    "ANOTHER SUNNY HAPPY MONDAY MORNING FACEBOOKERS & IM TIRED.COM"

    I got this gem in my news feed last Monday. Enough to make you wanna slap a newborn!

    Status updates are meant to be funny, clever and filled with completely useless information.
    Depressing status updates wreck my head. I don’t give a flying **** that you just don’t know if you can live this life anymore!!

    Any variation of "X is bored/tried/wrecked.com
    Nite all/facebook...
    X just checked in at...home (who gives a fuck? Maybe if you checked in at Caesar's Palace in Vegas then fair enough I might be interested)

    I think facebook brings out depression in a lot of people

    some of those status comments are very sad :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    There's some right two-faced spinelessness on this thread. I'll admit there are sometimes statuses which I think are pointless and silly, and to be fair, some people whom you add, you don't realise they're going to be posting crappy updates - and you might still like them a lot otherwise. But if you're going to be as full of sheer venom towards them as some of the posts here - clearly some of you really dislike the people in question - then just grow a pair and delete them.

    I know someone who qualified as a chiropractor and created a facebook profile with Dr. in front of their name.

    You're a bonesetter you crazy ****! You're two degrees separated from a shamen or a juju man!


    Evidentially 2 degrees and a PHD

    I posted "My girlfriend told me she's leaving me as I was too perverted...I nearly choked on her ****e when she told me"

    Some people didn't like it. I hide any people that post drivel.

    I don't mind facebook though.

    I read somewhere that too much internettage can cause depression or even agrophobia in people.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,711 ✭✭✭keano_afc


    I have a friend who posts the same thing every Friday and Monday.

    Friday: "Weekend! Going out tomorrow, cant wait!"
    Monday: "Ah that weekend was too fast! Cant believe its Monday already!"

    Sometimes she'll throw little hangover updates in on Sunday. Its riveting stuff.

    Personally hate ones like: Warning: The Group "Mammies and Daddies that Love Their Children" is actually a paedophile group trying to get access to the photos of your children. DON'T JOIN THIS GROUP

    Firstly, no paedophile is thick enough to use FB to get access to photos.

    Secondly, why would you join such a group anyway, it would just turn into a frightful discussion of how great your awful spawn are.

    Thirdly, if you are so bloody worried, don't post a gadzillion photos of your kids on facebook. Problem solved.

    Also hate: Change your profile to a favourite childhood cartoon to help stop child abuse.

    Eh, no. It won't.

    I posted a picture of Battle Cat and the next day Michael Jackson was found calved at the foot of his bed. Now tell me that it doesn't ****ing work.

    I stand corrected. The power of childhood cartoons is immeasurable. :D

    I deleted* mine about three months ago. What I can remember is the stupid statuses like "OMG got LOOOOOCKLED last nite and SOOOO hungova!" and then a load of likes for it. Those comments were too annoying.

    Then friends who would leave a message on your wall about a question that should really be answered within 10 minutes. Log on 16 hours later to another message, "Why didn't you answer me!". That tipped it over the edge.

    * If you go to the help section in the bottom right of the screen, you can find out how to delete your account permanently.

    i did the cartoon thing but mainly cos i got the chance to use a catdog pic :cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,425 ✭✭✭gargleblaster


    I don't know what simpleton decided to attach some drivel about child abuse to the cartoon thing. Before that nonsense started I got a message that it was just to make facebook into a big reminder of our favorite cartoons and that's all it was.

    I have one of those chatty moms, this morning's gem: "Soooo tired today!!!! I need coffee or something!!! LOL"

    I don't get upset by any of this stuff though, and don't understand why anyone would. It's just not that important, and it's so easy to hide, defriend someone, or just stop using facebook.

    This topic has me in stiches,
    Every post I read made someone spring to mind :)

    I dont post often to facebook but when I do it's normally a funny video or picture.

    The one thing I hate is (NAME ) has just given you a brick on farm ville
    Aghh


  • Registered Users Posts: 28 parmaviolet


    Oh god the holiday updates. So annoying... and speaking of people talking on facebook while they're away, I know two girls who while on holidays TOGETHER sent eachother comments on facebook

    "lookin good on that sun lounger!"
    "haha those cocktails last night were a mistake lol!"
    "<Insert name> has the funniest sunburn!"

    SHUT. UP.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,023 ✭✭✭Fukuyama


    Reading this thread has just made me decide to stop using Facebook for a month or so. Just to get a break and see if lifes worth living without the useless drivel.

    I wrote down some random letters and numbers. Changed my password to it. Ripped up the page. That should stop me having INSTANT access and it's too much of a pain in the arse to change the password through mobile verification or whatever.

    I actually feel kinda good. :)

    Attention seeking idiots!! :mad:

    I though *Winning* was as bad as it got until last week:

    Girl on my facebook , updates her status at the very least about 7 times a day..

    this morning it was " mmmm toast ;) xxx " ... shut the **** up, why the **** the xx and why the winky face , you knob

    I hid her before , but we haveclose friends in commen and didnt want to fall out over a stupid thing like facebook so I place her back on the news feed before she realised.

    Now i just put smart assed replies to all her pointless stuff, so hopefully that will stop her from posting them

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,821 ✭✭✭RxQueen

    I have a load of people hidden on mine and never got any aggro for it,so hide people away to your hearts content.
    She will still see what you post on her newsfeed. Unless she hids you.
    I think she will see what you post on your friends pages.

    Rooted out this one from a couple of weeks ago. Still makes me laugh. Posted in all seriousness like it was some revelation might I add.

    "Take the year you were born and add your age that you be this year and you get 2011"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,757 ✭✭✭lawhec


    Plenty of examples on this thread that I've seen on FB myself. Doesn't usually bother me, I've only ever deleted one family member because of them using it as a political platform cranked up to 11.

    I have been thinking of going into massive overdrive for one day by posting status updates every 5-10 minutes for while I am awake even for the most trivial and benign of things e.g. "lawhec is taking a dump" to if nothing else, reflect back on some of my "friends" some of the tedious, pointless shít that they write. But I've yet to get around to doing it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,292 ✭✭✭Cunning Stunt


    Not a status thing but one thing that really bugs me - People creating profiles for their PETS. WTF?:mad:
    I have gotten friend requests from 2 dogs and a cat so far..

    facebook statuses are like your life only better


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,287 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    "My son is 2 years old today. Love you lots xxx"

    Firstly, your son isn't on Facebook, so he's not going to read, or 'like' your status. Even if you showed it to him, not a single **** would he give.

    Secondly, if your son isn't going to read it, then you aren't posting it so he can see it. You're posting it so everyone you know can see it. Why? For the dozen "Awww he's soooo cute", "He's a smashing kid", "You must be so proud of him hun" messages you'll get. Well done. You dropped a sprog a few years ago. However, that's not enough, is it? You must make sure that everybody knows it's his birthday, and how wonderful a mammy you are that you diverted your attention away from your child to go on Facebook. You didn't post that status for him. You posted it for your own ego.

    Thirdly, **** you.

    i dunno about that.....
    youve given me a great new way to waste some time - setting up a profile for my Picasso and perhaps Juno and Diasy the dogs as well. might even consider a page for Barney the parrot - with full coloured pics and bloggy status updates on their movements :D

    i know two people who made accounts under fake personas - like A Simkins - he was into steam trains, correcting everyones punctuation, steam trains, being pedantic and photographing steam trains. it was a laugh taking the piss out of that guy even if he was an imposter :cool:
