Re: Facebook Poll

  • If I had all status updates visible, than I'd probably be annoyed close to 100% of the time.  But I've blocked the "friends" who perpetually post annoying junk, so now I'm blissfully unaware of their crap when I log on.  Smile

  • 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.

    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.

    Yep, yep.  I have one friend like that.  She is annually blocked during football season.  I'll unblock her after the Bowl games.

    This also makes me soooo irritated. If you are going to be a drama queen, you might as well tell everyone what is going on.

  • I'll bet FB will soon come with a calendar that will allow you to schedule how long a friend is hidden or blocked.  It would be cool if there were drop down menus "hide until after ____ season is over"  "hide until after elections are over." on and on...

    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 Stick out tongue), 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.

    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.

    Yes

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Pinterest isn't all quotes and crafts.  There's also cooking.  ;)
