Lamest/annoying fb status
Totally nabbed this idea from my month board. FF
Post the lamest status update on your fb that is not yours (even if it means hunting the people you block).
Re: Lamest/annoying fb status
One chick I deleted always referred to her boyfriend as "Daddy".
And spoke in the foulest language about his other baby mama. It was ridiculous so I deleted her. My sister is still friends with her so I get funny updates periodically.
Another friend Posts All of Her Statuses Capitalizing The First Letter of Each Word. I Want to Stab Myself Every Time I See Her Posts. And she posts all about her marriage issues.
From my 8 year old niece who should not even be on facebook
"Needs to get her two C's up on her report card"
Hmmm I don't have to wonder why she has two C's.
Some of the things my 13 year old cousin posts on facebook makes me shake my head.
ETA: DH and I actually both think you should have to be 18 to have a facebook account. It allows kids too much freedom to get in trouble and bully others. Internet bullying is such a huge problem because you never have to say anything to the person's face. I can't imagine how high school would've been for us if facebook was invented then.
Agreed that 8-year-olds should not have facebook.
I don't have one specific post but all of the "vague" type posts. You know, like "... is devastated." with no explanation as to why. They want people to ask and wonder. I don't think facebook is a place to air your drama and I don't understand why you would want to.
Welcome to the dark side
I just cleared out my friends list so I can't go find prime examples but some include:
ThE gIrL wHo TyPeS eVeRyThIng LiKe tHiS
The people who do nothing but complain about how much life sucks and that nothing ever goes their way. Seriously? Life is what you make it. And you don't need a FB.
The girl who puts ALLLL of her business out there including what her husband is doing to cause them to divorce and information about a yeast infection. Ummm, not on FB!!!
My old neighbor's 10 year old (who shouldn't have a FB) who has this quote as one of her favorites: Treat me like an angel, I'll be your devil WHAT!??! You're TEN!
I could go on and on....
The worst is when one of their friends falls for it and asks what's wrong, and the person replies, "I don't want to talk about it" Uh, obviously you do!
Exactly.
Also, what's with the checking in at home?? I think it's interesting to see what kind of restaurants and bars and activities my friends are into but checking in at work every morning and home every evening is lame.
Welcome to the dark side
Okay. This made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.
Welcome to the dark side
OMG, I have so many that irritate me, where do I even start?
From one of my cousins:
I am sik and tired of my 1st b.m runing her mouth bout me whn she da 1 who took my kid and movd knwn i dnt hv a d.l 2 go c her. *** shut ur mouth i been payn c.s 4 her since da she was born and my mom hlp out al da time 2 kik roks and grw da *** up..
Say whaaaat?????
From my aunt:
believes...if it makes you SMILE, it's totally worth it...big or small, whatever 'it' is
Really? So an affair is worth it? Drugs are worth it? Just shut up with your stupid trying to be inspirational sayings.

my read shelf:
This is my friend's cousin. "WHY IS THE INDUSTRY SET UP TO KEEP AN ARTIST IN DEBT ???!"
Um, what? I have no idea what she's even talking about.
This whole reply cracked me up and the 10 year old one left me speechless for a minute. WTF???
This!! My sister does that or announces when she has plans for the night. Sooo dumb. She has like a bazillion friends too.
Nothing wrong with saying something after the fact but I just can't bring myself to say things like "out for the night" or "road trip". I don't care if my friends list is small it still makes me paranoid.
My sister and I got into a huge fight this summer because right before she and her FI went on a cruise with my mom and aunt and uncle, she posted it on her Facebook, announcing that she couldn't wait for her 7 day cruise with x, y and z. I told her to take it down and she didn't want to. Finally, after explaining Facebook to my mom and tattling on her, mom made her take it down.
I have a fb friend who's husband travels for work, often apparently. Every time he leaves she posts something like "Just me and (daughter) home alone for 17 days!!"
Hello?!!
Yeah that's not very smart.
