Facebook posts so pathetic they belong in this thread!!!

[heybrad]

Pulling this out of the random thoughts thread and creating a thread all its own.

We all seem to have friends who can't seem to avoid airing their drama with pathetic Facebook posts. Share them here for all to enjoy. Here is an example of someone on my friend list who is constantly posting about the pain and drama of their life. I'd suggest we leave names out but I am keeping their formatting.

"If there was something I could say to make u see how sorry Iam . But u already know that wishing u would say something to me this is hurting really bad"

[heybrad]

Here's an interesting one...

"Now the nut jobs smoking week or crack I can't tell with that room spray cover up ."

[heybrad]

and one more...

"I'm so compeld to touch my phone I'm oppsesive"

[GoSeahawks]

"Ten years of love and devotion thrown away! I can't stand the thought of my kids having a step mom."

From my best guess, I think this marriage was over three to four years ago and the official divorce was about a year ago.

[Radii]

not exactly the same but there was an article on espn yesterday about michael vick hoping that he can make the cover of madden 12 and I was randomly clicking around my desktop like I do in very OCD fashion and accidentally liked and recommended the article. I got it removed before any of my animal lover friends saw it and destroyed me. Whoops.

I have one noteworthy serial offender. Just picking the latest one:

"Yeah i talk DIRTY, i talk about SEX to my friend so what not like im goin around sleepin with guys, ur just jealous cos im not viet lolz eat shit bitch..."

[ColtCrazy]

I don't have a specific post, but the wife of a friend has a 1 year old she vicariously lives through by putting her through pageants.

One day she had entered into a contest on Facebook. Whoever had the most "likes" by a certain time won something trivial like a free hairbow or something stupid.

Anyway, throughout the day she constantly posts things like "Only 5 hours to go, we are just 3 behind" "Please vote for my daughter!" Several people get private messages from her to beg for a vote.

I get fed up half way through the day and pull my like from her daughter and give it to the other person. The daughter of this crazied mom ended up losing by 2. Whoops on me. :D

Within hours a losing she makes a post that looks like "Thanks to all my FRIENDS that helped us out."

Apparently this pisses some people off and she posts the next morning how sorry she is for causing drama.

Needless to say, I ended up blocking about 4-5 people after this. Drama over a pageant? Wow.

[stevew]

That just shows the power of one vote!

[Pumpy Tudors]

ooh can i use this thread to re-post all the political shit i see fouling up facebook

[sabotai]

Not a specific post, but I always get amused when someone will post about having fun while hanging out with a few people, they all reply "Had a great time!" and then one person who wasn't there sarcastically replies "Thanks for inviting me."

[EagleFan]

I have no idea why I am on FB and actually check that site 2nd only to here. There are so many people that post things that annoy me.

First...
Another GREAT workout. It's not easy keeping yourself this sculpted
Seriously? You're that starved for attention that you feel the need to post this crap?

Then we have this gem...
A "great" day at the "pool", but "every" day is a great "day" at "the pool", it's good to "be" me.
I don't know what's worse, that this jackass lucked into marrying into money, that he feels the need to let everyone know it or that he has no fucking clue how to use quotes. Another friend (one that is ctually a good friend) also has this guy as one of his friends (we went to school together and it's a small class); I randomly take this guy's posts and PM them to my other friend with the actual interpretation based upon his use of quotes.

From the above guy in response to my friend posting a picture of his wife and kids...
Nice "family" you've got there.
Interpretation... nice picture but I am sure it is just like the default picture that comes from a picture frame, there is no way that you could have a real family.

Paraphrase of almost ever post from someone that I really like as a person but she gets insane over facebook...
Why does the world hate me? Everything bad always happens to me.
She's not like that in person, I just don't get it. She has some serious issues if these are her real feelings. Tried to talk to her about it but she just blows it off.

[heybrad]

Here's a pleasant one.

"I hope you die."

I really don't think I could even come close to picking just one or two, I'd end up setting the record for supermegadola posting.

More than the unnecessary drama posts though, I'm getting half past annoyed by the new "Question" feature or whatever the hell they're calling the poll thingy. Not a single one of them I've seen has included Trout as an option, so wth good are they anyway?

Just run a search for anything remotely confrontational.

[Karlifornia]

My aunt posts a lot of religious stuff that I just roll my eyes at, but she's always been nice to me so I don't take too much issue with it.

There's some girl I'm facebook friends with that constantly lets everyone what she's doing with her boyfriend. It never really wavers. She says how they're in the tropics, and she'll let everyone know that they're getting a burrito down the street, too. I can't tell if it pisses me off because I used to want to fuck her, or just because it makes her seem like a self-important airhead.

Then, there was this couple that are both my facebook friends. They would break up and get back together once a week, and they'd both update their relationship status every time. That resulted in "Oh no! Hang in there!" and "Love is so great" posts from people every time. The guy finally knocked her up and they constantly update their statuses with "I love you so much" to each other. Do they not know how much they suck?

[SackAttack]

Karl, maybe they know exactly how much they suck and they're doing it with the express purpose of pissing you off.

Because that's the alternative to not knowing, really.

[RainMaker]

Karlifornia basically described why I don't use Facebook anymore and have no intention to.

I had one friend who did the same thing with his girlfriend/fiance. Every other week their relationship status changed, everyone had to say some crap like "stay strong, etc". Then a week later they were back together. When they'd fight they'd also leave cryptic messages on their facebook. Shit like "it sucks when the person you thought you trusted the most turns out to not trust you". I just don't fucking care to have that shit in my face.

