Okay, random rant on Facebook statuses. Here are a few examples of Facebook statuses that annoy the crap out of me:
1) The "Woe-is-me" status. Examples: "FML. Crying so hard right now." "i don't think ill ever stop crying... :'( :'( im so sad rite now" "don't talk to me, im super stressed and my life stinks" "no one cares about me and i could just die screw you people FML"
Okay, I'd first like to point out that FACEBOOK IS NOT YOUR PSYCHIATRIST. And frankly, after endless statuses about how crappy your life is, people begin to not care. I mean, sure we all have a tiny pinch of sympathy for you, but after about 10 statuses of the same "FML" status, we're just like- "Dude, stop complaining and shut up." Deal with your problems rather than talk about them on Facebook. And, really, your "friends" on Facebook probably don't know what the heck you're talking about, so updating your status 5,000 times will not make us understand if they're all about you and the anonymous people who supposedly made your life miserable. We're just annoyed with you.
2) The Mysterious Cryptic Status Updater . Examples: "You know what you've done wrong." "I love you, and you don't know who I am." "You better fix things before I unfriend you." or something of the life, where they use "you" to address a person. If you're personally friends with this person, you begin to worry. If it's a negative status, you wonder if they're talking about you and worry about what- if anything- you've done wrong. If it's your crush's status, and it's a love status, you get all excited and can't help but question: "Is it me they're talking about?!" Or, if it's a status that doesn't mention "you" but instead is about the status writer themself, and includes something about them and their life troubles/problems, but doesn't give much information at all, the natural instinct of human curiosity kicks in and you want to find out WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?! And you can't get your mind off of it, because you want to know so bad what they're talking about, you're practically driven insane by it. Even if you don't know the person well, you still want to know what's going on, even if it has no relevance whatsoever to you. I've done this before- talk about one person in my status and address them as "you". I haven't lately, but I vow from now on that I will never do that again. I find it quite annoying, fretting over something that may or may not involve me, and honestly, I don't want other people to feel the same way. Sure, it might be kind of fun, seeing people worry about something that may or may not involve them, but really- it's mean.
3) the ppl who write lyk dis and insist on updatin there status all the time with this same grammer and spelling errers. LEARN HOW TO SPELL, PROPERLY PUNCTUATE, USE THE RIGHT FORMS OF WORDS (i.e. they're/there/their; you're/your), AND USE PROPER GRAMMAR. I can't even read it. This does not only go for statuses, but general talk on the internet.
4) The People Who Capitalize Every Word And Do This With Their Punctuation !
It's fricking annoying. I could shank them. It's almost worse than #3.
I think that's all... I just needed to say that. Ha ha, people on the internet tick me off. Heck, people in real life tick me off too. I could go on for hours... but I won't because that's very negative and probably really boring...
I need to go to bed, but one last thing:
My bestie Shane told me this joke, and I think it's positively hilarious. Or, ghalarious as John would say.
"There was a sign on the lawn at a drug rehab center that said 'Keep off the Grass'."
