random FB thing

Ninth Anniversary 2500 Comments 5 Love Its Combo Breaker
in Military Brides
So I'm friends with my BIL's girlfriend (they are 21 and 20 so young ones), and she just put this as her status: 
Bet NO guy has the guts to write a girl a paragraph in her inbox that she will never forget. Girls put this as your status an see who's tha NICEST guy you have on Facebook that can actually write a paragraph that will stun you. ♥

I have a feeling that if I ever did this (not that I would, because, ya know, I'm not 13 anymore) I would get a bunch of you ladies sending me random paragraphs that I'm an idiot but you love me anyway.

    So did BIL actually write her a paragraph that she won't forget or is he one of those "I'm too cool for love letters" kinda guy or whatnot? 

    I would write you one which will most likely contain "I love GGirl" haha

    But seriously, I hate stupid chain stuff on FB, I never do them and I hate getting them!

    He totally won't even message her one. He's like my H. They just can't do it. My H can try to be romantic, but its not his style. His brother is very simliar to him (in looks and personality, its weird). They have been having a rocky relationship since before my wedding so I'm guessing this stems from this. It's sad because they are young and have been together almost 4 years so I feel bad for her in some ways.

    Oh geez. I can't stand those chain statuses. One of my older sisters does those all the time (along with an array of vague "I'm so mad but don't ask me about it because I don't want to talk about it" statuses). I "hid" her on my feed.

    Irish-right?! One day (before I hid her) I finally told her "if you don't want to talk about it, don't post it on fb for everyone to see. Problem solved."

    Haha love that!! I'm in a bookclub with one of those and another friend FINALLY called her out on it. Just say, "Im having a bad day, someone cheer me up!" and I'll be muuuuch more willing to coddle you. This random passive aggressive nonsense just gets me all riled up. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" />

    Okay, so Facebook pet peeves:

    - Stupid chain posts about anything.  Most especially cheesy "quotes" that come from no one, like "A girl deserves a guy who..."  or hidden meaning ones that are stupid, like "I like MARS BARS and I'm due in 20 WEEKS" or "I like it on the counter" or "Message me a number and I'll tell you what I really think of you" or whatever

    - Passive aggressive status updates like "Today sucks".  Oh, really, why is that?  Why don't you just post the whole thing because all you're doing is asking someone to respond, "Why's that?"

    - Ooey gooey love letters on each other's wall when you know that you could text those things to each other and save everyone else's eyes.

    - Slutty pictures or the "Look at me, I'm so cute!" pictures.  It's so juvenile and AWish.  When I look at my pictures, I like to think, "Aw, I remember that night with those friends!  That was fun!" not "Wow, I looked super skinny in that pic, and remember taking a picture by myself trying to look sexy/cute."  If someone has more pictures by themselves than with friends, I have to wonder if they might be a bit narcissistic.  Especially the posed pictures by yourself.  You aren't a model, and if you're the only one you're taking those photos for, then that's sad (I get taking pictures and giving them to a significant other or something, but then why would you post them on FB?!)

    - Asking for advice on important issues.  Really?  That's how you want to get advice?  From Joe-Schmo you met at the bar last weekend and added him on your iPhone, so now he can give advice on which car you should buy?  Or whether you should go back to grad school?

    - The ones where you list the friends that show up in your wall in some weird status.  Most recently, I saw one about "Thanksgiving Guests" and talkin about "the one that cuts the turkey" and "the one who eats all the pumpkin pie" or stupid stuff.  It's dumb.

    I hate those too.  I am sure that H would write something like "why did you post this stupid status."  HA 

    A girl I worked with posted one of those one that talks about candy bars or something.  Any way people were sending her congrats about having a baby.  She got really mad and then went off on everyone about gossiping.  I mean what did you expect.  Annoying.  Oh and I with you Cal about the asking for advise thing. 

    I hate those pictures that people post of them looking in the mirror and taking their picture with their phone.  I just hate those!

    I hate those things on FB, I tend to just ignore them.

    My favorite thing to hate on FB is people that are in relationships, not declaring it on FB. I don't use facebook that much (besides creeping on people when I get bored) I use  it mainly as a tool for my wedding; make sure I get people's last name right, quick way to get addresses, and if they have a significant other I don't want them to feel left out being there alone. Don't come crying to me that your boyfriend isn't invited if I have never seen him and there is no mention of him on your FB. Clearly you don't value the relationship too much if I have never even heard of him.

    I understand people not wanting to air their relationship laundry on FB, but I hate being gossipy so if you haven't told me and I don't see it in FB, he doesn't exist.... I digress.
