    unless they've done something toadally assholish...i usually just hide annoying facebook friends.

    Reasons I hide them:

    constant workout updates
    constant pics of meals
    constant professing of love of their significant other
    constant spewing of religious verses
    constant bragging

    What about poor spellers?

    Just hide her from your newsfeed.
    This. Simple fix for both of you since its her Facebook page and she can post whatever she wants. Just un-follow her and you won't see her posts.

    I like to keep my Facebook friends at a minimum to include only people I actually speak to in real life. However, one of them are really annoying me. I would de-friend her but it would cause issues in my whole social circle. But this is my story. Lets call her PINA(Pain in *kitten*). She had a baby last Jan. Now, I know as a new parent and you are all excited and whatnot, but not everybody wants to see you post pic of said child everyday. Stop spamming me. On top of that, the pics come with "Watch out, super awesome cuteness coming you way". On every frickin picture. I have kids. I do not post pics of them. And I know that nobody thinks that my kinds are super awesome but me. Parents rights. The same is for all parents. Then...my husband is soooooo awesome. he gets up in the middle of the night to change the baby......I am, like,really, that is awesome to you. Every time I see these posts I want to punch my screen. Now, I am probably sure the issue is me, I am sure everyone loves hour by hour pics and progress reports and learning how awesome your friends family is from doing what all families do. I know I am coming off as a jerk, and am will to take the hits for this topic, but I feel sooooo much better in doing so.

    I don't think you're a jerk........... a jerk would be the person who says that not all kids are as cute as parents think they are, *cough cough*. Anyway, I don't like when people post pictures every hour no matter what the picture is of.

    Rational Versus Organic Approach to Problem Solving

    Rational

    A person with this preference often prefers using a comprehensive and logical approach similar to the guidelines in the above section. For example, the rational approach, described below, is often used when addressing large, complex matters in strategic planning.

    Define the problem.
    Examine all potential causes for the problem.
    Identify all alternatives to resolve the problem.
    Carefully select an alternative.
    Develop an orderly implementation plan to implement that best alternative.
    Carefully monitor implementation of the plan.
    Verify if the problem has been resolved or not.
    A major advantage of this approach is that it gives a strong sense of order in an otherwise chaotic situation and provides a common frame of reference from which people can communicate in the situation. A major disadvantage of this approach is that it can take a long time to finish. Some people might argue, too, that the world is much too chaotic for the rational approach to be useful.

    Organic

    Some people assert that the dynamics of organizations and people are not nearly so mechanistic as to be improved by solving one problem after another. Often, the quality of an organization or life comes from how one handles being “on the road” itself, rather than the “arriving at the destination.” The quality comes from the ongoing process of trying, rather than from having fixed a lot of problems. For many people it is an approach to organizational consulting. The following quote is often used when explaining the organic (or holistic) approach to problem solving.

    “All the greatest and most important problems in life are fundamentally insoluble … They can never be solved, but only outgrown. This “outgrowing” proves on further investigation to require a new level of consciousness. Some higher or wider interest appeared on the horizon and through this broadening of outlook, the insoluble lost its urgency. It was not solved logically in its own terms, but faded when confronted with a new and stronger life urge.”
    From Jung, Carl, Psychological Types (Pantheon Books, 1923)

    A major advantage of the organic approach is that it is highly adaptable to understanding and explaining the chaotic changes that occur in projects and everyday life. It also suits the nature of people who shun linear and mechanistic approaches to projects. The major disadvantage is that the approach often provides no clear frame of reference around which people can communicate, feel comfortable and measure progress toward solutions to problems.

    I like facebook. I like my friends. I love their babies! And if someone is annoyed by me they should hide or unfriend me. I try to avoid politics on there, though I do talk about issues of domestic violence (but I try not to make it a political or gender issue). I am myself on there, so if people don't like it, they should unfriend or whatever (but I am also always open to discussion).

    Yes. Or delete. Your facebook, your rules.

    I delete anyone who insults me or a friend, or who can't take a joke, personally.

    Single moms who constantly complain that their boyfriends are stupid, selfish, cheat, go out too much and then turn around and post how much they love them. Chances are if he isn't around to help, he doesn't wanna have anything to do with you and the kid anymore. Just break up.

    Which leaves you having 3 friends, who haven't logged on in the past 3 years.

    haha....pretty much. I just have close friends/fam showign now and then mostly updates on companies/shows I follow and to get to the next level in Candy Crush Saga or a rare item in Farmville 2. Facebook can be useful if you use it correctly.

