Sick to death of Facebook.

    Agree about the bugs. So frustrating to click on view all comments or click on the message box at the top; wait about 5 minutes to load and then it never loads.

    don't use chat, block all apps with fb purity, unsubscribe from idiotic people, keep it just the way you want it and facebook is grand. you'd swear you were forced to look at all this sh1te, its easily gotten rid of.

    Yep. Unsubscribe from the idiot friends who:

    say goodnight to Facebook
    Post sh1t like "Just had a cup of tea. Considering a bickie too"
    Post inappropriate pictures
    etc

    A friend of mine used to post interesting stuff, but she is also an animal lover in the extreme, and posted a picture of a bucket of drowned kittens with a tagline saying "This is the reality". She posted it at 9am in the morning and I was drinking my morning tea in work when i was confronted by it. I didn't bother berating her, I just unsubscribed, life is easier.

    Also FB purity, and all the stupid app and game requests go away.

    Now before anybody says "why dont you just leave", I need to know about Facebook for my job. So leaving isnt really an option... but Facebook is reallly starting to bug me at this stage...

    - It must be the buggiest website I've ever seen. Currently it doesnt work properly in any of the three browsers I have installed on my PC.
    - If that stupid b1tch up the road tells me one more time about how many sugars she's having in her tea, I'll beat her to death with the teapot.
    - Those "Pat has sent you 50 gold coins in LGBT Pirates Of The Carribean" messages... :mad:
    - Lastly those images "Tiny Tim has cancer, but look how brave he's being".. which are coming in a flood lately.. Now I'm now unsympathetic, but jesus every day ?? It's like the Late Late Show..

    A few of my friends have abandoned FB recently. Anybody else going the same way... Just going to post on FB about how I "got something off my chest" :pac:

    I went through my friends list recently and was surprised at how many people I couldn't remember being friends with because I had blocked them. :D

    Here's the main kind I've blocked:-
    People posting 15 videos one after another from YouTube. This one is for Mary, this one is for Joe. This one reminds me of a nice day I had recently. Good for you. How about you just go onto YouTube and watch them yourself without sharing them with all of us? Blocked.

    People who do nothing on Facebook only moan. We all have the odd whinge on FB, that's grand, but you know someone who has a chip on both shoulders and makes sure you know all about it. Blocked.

    Attention seekers. You know the ones. They'll post something like "Not looking forward to tomorrow". No details given, they just sit back and wait for some tool to say "Really? Why not?" Then they'll be told "ah I don't to want to say it here, PM me!!" Blocked. I had a friend recently who put up "Not looking forward to my general anaesthetic tomorrow". Everyone was posting OMG what's up, are you ok? Are you sick? What's wrong? She was getting a bloody wisdom tooth out!! Give. Me. Strength.

    People who only come on Facebook to show off - they haven't been seen or posted anything in about six months and then come on to say "heading off for three weeks holidays to the Bahamas next week, can't wait". Then after the hols you'll get the 175 pictures and then they'll disappear until their next "showey offey" event comes up!!

    I don't block these people but generally they go waaaayyyy down on my respectometer - the ones that like & share those fcuking ridiculous sick children things (like there's a doctor there going "yes, yes, one more like and I can do this life saving surgery), domestic abuse pics (like if you're against domestic abuse, I mean come on!!!), pics of people with no hair after chemo (like if you think she is beautiful :rolleyes:). They even had one of Barbie with a hearing aid and some of my friends (now I'm talking about people in their 30's and 40's) clicked that they liked it because that meant the Barbie doll was beautiful :eek:. I don't know if they do it because it makes them look as if they are wonderful, all-accepting people or what but they get on my tits big time!!

    Anyway, that's my rant about Facebook. It its defence, some of the stuff put up on it is hilarious and I do enjoy what the majority of my friends are sharing. It's also a great way to keep in touch with friends and family abroad and keep up with what they're doing, I've found family I wouldn't have even known about if it weren't for Facebook.

    All I'll say is thank God for the "unsubscribe" and "hide all from" buttons :D

    I have on particular "friend" like that. Posts pictures of himself with well known people, or tells when he's at big events or anything that he perceives to enhance his social status. He's a bit inconsistent with his posting though, cos I didnt see a message saying "I got the results from the clinic. I have an STD" after he opened the letter last year.