The other is the person who needs to brag about something constantly. Either it's a proud parent who updates non-stop about every little thing their kid is doing. "Wiping the baby's ass", "Baby just puked, ewww".

Or one who was married to a guy who became a police officer. All of a sudden her entire Facebook existence turned to joining every police officer group known to man and commenting on every single fallen officer ever. One day her brother-in-law who is a bit of a goof made a silly joke after she was updating her shit with a ton of stuff. He just wrote "we get it Cindy, you're married to a police officer" with a smile at the end. She flipped the fuck out over it.

[SteveMax58]

Karlifornia basically described why I don't use Facebook anymore and have no intention to.



+1

I dont have an account but my wife does and the bit about the police officer's wife thing is very true for some of the people she knows. I like that joke from the B-I-L...sounds like something I'd do.

Also...all of my old friends from my high school & shortly after years usually friends my wife on there. One such old friend uses it as a blog to profess his love for his girlfriend (or wife maybe IDK) constantly. Really obnoxious stuff...I really need to find some of those and post them.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Karlifornia basically described why I don't use Facebook anymore and have no intention to.

Y'know, if everyone you know on FB annoys you like what Karl describes, maybe the problem isn't FB per se but rather how you've chosen to manage your friends list over there.

Everybody's wall gets a jaw-clinching eyeroller occasionally, I get that. But to be driven off FB by the weight of them kind of reminds me of folks who used to spend hours bitching about the game notifications/requests when it was quite a simple matter to make them disappear.

[RainMaker]

That's just part of it. The main reason is probably that I am just a private person. I don't want my ex-gf to know who I'm dating. I don't want my family to read about how I got blasted on a Friday night at a strip club. I'm not a recluse or anything, but I enjoy having that bit of privacy in my life. Yes I could be real careful who I allow in and what I read/don't read, but it's more of a hassle at that point. I feel like Facebook was almost created for people looking for attention (which is something I try to avoid).

What it boils down to is what I'm getting out of it. The only thing I do enjoy about it is hearing from people I don't talk to regularly. Finding out my old roommate from college is having a baby, or an old friend's Mother passed away. Important stuff that might not have gotten to me had it not been for Facebook. But that seems to make up about 1% of the stuff going on there and there is just far too much noise to make it a productive use of my time.

[Suburban Rhythm]

I have one "friend" who I seriously want to hunt down and beat.
She has about 1,500 "friends", and updates her status every 3 minutes.

All her posts are of this variety-

"I've finally realized that when you tell a person you'll always be there for them, that doesn't mean they'll always be there for you"

"I've learned the hard way there is no such thing as a pain killer...the best you can hope for is a pain-postponer"

But this is the best-- in her bio:

"Whatever you give a woman she will make greater. Give her sperm, she will make a baby. Give her a house, she will make a home. Give her a smile, she will give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what she is given. So if you give her any crap, BE READY!"

And-

She's a single mother, so she whines alot about not having "someone". But her picture is her in a wedding dress...to my knowledge, she was never actually married to the father.

[PackerFanatic]

I love the people who think they are being so thoughtful and mind-blowing when the post the statuses from places like StatusShuffle. Better still than those people are the people that comment on those statuses acting as if they are real posts.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve to see me at my best.

[mauchow]

This is a variation of the same freakin' thing twice a week from my old neighbor..

"Pondering how someone can say they are your friend and will always be there for you, but when you need them most, they let you down. Guess I set my expecations WAY TO HIGH....On that note, I'm off to bed...Good Night FB friends!"

[Suburban Rhythm]

I got de-friended by a group of people over this

A girl I worked with for a long time (over 6 years) loves to get in on the stupid "banana" or "on the table" or any of these stupid inside jokes.

I told her it was dumb, she said "It's to raise awareness for breast cancer, it's not dumb!"

"Ummmm...you know what would raise awareness for breast cancer? Actually posting something about breast cancer, and not a random fruit. All that makes me aware of is you are an idiot!"

She, and consequently about 5 "mutual friends" de-friended me.

I'll vouch for that, and the blogosphere trumps even Twitter.

A lot of farmers do have quite the martyr complex.

I keep that kind of crap out of my blog. All it does is attract the opposition anyway.

[Suburban Rhythm]

Another recent favorite, this just cracked me up:

(To set up, friends with a girl who was a year behind me in school, lived up the street from my parents, her parents are still there. Known each other for 30 years. Her mom and dad just recently joined FB.)

Mom posts on daughters wall-

'K....dad had a kidney stone attack, going to hospital by ambulance'

It was a Saturday, posted about 7 am.

About 10am or so, daughter responds

'Mom...is this for real? On Facebook??'

Mom "Oops, sorry...I thought I was sending you a private message"

WTF...even if you did think it was a private message....a call or a text to her cell wouldn't have been a better option? Who think Facebook is the best method to contact someone!?!?!

[jeff061]

I don't understand why you would ever send a private message in Facebook. Isn't email simply easier? I've had people send me private messages in Facebook. I never ever use my Facebook account, annoys me.

[JonInMiddleGA]

WTF...even if you did think it was a private message....a call or a text to her cell wouldn't have been a better option? Who think Facebook is the best method to contact someone!?!?!

One of the more reliable methods lately, especially when people aren't answering their phones because they're on FB.

