Facebook / Twitter Pet Peeves...

Here we go

- posting fluffy inspirational images with quotes every day (yet these same ppl usually never follow any of it)
- "checking in" / announcing to the world every time you go to the gym
- saying "I'm just going to leave this here..." or "This is the craziest thing I've ever seen!"
- misuse of your/you're loser/looser they're/their/there affect/effect then/than
- liking your own status / pic

I'm sure there are more but I had all of these in my news feed today

- Anyone who actually uses Twitter.

- People who invite me to "Like" anything.

- People from elementary school who keep adding me again after I delete them.

- Randoms who do nothing but add hot chicks from different countries, so their entire timeline is "Dick Face is now friends with Big Boobs". My favourite is when they like posts that are in a language they can't even read.

People who tag me. I hate it.

fuck this shits me. they think it's oh-so-deep and really speaks for how they feel. in reality it's almost always some empty platitude, tautological truth or vapid bollocks. i de-friend people over this shit.

- People vomiting their love for their significant other all over the newsfeed.

- People making vague angry comments like "Some people just aren't worth the effort !!!" but refusing to actually discuss what the fuck is going on when someone dutifully says "Aw, u okay babe?" underneath.

- Endless pictures of babies and small children. Nobody gives the first fuck.

- Sad, lonely bastards updating us on just how fucking sad and lonely they are, but in a faux-jovial way to try and convince us they don't fight off feelings of desolation every time they open their eyes in the morning: "Already in bed watching Game Of Thrones on a Saturday night. My life is sooo exciting, lol."

- Anyone who feels the bizarre obligation to post screencaps of their Skype conversations. Why the fuck would anyone want to see a low-res webcam snapshot of your mother's forehead, you fucking imbecile?

I could go on like this for days.

sent you a friend request jack!

Everything in this thread. Goddamn I'm full of rage now.

True, that.

Mostly unsubstantiated accusations of rape.

Nothing wrong with posts about extreme conditions (cold/hot/rain) but I agree that those that CONSTANTLY whine about it are annoying.

Similar to how some 'news' networks these days dedicate so much of their hourly programming to the weather. I get it, it's cheap, free content - but what is the point of a 'meteorologist'? All these ppl do is take the info Environment Canada provides and rehash it. Big fucking deal.

I'm pretty sure all meteorologists just use Ouija boards these days.

I'm over Facebook and never even got into Twitter. I ended up funneling all that social media energy into tumblr and Instagram though.

Nothing really. I just use Twitter to follow feeds that actually interest me, not as a list of friends or acquaintances, and I check Facebook maybe once a month since I'm only there because my wife asked me to get one.

I'm not even sure what the typical use case of Facebook is anymore...which age groups are really the most active on it? It seems like the people who are active are *super*-active and that there are a lot of middle-ageish people making political posts...but maybe those are just my relatives, lol.

- People posting links to unsubstantiated studies or "news" items. If you have time to post someone's story about how they were jumped for being gay, you have time to check to see whether the photo and caption are actually connected, or if you're just being trolled like the rest of the gullibles out there.

- Those who think they're making a positive impact on the world by posting a steady stream of anti-Monsanto, anti-oil, anti-government, global awareness, all-natural, save the lemurs, etc. By and large, all you're doing is littering the internet with poorly written/researched opinion pieces that largely fall on deaf ears. If you really want to make a change, give up that car you drive everywhere, and stop buying crap you don't need at Costco and Walmart, you giant hypocrite.

^^
These same people also tend to "join" every FB protest event that comes down the pike - you know, the kind where 10,000 people are invited, 4,000 say they're attending, and 150 actually show up.

I thought only women get carried away with Facebook. Swamp isn't this your second social media complaint thread? You seem quite bothered by it all.

hands down my biggest pet peeve (other than PDA on statuses and walls) is facebook slacktivism....


for example the latest trend of selfies holding signs with the hashtag #bringbackourgirls in order to make the poster feel morally superior for standing up in solidarity for the kidnapped girls in nigeria, whom until this news broke they gave exactly zero shits about for the past 15 years the Islamic insurgency has been on going and they still dont know sweet fuck all about it other than what fox news, CNN and the internets tell them in sound bites....

but the icing on the cake is that some people honestly believe that their hash tagging and status updating makes one iota of difference.... like the leaders of Boko Haram somehow read your status update and feel such overwhelming shame that trisha "i sucked every football players cock in college" smith has outed them on her facebook page that they are going to miraculously return each innocent little girl to their families and promise to restore peace to the region....

news flash, A: boko haram probably doesn't have internet access, B: they most certainly don't give a flying fuck about your facebook status and C: neither do the rest of us lol


If you want to make a difference, volunteer with an NGO working in that area, donate money or fund raise for that organization, hell just do anything that will actually generate some tangible results other than be the next conversation topic for humanities students while they serve me 7$ coffees at Starbucks......

just look at that Kony 2012 campaign and all the good it did.......

on a side note, the motivational pictures and inspiring quotes are also nearly unbearable.... or anything with a hash tag.... that whole phenomenon is just as heinous as the phrases "YOLO" and "Derp"
