FB pet peeves
Lately fb has been annoying me more than providing entertainment and I think I am in definite need of a break. I'm sure we've all been annoyed by certain posts at some point and I'm sure I'm probably on someone's list too, but just curious...what are your pet peeves?

Re: FB pet peeves
1) People who I know aren't that busy complaining about how busy they are on a regular basis..or how tired they are.
2) People who everyday feel the need to list everything they've done that day like they deserve a prize
3) People who give way TMI (like my SIL posting about her period all the time and when she "has the runs" - no joke!)
4) People who make blanket FB delete threats.
5) People who have something they sell and are really pushy about it.
6) Oh, and after today I can add a new one. An old friend from HS posted really inappropriate pics of herself that she had professionally done. She was wearing black, see-through, lingerie and lying on a bed in seductive poses. Gross! So inappropriate pics would be another pet peeve.
Hmm..I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of right now : )
1. ppl who post music video after video after video. I usually check fb on my blackberry, so it takes FOREVER to scroll through all of the videos. One of the girls I went to hs with posted about a dozen in a row today
2. tmi posts
3. super mushy, lovey-dovey posts. I have a friend who always posts msgs to her bf (who I am also friends with on fb) that are over the top sweet and lovey. Ppl always comment and tease the two of them about it.
1. My latest pet peeve is the "I'm expecting" status that's going around. It sounds like someone announcing a pregnancy, when they're actually being sarcastic about the rain or snow in the forecast. Granted, I'm overly sensitive to the BFP announcements these days, but that one really irritates me.
2. I have a friend whose status is always quotes from her kids...like a conversation she had with one of them. I wouldn't mind so much if A) she occasionally posted something different, or
the conversations were actually funny.
Our Blog!
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain."
Carrie - your 2nd one made me LOL. And yes, I know what you mean about the "I'm expecting" post. I've had a few. The first person to post it already has 4 kids and when I first saw it I was like 'WHAT??'. Two people actually made comments to her thinking she was really pregnant because they didn't read the whole thing...lol!
I also wanted to make a little funny confession. Most of the pet peeves I listed were done by my SIL on a daily basis. I hated having her for a FB friend but never had the guts to delete her. So...last week after an incident between DH and I, his parents, and his sister (it's a long story), I made a FB post that said something like 'lazy people make me angry' that was directly aimed at her. After I got a few comments I mentioned how I was me being "passive agressive" and trying to get my frustrations out. Also, my BFF, who knew what I meant, made a comment that was very vaguely aimed at SIL. I honestly had no idea she would even read it or have any idea that I was talking about her...but she did and she deleted me and had actually made her status something about 'deleting passive aggressive people from fb'. Not very mature on my part, I know, but I haven't regretted it for one single second. I'm glad she's off my friends list AND I got the outcome I wanted in the situation with DHs parents because I think my post made her think that maybe she is lazy (and when I say lazy you have no idea the extent of it)...so it all worked out in the end : )
I know we all have different political views, but dint act like we are stupid for not agreeing with you. Don't tell us that we are wring for not wanting to adopt. This girl would argue with people and call them stupid because they had an opinion on something. I hid her because I was tired of her drama. .
I don't mind the videos, but when you post one after another.
There is one girl on my list who posts about 7-8 posts a day about how much she hates "Commiefornia" and Obama and liberals and on and on and on.If she hates "Commiefornia" so much, maybe she should move to another state! I know that I'm probably a minority democrat around on this board but I personally don't clash with people over political views and I really feel like this girl is a little over the top. Honestly, if it was a liberal person posting their views all the time it would also piss me off. The thing is most of her friends are the same way and I remember she posted something a few weeks ago about how she hung out with my bff, Chana and someone posted "Chana sounds too much like Obama, ditch her." Thankfully outside of FB she isn't as bad because my bff is an extreme liberal and they get along very well - they just don't mention politics!
TMI posts also get to me. One girl posted about her hands free breast pump then how she was ovulating and so on and so on and then she posted a status update the other day that said something along the lines of "Delete me as a friend if you think I share TMI" so clearly I'm not the only one!
People who post all of their dirty laundry in their status. Baby daddy drama, my wife thinks I'm cheating, my wife is a B, I know that slut isn't trying to be friends with me. etc. It's awful!
95% of these posts are from very immature people from back home. most got pg in high school or right after and all seem to thrive on drama.
I also have a friend from hs that's doing the hcg injection diet. She posts every day..I've lost 12 pounds in 3 days! 19 lbs in 5 days! And every time she posts everyone asks how she's doing it and she goes into the spill. She gets like 10 people who say they're going to sign up and do the diet too just based on her word. I think the diet sounds so dangerous and unhealthy and it makes me mad to see everyone following along blindly. Plus, it frustrates me that I'm working out 6x a week to shape up and doing it the right and she's taking the 'easy' unhealthy way out. I know she'll gain it back, but it's frustrating right now!
Gina, I'm the same way. I took a few days break myself last week. I don't like being brought down by people's drama or being irritated by the things people post. When I came back to fb I've started 'hiding all posts' as soon as I see a post from someone negative.
TMI posts bug me, like when people share every little detail of their life.
All of those games, and the one where people answer questions about you too.
Or, when family deletes you from their friends list. Seriously?!
THIS!
And political related posts that are done just to get people aggravated and fighting. Can't we all just get along?
Also the hourly updates of what people are doing? Really? I don't need to know that you just went to the dentist/post office/took your kids to daycare/read an email...blah blah blah.
i usually block people who have posts that annoy me. haha
1. tmi posts (one of my friends is 25 and just had her 3rd kid. after she got pregnant with baby #3, she posted about YES she & her husband know what they were doing, YES they were trying to have 3 kids under 4 years, etc.....and then she posted that her husband was getting a vasectemy. ummmmmmmmm. ?? didnt need to know that?
2. using facebook like twitter (or maybe they're linked?) - i.e. minute to minute updates of their day
3. i recently blocked a coworker because she kept being too disgustingly open about her relationship with her boyfriend (i.e. it's raining - a good night for baby making....) and then she posted how much she hated him/he treated her bad/they were over/GET GONE...... and then 2 days later they were back together and they would always be and she loved it when he bought her victorias secret panties. ummmmm ????
4. i recently blocked another friend b/c she kept posting about how passionate she was about XXXXX college and their football team and they were such a classy school and the rival school was just jealous and had really rude/unclassy fans and she'd be an XXXX college fan in good times and bad .... she didnt even go to that college - she went to a local junior college.
