Facebook bollockery WWYD

[solidgoldbrass]

So I had a teeny weeny strop and binned a few of my Facebook friends. One has PMed me to ask why. The truthful answer is 'Because you are a Sun-reading fuckwitted bigot, however amusing you can be in the flesh, and you are one of those people who is forever reposting lame shit like 'OMG sign this petition to get the nonces of Facebook, if you don't put this on your status you must be a nonce yourself'.' I have sent a wussy, waffly PM back as this is someone I have known for ages, along the lines of it being easy to ignore different viewpoints when you socialise but less so on Facebook, and best wishes to you matey....

One of my friends is absolutely lovely in RL but pisses me off no end on FB, so I've hidden her. The other options are defriending her or leaving increasingly sarcastic comments on her (boring, nonsensical and frankly offensive) status updates so hiding her is the best option I think.

I would have done the same...idiot!!

I have had the same facebook crap this week, cleared my friend list of 120 down to 60 odd, including my fuckwit brother in law, who felt it appropriate to rip me to shreds on facebook, then last night he pm's my DH saying he's upset i deleted him, but he thinks a trouble making whore anyway then why the fuck do you care i deleted you...tosser!!!

Honestly Facebook friends should be trimmed to ones, you really like, can be arsed with and ones you like to nose at

See, FB is the work of the Devil. I promise you, if you're wondering how you'll be without it, just try it. Deactivate/delete now.

I appreciate some people really like it but I really think it's had its day.

i deleted my fb account 4/5 months ago and its been brilliant not knowing who's kids are precious little stars, who's ex is a wanker, who is a skank and also pretty good knowing a couple of mad caahs cant stalk me online my sis included heh heh

heh heh Sjupes

dont feel like im missing out with my friends they are ver ver hunnish any really exciting gossip gets passed on to me by besty

I've stopped using FB so much and it is, as someone else has said, wonderfully cathartic. I have a quick look maybe once a week, if that, just to catch up with family etc who I otherwise would not have contact with due to distance etc.

One of my friends loves to "Check In" absolutely everywhere which personally I find a bit creepy and stalkerish, and also likes to give the world updates on EvERYTHING including her sex life. I mean, WTAF? Why do I want to know if she just had a shag?

It beggars belief. Not using FB is a load off and gives me more time on MN.

It is weird when you get FB requests from people you don't actually know very well...especially when they turn out to be oddballs.

I've had a couple (3) lately and deleted one when she was quite bonkers.
One deleted me when she got all paranoid over something and nothing and the other i deleted because she said too much about her sex life and stuff i didn't want to see and didn't want friends to see.

Ive found ive filtered people from my life once i hit late thirties as i just couldnt be at all arsed anymore. A few with bad attitudes and racist or sexist views and a few who were never there for me but expected the world from me.Twas a good feeling,like a spring clean leaving the place smelling fresh and fuckwit free.Im not on facebook for the reason that i dont wish to re clutter with another clutch of idiots

Apart from that i like FB...

Family and friends who live miles away.

I used to love Facebook. Now, if it wasn't for one of the games I wouldn't bother at all. I've pulled most of my personal stuff off and have made 'friends' with people on the game. I barely look at the rest of it.

"On the game"? Erm, not quite what I meant...

'And also likes to give the world updates on EvERYTHING including her sex life. I mean, WTAF? Why do I want to know if she just had a shag'

'Just shagging the husband' ? Haha.

I had a 'X is at sainsburys' the other day-thanks for the update to your shit dull life

I tried to have a facebook clear out but it's almost impossible because there is always someone from one group or other who knows someone else and I would have offended, so.... I deleted my account instead.

Feels great for all the reasons stated plus I don't have to get envious of old friends of fictitiously amazing lives!!

I use it for business purposes!

I promote my job in my statuses....

Self employed and it works for me!

at SGB using the words "wussy and waffly" wrt herself

YANBU though, although I tend to keep the arsewits just to give me something to moan about. I have recently hidden all the 28updates a day people though, even the ones I like as it was getting to the point where I knew more about them than myself.

That was another reason for me deleting my account, constant stream of advertising from 'friends'. I tried to hide the updates but then somehow there'd be a way they'd contact me. One was a group private email trying to get money from me really awful.

Thingumy - seriously. One of her statuses was, "Damn, now THAT was a good lay." and the other day it was something like, "Woke up, had a morning shag, now ready for the world" etc.

I mean... WTAF??!!

(Statuses? Statusi?) :o

That is so vile I reckon they must be totally celibate to feel the need to post those kind of updates yukk!

Im sure people who need to say when they have a shag are really not getting it at all or they would be too busy well........shagging!

I find it quite useful. People who come across well irl, then on facebook they post links to daily mail articles about how gypsies are eating newborn babies etc. I then know that they are arseholes and I don't have to waste my time bothering with them.
I've reacted to shitty updates, and I've defriended serial offenders.