[Young Drachma]

I don't understand why you would ever send a private message in Facebook. Isn't email simply easier? I've had people send me private emails in Facebook. I never ever use my Facebook account, annoys me.

Well, their new integrated messaging system actually gives you an @facebook.com email account. I've had mine for a few months now and while I don't give it out, it's useful in the sense that I can reply to facebook notes straight from email as if they're emails and all conversations -- chat, messages and emails -- are kept together, which is sorta handy.

But only if you're some kind of user of the utility obviously.

[JonInMiddleGA]

I don't understand why you would ever send a private message in Facebook. Isn't email simply easier? I've had people send me private emails in Facebook.

That one is pretty easy to explain I think, the majority of ppl I communicate with on FB aren't people that I've ever swapped email addresses with. Plus, FB is more likely to be open for at least some users.

[Suburban Rhythm]

Meh, maybe with a distant friend or something. But her Mom? If she didn't respond to the FB post in about 15 minutes, maybe a text or phone call would have been in order. Especially at 7am.

It just screamed of "i'm telling you, but really I want to tell everyone"

[JonInMiddleGA]

Meh, maybe with a distant friend or something. But her Mom? If she didn't respond to the FB post in about 15 minutes, maybe a text or phone call would have been in order. Especially at 7am.

Depends upon the urgency of the news I guess. If kidney stones aren't anything new to the poor guy, it probably isn't his first trip to the ER with one. What I really suspect though is that she didn't me private msg in the sense that it appeared in her FB inbox, but rather that she thought posting it to her daughter's wall would be visible only to the daughter. That's a mistake I see made probably once or twice a week.

It just screamed of "i'm telling you, but really I want to tell everyone"

Thing is, I really don't have a problem with that. I could name at least three non-family members that I can tell you pretty much every time they've had a stone in the past year. Not to mention gall bladder attacks, and more "female surgeries" than I care to count (which is one that I do think crosses into TMI, at least at the level of detail I've seen on various walls).

"BOY'S GETTIN THERE HAIRCUT..."

[jeff061]

Ah, true, didn't think of that. Everyone I am remotely interested in communicating with I have their email address. But luckily I am not indicative of the social populace at large.

[JediKooter]

I'm with Karl, I get really tired of all the religious posts. Are you that insecure that you have to let everyone know that jesus has a plan for you? Jesus is helping you lose weight, etc, etc, on and on...I really feel like I should start posting that satan is now helping me out with the most trivial things in life like getting up in the morning to go to work, you know, because he has a plan.

[jeff061]

.I really feel like I should start posting that satan is now helping me out with the most trivial things in life like getting up in the morning to go to work, you know, because he has a plan.

This is how I act. It's very isolating.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I know some assclown who put up a status of "i still got da innanet goin nuts" or something like that. I hate that guy.

Wait, it was me. :(

[JediKooter]

I'm sure that would free up some friends space real quick on my list. As I'm pretty sure that the majority of the b-thumpers would not get the point. It just gets old. I can see one or two here and there, but, every single day??

I would love to post this:
"Maybe god would be able to help out the starving kids with cancer if he wasn't spending all of his time with your trivial day to day life crap..."

[GoSeahawks]

"Happy friday everyone, or happy earth day to some. Personally I don't believe in worshiping mother earth (demon), instead I will use this day to worship my lord and savior Jesus Christ."

I'm tempted to, but, most are family members. I'm torn. On one hand I want to say something. On the other, I'm tempted to post atheist quotes. I'm sure if I did that, the 'problem' would work itself out. :)

Haha! Thanks, but, I have more than I can read from a cousin and a friend from high school that apparently connects her love of god to her relationship problems. Oh and my sister in law. And they are mundane things is what blows me away. "I tied my shoes. Praise the lord!" A bit dramatic license there on my part, but, that is the level. :)

[JediKooter]

"phone is turned off till i pay bill have money but waitting for heather to get off work to take me"

And those usually have the icon that says they were posted from a mobile device.

When i see posts like this, I wonder if the moron is posting simultaneous to attempting to fight the calamity.

I came home to a fire in my wash room. Thank goodness kids were not here cuz I was freaking out. Like a dummy I threw water on an electrical fire. Was told not to do that again. Just another day in the [redacted] house!!!

Oh this reminds me of another good one. A friend of mine literally found out her Father died on Facebook. They weren't super-close and he had re-married years ago. But they were aware he was dealing with a terminal illness and preparing for it. But they found a post from his brother on Facebook one day that said something like "he is in heaven now". People actually update their Facebook status before family. Incredible.

Yeah, it didn't hit her till later on. He was on his last few weeks and had taken a turn for the worse, so she was all prepared. But still, she mentioned later on how fucked up it was to find out on Facebook and have to make a call to everyone to find out.

This is the thing that makes me crazy about FB. You have to give people a disclaimer when telling them sensitive info to not put it on FB, and even then people still put shit up. It can really be a curse.

I have one serial offender on my list. My longest, oldest childhood friend who I actually lived with throughout high school got married to a woman who is dumber than a sack of potatoes. Now they have one of those joint Facebook accounts, so to get updates on my friend, I have to deal with her mind numbing hourly posts. Here are a few from the last week.

