    YES! And add local photographer's photo contest to the aforementioned. Even if I think the kid is cute, I want to vote for the others.

    I'm avoiding all FB annoyances by never going on it.  It's been months.  I think I signed on to see something last week and I had requests from my dad, three of my sisters, and some other random family members.  I think I've permanently quit FB.

    And I don't want to unfriend or hide her because I'm fascinated by this chick. She's 30, got pregnant by some rando, moved into her mom's basement, goes to ITT Technical Institute for graphic design (when she could easily go to the local CC and pay 1/4 of the tuition, but that's another pet peeve of mine), etc. etc. etc.

    I hate, hate, hate those posts.  I grew up in Ohio and half of my friends from FB live in the Cleveland area.  For the entire month of July my feeds were filled with "Vote Xavyer as the Cutest Baby in Cleveland" a million times a day.

    Yes!  It doesn't matter how much I like you, I instantly feel the urge to look at all the other babies/pets/husbands/whatever to vote for them instead.

    I skim over those.  One of my FB friends posted the following this week (for reference, she's the one who, a few weeks ago, posted a crime alert about a Hawaiian looking man knocking on doors purportedly selling books, but in actuality stealing tires):

    Yes! I hate this. I have one friend in particular that does these contests all the time, and sadly the kid is not cute.

    Eh, he's ok. He's 2 months old, though. Not many babies are *that* adorable at 2 months.

    More annoying than doing this on FB?  Folks who beg for votes on the Yahoo group for moms in my neighborhood.  Dude, most of these people (hundreds, if not >1000) are STRANGERS who don't know you or your kid.  Not only that, they all have their own kids that they probably feel are even more cute, special, and deserving of a vote than stranger baby.

    1) I wish 12 year olds still looked like 12 year olds. 2). I love that she changed "praying to a God that I don't believe in" to "praying to God cause I believe" or something like that. Embrace the edgy and deny God! If you're old enough to wear earrings the size of your head, you're old enough to denounce your lord and savior through song.

    I don't remember? I think I may have voted once, but did not join the FB group.
