Hate it when people announce that they are having a 'cull' on Facebook

[pigletmania]

Sounds totally self obsessed, like they want you to beg for their friendship. If your going to do it, do it quietly fgs!

I just hide people who announce that!

I got one last night saying I had "made the list" of people they were keeping

Lucky me

I got fed up of people doing that. I recently had a cull, i didnt announce it though. i culled over 200 people and have just kept family and my actual friends.

The ones that announce it never seem to actually do it!

i delete people who post that, normaly i get a message asking why i deleted them lol :)

Ignore, ignore, ignore. Even more so when, as you say, the (c)overt implication is you should be jumping up and down with your hand in the air squealing "ohhh, me, pick me, pick me, pleeeeeease!!" YABNU, obviously

A school-acquaintance FB friend of mine announced a cull a few weeks ago.

She wrote '.... Is having a friend cull. See you later if you make it through'

Then later wrote 'if you can see this status, hellooooo, you made it through the cull'.

I unfriended her for twattery

My friend did that, and I told him on that status just to do it quietly and not make a big song and dance about it. I wasn't culled . I do know him very well he's a bit of a drama queen

YANBU fgs if you want to get rid of some people just do it, don't have to make a big old show of it!

I especially hate it when people cull you and then you see them on your friends statuses saying how great they feel after a great cull they just had.

Like, thanks.

I normally post "Pick me, pick me, oh wait don't bother I'll delete you myself, save you the bother"

How often have I told you? Facebook is evil.

What knobs fanjo. That's great clutching of pearls, they are just attention seekers. When I pointed it out to my friend he removed his status

It's even worse when one of your colleagues unfriends you and noone else and then constantly talks to them about her Facebook statuses..I am a Facebook pariah , clearly!!

YANBU!

Or the "Click like on this status if you want to stay on my friend list"

If only they had a 'Go fuck yourself' button.

Exactly worra there needs to be one

It's quite like sending a letter round to all the people you've decided not to send a Christmas card to this year. Why not just, you know, not send one, rather than rubbing it in.

Some users of social media seem to forget it's actual people they're typing at. With, like, you know, feelings and such.

It's pathetic isn't it and totally power crazed. I always imagine them goose stepping round their livingroom screaming "vich von of you filthy peeeegs vill I shoot first, ya is you DoIgeta!! DIE, DIE, DIE" whilst they hope that their 'friends' beg them for mercy.

Get. A. Grip.

I just love the ones who say I'm leaving Facebook send me numbers then two days later post pictures of their lunch!

Attention seeking twattery!!

facebook is shit and sad

I have been culled only to receive a friend request from the same person a few months later. More fool me, I accepted with delight! Perhaps I have self-esteem issues...

Nobody has friended me on facebook :)

No prizes for guessing why.

I don't agree that its "shit and sad" - as with everything it depends how you use it. I am in touch with a number of people in a general way that I may not get to see or speak to directly and I am very grateful for it. There are times when I have had slight issues for istance when I have defriended a brief acquaintance when all I ever saw were her utterly banal "having a cup of tea" type posts and I got an arsey email from her about it, but I agree with the OP that the cull announcement type things are unnecessary and attention seeking.

Facebook isn't shit or sad imo

Some of the people who use it on the other hand...

yes but Trixie people that you don't see or talk to and brief acquaintances are not 'friends' are they?
IMO fb is evil and a waste of time unless it's for business.
Good grief people have committed suicide and murder over it.

exactly worraliberty -