"had a dr apt today got some questions answered and some new apts made hopefully we are moving in the rite direction that we want to be in and the news and progress will be great news"

"Thanks everyone I wish i could return them its past the 30 days so i cant i tried i still have some weight to go and 90 days to do it in and i know i can do it and the weather is starting to be nice so thats good. Once i loose the last of the weight i need for my goal im going shopping"

"its almost 3 am hubby gets up soon for work and ive been working on a babyshower gift all day thought it was comming along till i hit the same hick up twice then i figured out a new ways to do it and im almost done plz shoulder hold out just little bit longer"

[Glengoyne]

OK so I have a Facebook account. I have friends on Facebook. I NEVER use the damn thing....Mainly 'cause I feel kind of strange about divulging unimportant stuff to a wide audience who likely don't care. This feeling is exacerbated by the voluminous crap I see dribbling into MY facebook page all the time where my "friends" are posting their updates, and their "friends" add in their ersatz insightful responses. SERIOUSLY..I care what their friends say enough to get electronically updated on it?

So for you FB users here. Are all of my FB friends able to see all of the crap that friends of my other FB friends post on my other FB friend's pages? Can I turn that off? It is bad enough that I get updated on every update with one degree of separation, let alone twice removed trivialities.

Alas, maybe I'm not cut out for Facebook.

[terpkristin]

Not a specific post, but I always get amused when someone will post about having fun while hanging out with a few people, they all reply "Had a great time!" and then one person who wasn't there sarcastically replies "Thanks for inviting me."

This type of thing has caused drama at work with an oversensitive co-worker.

I also get tired of the constant religious posts. But what really gets me are the:

[RainMaker]

"had a dr apt today got some questions answered and some new apts made hopefully we are moving in the rite direction that we want to be in and the news and progress will be great news"

Let's see here, I think the answer is "it depends". Or maybe even, "no, not really".

That I'm aware of, you can control
1) Who sees anything you post.
2) Who sees anything posted to you (Friend B can/can't see what Friend A said to you on your wall).

What I don't think you can control is how much of other people's comments (once removed) that you see. That's determined by [i]their[i] settings. In other words, you can determine how private your comments are, you don't have much control over how much privacy you have from seeing other people's comments (short of blocking them individually).

[SackAttack]

They can't see it without actively looking for it, put it that way.

If their settings are such that friends of friends can see their posts, and some friends of yours are curious enough to investigate one another via your friends list, they can see that.

But as far as I know they won't see posts from your friends showing up in their news feeds.

So for you FB users here. Are all of my FB friends able to see all of the crap that friends of my other FB friends post on my other FB friend's pages? Can I turn that off? It is bad enough that I get updated on every update with one degree of separation, let alone twice removed trivialities.

Alas, maybe I'm not cut out for Facebook.

No, your FB friends can't see what your other friends post unless they are mutual friends. And even then, the posts you're seeing might be filtered in some way. Meaning that depending on the settings of that person they can show you something and not someone else or vice versa. And this can be done by default or on an individual post basis.

[DaddyTorgo]

More than the unnecessary drama posts though, I'm getting half past annoyed by the new "Question" feature or whatever the hell they're calling the poll thingy. Not a single one of them I've seen has included Trout as an option, so wth good are they anyway?

Ugh...we agree on something else.

[DaddyTorgo]

Haha! Thanks, but, I have more than I can read from a cousin and a friend from high school that apparently connects her love of god to her relationship problems. Oh and my sister in law. And they are mundane things is what blows me away. "I tied my shoes. Praise the lord!" A bit dramatic license there on my part, but, that is the level. :)

My best friend's wife and her best friend (who lives with them) are totally like that. Drives me frigging nuts, especially because I can't say anything about it. Ugh.

[Pyser]

you guys know you can block posts by people but stay their friends on the site, right?

[MrBug708]

fml. If its not one thing, its another. Not in the mood.

O < This is my stress free bubble, respect the bubble, stay out of the bubble, no touchy the bubble, go find your own bubble :o)

that creepy feeling when u dont know if thats a fly buzzing or a bee buzzing near the window :(

Salem just killed the biggest spider ever. ONE SLEEPS! :)

on a lighter note, little old asian couple next door yelling jubberish at eachother over their dog, as much as i love animals, its kinda cute how she misses hitting the dog with her cane, she aims for it and hits everything but the dog lol she almost hit her husband lmao. comedy....

whater to does today...

[DaddyTorgo]

Yeah - I do that. Or at least hide them individually - don't necessarily block them because what if they have something like...important to say

[Young Drachma]

Yeah - I do that. Or at least hide them individually - don't necessarily block them because what if they have something like...important to say

I ended up blocking like 90% of my friends. I texted one of them the other day -- she lives in another state -- and she replied with "oh, I guess you didn't see my FB status update. My dad died."

I felt bad, because my text was all jovial and stuff. I realized I needed to start the unblocking status party all over again, because I'd blocked too many people.

[KWhit]

Here's a crazy diatribe I saw recently. He mostly just replied a bunch of times to his own status:

it's like the OLD SOUTHERN ARISTOCRACY and GOOD OLD BOYS forgot about all the CONTRIBUTIONS AFRICAN AMERICAN'S MADE DOWN SOUTH when this was FARMING AND MANUFACTURING ECONOMY. THEY REPAY AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND HISPANIC KIDS WITH STRAIGHT HELL via POLICE PROFILING and CRIMINAL RECORDS.

THE GOOD OLD BOYS ARE DETERMINED TO DESTROY A WHOLE GENERATION OF MINORITY YOUTH...AFRICAN AMERICAN AND HISPANIC...(IF THAT'S NOT TRUE) PROVE IT OTHERWISE...via disproportianate number OF MINORITIES in JAIL vs. POPULATION DEMOGRAPHICS AND CRIME RATE....

