    I'm FED UP with...

    * girls writing "ON TOP" or "Black" as their status msg, it's f**king stupid and not funny!
    * Farmville/Fishville/Mafia Wars spam-games!
    * Inane groups - "BURSTING OUT LAUGHING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP AT THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME" - woah, that's outrageous, sign me up!
    * being told my friends "like" statuses of people I haven't added as friends
    * being suggested to "reconnect" with my gf
    * being told every single time I've been tagged in a photo
    * the fact the ONLY guy on facebook with my exact name won't answer my friend request :(
    * ugly people I know with photoshopped profile pictures
    * people that spend their entire day doing quizzes to find out what kind of fruit they are!
    * the "dislike" button is not here, it's never gonna be here and I won't pass your stupid message because facebook isn't going to charging people!!

    ...ah, I'm gonna make some tea

    yeah facebook sucks

    btw the 'black' etc thing is to raise awareness for breast cancer (it's the colour bra they're wearing) so meh

    you can hide all the spam from games etc.

    those 'hilarious' groups suck donkey balls

    Facebook is dead long live Failbook!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,026 ✭✭✭imeddyhobbs


    Why were you on facebook anyway?

    Did you catch the gay?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,640 ✭✭✭Pushtrak


    I wonder is the OP one of these people who has said millions of times on facebook "I am leaving facebook" and "Another reason to hate facebook. I'm quitting" and such and has now seen fit to bring this particular message to others. While not actually quitting facebook.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 889 ✭✭✭Bajingo


    I use it to talk to friends and share pictures it's good at doing that..

    People actually photoshop their photos for facebook!?

    I dont see what the big deal is..it's just facebook quit..dont quit..the world wont stop..neither will your life..dont get so worked up.

    I see what you mean. Some aspects of it annoy me. For the sake of convenience, I'll be keeping mine though.

    In what possible way does it raise awareness? "Guy - what does your status mean? Girl - can't tell ya, teheheheh!!"

    You can block the app but there's too many of them!

    Aye, FAILBOOK for everyone

    Raising awareness by not telling people what they're talking about, genius!

    I think we should set up a group "If 1,000,000 people join speedboatchase has to stay on facebook!" those things are legally binding you know.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60 ✭✭Man_bear_pig


    you can block all those messages about pictures and 'likes'. go to settings and then notifications and you can hide info on your news feed if you like.

    nice rant tho


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 117 ✭✭LaughOrDie


    Don't think you can delete it. They have you forever! The only thing you can do is deactivate your profile.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,247 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    * the "dislike" button is not here,!!

    This also applies to boards. I want an opposite thanks button.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    JUST TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS..... FACE ...... TO ..... FACE.... without, the need of a book (for some reason I can't understand yet)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,925 ✭✭✭aidan24326


    A guy I hadn't spoken to in at least 7 or 8 years added me as a facebook friend a few weeks ago, out of the blue. I would never have been that friendly with him in the first place, more an acquaintance. So I send him a message, hey how are you, long no time no see that sort of thing, just being polite. And he doesn't even bother to reply. So what's the point? Just clocking up names to add to the friend list.

    Facebook has to be one of the most overrated websites there's ever been. I mean youtube, ebay, google, those sites deserved to be successful, but Facebook is pretty crap. Endless stupid quizzes designed by American frat boys with the brain of a retarded chimp.

    Guess what, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ON IT. If you want to have a facebook account have one, if you don't, don't. Sorry to be contraversial here but its not a mandatory thing in life. Quit Moaning!!!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 714 ✭✭✭Smyth


    Cool story OP!

    I'm gonna print it out, sit my entire family down, and read it to them.

    I'm sure they'll love hearing it as much as I did.

    OP wins!

    From the entire time I've been on facebook I've never been subjected to one of those things, ever. Not even sure what some of them mean. Maybe you're just crazily unlucky?

    Hmmm, why not just say "breast cancer, check for lumps"

    Have you got the address of whoever started this campaign?I'm going to slip some carcinogenic material in her bra


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,763 ✭✭✭Sheeps


    I don't think there's a problem with facebook. I think it's more a problem that your friends are retarded.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,763 ✭✭✭Sheeps


    I don't condone the joining of groups with supposed witty group titles, however this one did make me chuckle: "If 6,794,400,000 people join, then planet earth will know about my whore ex".

    WHY do people add people who have the same name as them? WHAT is the point in it? You have the same name, big egffing wow - you don't know that person and you most likely never will.


    As for quitting FB - go for it. The thing has its pros and cons and is an excellent procrastination tool, but I'm sure the world would keep going without it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,084 ✭✭✭oppenheimer1


    Try this: www.Seppukoo.com Facebook only lets you deactivate your account, to dlete your account you have to go and delete every wall post, every comment you've made. website above does all that hard work for you I understand.

    Yeah... someone with the same name as me tried to add me on facebook as well. Of course I ignored it... It's strange and creepy. I only have people I actually know on facebook.

    Now that's the spirit! Hate all these random adds solely for the purpose of increasing friends numbers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 171 ✭✭JKM


    "Right girls. At the moment we're all stating the colour of our bras well here's the next game, this will get the guys thinking, to see if they got dirty minds or not! Though its not at all rude, lol. write in your status about how you have got your hair now. If its up, write ON TOP, if it's down at either side of the face, write SIDE BY SIDE, if it's just a complete mess, write EVERYWHERE N MESSY! see if they get this one! but ONLY SEND to GIRLSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! xxxxxxxxxxx"

    Oh s**t, was I not supposed to let that one slip.... my bad!

    I felt kind of let down by my fellow females when I got this one. The really sad thing.. this was sent to me by a mum of 3 in her late twenties.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    The OP might be leaving Facebook but they've certainly not let the Facebook "stupid status syndrome" go from this post where everybody apparently has to know the reasons as to why they're leaving Facebook.

    It's not like school. You don't have to write it a note or give excuses as to why you're leaving it. Just do it.
