Facebook issue...
I HATE HATE HATE! When people swear a lot in their FB status. Seriously it drives me insane. My SIL does this all the time. It's not just the occasional cuss. I wouldn't care about that. It's the stream of profanity involved in telling the world something less than optimal is happening. For example this is her new FB status. I am editing it so the nest gods don't kick my bum.
Followed by her comment on her status which was
F##$ing piece of s@#$ H@#-Bag Wh%@$ C%!$.
She is friends with most of my family on Facebook. Including my 8 year old cousin and her mother, and my grandmother who are on FB. In addition to this she usually has a half naked picture of a random woman as her profile pic.
I don't need to see this. If I delete her as a friend on Facebook it will open a whole can of worms that I don't need to deal with. I am going to have to say something to my brother.
Re: Facebook issue...
My brother always uses the f word in his status updates, and every weekend posts several posts about how wasted he's going to get, how wasted he is and how hung over he is.
Thankfully, he has changed his last name slightly so it isn't his full name. When he was laid off, all I could think about was how potential employers would view his posts. And he is freaking 33 years old.
I am guilty of dropping the f-bomb in my status from time to time
But, even this potty mouth would be offended by that string of obscenities!
I know how you feel. I can't stand it when people swear excessively for no good reason. I especially hate taking the bus and hearing every second word that comes out of someone's mouth be an f-bomb (and at a volume so the whole bus can hear, nonetheless).
I totally understand feeling the need to swear every once in a while, but I just wish I wasn't subjected to it for 45 minutes straight.
