    The " I'm so miserable I want you back" post.

    Or the "I'm pregnant with my 6th child from another man, but you left me to be with someone else so I'm getting over you but I wan't my family back"

    "XXX went from being in a relationship to single." One week later..." XXX went from being single to a relationship with XYZ" 2 weeks later " XXX went from being in a relationship to single" 4 days later " XXX went from being single to in a relationship with ABC" ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!

    Those are just a few.
    lol dat sure drives me crazy specially when every 2 days their relationship becomes "It's Complicated"

    Ugh I know what you mean.
    I just recently realized that I can cancel viewing one girl on my list because she was constantly "sharing" pictures and quotes and making updates way too often. Most of these updates were like "subconscious" ex-boyfriend bashing. It's like she's purposely non-purposely doing it. She claims she's over him, but she's really not. So I "unsubscribed" to her feeds until further notice lol

    My fb page is just that, MY fb page. If I make a post and it bugs someone or bores someone, then they can delete me, or unsubscribe.

    I don't air my dirty laundry in public, or post a lot of personal details and then whinge that people know my business. I'm selective who sees what fb status, but you know what, sometimes that means some people ONLY get to see the mundane crap like "i'm so tired" - that's because I've hidden all the interesting stuff from them.

    So next time you think someone is only posting dull updates, maybe they aren't, maybe, just maybe, they aren't close enough to you to want to see all the more interesting stuff.

    I've unsubscribed from several people that post constant updates I'm not interested in, but it's still up to them what they post. It's not up to me.

    I had a FB "friend" who got onto an "Animal abuse is awful! I'll post a gazillion pictures to prove it! Click 'like' if you're against abusing animals!!"

    I am against abusing animals, but I hate the "guilt" thing, so I never clicked "like". THEN, she posted the picture of a gorgeous German Shepard, posing like a lion, with half of her face blown off because someone put a firecracker in her mouth.

    I clicked like a fiend, but not quite in the way the friend intended. Voila! No more horrifying pictures.

    I have to confess, On FB I bombard my friends with bible quotes...

    Like: "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" Matthew 6:27

    I figure if I can read their garbage then they can read some of God's words, which is THE source of WISDOM.

    Oh! Did get one status update from a friend once.

    "Woke up this morning, & it started out great. Went to pee... & passed a kidney stone." Yeah... TMI buddy. TMI.

    I wish my friends on Facebook would make status updates like that. Just commiserate and make references to that Seinfeld episode.

    i don't mind the bible quotes on my facebook news feed. i actually enjoy reading them from my friends! so uplifting when the rest of my feed is "life sucks!" and "nobody likes me!" and "drama drama blah blah blah". LOL

    ha-- I'll do this as well, along with some conservative political commentary to the ridiculous news stories of our times. I can almost hear the sound of liberal "friends" clicking to hide me.

    Yeah, I generally post Bible quotes such as "Deuteronomy 23:1 No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord".

    Isn't that great-- you can just "hide" it on your facebook feed.

    America-- what a country.

    I am pretty sure you can hide people from your newsfeeds in other countries as well. Of course, not that simple when the annoying person is family.

    I have been slowly getting annoyed with one of my BEST FRIENDS.. secretly. Simply because 90-95% of per posts are about how awesome her husband is, he did this for her, that for her, bought her this, did this for her birthday, "somebody pinch me", "how did I get so lucky", etc. GOSH! We get it. Your life is perfect. Like today "I had the most perfect birthday. Some Highlights: when my husband walked me into the Coach outlet and let me pick something out and also told me to not get any skinnier. Somebody pinch me!" Gosh. I love her to death but it's slowly making me feel worse and worse about myself!

    When we hang out I find myself thinking the same thing at times because they are constantly all over eachother. Perhaps I am a little jealous because I "secretly" wish my husband showed his affection a little more or was a little more romantic. But I love him anyways. Maybe it's a little jealousy.. but I am so sick of seeing people constantly brag.

    I agree with a lot of these stories but really when it comes down to it...it's just facebook. I was just talking to someone today about how political facebook is but really...who cares? People post what they want to post. If you dont like it, hide them. Is it a minor irritation? Sure. Is it going to affect you other than the time that you're spending on fb anyways? Nope! :smile:
