my business when you stop spammin gup my fb page with crap I dont really give a damn about!

Habs2Hart · May 2011

A girl on my facebook posted that her husband was getting the "snip-snip" (I'm sure he wanted that broadcasted) and that they were going to lose their house (and then blamed it on her husband) and then that someone bailed them (for a second time) and then that they booked their vacation to a fancy tourist town in the US. Ummmm... ??? We know you were in foreclosure not even a month ago (because it was on facebook) and now you are letting us know you booked a vacation?

I DON'T GET IT!

Queen Jane · May 2011

I really need to purge my friend list. One girl I went to hs with just got married last weekend. For the past 6+ months she has put all things WR as her status. My personal fav was her agony over finished the guestlist and seating chart (two separate posts). What baffled me even further was all these people not invited congratulated her on the day. There was another girl who keeps posting links to her Jack and Jill, complete with $25 cover charge. Possibly the most inflammatory is one girl who was in a group of friends from 2 summers ago. She's so obviously insecure but at the sane time full of herself (if that makes sense) and claims to be a feminist. She posts attention seeking statuses fishing for compliments. I don't know why but it bothers the hell out of me.

LOL my brother sent me one that was quite funny - was titled "Osama's last post"

Was an FB box with OBL pic - the msg said "BRB - someone's at the door"

AbbeyS2011 · May 2011

Sorry I did not post my FB pet peeves/rants:

-Announcing you are dialated at the hosp, just got the epidural,pushing, etc. Who gives a rat's a**? Some things are called PRIVATE for a REASON people.

-Bare Pregnant belly portraits - keep them to yourself tyvm. Same with announcing sterilization - especially your husband's.

-saw this on someone's status within a week - "single" to "single and looking" "taken" "F***YOU JERK - I HATE YOU!", and back to "single" again. Again - who cares?

Have posted this before, but the post always starts with "I love my man/woman/children ................"

LindaD76 · May 2011

I went through a purge about 6 months ago in which I deleted guys I used to date/people who annoyed me/people I had only met once or twice and didn't feel needed to know all of my life's details.

Seriously, without the ability to stalk old boyfriends and mock the women I see them with or and the opportunity to make fun of lame-ass status updates, FB really isn't so fun for me anymore.
