A question for Facebook users

[TomLikesGuitar]

I have this wierd facebook gimmick... I never go on it unless it will get me laid because I have a life...

You should try it, it's way more fun than posting inspirational quotes and shit.

The most common Facebook-phenomenon I see is one I hate with a passion, "vaguebooking".

This, so very this!

Seriously, if you have something to say, say it. If you consider me a friend, tell me. Don't half-post something and never follow up on it, even when asked, I'll feel insulted and will probably delete you.

I've actually abandoned fb now......after deleting a hell of a lot of people. But it's OK, they're not real friends anyway!

What exactly is vaguebooking?

EVERYONE HAS HEARD A THOUSAND TIMES, OR IF IT'S FROM EMINEM, I DON'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT WHAT EMINEM HAS TO SAY!

I also hate how Eminem is represented on Facebook as something like the worlds greatest rapper, he isn't. I saw a page titled "liek dis if u new of or lieked Eminem before love the way you lie". It was like they thought Eminem hadn't been a sell out for over 5 years before that came out.

One of my "friends" has this fucking annoying urge to make stupid "philosophical" quotes and put them in quotation marks all the time. The bit that makes it so lame it is damaging to others is that they are always slight rewordings of already famous quotes, or just plain obvious.

Someone called him out on his bullshit once by saying "isn't that a quote from X". He then claimed it was his original work. When my mate gave him the source of the original quote he got all defensive. Lolz were had.

Reminds me of the time my friend came to me on MSN once, and he sent me some (pretty lame) poetry that he said he had been writing all night. I copied it into google and I found out that it was from a blog or something. When I asked him he got all angry at me...weird, man.

Oh those people. Fuck them. The entire point of posting shit on the internet is so other people can know and maybe discuss it if it's worthwhile. I see this quite a bit with girls posting passive aggressive messages.

Here's an actual status update from a girl I know.

Insert random girls name here Haha u think trying to push his buttons will make him snap well guess what he is bigger than that....and what goes around comes around you'll see!!

Never did find out what she was blathering about. Didn't care enough to dig!

The only time I update my facebook status is when there's something I want my mother to see. All my real thoughts go on my Twitter.

I never, ever, post crap that would normally be forwarded in a chain email.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

My gimmick is I'll occasionally have a funny status, but if you want the best of me, look to Twitter.

Going to explain?

And I don't have one, I just post what I'm thinking.

my friends at college are regular Frapists.

Frape- going on someone's computer when they forgot to sign out and giving them an embarrasing and rather childish status

This, a thousand times over.

Most of the people I have added on Facebook (which sadly are people I know and see regularly in real life) do this. The consequences of deleting them are more hassle than just ignoring their statuses.

Still, I'm allowed to wish they'd stop doing it.

 

[Pegghead]

I don't have a Facebook, but an annoying trend I've noticed in friends who do do alot of the social networking rounds is how much they turn into, well, respective stereotypes completely different from who they are in actual life.

Two in particular, both normal nice guys, in real life. On the internet one can best be described as the kind of person who has no grasp of grammar or english and posts nothing but how they're listening to the latest Usher song or Paramore song or Shit-stack song or any other one of those kinds of soloists/bands and pictures of themselves wearing what looks like modern 3D glasses without the lenses. The other can best be described as the emo/philosophag type, where they post nothing but sappy emo/atheist/angsty teens trying to seem philosophical anecdotes, quotes and poems as well as pictures of emo-manga mashup fan-art which looks like the product of a 16 year-old bedroom hermit whom "noone understands" with a sketchbook and a near fetishistic love of...I'unno, Deathnote.

My pet peeve is when people's profile picture is either not of them, or is of them and their significant other. It is not your fucking baby's Facebook page.

Yes. I have several friends who change their profile pic often and it is always a picture of their kid or pet or a big group shot.

 

[ISawAFish]

I cant stand all the people who post depressing status' for stupid reasons (Eg. omg my life is seriously over . then they all get about 1000 comments asking whats wrong)
Meanwhile im sitting hear trying to deal with depression and know one gives a shit if i quote a sad song. Goes to show that if your fake enough you can get a lot of fake followers

You know, guys, this topic wasn't made on the premise of what things people do on FaceBook that you hate, just things you or people you know do in general. Yeah, there's all kinds of stupid people on the network, but it'd be more cool to hear clever things people do rather than stupid things. Because, you know, that's more rare.

A few friends of mine used to post status messages about every single thing they were doing during the day, right down to when they're going to bed at night. So I started doing a "Like" on whenever those people said they were going to bed/sleep. I was hoping they'd start getting freaked out and ask about it, but no one has asked yet. Ho hum.

What are you talking about? Emo internet philosophers are the best philsophers. So wise at the age of 15.

People still listen to Shitstack? That is a scary thought.
