Most Annoying Thing(s) about Facebook

fussyonion

Right I seriously had to start a thread on this..

A Facebook friend of mine had a baby six months ago and all she does is post pictures, stories, quotes etc about the baby's every movements (well, not EVERY movement..thank Jesus, but then again, you never know, there's still time) and it's driving me insane.

I know, I know..having a baby is a major thing in a person's life and I get that she's proud and happy, but seriously...don't these baby bores realise that ALL they talk about is their child?
Don't they realise how tedious that is?

Before said friend had the baby,she was telling everyone how she had "only three months to go!"...followed by "a month to go!" and everyone clicking LIKE as if she's the only one ever to have a child.
Every thing she posts is baby related...an album with over 250 pictures, what formula she's giving the child; she never says anything else!!

Right, rant over.
Baby bores are the thing I hate most about Facebook.
Let's hear yours.

PS I also hate people who put up quotes like "You'll never know what you had cos you let it go" and other egotistical quotes like that.

I am getting to hate Facebook for most of the reasons highlighted in the OP.

If it wasn't for chatting to friends abroad and arranging social nights out I would deactivate my account.

What was life like prior to social networking?

Posting some pictures is totally understandable but when people post albums FULL of them on a weekly basis it gets annoying.

Also hate people who use the status "**** is in MyBed" or "is in ThePub".

I was gonna post something about people on the internet whinging about people on the internet but realised I'd just be another person on the internet whinging about people on the internet.

Right things on facebook that have been annoying me lately.

1/ These "like this picture if you like think these kittens are cute"etc crap. Sick of going on facebook to see my wall clogged with this attention seeking crap.

2/ The latest thing seems to be people posting a big rant on a companies/organization to get as many likes as possible.

I actually dont understand what motivates these people who put up this crap in the first place. I'd actually like to reopen Auschwitz and gas them all.:mad:

Christ I totally agree about the "loose" "lose" thing..that seems to happen a lot. Saw sign outside chemist recently that said "COME IN AND LEARN HOW YOU CAN LOOSE WEIGHT FAST!".
I wanted to rip it down.

Most Annoying Thing(s) about Facebook...


...the people on it who think we want a live commentary of what they are doing


"Mary is dropping her pants"
"Mary is sitting down...awww the toilet seat is cold"
"Mary is reading a shampoo bottle"
"Mary is holding her breathe and squeezing"
"Mary has dropped a log of epic proportions"
"Mary has flushed the loo"
"Mary has left skid marks"
"Mary has not washed her hands"

"Mary is making sandwiches for her kids"

I can't log into Facebook on the iPhone app if I have a page on same!

fussyonion

Jesus I'm really thinking of them now! I'm on a roll
Saw a post earlier which went something like this.

"uh dyin nvr drnkin vdka again, y do i do it te meself.sed i wudnt drnk tonight anal"
Reply from a fellow user: "anal? you had anal?"
"ah stop i sed anal"

Right.

KKkitty

I'm bored.com and all related .com statuses. Game requests too. I do play some games on facebook but some people send me requests for loads of games which does get annoying.

DarkJager

Can't stand the baby pictures obsession myself. Every day I get 4 or 5 different updates of friends kids with toast stuck to their face, mud on their hands, gap toothed smiles, chocolate eating disasters etc. I get it, you love your child. Doesn't mean you have to be assaulting peoples updates every 5 mins with photos of them.

admiralofthefleet

wht not -

i hate the constant 'sarah is in the pub with breda' posts and telling people their every move. there is no privacy at all with some poeple.
i hate it so much that im tempted to post 'gareth is having a smelly dump - at toilet'

jaydoxx

Lately I find myself scrolling for what seems like an eternity to find an actual status update and not some stupid meme or video or some other crap. Then when I finally get to read a status it's something moronic that makes my head explode.

That my feed basically looks like gay porn thanks to a girl who has an obsession with liking pictures of a scantily clad Tom Daley in speedos.

I'm actually too embarrassed to check my feed in public now...

I don't get the hate around facebook.

1. You can hide annoying people from you're feed
2. Its a free, completely voluntary service
3. Do you expect everyone to be perfect? Ive some people hidden, but Im friends with a few people who portray similar annoying habits and aren't hidden, at the back of it all they're ok people (otherwise I wouldnt be friends with them).
4. It takes two seconds to scroll past an annoying status. Sure you can say "well theres two seconds I won't get back" but lets face it, you're on facebook, you're time is hardly valuable

Also, with facebook, you are completely in control of what you can and cant see on your feed, so if this is becomes a problem its due to your own inaction, its your own fault and youre the one who lets it happen!

shruikan2553

I had my 12/13 year old female cousin as a friend. Most of what annoys me comes from this

ask.fm attention seeking
putting effects in photos and writing about being friends forever on them
vague statuses looking for people to ask questions
like if you think she is beautiful etc

Cant think of any others right now, have my cousin blocked after having to remind her people dont have to put up with her spoilt attention seeking ways so I cant just look at her profile and list everything I see

you might be right but if we did all the things that you say, what are we going to give about.

The "inspirational" quotes that some people post do my nut in. Wow you're so deep maaaaaannnn.

To all those that post those chain mails.


Hello, my name is William and I suffer from guilt for not forwarding
50
billion f**king chain letters sent to me by people who actually
believe
that if you send them on, a poor six year old girl in Queensland with
a
breast on her forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it
removed before her redneck parents sell her to a travelling freak
show.

And, do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give you, and
everyone to whom you send "his" email, $1?

How stupid are we?

Ooooh, looky here! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I'll
get
laid by a model I just happen to run into the next day!"

What a bunch of bulls**t.

Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my house and
sodomize me in my sleep for not continuing a chain letter that was
started by St Peter in 5AD and brought to this country by midget
pilgrim
stowaways on the Endeavour.

F*ck 'em.

If you're going to forward something, at least send me something
mildly
amusing. I've seen all the "send this to 10 of your closest friends,
and
this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a
nickel from some omniscient being" forwards about 90 times.

I don't f*cking care.

Show a little intelligence and think about what you're actually
contributing to by sending out these forwards. Chances are, it's your
own unpopularity.

The point being? If you get some chain letter that's threatening to
leave you shagless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it.

If it's funny, send it on.

Don't piss people off by making them feel guilty about a leper in
Botswana with no teeth who has been tied to ! the arse of a dead
elephant for 27 years and whose only salvation is the 5 cents per
letter
he'll receive if you forward this email.

Now forward this to everyone you know. Otherwise, tomorrow morning
your
underwear will turn carnivorous and will consume your genitals.

Have a nice day.
P.S. Send me 15 euro and Then F*ck Off

Bit sterile are we? Just unsubscribe from them. I've sone this even to close friends who are fine irl but drive me mad on fb

We talked to each other face to face or over the phone

KenSwee

Myself and the missus are on Feckbook. We have roughly about 100 'friends' each. about 30 of them can actually see our page and most of them are family. We are expecting a baby at the moment.

No info on pregnancy.
No date of birth.
No 'nearly there' posts.
And when baby is born healthy and happy, hopefully, we will be glad, but nobody on Feckbook will know.
No pictures or information of our baby of any kind will appear on Feckbook.

I think that's normal.

Yeah, and stupid people spouted equally inane shite back then too. Facebook hasn't changed people, just made it easier to spot the stupid ones