THINK YOU ARE DOING GOD A FAVOR? HE'S ABOUT TO FORCE CHANGE ON ALL THAT...(SOUTHERN PROFILING POLICE AGENCIES)

WE WILL FINISH THIS CIVIL WAR AND CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT PRONTO...LIKE TODAY!!!

.'You People' (playing CARDS...RACE CARDS(join me))

EVERY TIME I DRIVE OUT OF THIS YARD...I SEE A ROCKDALE COUNTY OR CONYERS POLICE CRUISER BEHIND A YOUNG BLACK KID FOR BULLSHIT PROBABLE CAUSE...ie. NO SEAT BELT, MAKING A TURN ON A YELLOW LIGHT, PRIOR DRUG CHARGES, TINTED WINDOWS AND RAP MUSIC...etc..(1st Amendment... i dare you to come and get me)

NOT A TERRORISTIC THREAT...a figurative BURNING AWAY OF BAD POLICY via NATUARAL OCCURING CIRCUMSTANCE)


And then one guy posted the response that I thought was pretty funny:

When cops see me they buy me lunch and congratulate me on being white....

Yea it gets old reaaallll quick. One or two, here and there, no big deal. I love the "Waiting for jesus to find me that job" or "Waiting for the lord to bring me my true love". Really? How about getting off your lazy ass and doing it for yourself?

[PackerFanatic]

My wife used to babysit for a friend that did that all the time on FB... "IMMEDIATE PRAYERS NEEDED...hope this headache goes away." Come on now...

[JediKooter]

A headache? That is fantastic.

[molson]

OK, I stole this from failbook.com, but its topical:

"i will not accept that Jesus is the son of god until I see the long form birth certificate"

Yup, always little stuff like that...or homework...or sleep. I got so fed up I just de-friended her. Never liked her much anyway :)

I don't blame you one bit for doing that. I think we are all guilty of posting a few things on FB that can be irritating. I just try to minimize it as much as possible.

[Swaggs]

I like seeing joint facebook accounts between spouses. I always wonder what the poor guy did to not have the greenlight to have his own facebook account.

[heybrad]

I've seen these question things now but didn't realize anybody could create them. They'll now become the new play for attention. Here's the 'look at me' question I see today.

Should Brittany confirm Matt as her husband on Facebook?

[Young Drachma]

I like seeing joint facebook accounts between spouses. I always wonder what the poor guy did to not have the greenlight to have his own facebook account.

Yeah, this. "No, you can't talk to your HS sweetheart. I'll be screening all of your internet communication. Give me your email password, too."

[dacman]

I have a couple of buddies in this situation. In both cases it's more of a "you deal with the idiots on facebook (especially in-laws) so I don't have to" situation.

[sabotai]

Yeah, this. "No, you can't talk to your HS sweetheart. I'll be screening all of your internet communication. Give me your email password, too."

This is what I think of when I see those joint accounts, but I always assume it's the guy's doing, not the girl's.

[JonInMiddleGA]

This is what I think of when I see those joint accounts, but I always assume it's the guy's doing, not the girl's.

I've got probably a half dozen of those, all but one of which is virtually certain to have been the wife's doing.

[Pumpy Tudors]

My wife and I don't even have a joint bank account. She sure doesn't want a joint Facebook account with me. She'd rather not have her name anywhere near some of the savory goodness people post on my wall.

[Young Drachma]

This is what I think of when I see those joint accounts, but I always assume it's the guy's doing, not the girl's.

Yeah I've noticed it only as the women's doing. I do have one guy I know who does it, but it's not joint. It's his wife's and he hates FB and computers (Except for YouTube for MMA videos) and so he just tells folks to add her to stay in touch.

[molson]

It's best to just have a secret facebook account for your old high school girfriends. Keep that shit in one place.

[lungs]

Ohhh.... another one I saw a while back. Two middle aged women arguing about their 16 year old children breaking up.

[Young Drachma]

Wow. That's impressive.

[stevew]

Yeah, these make me laugh. Unless it's just a family account to post pictures or something.

[stevew]

So I go from not working to having three jobs n contemplating going downtown to finish my bachelors to apply for the PT doctorate program what's wrong with me lol???


sigh. Plus the feedback these "look at me" posts generate is nauseauting.

[lungs]

Wow. That's impressive.

Funniest part was that the teenage lovebirds were back together a few days later.

[Pumpy Tudors]

if you read one post and it piss you off, read two

if you read eight post and get piss off, maybe facebook not the game for you

[StLee]

I didn't know small business was booming so much these days. Approximately 20 of my friends are suddenly using quad-daily Facebook updates to advertise some shit I would never buy. And most of them are selling the same damn things.

One of the latest is from a guy I've known since I was a boy and have been friends with on Facebook since I joined. He may have posted a status update about 10 times total. Now I get this crap all day: "Just drank an Advocare Sparl to keep me energized. That should last me til about 8:00 tonight. It's already kicking in!" Yes, he's selling some kind of "natural energy booster" supplements.

Better than the ones selling homemade jewelry, with pitches roughly every hour 16 hours a day. Trust me.

[ColtCrazy]

Another annoying new feature is how you can tag someone when describing an activity you both did together. Something like "I just came back from McDonald's with Amber Smith and Larry Johnson."

