just a hunch, but you will probably get pinged to this thread a dozen times at least.
I used FB and thought what a great idea, I got in touch with a lot of old pals I served with and some who are still serving , however I had friend requests from their wives etc, said yes to them and then I got so fed up of reading what someone is thinking to eat for dinner, of if they should wash their car, or where they are going for their vacation that I rarely even use it now.
I’m not on Facebook, so I don’t have this problem.
I’ve unfriended a BUNCH of people for #1.
Let me add:
#8 The person who is on Facebook ALL DAY LONG. Your news feed is cluttered with random comments, links, photos, YouTube videos, etc., and you suddenly realize that roughly 50% of it was posted by ONE PERSON, who seems to have nothing better to do with their life than to constantly post on Facebook.
Yeah, you have to manage your friends list on Facebook. If they get carried away with stupid posts, they need to be unfriended. I’m thinking of unfriending my mom because I get barraged with stupid Farmville requests from her.
And the other great question is- should you keep ex-girlfriends as friends so you can post photos of you with your new girlfriend so they can see that? :)
This!
They do have a filter so you can only see important updates from people. Still it is all too much.
I find myself looking at facebook less and less these days.
got rid of a load of them and then got pals asking why I was not having their wife on the list.
I’m actually in the process of getting a bunch of old military pals e-mails/skype and then deleting FB .
I’ve virtually stopped and if you see my post above if you have time then it will explain why and what I’m doing now.
FB was a great invention for getting in touch with old pals, military old pals etc but it then turned into a platform of no marks thinking everyone is interested in their daily life, what to wear, when to wash car, what to eat, where to go to dinner etc.
ARF
I am on FB, but most the time I just look and read
I signed up on Facebook to hunt down an old girlfriend.
Fail. She wouldn’t talk to me.
After that, I questioned it’s usefulness.
LOL.
She can’t handle your charm.
I just ignore the requests
Amen. FB is mostly just a bunch of people with no life loudly proclaiming that fact to the rest of us who just don’t care.
I got rid of Facebook about three weeks ago. It’s pretty liberating. I came to realize that I just don’t care what other people are up to anymore.
The worst ones are those who spew their liberal opinions, assuming that, of course, everyone will agree with them. It never seems to occur to them that they might offend somebody, or that some people log on to Facebook for fun and relaxation, not to hear bigoted political rants. I had one Facebook “friend” who did that, so I un-friended her. But she and I still have Facebook friends in common, so I am still subjected to her “Evil Republicans!!” rants on other people’s threads.
It really is true what they say. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
