New Facebook Rule

[My sister's princess]

I care about your farm!
I agree with the drinking.

Heck yea you care about my farm, you get all the good bonuses I get, and I fertilize yours!

 

[Katie Dawn]

I only friend REAL LIFE FRIENDS. I like these people, and no one has to worry about getting unfriended.

This is my #1 FB Rule: We will only be friends on Facebook if I actively have a "real life" relationship with you, or if in the past we have had a "real life" relationship and I am interested in growing that relationship again. So, all of you "acquaintances" from high school... the kids I passed in the hallway but never really even sat down and had a real conversation with... I won't be friending you. Sorry... it's nothing personal (literally! our relationship Isn't Personal, so that's why I'm not friending you)

If you have over 600 friends like your profile suggests, then surely you can find someone to take a snapshot of you.

This cracked me up!

I don't give a flip about your stinkin' FARM!!!!

I agree completely (& I play one of those games, but don't publish stuff.) However, the problem isn't going to go away... so did you know you can fix it yourself? Copied & pasted directly from Facebook:

How do I hide stories from a particular application (e.g., a quiz) from appearing in my News Feed?

Hover over the upper right corner of the application story and a "Hide" button will appear. By clicking on the "Hide" button, two more buttons will appear to hide the friend who is sharing the story, or hide the application. Clicking on the latter will prevent all stories from that particular application from appearing on your home page. If the story is from an application that was created using a separate parent application, all stories from the parent application will also be prevented from appearing on your home page.

So the next time there is a News Feed post about Farmville, or Farkle, or whatever drives you crazy... just hide the application and you'll never see one of those updates again.

i play fishville, but i never post anything i do to my wall.

mirror flash pics are so annoying. Turn the camera around and use the mirror to see the screen, then set the timer.

I hate people that have automatic posts, like horscopes or biblical passages. Those are automatically hidden. I don't really care about your lebria horoscope, i'm a taurus.

And i don't befriend former teachers, no matter how many other people think they're great. I did however join a group for that teacher. I don't really care about their personal life now.

Thankfully i only have like a dozen friends, and a few fan pages/groups.

Here's a good one & it actually happened to me this week on FB

If you send a private e-mail to 6 people & invite them to a function guess what will happen if people start chatting back & forth ? EVERYONE of those 6 people can read the comments. Ok so far. BUT if you decide to gossip about one of those 6 people, guess what ?THAT PERSON CAN READ WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ABOUT THEM !

Yes I was the one they gossiped about b/c I declined a high school "chicks night out" & the one that did the inviting was talking to the others as to why I refuse to go out with them etc etc & that based on my pictures it looked like I only went out with my DH & DS. These were not people I was good friends with in highschool & only have re-connected through FB.

When I wrote back on the thread that I did in fact go out but just not with people I haven't seen in 20 years & specially people that still acted like we were in highschool. It was priceless when the 2 gossiping harpies read that. They were falling over themselves apologizing & that'e not what we meant etc.

Needless to say we are no longer FB buddies

Please please please for the love of all things alive when it comes to pictures:

1) keep your clothes on while taking pictures
2) you don't look cool, or hot, you look wasted
3) we get it, you can make a pouty face, a peace sign and take a picture at the same time, you only need to do it once (really you don't even need to do it once)

These first two were directed at me, weren't they? If you don't appreciate me in all my glorious nudity, you could have just mentioned it to me on my wall.

Oh, you were serious when you said stop!?!?!?!

- I hate the people, mostly teens, who have horrible spelling "going to my bff, texxxxxxttt meeeee )))". Why do they add extra letters? Am I missing something?

What is even MORE obnoxious then teens texting that way is when adults do it on Facebook. I don't know why or how that happens but I get those posts often and it drives me crazy.

This is because, much like with regular email, people are far too stupid to know when to use reply and when to reply all. If you use the box at the bottom of the page it will be a reply all. If you click the "reply" link next to the sender only they will see it.

The inability to know when to use which is something I have to send emails out at work almost quarterly and has gotten people fired before.

I have a friend that took a pic of himself with his phone aimed at the mirror...you can see the urinal in the back. Who does that!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Taking a picture of yourself in the drivers seat of your car also annoys me. Do you really think you look that great behind the wheel of a hyundai?? Do you think I'm impressed? And.....are you ACTUALLY DRIVING while taking the picture?? Please stop.

Also, I don't want to see a picture of just your eye.

This is funny. I don't do pics of myself ever. However, I see them all the time. Usually guys I've found. With that said.....

Hey you dissing me? I have a Hyundai Veracruz Limited edition that cost an arm and a leg, but I love it. Much better than guys I've dated with the sports car all souped up, but can't go anywhere. Usually we have to take my car....sigh. And I'm 44 if that tells you anything. Guys my age are trying to relieve their youth I guess. I get lots of compliments because it resembles the Lexus for $20000 less.

I say they aren't really driving. They are sitting in their driveway leaking oil out of their "ride". Meanwhile after they take the pic they come over and get in my "ride" and enjoy it.

LOL.....in no way I am dissing your Hyundai!!! My DD wants us to ditch the Explorer and get a Sante Fe-but I don't think my dog would fit!!

And I hear you on the guys with the fancy shmancy sports cars-isn't it funny how they live in a teeny tiny apartment and paycheck to paycheck!!

And I'm 40....yea, the guys my age are doing the same thing!

If you post far too much about politics in any form, I'm going to hide you.

And I dont' do facebook games--so I don't care about your farm, your medieval army, what you got on a fantasy quiz or how many times a word is mentioned in allof your posts....why exactly are you sharing this?

And honestly--I wish some of the folks I refriended from high school--whom I adored in high school...would stop dropping profanity like a sailor as if they had no other vocabulary.

And if I comment on someone's wall post, and you are their friend who doesn't no me--don't be condescending to me or use profanity. You don't know me--so there is no need for you to treat me in such a horrible manner.

My only other pet peeve is a very teenage/hormonal cousin--everyone in the world hates her, she's too ugly for a boyfriend (HER WORDS, NOT MINE!!!!!), whoa is me, my life stinks (But other words are used)...

I'm guessing I need to hide more people.

 

[BabyPiglet]

If you are continually melodramatic or passive aggressive, I will hide you from my wall. It's not highschool, people.

If you continually post your Farmville/Fishville/Petville/Irritatingville to your wall I will hide you.

If you continually post about your extreme political beliefs (no matter if you're liberal or conservative) I will hide you from my wall.

Other than that, I love facebook.

 

[dislal]

I was friends with a guy who I dated in High School and I think he unfriended me! Should I take this personally?

 

[handinpocket]

If so many things annoy you about facebook and your "friends" on there, it is probably in your best interest to delete your account. JMO.
