What do you hide people/un-friend people for?
I hid a person who just started selling some BS called Zija (it's a weight loss/skin product/energy supplement product) and it's all she posts about. If I gave a sh!t after your first post, I would have contacted you. I get so annoyed when people don't make a business page and start hawking their crap on their personal page.
Re: Facebook poll
--Any type of personal business venture. Make a business page.
--Moms who think they're the first person in the world to get pregnant, give birth, and raise a child
--Emo over-sharers
Sometimes I don't hide the trainwrecks
Free entertainment!
I unfriended a girl who kept calling Obama the antichrist. She was some random girl anyway who I hadn't seen in twenty-five years, and I figured it was better that we were done in life.
I hide the histrionics and the ones who brag all the time.
Those that make it their personal soapbox, drama-club, or just too much. When people start "calling out" others for their wrong-doings I typically hit the delete button, I consider myself an adult and weary quickly of silliness.
ETA: There was this one girl (knew her from eons ago) who wrote a status that read (somewhat) "Finally got Steve Jones to pay child support... I mean our daughter is only 10 years old. On to kid number 2's dad."
I deleted her within 2 mins.
I tend to hide rather than unfriend, but things that will get you hidden include:
1. Trying to sell me something
2. Getting way too Jesus-y (prostheletizing for the most part)
3. Telling me about how much you adore your husband/child/pet and how he/she/it is such a wonderful part of your life every.single.day
I unfriend people I never talk to. If we aren't close enough to at least post on the other person's wall occasionally, I don't want to share details of my life with them.
I've hidden a few people because their status updates are always about the same thing, or they update their status way too often so I have to read through 20 of their updates to see anybody else's.
Me neither, really. I just hide their updates.
I did go through and try to purge my facebook friend list awhile back. Once I hit 800 "friends" I decided things were a little out of control! Time to downsize!
I need to go through and purge my FB. Most of the people I'm friends with are from my college days, and we don't even talk anymore. It's time to downsize. I feel bad unfriending people, for some reason, but I doubt they'd notice if I did so.
I hide people for a lot of the same reasons you guys do:
-- people who talk way too much about politics and how this country is going to hell [and especially talk sh!t about the people who run our country...I know you don't have to agree with them, but calling them all sorts of names and wishing ill on their family is ridiculous]
-- people who are all wrapped up in themselves/their weddings/their babies and think everyone else should care about it as much as they do
-- whiny, drama-filled people
I hide all the farmville, fishville, mafiaville, etc. updates.
I've hidden one family member because of the things he was posting during the last election.
I unfriended someone after he equated MAPS in OKC to Obama being a socialist and I told him he didn't know what he was talking about. He responded that he should have known not to lay his pearls before swine.
I've also hidden friends/family of my exBF, just because I don't want to see their pics, but don't want to un-friend.
I have never hide anyone, but I guess there are people I would like to hide, like complainers about their life and other people. It get's on my nerves! Luckily, there are only a few people on my facebook that would classify.
I delete people whom I have not talked to (facebook or in person) in a long time and people that are no longer in my life.
I don't typically unfriend or hide people, but the people who usually get the side eye from me are
1) people who post personal drama on facebook (see WT definition in people poll). There should never be any mention of child support, baby daddies/mammas, fights with your spouse/SO/friends, etc.
2) people who complain all the time
3) people who post passive aggressive comments directed at other people in their status
4) people who post cryptic 'woe is me' statuses just so others will ask them what's wrong. Just beg for attention already and get it over with. This is similarly annoying when the person is dying to brag about something but insists on making someone give them the go-ahead
Yes---this too! How could I forget this one?
