To make a slight break in my hiatus I'm going to do a very different sort of post. This is my top four things I hate about Facebook, in no particular order. Before I get the undoubtable 'hypocrite' comments, yeah I probably do all this stuff too and it probably pisses you off too, but honestly? I don't care. Enjoy!
1. High horsing.
If you have a load of photoshopped pictures, 8000 friends and ninety responses to your latest lyric fuelled status update then you're more than likely, 'Facebook Popular', and even though Facebook is just a social networking website, people seem to use this as an excuse to become a complete and utter douchebag. Strolling around their friends profiles as if they own them, acting in a way you'd never see them do in real life, or saying things that they probably don't even know what they mean. The internet seems to be the core of all problems in my life, because when people are hidden behind computer screens they have no tact with what they say, so a lot of very nasty arguments begin to unravel very quickly.
2. Your whole life is on display.
I get that that is kinda the point and thanks to privacy settings and stuff, this shouldn't be a problem. Shouldn't be, being operative here. If you want a secret kept, you can't even allude to anything close, without a group of Facebook stalkers bonding together to work out all your life's secrets from over a hundred status updates and wall posts. Yes, I shouldn't post it in the first place, fine. But if it's cryptic, it doesn't mean it's there to be worked out, either. It gets even worse when you're arguing with someone, I'm happy to pay to text you, I'm happy to talk to you on MSN, but no, you'd much rather tell me all my failings in a wall post all my friends and family can see, because Facebook is 'easier'? Well fucking cheers.
3. How paranoid it all makes me.
It's bad enough hearing about your girl going to some huge piss up with tons of guys you don't know, but she tell's you nothing happened, she just had a few drinks and left. And you trust her enough to believe her. But then wait, who's this new guy leaving wink faces and hearts on her wall? Who is this guy? She was tagged in his photo, wait, is she hugging him? What else were they doing?! Wait, lemme just check this dudes profile, out of curiosity, wait is that her initials in his info box, with a heart? Didn't she just meet this guy yesterday? The fuck happened last night? At least in the old days they tried to keep affairs secret...
4. What's on your mind?
Guys, don't take this so literally. I don't need to see the process of you cooking and eating rice over six status updates. No one gives a fuck, that's not only pointless, but fucking boring as shit. Secondly, sometimes lyrics can say some really magic stuff or be really memorable, that's awesome. But posting a random couple of words from the latest mass produced RnB single doesn't count as a decent status update (except maybe to bloat those corporate cunts egos even larger). And hey, while we're at it. It's always nice when a status update from someone is all about you, makes us feel wanted and appreciated, right? Well you know for everyone else, honestly, we don't give a fuck and it actually kinda pisses you off. I mean maybe your close girly girls think it's cute you tell Facebook you 'HEART SCOTT' every two minutes (if they haven't already fucked him or fancy him or whatever) but everyone else, it's just ANNOYING.
Think about it!