My wife did that once, announcing that She had spent a good day with me at the zoo. My full name showed up. I promptly responded that after 7 years of marriage, she can just call me by my first name. She hasn't done that since.

[stevew]

So our vacuum cleaner bit the dust a few days ago. My kids think you can pick everything and anything up with it LOL. We have been so busy with so many things that I told XXXX just pick one up on your lunch. He came home with a DYSON. OMG!!! I cannot wait to vacuum. Who would ever thought I would be excited about a vacuum cleaner.

In other news, he brought her home an elliptical a few years ago. And she still has a fat ass, so I'm not sure how this dyson experiment will work.

[thesloppy]

I must say, I enjoy this thread more than I ever thought I would. And all of your friends and family are massive tools.

[Swaggs]

I've got probably a half dozen of those, all but one of which is virtually certain to have been the wife's doing.

Same here. I have maybe 4 or 5 and I always think it is the wife.

The oddest one was the guy getting his single account revoked and coming back a day later with the "and" account. It was like he got neutered and needed a day to lick his wounds before requesting to be friends with his old friends. :)

I especially like when one of them is like, "I love my hubby so much. He did blah blah blah for me." And then they carry on a conversation through facebook about how much they love each other.

[JediKooter]

When God wants to drill & skill a man he first breaks him,ruthlessly perfecting those he royally elects in ways only God understands.He bends but never breaks those he uses."Father we praise you for loving us.Help us understand your desire to break us from relying on anything but you. Help us understand your love.Help us surrender our self-reliance & trust you completely. In your Mighty Name, Jesus!"

*sigh*

This is truly a great thread.

And the proof is that no one even did the traditional, "hey Brad!" after the original few posts. :)

String of fifty or so FB status updates within a day all documenting the closing on a house process. This includes a photo of the "mound of paperwork" and complaining about it throughout and ending finally with "it looks like we won't close until Monday."

I get it. It's a big deal. It's frustrating.

But lamenting the process when you'll eventually get it -- and within a weekend -- seems a bit...extreme to me.

This couple has been married for about five years.

"It's my day off and the boys at work. I miss him so much can't wait for him to get home."

First of all, I don't give a shit, nobody does. I can tell nobody cares because you post shit like this constantly and nobody responds. Secondly, 'the boy' is a 30+ year old man. STOP CALLING HIM THE BOY!

I have a few high school seniors on my friends list (I know them through bowling), and they're really good at putting cryptic Facebook messages up. In fact, here's one from 19 minutes ago:

This is bullshit

She's been posting stuff like this for the past three weeks, and of course just like everyone else, when a bunch of people reply to ask her what's wrong, she doesn't respond. I guess I can sort of excuse it from a 17 or 18 year old, so I won't rant too much about it. I just have a feeling that these kids will grow up to be like the 30 year olds who are doing the same thing on Facebook. The bad habits are starting already. :(

[JonInMiddleGA]

when a bunch of people reply to ask her what's wrong, she doesn't respond.

My experience with that kind of thing with teens on FB is that most of the people who need to know what prompted the remark already know. Often as not, statements like that are more along the lines of the venting that happens here, just in shorthand form.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I'm sure you're right, Jon. That thought did sort of occur to me, but I ranted a little bit anyway. Just saw this update from a different teen:

Babysitting because I'm a nice person. Kinda pissed. I better be able to hang later or shot is going to hit the fan!!! Text!

That's it, just a sad smilie face

I saw somebody complaining about all the weddings they have to go to this spring and summer. When a lot of those "nuisances" getting married are their friends on facebook. Can you imagine getting married and seeing your friend publicly complaining about having to go? I'd do them a favor and rescind their invitation.

Dammit! I defriended first without copying the status updates here first. Someone I knew in high school updated her facebook page seven times last night after the Osama news. She changed her profile picture to George W Bush, made two posts thanking W for going after terrorists, a third post referencing comments W made that were played on Fox News, referring to him as our best president and wishing for better times. Post #4 referenced Obama and how he deserves no credit for this, it was all W. Posts #5-#7 were about the possibility that "the cowards on the left" might treat his remains with respect for his religious beliefs, with each post getting more graphic regarding the joy she was getting out of the idea that sharks and fishes were tearing his flesh off his body if he was dumped into the sea.

I was a little more than mildly disturbed taking the entire group of postings together, instant de-friend.

And here I was trying to be all nice & not bring up apocryphal tale of Pershing's pigs on Facebook ;)

[cuervo72]

My cousin posted about as many in praise of Obama (he'll typically spam at least a half-dozen anti-GOP links a day).

Contrast that with a friend from HS who hardly ever posts, thinks political posts on FB are generally a waste of time, but wrote a single, very well-worded post on it last night. Guess which carries a lot more weight?

Penn Jillette explains the fake Martin Luther King Jr.: "I made a mistake" - Twitter - Salon.com (http://www.salon.com/entertainment/tv/feature/2011/05/03/fake_mlj_quote_osama_death)

Penn Jillette explains the fake Martin Luther King Jr.: "I made a mistake"
Updated: The magician responds to Salon about his inaccurate Osama tweet -- and the furor that resulted
BY DREW GRANT

MLK Jr.'s words, taken out of context by a magician.
Updates below.

Yesterday, around 3 p.m., a trend started emerging on Twitter. People began reciting a quote from Martin Luther King Jr. that seemed strangely apt for this occasion:

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy."

