my friend is a facebook addict. on it 24/7. she comes to my house, and does that, ''XX is logging in for OutOut's house'' type thing.. which puts a tag on her whereabouts, and puts a mini map thing, that all her and i think my frineds can see. which shows the exact place she is, ie my home.
now, i dont know all her friends, and some of my 'friends' are people i used to go to school with, or work with, etc, and i might not want a few 100 people she knows knowing where my house is. am i being unreasonable to ask her not to do it?

no, never thought about that aspect of it but yanbu at all!

WhereYouLeftIt · 21/03/2011 15:56

YANBU. And that is deeply sad behaviour.

I just think the whole thing is sad and I would find it annoying too. And if she's at your house why is she faffing about with FB?

Bluemoonrising · 21/03/2011 16:17

Just tell her you heard about someone that used that feature, and when they got back to their house they had been robbed.

That should stop her!

OutOutLetItAllOut · 21/03/2011 21:35

i doubt it, she saw i had un tagged my name, so re bloody done it!

She sounds a complete sad act, why on earth would she want everyone to know where she is/going to and who the hell is really going to be interested in knowing where she is....except the buglars of course!!!

YANBU :)

OutOutLetItAllOut · 21/03/2011 22:01

i tried to point out to her, that as she lives alone, her publisising herself beings out the house means people know her house is empty.
but apparently its all fun..Hmm

What is missing from people's lives that they need to publicise every little thing that they do?

shakey1500 · 21/03/2011 22:06

YANBU. Tell her your pc is on the blink next time she comes?

EveryonesJealousOfGingers · 21/03/2011 22:13

Block her from your facebook, that'll sort it!

EveryonesJealousOfGingers · 21/03/2011 22:13

Probably not very helpful but effective!

EricNorthmansMistress · 21/03/2011 22:15

She'll be doing it on her phone Shakey...YANBU OP, what a sad act. Just tell her to please desist. How crazy have our boundaries become that someone thinks it's appropriate to tell some 200 random people where you live? Privacy? Hellooooo?

wellwisher · 21/03/2011 22:15

YANBU. If you've spoken to her about it and she's disregarding your feelings, defriend/block her. She sounds like a loser anyway Grin

OutOutLetItAllOut · 21/03/2011 22:19

it was on her phone, not my net.
she is a serial one for xxx is at xxx with xxx watching/eating/ doing a shit.
i love fb, the nosey old goat in me thinks it fab.
BUT i chose what i want people to know about me. and i dont want random bods knowing my full address and postcode.

springydaffs · 21/03/2011 22:19

What, she's got a marauders map! Shock

You're going to have to block her if you don't want people knowing where you live - YANBU (and sh'es addicted)

OutOutLetItAllOut · 21/03/2011 22:21

ah bollocks. is there no way i can opt out of that part of it? i know i can on my page, but can i not for toher people?
i dont wanna block her, she is lovely. ( if a bit sad.)

Just tell her firmly that you don't want her to do this, surely when she realises it is telling your address to everyone she should understand? she can hardly refuse can she if you tell her firmly. If she does persist after that then it tells you a lot, that clearly she is more bothered about her fb than your feelings and concerns, so in that case I would block her.
