FB Tuesday?

Tuesday's not a day for anything, right? Can we make it a day to put up ridiculous FB posts? Here's one that showed up on my wall today:

Friendships are special... So lets start a friendship ring... If you are my friend click the like button and then re-post... If I don't see your name, I'll understand.

I usually just roll my eyes and scroll over these kinds of things, but the last sentence made me stop in my tracks. What the heck? Passive-aggressive much? Of course, the woman has 162 friends and exactly 7 have liked that status. I guess she's got a lot of "understanding" to do.

Re: FB Tuesday?

  • These stupid things are the chain letters of the 21st century.

    I notice that people who post these tend to be 1) older so probably don't "get" FB as well as we young whipper snappers or 2) not the brightest to begin with.

    In this situation:

    1) check

  • Those things are stupid, luckily most of my friends are bright enough not to.

    At the moment my FB annoyance is a girl I knew here growing up. She married a US army guy and continued a relationship which should of died out. She came to visit us in GA after they had their first baby. She contemplated staying with us and not going back because he wouldn't let her go out with friends, she wasn't allowed a DL. He had no job, his parents were verbally abusive to her etc... 

    Now two kids later life is magically better and he's the love of her life?! I don't get it, how can you go from leaving him (she did actually leave him and went to a women's shelter. She was kicked out for contacting him).

  • Well it's a toss up. There is the flakey girl I met in Z?rich who just put her headshots up. She's 24 and they way thy are done make her look 40 (well a hot plastic surgery 40.)

    Then I follow someone who posts my old hometowns police scanner.

    female sitting porch stairs...cop asks other cop "any words of wisdom or encouragement" cop says"she prolly won't like you" other cop.."that wasn't to encouraging"

    14xx south 19th-2 adults throwing knifes around thehouse...both people drunk

    9xx dilingham ave-mother came to babysitters house to pick up children but was extremely wasted. babysitter told mom to leave n shut the door.

    Sometimes I read them and get a laugh and other time it's a bit depressing.

  • I think I have far too few FB friends to play this game (65, including a few INers).  I am not sure if that says I don't know how to use FB properly or just that my friends are pretty good ones to have.

  • I love the police scanner ones :-) I agree that that could be depressing, but it's definitely better than the "chain status updates"

    This, I'm sure, would make an awesome blog.

  • I have one very annoying girl that thankfully only seems to get on a few times a week, but she blocks my whole newsfeed with these stupid little inspiration quotes or even worse horrible quotes that she finds funny, I have tried turning her down but some still escape through.

    Are you FB friends with my mother??  That sounds exactly like her.

    They are interesting to read. The city over from where I'm from is know for it's mess of news headlines. Including assault with a cactus, kid who climbed into the the stuff animal arcade game, and the drunk mayor who made it onto YouTube.

    Probably! But there is something just awesome about reading it all in short snippets. It started out just being on twitter and now it's on both. Someone started a website to put up the messed up news stories.

  • Luckily for me, all the really dumb status updates come from family, so I just put them all in the "Family" list and then turn off the updates in my news feed.  Sigh...that way, I never have to deal with it.

  • I hardly ever look at my feed anymore. FB makes it too stupid now. I click on 'more stories' and it mixes some that I haven't seen yet in with the ones I have seen and I have to go on a stupid hunt for them. WTF? I only ever check my groups, and sometimes I'll go to specific peoples' pages to check up on them.

    My cousin once removed keeps posting images that have a bunch of adjectives on them, and then tagging people who fit each adjective. I'm guessing this is the latest cool thing for people in her much younger age group, but I'll just say it doesn't motivate me to wade through the aforementioned stupidity to check my feed. ;)

  • The most ridiculous person on my FB is one I've shared here before.  She doesn't know the proper time to use a question mark.  She posted on our mutual friend's wall recently "How exciting, Congrats to you both?"  I'd usually give someone the benefit of the doubt and assume the best that this was just a typo, but this isn't the only time I've seen this from her.  
  • I love this idea. I'm so tired of my "older" family posting stupid chit.  Its like them getting email all over again..every stupid azz joke out there.

    I think one of my aunts blocked me because I went off  on her.  She posted a YouTube clip and I watched it and it was that stupid one where a zombie or something pops on the screen to scare you.  I jumped and screamed and woke u p DS.  I was furious so I went off on her LOL
