I just read the following article in Facebook, and maybe I have to agree?
1. The gushing couple
Not content with being in a happy and stable relationship, this couple feel the need to rub our noses in it on a daily basis by posting gag making status updates like: “I woke up next to the most beautiful woman in the world this morning. My wife. I am the luckiest man alive.” Seeing as he woke up next to her, couldn’t he have just told her that himself without making the rest of us feel queasy? Worse still, she responds with “David darling, I’m the lucky one. You’re amazing.” And so on ad nauseum. De-friend.
My Comments: This does annoy me, I even have a friend who’s facebook status stated that his girlfriend thought the hair on his back looked like angel wings – bleugh!!!!!
2. The bitter venter
“That’s it, I’m giving up on women, they’re all crazy.”
“All men are liars. Prove me wrong.”
Okay so it sounds like they’re not having much luck on the dating and relationships front at the moment, but venting about it on Facebook isn’t going to help their cause much. There’s just no excuse for bad mouthing an entire gender. Besides, have they not realised they’ve just alienated around half of their friends?
My Comments: I also get annoyed with “I know it was you that did…… I will get you back!” <- if you’re gonna get them back and you know who they are then message them directly!?!?!!? Don’t tell the world, I am just not a fan of rants on facebook, aimed at certain people – however, I have done one or two myself. My favourite is “I am really upset by the way someone is treating me! for example – I will then get private messages from people ‘having a go’ for me slagging them off, I then say it wasn’t about them, but if they think it was then maybe they want to consider not hurting me next time?
3. Baby bore
Pregnancy and parenting is an amazing and wonderous journey apparently, but we’re really not sure what we supposed to say when someone posts a photo of their 12 week old foetus in utero. It just looks like some fuzzy white blobs on a black background to us. Worse still, we’re already bracing ourselves for what’s to come. Endless photos of baby’s first everything. Yawn. And crowing posts about how motherhood is the best job in the world without a thought for any friends who may have not have met the right person yet, are having trouble conceiving or who just aren’t into babies. Thanks but no thanks.My Comments: I will see the scan photos and say “Congratulations” or something like that, same again when I see the first photos in hospital but that’s probably it. Until they getv to about 18months and they get exciting and look cute, until then all babies look like potatoes with a face drawn on!
4. Bridezilla
“3 sleeps until the big day.” “Spa day for me and the bridesmaids – woo hooo!” “Excited about dress fitting tonight!!” “Honeymoon in the Carribean or Greece? Any advice?”
Hey, is someone getting married then? We’d never have guessed. We hope you have a lovely day and everything but spare a thought for those of us who are single and stop flaunting the upcoming nuptials in our news feed please.
My Comments: I like this, I like to be able to get excited in a friends great news, and to see photos of various things along the way, and I know I will be the same.
5. The bragger
“Cocktails on the beach tonight with my hot new Brazillian boyfriend. I knew this gap year was a good idea!” Thanks very much. While we’re slaving over a hot computer with the heating turned up to max, they’re off living it up somewhere hot and sandy with the beautiful people. Call us petty, but we don’t wanna hear about it unless we’re invited. It just serves to highlight everything that’s wrong with our own lives.
My Comments: I am not a Holiday Bragger, mainly for the security reasons that I mentioned in an earlier post, when you post that you are having a great holiday, you are also saying your home is empty – come steal stuff!
My Personal Other Hates:
a: Getting tagged in photos I am not in – like a joke photo or such like, if I am actually in it then great, if it is one where you have to choose a friend to respresent various characters on a poster and you tag me as I am similar then that’s cool too. If you are tagging me because you think you have found a funny photo or joke, don’t bother! If I want to see the photo it will come up on my News Feed, if I want my friends to see it I will share it!
b: I have said before, and upset others because of it, so -hey, let’s do it again! lol. I don’t like the relationship status that says “Married to…” and it’s your best mate or similar, it’s cool if you’re 13, not so much after that!
c: The mood swingers – “Life’s so great, I am so lucky to have so many great friends!” 30mins later “I hate my life, why am I so unlucky!” Translation: Asked my friend to go out, I will try and bribe her into it by saying she is great – friend says No and I hate her!
d: People that friend request for the sake of it “Hi, you are my brothers, friends mate!”
What things annoy you and make you want to ‘un-friend’ your facebook friends?
HEY ! FB Where Is Your DIS Like Button I Want Dislike Many Things
Very good point! although would it start more facebook friction?
I agree yes It would cause some reactions, which could be a good thing and would open up debate or fiction between face book followers. I think It would brings more honestly between face book followers and the site. All criticism should be welcomed and would equal out the like button. I think It could solve many of the annoying things on face book which you high lighted on In your excellent blog. Everybody loves to get likes but nobody welcomes dislikes, It maybe would make the follower question what they post.
