The more time goes on, the more fed up I’m getting with Facebook. At first, I just didn’t like the pressure to consistently have to update 200+ people on my life. Then, it got really annoying having to see everyone else’s stupid drama all the time. (I have since figured out how to block status updates of just certain people).
Here lately, I’ve started getting really annoyed with the sheer amount of completely pointless status updates that people seem to enjoy posting for the world to see. I would block these updates but sometimes the people who post them are my friends…and I’d like to see future postings of theirs. I wish there was a simple “Filter Out the Dumb Updates” button instead of just a generic “Block All Future Posts” button.
Case and point…the following are ACTUAL STATUS UPDATES from friends and acquaintances of mine (don’t worry, none of them read this blog).
“I was awakened prematurely today, and now I can’t go back to sleep. Grr.”
“Homemade cheesecake. Mmmm.”
“Bored.”
“So tired.”
“Awoke to thunder and lightning this morning.”
See what I mean? Completely pointless. And I do understand that not every status update is going to be brilliant or inspired or even remotely amusing or interesting, but…usually when I’m “bored” or “tired”, I don’t presume to think that anybody on Facebook could give a crap.
But the one that has recently taken the cake is also the one that inspired me to make this graphic, based on a website I’ve recently discovered:
The offending status update reads like this:
People make me angry. Give us our things back, stop trying to hurt a 2 year old. Stop spending his money on an expensive lawyer just so you can feel better about yourself. Why can’t you just be normal for his sake and try to get along? Don’t you want to be part of his life? What is wrong with you? You need to wake up and realize you’re not the only one hurting. I’m so angry frustrated and overwhelmed. But that’s what you want isn’t it?
Seriously…???
So, if you see me mysteriously vanish from Facebook one of these days, it’s because I’ve finally had enough.