    FIFY

    I got rid of my whole Facebook last summer, I was so frustrated with people.

    Types of offenders who made me tear my hair out:

    The annoying but benign:
    1) Look at my baby. Did you know I have a baby? Did you know I didn't know life til I had a baby? Did you know you're not a good person like me because you don't have a baby?
    2) Older folks who aren't that good with the internet - a/k/a the kind who send a million game requests every day (probably unintentionally), or post things that you know were meant for google or whatever.
    3) Vague-bookers (although they could be fun if you got to creep around to see if drama would break out haha)

    The insta-delete:
    1) People spreading misinformation (the kind you need to send to Snopes 600 times a day).
    2) People being racist, homophobic, anti-woman (or anti-man, but I never encountered any), or overzealously religious.
    3) The willfully ignorant.
    4) Anyone posting chain statuses.

    Life is SO much better without Facebook, I've found. I have Instagram, which is fun and allows me to have a line to keep in touch with a few people, which is all I need.

  • You could do what I did and delete your FB.

    Insta-delete everybody and nobody can feel singled out.

    I did this last year, don't miss it at all, lol.

    Just hide her from your newsfeed.

    I had the same issue and I solved it by hiding that person from my newsfeed. It is addictive. I have since hidden so many feeds. It works and they never know about it :)
  • I'm not on Facebook too terribly much, but I never added that many people, only true friends I was interested in. Sure I have some that share and repost quite a lot, but the only reason I would unfriend someone is if they have toxic or excessive drama going on. I had one friend who was constantly getting in Facebook arguments, posting her business, and even worse, posting personal things about struggles her children were going through. Can't handle the negativity so I just unfriended her. Trust me, her life is such a hot mess she'll never know!

    I post photos of my baby all the time because I have family all over the place, including my in laws who are overseas, and so they don't get to see her all the time. I'm sure my in laws appreciate seeing photos of their grandchild. Do I care that my old friends from college or people I haven't talked to in over 10 years don't love all the pics? NOPE. You can unfollow people on facebook ya know.

    Now people who have given spoilers on my favorite TV shows? Insta-delete!

    I don't Facebook, never have and no desire to even though family and friends keep pushing me to do so. If I want my personal business to be known to family and/or friends I call them, or visit them at home. I do not feel that my life is so important that it needs to posted for everyone to read. Just recently spoke to an acquaintance I hadn't seen or talked to in a year and she knew a lot about what had been going on in my life the past year. Seems that my daughter posts about what is going on with me on her Facebook page. Didn't even know she was doing that until then. Not sure I like that.

    I find it a little funny because pictures of your kids IS what I want to see... and your dog and your friends.

    What I don't wanna see is shared pages from organizations you follow or picture posts (pictures with words on them and sayings).

    I am really good at un-following people.
  • I un-friend anyone I wouldn't be willing to sit with one-on-one over dinner. I hide anyone whose posts are annoying to me which includes too many selfies, baby pics, youtube links, political positions, issue statements or poor pitiful me posts.

    Just stop following her. You can keep her posts off your page, but still have her as a friend. I do that a lot, especially when someone goes extremely left or right.

    People who don't want to see the things I post are invited to drop me from facebook (and MFP). Ultimately, I don't post these things for those people anyhow.
  • pipertargaryen
    pipertargaryen Posts: 303 Member
    Oh, definitely add too many selfies to my list.

    I think it should be noted that for the vast majority of people, they *do* want to see pictures of their friends' kids (and dogs[or cats, ferrets, horses, budgies] and friends, as someone noted above). It's just when you're posting 500 pictures a week, it gets old. And I mean, even if they're an ALBUM, it's not so bad. It's when it's one picture at a time, so it's an endless flood in your newsfeed. This goes for pictures of food, too. Or even random scenery or whatever (unless you're a photographer :smile: ). I'm friends with *you*, which means I like to know what's going on in your life. Obviously, your kid is a part of that. But then it gets in to the bigger picture of, have you lost your identity to parent-hood?

    Most of my friends have kids, and have awesome, balanced lives that involve their family and the people they were before procreation. I have lost touch with a few, however, who completely turned over any separate identity they had the moment they gave birth. I know that goes beyond Facebook, but it's easy to see the turning point when it's captured there in social media and cyberspace, for the world to see. It's almost like some kind of social experiment.