The first person to cite it on Twitter was the famous magician/Libertarian Penn Jillette, but the words quickly went viral, and the source got lost in the shuffle. The only problem? As Megan McArdle pointed out in the Atlantic, Martin Luther King never said that. Actually, the quote from MLK about enemies is:

"In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."

How did this other quote get misattributed to King? As McArdle says in her piece, "It's a bit too a propos. What 'thousands' would King have been talking about? In which enemy's death was he supposed to be rejoicing?" She also wonders, "Why? What do you get out of saying something pithy, and getting no credit for it?"

Penn admits to being the originator of the quote on Twitter, though he claims it got messed up when he cut and pasted from a longer piece by King. I'm not sure if I believe him; I have a strong suspicion Penn just made it up in order to see how many people would blindly follow along and quote it as fact, without ever checking on the sources. [Jillette has since explained the quote further to Salon (see below), stating that it was an honest mistake.] After all, this is the guy who created the documentary "Penn and Teller: Bullshit!" and the subsequent Showtime series about how easy it was to dupe people.

Update: The source of the quote is a Facebook message by Jessica Dovey, where she goes on to quote Martin Luther King Jr. In this context, it's easy to see how a cut-and-paste job could have accidentally attributed the source to King. Congrats to Jessica, whose Facebook wall post is one of the more famous sayings on the Internet today. Salon has reached out to Penn Jillette for comment, but has yet to receive a response. (See update below.)

Update 2: On Tuesday afternoon, Penn replied to Salon by email, detailing how he made an "honest mistake," and conveying his dismay over the suggestion that he would purposefully fabricate a quote from Martin Luther King.

"I made a mistake," Penn wrote, "I read the quote, thought it was too perfect, checked part of it from the MLK book and then cut and pasted it. The part I checked was not the part that was wrong, and I posted it. A stupid, but honest mistake. When someone pointed out the mistake, I apologized as best I could in the limited number of characters. And then I apologized and explained a few more times."

Penn also stressed his sadness that the mistake on Twitter apparently led some people to think he was disrespecting Dr. King. "It hurts me to have people think I disrespected Martin Luther King," he wrote.

[bhlloy]

Some guy I played soccer with 3 or 4 years ago has been having a running argument with his ex all evening and posting it on Facebook. Among the gems included are that she think he and their daughter are ugly (gee thanks Dad) that she called the police because of all his text messages, she left him because she was smarter than him and that his daughter is getting kicked out of school because the ex refuses to pay for it (gee thanks again Dad)

I don't know what's better, the blatently inappropriate updates containing grossly personal and inappropriate information that everyone remotely connected to this guy now knows, or the person that has posted some variation of HAHAHAHAHAHAHA or WTF to every single one of the updates.

I was able to decipher through the typical cryptic messages people leave that a girl I am friends with and her boyfriend who she thought was the greates thing in the world apparently is not so great. This was how a friend of hers comforted her.

Sorry, XXX, thats hard! Believe me, Gods been dealing w me for being unequally yoked and bein in sin w some1 to the point it was unbearable! Had to end it. Doesnt take the hurt away, but he doesnt look the other way, ever! He loves us to...o much. Of course the pain and lonliness v bad! But he will take care of u. Dont go to Egypt for a spouse, or be like Sampson and destroyed because of unbeliever, thats where I was! Dont know where bf stands on God, but never goes right if not saved. Stay away unless he gets saved and pray! Thats what I had to do, and trust me hurt like heck! But was getting worse and worse, and him more evil though promised to change. And he hurt me even more now. Keep praying and repent of what u have to! You're a great girl! God bless u all! Wait on God. Try to believe he will work it all out. xo

Well, I totally agree with her. You shouldn't be like Sampson. Very disappointing career. Much better to be like Olajuwon.

Just went to the crazy womans FB page. Religous views. Born again. Imagine that.

[Dodgerchick]

I am going to have some wine tonight with very newly divorced Celia :)


Umm... okay. Waita post personal stuff about other people for your friends to read.

[DaddyTorgo]

I'll spare you a full quote of the rambling multipost, suffice to say that any idiot who insists that posting photoshopped images (the Obama game controller) is inappropriate "because they're still burying tornado victims" is, well, a fucking idiot.

Or, as I explained, is "probably too sensitive for the Internet and beyond a doubt too sensitive to be anywhere near me".

Damnit - stop saying sensible things I agree with.

question...do you love god more if you quote scripture on facebook every single day?

Apparently some must think they do.

It's one of the prothlesizers birthdays today. Can't wait to see what kind of posts this day will generate.

[Lathum]

she is back

Lord, praise God! But take my advice and stay away until he does! B4 u waste even more time and go through even more pain! The devil was so strong in my b.f. and knew just how to use him to torment me, to the point of almost not wanting to live and doubting God's promises and love like I never have in my life! And I hate to admit that! Like I said, look at Sampson's end, and how foolish this woman made him! A man set apart for God! I know how CRUSHING it is and how hard it is w 3 little girls! That was me! Dont keep making the same mistakes. Be in church, go on Christian mingle, whatever you have to do. IF u meet someone new and there r red flags, get out right away!Pray 4 your loved one, but until he says, I want Jesus in my life, and i pray he does, stay away, all efforts and prayers will be futille. Seek the kingdom first! We're in the end, keep your eyes on the prize! Call me if u need to or message me! I still remember that little girl so zealous 4 the Lord! X0 "

[Sun Tzu]

Someone should tell this lady that Jews run Facebook.

