One thing I don't get is why people constantly moan about getting loads of Candy Crush invites. That's what the "block" feature is for. You can block specific apps, if I notice I'm getting a lot from a particular thing I've no interest in, I just block it. The same goes with pictures, I've a friend who is decent but she posts loads of pointless "motivational" pictures. I don't want to de-friend her as her actual status updates aren't bad so I just hide posts containing pictures.

You're not supposed to use the "voice of reason"...
I don't understand why some people locate themselves in 'my comfy bed' What are you supposed to say "really? gosh how exciting"
Silly you! They do it because they want the world to know even their bed is so amazing. Their whole lives are so much more superior and worthy compared to all those lesser people out there, even their bed is worth mentioning.
Why do people feel think need to open up Facebook and type a drunk status just to let us know how drlhnmk they are
It's not just Facebook. I see people all over the net posting about how they're drunk and what they've been drinking. Why on earth would anyone care apart from other drunk people?
I was wondering how you go about closing your FB account - not technically but socially?
Do you announce you're closing your account...or is that considered 'flouncing' / attention seeking? I know someone who just deleted their account on a whim without telling anyone because all the competitive mummys on FB were making her feel down and inadequate day after day - but then had to answer to a million emails/text/nursery gate inquisitions from people who thought she had unfriended them/was in a mood with them and it generated even more hassle.
Its made worse by the fact that there are some people I'd like to staying touch with by email - or try and get them onto Twitter - and there are others I just don't need in my 2013 life...so a blanket message to all is not appropriate. It's not as easy as it seems. If you left...how did you do it?

Twitters notorious with it. We're all guilty of the odd 'going for drinks status but these people actually type in their phone password correctly, and then when it comes to writing the status it goes off mad. Despite phones having spell check. Funny that :rolleyes:

some people (including myself) leave facebook logged in on my phone, and not everyone has a password on their phone in the first place. I see your point though

I guess you could send a private message to those you want to stay in touch with, and explain that you want to delete your account, but you'd still like to be in contact with them. As for the others, if you don't need or want them in your life, I wouldn't bother making any kind of announcement.
There's a girl I know quite well from school who is SO flippin' annoying on Facebook/Twitter, you wouldn't believe it. In real life she's quite a fun and approachable sort of person. But online she's seemingly got the blackest of black clouds hanging over her. Every single status/tweet is a whinge, whether it's about Uni, her job or the fact that she's single - you name it, she'll whinge about it! It's particularly the fact that she's single that most of her whinges seem to focus on. Every couple of days she'll do a tweet/status about how she's hanging out with her cats, and then end with some desperate plea about how she wishes the cats were a nice boyfriend instead. :rolleyes: And if the statuses/tweets weren't bad enough, she ALWAYS posts pictures of herself, usually once or twice a day! What makes it worse is that in the caption underneath every picture, she'll always state how ugly she is. So she might put something like, "Eurgh! Look horrible once again this morning. #eww #disgusting #whowouldwanttogooutwithme" So bloody irritating!
One time after a particularly bad run of 'I'm lonely and so depressed' statuses (accompanied with pictures), I decided to private message her to try and reassure her about everything, and also to encourage her to get help if she kept feeling this way. Then suddenly she started perking up. "Oh, don't worry! It's not THAT bad. I've still got all my friends and everything, and I'm interested in a few guys at the moment. Thanks for the advice though." At first I thought she seemed genuine. But after going through a few more of these things with her tweets/statuses getting more depressive and me trying to reassure her, I finally realised it was all just for attention. It took me a while, but I got there. I've been thinking of unfollowing/unfriending her for a while now but I can never get myself to go through with it.

My Sister is like this but has a boyfriend . Its the constant whinge posts, moaning and complaining , all day, every day. She has a 40 grand a year job , moans about that, new house , moans about that , nice car , moans about that , hunky boyfriend , moans about that , 3 holidays a year abroad , moans about that , thinks shes 'too fat' 'too ugly' 'I look horrible' ' cant get anything to fit '
wah wah wah
For Christ's sake shut up . This is my Sister so I cant unfriend her unfortunatley
I don't understand why some people locate themselves in 'my comfy bed' What are you supposed to say "really? gosh how exciting"
All of the people on mine who check into their comfy bed are single women. I wonder if they hope some big hunk will say "oh I wish I was in it with you"

Yeah I notice some people just say nothing and deactivate! Chances are a lot of people won't notice. The 300 'friends' we have aren't real friends. Your real friends and family members will of course notice but you talk to them outside Facebook and have their phone numbers and email addresses? "Oh I was fed up with all the time it was taking up, I prefer to text/email or chat on the phone" probably works.
It's tempting when idiots post stuff like this....

I often wonder that. People have been using beds for years, without the need to tell everyone else about it.

You sure it's not you that's been on the sauce?!

I should be so lucky

Complete with a photo of said poo :rolleyes:
Pot pot?
No, and don't worry, I'm sure it's only time before some mother catches her son choking his chicken and mentions it on FB.
Off topic I know, but who or what is "Kiko H"? :cool:
pot pot for the poo poo silly willy:p
Kiko Hernandez, of Salvame fame.
Aha, thanks. I can see why you're a fan.

:eek: A photo of the poo?! As if the announcement itself wasn't enough!
I have never wanted to like something more
I just realised, I don't really get any statuses worthy of this thread on my facebook, which must mean I'm the one posting all the stupid stuff :eek:
