JerryK Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 All my old long-lost friends I've reconnected with....are becoming annoying as hell, and largely an uninspiring band of pains in the ass. Perhaps you've met them: -The farmer: You would never buy a stupid farm-building kiddie game in real life, why are you so jacked about it at Facebook? -The political nutjob: his 'status' is a big OooRah! everytime his team delivers a decisive blow to the evildoers - for jesus. -The pillow-fighter: Jenny sent you a happy pillow with smiley-flowery-freshness. -Miss post-everything: Update from 5min ago... Took 3 cleansing breaths and had a really good bm. -Little Miss "verse-of-the-day": JerryKiah 1:21: "I can do all things with a chainsaw if you keep posting those verses." -The mafia warrior: I have no clue what this is..but if you keep inviting me, I just might hire the REAL mafia.

Ah hahaha! This is an A+ post right here Jerry. Thank you for going there. I joined facebook a few months ago. I just can't get into it. I feel as if the wall thing is the gayest little piece of attention whoring maybe, I guess, ever. I like that I can see how they are doing (big picture). Cool to see their wife and kids. But the day to day wall sayings and then everyone with the comments...anyway well done. You may take crap from some people for being a douche but I salute you, sir.

slats Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I'm on FB. Generally do the re-connect and ignore. I post my ramblings on Twitter now, and will probably bore with that when the next great social network rears it's ugly head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 something told me not to join Facebook-I made the mistake of registering with Classmates.com-at my sister's insistence...Look, I KNOW how to get in touch with the people I care about from my past I could care less about meeting up with people I didn't even like when I was IN high school...

slowmoe57 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I joined a few months back -- I really only looked for a few old friends but thats it - I don't play the games and could care less if I do -- My opinion they have taken the word corny and have taken it to a new level. I mean " I wish Heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again" or " I can't help thinking of someone when listening to Taylor Swift" puhlease. and the countless Farmville requests -- The bad news Mrs. Slowmoe just joined and is totally addicted to Cafe World. and I agree with Garb - everyone seems incredibly nice -- too nice if yous ask me -- AKA FAKE.

Makes me want to punch them, actually. I think Twitter is far worse for that.. the inane "I bought a new bikini" kind of posts that beg to be acknowledged with a "Let's see some pics" response. lol This is why I only accept FB invites from family members and close friends.

I actually care about what they're up to. Funny, you should say that. I like Twitter better. The inane crap goes away fast enough. FB - you have a million disingenuous replies. The absolute bullsh*t of it all drives me bananas. I visit FB to see what ridiculous video my niece has posted and to play the addictive Bejeweled Blitz - and no, I do not post scores. That's as bad as: friend: little Owen said something so cute at breakfast today. He said his poopie looked like meatballs. 30 people like this replies: oh, cute! kids are great! that's awesome! I love it when they are that age! A healthy poop, wonderful! Hope he doesn't eat it! Oh, you are blessed. a healthy bowl movement is good! friend: Yoga tonight! 20 people like this Replies: thats great! you go girl! wow, what determination! get flex! I want to try that someday! Wish you luck! Aren't you awesome! friend: feeling good 80 people like this. Replies: me too! I wish I was! Good for you! That's fantastic, you are blessed. Have a great day. Lucky! Wow! friend: look at my pics from my trip (to the most boring place in the world). 100 friends like this Replies: looks wonderful. Wow, the history! Nice pictures! Great vacation! Wow, lucky! Jealous! You are blessed. freind: Today is another day 150 friends like this Replies: yes! yup! my motto! great words. Make the most of it! You are truly blessed. freind: headache 1 friend likes this - in error replies: Oh no! Me too! advil! Hope is goes away! gee, noooo!! I'm am soooo sorry! Be well! Rest! Poor baby!

Bugeater Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 You can hide all farmville and mafia updates quite easily, it made my life better, and I suggest you do it. This, the first few weeks are a pain in the ass but once you get all that crap blocked it's not so bad. I enjoy my Facebook. It allows me to keep in touch with family and friends without actually having to speak to them! And this as well. Overall I like it because it's like a personalized message board and you control who you interact with, although I do still get annoyed by the friend requests from people I barely ever knew or don't know at all.

Bob Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 i had one person who friended me who i went to college with and she acted like we were old buddies.. i had no idea who she was.. still dont. i've been doing lyrics as my status ( what a big surprise ) I had that, too. A girl who remembered me well from college and i did not remember her at all. Turns out she's an avid Yankees fan, though, so I kept her. I've blocked all that Farmville-Mafia-Pillow Fight-Bible verse **** and I like Facebook. T0mShane's updates are hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I enjoy my Facebook. It allows me to keep in touch with family and friends without actually having to speak to them! And that's the real magic of the site. You can shut off all the annoying aspects of it and keep in touch with people you care about in a load less time than by phone or even e-mail. It's re-connected me with people that I had no other way of hooking up with and can stay somewhat current with them by taking a few minutes a month and browsing their posts and throwing one at them every now and then. Anyones comments that are excessive, political/religious rants, or has butterflies flying out of their azz 24/7 is out of sight in a mouse click.

faba Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 It is good for me to reconnect with some people in the past- I do not need to know what someone is doing in their entire routine day- to me that seems ridiculous to post it for all to see.