[Lathum]

Well just to fuck with her I posetd

Just remember, don't look back on Sodom and Gomorrah at the heathens and sinners, lest you be turned into a pillar of salt like Lots wife. When I learned to look forward I learned forgiveness and didn't run like Job into the whales mouth. God tests us all girl, but he has plans for you with his abundance of love.

and the crazy woman post back

and this just now

Remember how the devil in the garden made the fruit look so good, and sweet, and just what they needed, and all of a sudden they didnt belive God? I know how hard it is to find love in this crazy world! God has something better 4 u. Keep believing and keep me in prayer too! I suggest you get some wow! worshhp. I love the aqua, purple, (amazing grace/my chains r gone, I am free) and yellow.

[Sun Tzu]

I still think you should go with the Jewish line.

[DataKing]

Tell her God hates people who are too lazy to type out the words "for" and "you"...

[Passacaglia]

Tell her the fruit is a jaded mandarin.

[Noop]

The amount of religious post on facebook cracks me up. The main reason being that the people posting them are some of the biggest sinners I know. I wonder if they are secretly trolling everyone though. I know one girl in particular who this time last year was... well you know... lately she's been on this Jesus vibe.

Yet when a friend announced he was looking for a date she wanted to go with him (her friend had already said she was going with him so she was going to be the third wheel) and suggested I go. Long story short that shit she posted was pure bull crap. For someone who is supposedly a Godly person she sure was quick to throw it at me.

[JediKooter]

The shit just keeps on coming.

God showed me today Eve was created as a Solution to Man's Aloneness .She was God's Masterpiece, Although the Bible doesnt really describe her I have no doubt she was the most beautiful woman who ever lived.She was never a child, a daughter or a sister...

[Noop]

See what I mean? That has got to be trolling right?

Tell her: Do not try and eat the fruit. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth: there is no fruit.

Depression is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign that you have been trying to be strong for too long. Put this as your status if you know someone who has or has had depression. Will you do it, and leave it on your status for at least an hour? Most people won't, but it's Depression Awareness Week and 1 in 5 of us will suffer at some point in our lives. Show your support. I copied and pasted, will you???

Any of the 'copy and paste this' statuses annoy me.

We ask that all legal gun owners post this on their wall. The U.S. Supreme court has affirmed. That the right to keep and bear arms. Is a fundamental right of the individual. If you believe in the 2nd amendment, and you are not afraid to show it. Re-post this. Remember, if we outlaw guns. Then only outlaws will have guns.

Another 'copy and paste' but why would I want to represent myself with that punctuation. I wonder if each period is supposed to be a dramatic pause as if I should be reading this as if I'm Charlton Heston.

[JediKooter]

Or Jim Kirk.

[molson]

We should all post something similar in our facebooks posts about the "copy and paste this" nonsense, and then ask others to do the same if they agree with us.

[DataKing]

And don't forget the hearts...

[JediKooter]

I hate the hearts, but, I think that's because I don't know the secret keyboard shortcut for them.

This was my old neighbor in Appleton. This is what she's posted today on her wall.. in order.

Ok, today we can add Angry and frustrated to the lonely. All I keep asking myself is WHY ME, and WHY NOW??

Yup I'm in a mood. Why is it you can give and give to others but when the shoe is on the other foot you turn invisible??

Just read the coolest thing, "The best kind of life is surrounding yourself with people you love, who love you back."

I really need to make her shit invisible to me..

Respond with "I have the PERFECT gift for you!"

She'll then say "What is it?"

And then you say "A cross to nail yourself to."

Went outside to get something out of my car and was attacked in the head by a fucking crow .... My head stings now and I probably have the bird flu.... Wtf !!!! This shit would only happen to me ....

[AnalBumCover]

Not a pathetic post, but funny enough that I thought I'd add to the collection.

From one friend to another's wall:
Happy Birthday old lady. For your gift, I've decided to hand you your ass in words with friends. :)

This isn't so much pathetic as it is uncomfortable. My cousin, who's in her early 20s, is into modeling and fashion. She's designed a bunch of clothes and taken a bunch of professional modeling pictures, some of which border on NSFW. And of course posted them on FB.

It's not uncomfortable because she shouldn't be taking those kinds of pictures; it's more that she should, but I'm seeing them. Like I said, uncomfortable.

And I guess this is a bonus for anyone who I've friended on FB lol...

[JediKooter]

Link please.

[Ksyrup]

It's a FB treasure hunt.

[JediKooter]

Sounds like there is some treasure indeed.

[Ksyrup]

She's a pretty girl. A bit too skinny, though. But she's my damn COUSIN!

[Lathum]

On my way to KSyrups FB page now

[JediKooter]

I'd like to decide for myself if she's too skinny. :)

The last few posts are a tease for those of us not lucky enough to be Ksyrups FB friend.

FWIW, I also have a skinny cousin that's a model who has posted borderline NSFW pics, so I do concur with your conflicted quandary.

[Chief Rum]

Personally I think this is all a ruse for KSyrup to up his FB friend list.

Chances are, his cousin is the same hobbit DT's dating.

[Ksyrup]

My mom won't even look at her pics. Between that and the way she and my other cousin (her sister) talk on FB (F this and F that), my mom's about had a heart attack.

[JediKooter]

Ok. Rizon and Ksyrup need to cough up links plz thx.

Hey, Osama Bin Laden was married to a bunch of his first cousins, and i don't see anybody calling him some kind of crazy person.
