I keep blocking myself on Facebook

I don't know why but everytime I log on I end up blocking myself.

As I am my only friend on there I keep ending up with no friends and I don't know why?

Yes, post on some other forums OP.

Then you can join those, block yourself, and run back here to hide before you block yourself in return.

Absofrigginlootly · 19/10/2014 22:52

Seriously though, I don't get it?! What's the point????????????
Is it a virus? An automated post? Or just some sad w**r???!?!!!?!
Why bother??

Why do I get the feeling that this is a regular mner who is taking the mickey out of the facebook troll.

OraProNobis · 19/10/2014 22:56

Jeeze I don't know jack - why DO you get that feeling?

Smile
GarlicOctopus · 19/10/2014 22:56

I don't know, jacks. If you really can't identify the source of your feeling, perhaps some counselling might help you figure it out. I don't think asking your Facebook self friends is the best idea.

Ohmypants · 19/10/2014 22:56

Yes imho yabu to block yourself Grin

Absofrigginlootly · 19/10/2014 22:57

What is your AIBU?
If you are asking are you BU to block yourself, then you are certainly NBU. You must continue doing so as long as possible.

Absofrigginlootly · 19/10/2014 23:02

Perhaps it's not you but your counterpart in another universe.

Ohmypants · 19/10/2014 23:19

Oh come on girls do be nice
We could unblock her in a trice
But alas alack i think its true
Its not what she wants us to do

After all the advice we've given
It seems there must be something hidden
Another motive if you like,
Just to add a pinch of spice

So now i am off to walk the boards
Or maybe off to bed
Abso i say aduie
And please dont block your thread

Absofrigginlootly · 19/10/2014 23:33

I can't block my thread, but I can hide it and report myself. Which knowing me I will end up doing. Then have trouble logging back on. Then defriending myself again and blocking myself from joining the groups I started.
I don't know why?

So what's the verdict, is it a bot or troll? And AIBU in referring as said bot/troll as it? Because it is massively annoying now. But maybe that's the goal :s

GarlicOctopus · 20/10/2014 00:44

Marvellous work, pants!

DHandhisgrossfoot · 20/10/2014 00:47

Shut up! That's why!

What's a 'bot' ?? Seen several people mention it but I can't work out what it stands for....
Yes I saw the OP reply on one thread, Saturday I think...

Very odd

It's short for robot. A computer program that posts automatically to websites.

GilbertBlytheWouldGetIt · 20/10/2014 13:56

Sadly I do think the Boring Troll is someone who's unwell.

Bloody irritating though.

Absofrigginlootly · 20/10/2014 14:21

many years ago in my uni days I volunteered on a student phone line listening/support service.... We used I get this one guy phone up almost every night to talk about the same thing over and over and over (give you a hint...it was some weird sexual fantasy).
In the end I stopped volunteering because I:

  1. Got sick of hearing it
  2. Thought, if I'm going to listen to this crap I could work on an adult phone line and get PAID for it
  3. Clearly, we were not helping this person. They had been calling for years. We were not the right support service for them (!)

Sadly, the internet now seems to be another outlet for people like this.... I sincerely hope that if it is a real person they read some of these piss-take threads and recognise that they need to seek professional help!!!!

(And also, stop it now because it is bloody annoying) Angry
