Re: Facebook Poll
This exactly. :-)
The only thing that is sure to annoy me is the "poor me, something terrible is happening, but I won't share what it is" posts.
That and blatant and repeated ignorance, but I've hidden most of that.
Those posts make me growl.
I pretty much hate anything cryptic or passive aggressive in all forms of communication. Be direct and specific and it'll be a whole lot easier to help you out.
You wanna ***, whine or complain on FB? Okay, do it. That's fine because we all need to vent sometimes But don't half ass it with something cryptic that nobody can understand.
I have friends that vaguebook all the time and people always take the bait.
My biggest annoyance this time of year is the super aggressive angry sports posts. Hoping that the opposing teams quarterback breaks his neck is not very sportsmanlike. It is creepy.
I call me sister out on vaguebooking all the time.
Everyone else falls under a 3 chances and you're hidden rule.
... because I'm a pirate now? Er... I call my sister out...
Yep, yep. I have one friend like that. She is annually blocked during football season. I'll unblock her after the Bowl games.
This is a good idea. I will need it for 2012.
The most annoying thing to me lately has been that stupid "I'm cleaning up my friends list" poll.
Lately I also have an issue with responding to things with an appropriate level of annoyance (I'm on a really short fuse lately for some reason
), so something that is really just a little annoying makes smoke come out of my ears, my heart races and I get all hot. It's a problem.
Oops! I know I've been guilty of this one ;-)
I just have such a hard time getting into sports. I don't understand why people even get mad. Putting it in perspective, there are a lot more important things to be upset about. But again, I'm not into sports so I just don't understand.
I almost spit out my green tea - LOL!
Constant vaguebooking is very annoying and I always refuse to take the bait. I've done it once or twice, but with things that a significant number of IRL friends knew about and truly wasn't fishing for people to ask me about it. I just didn't want to say "Hey! Such and such is happening!"
And GRSP, you kill me! LOLing at pirate speak.
2 more, and you're on a list for a bit.
How about the people that copy and paste someone else's words and don't bother acknowledging the person who originally said it. An oversight or on purpose?
Good one, Tigers.
Or people who only post quotes (cited or not)? Jim started to do that, but I think it was just a phase.
LOL! That's probably due to the pinterest trend...
I knew there was a reason I wasn't on that thing. Oh, and the fact that I don't do crafts.
And you don't cook right? So really, you might not have too many uses for it!
Pinterest isn't all quotes and crafts. There's also cooking.
Three strikes and I'm out!
See, now I feel like I want to challenge myself to find something you'd find useful on there. I know I know!!! Christmas decorations???
