What do you hide people on FB for?
Mrs. Mo said below she thinks people prob hid her because of the pics she posts. For me though, I never hide people over that.
I hide people for: constantly complaining about life and doing nothing about it, saying super vulgar things all the time (or posting vulgar things on peoples pages- i have a friend who is 45 and is friends with a bunch of 19 year olds and basically has text sex with them on FB, its so gross), or asking people for money on FB.
Oh sometimes if they are overly political/religious.

Re: What do you hide people on FB for?
Stand up for something you believe in.
Politics don't bother me TOO much. Overly religious posts do though... you start telling me that all gays should go to hell. But then at that point, we prolly shouldn't be friends anyway.
People who complain, and complain, and complain. Not even about their jobs - just about life. Poor Me posts are definitely grounds for hiding.

The overly political posters are the main people I hide. I don't mind if they are once in a while - or during election season- but I HATE when someone posts something almost every day.
I also hate the overly-critical posters. You know the type, they will grab any news story and tear it apart to try to show why their beliefs are better than others. These are like the Smo's of FB.
Since I post a ton of pics of Gabby, I don't mind seeing other people's pics. However, if you constantly post pics of really bad doodles that look like a 3 year old drew them, I will hide you.

Ugh, yes. One of my sister's friends friended me (I rejected her 3x before she said something to my sister about being hurt by it so I added her) and she constantly puts up pics of her new make-up "stylings". OMFG. They're seriously hookerish. I had to hide her to protect my eyes.
Stand up for something you believe in.
I have all games hidden and if you send me too many game request I used to delete the person, now you can just block game requests form them which I do now.
You will be unfriended if you complain constantly. I defriended at least one niner specifically for this reason.
There are a couple people I went to highschool with that I haven't brought myself to delete because we do bump into each other from time to time but I have the posts hidden because they're just not interesting to me.
I hide people who say "Goodnight FB" and yes I have more than 3 who do it. Seriously you need FB to tuck you in at night?
I have Jon's aunt blocked so she can't see my post because no matter what it was, she would like the post, then comments "Like this!" then proceeds to write something about her self and used the word dear 7 times..... " Oh I am glad you are doing well dear. How is Jon dear? It's so nice and warm here in California. Hope to see you soon dear..... blah blah. Hell she sent an anniversary card to us and wrote about what her and her husband were doing for their anniversary and other crap.
- overly political people
- people who are uber negative and complain about everything like 100 times a day
- in general, anyone who posts more than like 5 times a day (my aunt, omg)
- the former Niner I hid posted like 800 times a day about her pregnancy - the fruit size things, the countdown until he was born, the countdown til the gender reveal, the countdown til the gender reveal party, pics of the nursery every day, pics of her belly like every day.... insanity.
Chances of you hiding Kirk by November if you have not already: 100%
Stand up for something you believe in.
he's not too bad yet. He's at least posting articles or whatever, making intelligent arguments. I hate the people that are like "eff that Muslim Obama" type crap. THOSE are the people who get hidden. I can't handle opposing ideas and even political passion, as long as it's within reason and intelligent.
I hide lots of people
- all of my family members.
- any game or any other dumb requests
- anyone under the age of 20- which are my cousins and all my dance students.
- anyone who posts eleventy bajillion sports updates
- anyone who posts more than 4/5x a day
- anyone who checks in all the time
- anyone who vague books
- anyone who is constantly "woe is me"
At times this is everyone I know I feel like and if that day they annoyed me I hide them. Then a couple weeks later I'll go and un-hide them when I've realized I'm crazy and why bother cen having FB if I'm gonna hide just about everyone lol
:Blog:
YES. I hate how much of a PITA it is now. I think that's also why I just hide instead of unfriending. It's just easier.
Yeah that makes sense. I've contemplated deleting my facebook but everyone always freaks out because I'm the one that posts photos of Alex, Joel doesn't really. I've also contemplated deleting it and just using Joel's to post photos lol. He's never on his either.
People who vaguebook.
People who complain all the time.
People who are just plain trashy and have way too much drama in their lives and feel the need to share it. Some people from high school have friended me and air all their dirty laundry about baby's daddy #3 and restraining orders, etc. Who knows, I've hidden her posts a long time ago. Others I have defriended. No thank you.
On the flipside, it annoys me when people who were the ones that friended me in the first place proceed to be really annoying FB'ers, and then go on to defriend me. They do me a favor, but I kind of want to follow-up with them and ask them what on earth I did to deserve a de-friend. I don't know, maybe it is my ego, it's hard to explain, but it annoys me.
People who preach at me.
People who post nothing but game requests.
People who post statuses that are like 10000 lines long (whatever happened to the character limit?)
I restrict co-workers who insist on sending multiple friend requests that I do not want knowing my personal business.
I seriously wish I could hid my MIL and SIL- seriously every picture I post of Charlotte (and I do quite often so family who arent in town can see them) they HAVE to comment on. STOP NOW. We even blocked them from commenting and they figured it out and it caused issues. I really wish I could trade them in.
I hide mostly for these reasons-
kids i used to babysit that feel the need to post all the time
people who are friends with one specific ex that they post pictures of from time to time- I dont want to revisit this but you keep me entertained.
Terrible spelling (on purpose) - you are not cool for this.
farmville folks
Pretty much the same reasons as everyone else
- debbie downers and vaguebookers
- overly or often religious posters
- I just block game notices, not the people who play them
Most baby posters don't bother me, especially since I post so much of Newt, but there is one person I am so tempted to hide because her posts sort of cause me to rage. You know the my brilliant 4mo old has a 5 word vocabulary, vaccines are too poisonous for my preshus, no other parent is as good as me, kind of posts.
I hide people who are constantly trying to convince everyone their way is right. I dont have a problem with people having differing opinions from me. But if it is constantly being shoved down my throat, particularly if there is no intelligent reasoning or thought behind it, I don't care to see it.
For instance I recently hid a friend of J's who is always posting about how people should co-sleep, should breastfeed, and should not vaccinate.
I actually agree with her on many of these things, however its her constant shoving it down peoples throats, coupled with the fact that whenever she links "evidence" there is nothing credible, no objective information and no individual thought to anything she posts. Its just mindless belief in and regurgitation of things she has seen online or in the media. So I blocked her (and others like her) to keep myself from developing an negative opinion of her as a mindless zombie, so if I ever meet her face to face I can enjoy our get together.
I also hide people who are constantly posting everything they and their families do all day long. One in particular culprit probably posted every 5 minutes, all day. " the 4 year old used the potty", "The baby is napping","the hubby is cutting his nails", " I need a shower." Blah- I do not care! (btw- calling her kids "the 4 year old", "the baby" etc. is not me, that is how she referred to everyone.)
I also have hidden my SIL's best friend, who J and I really dont like (and is a total moron), but she apparently doesn't feel the same. To keep from creating family drama I keep her on my list, but prefer to pretend she isn't there.

Vaguebookers, Debbie Downers, and intentionally bad grammar will get you hid.
I hid my teenage cousin because she insists on proclaiming her love for her boyfriend over and over and over. I am so thankful fb didn't exist when I was a teenager.
I'm about to hid my bff if she doesn't stop posting about school 5 times a week. She started back to college this semester and complains about school and studying non-stop. It's all she talks about now too! It's definitely a WE GET IT!!! situation.
