Top Five Facebooking Peeves With Your Coal Region Buds

Facebook annoys me for several reasons. Unfortunately, I cannot delve into all of them in this article or it would be interminable. I do admit to having a Facebook account; however, I deactivate it bi-weekly or so when I start to feel guilty about acting on my pet peeves:
1. WHO CARES WHAT YOU ARE GETTING READY TO DO – - Honestly, do you think anyone gives a crap if your pasta is almost done boiling, you’re getting ready to go bar-hopping with your pals or you’re going to take a shit? NOOOO, WE DO NOT!!!
2. SPOUSES OR LIVE-IN PARTNERS RESPONDING ON THEIR SIGNIFICANT OTHER’S fACEBOOK: If you live in the same residence as your husband (wife)/boyfriend (girlfriend), etc., is it necessary to comment on their facebook page? Of course not! Hello, they are in the next room, just give a shout! How insecure can you be to make sure the world knows that you read their facebook? Jeez, get a life!
3. PROFILE PHOTO: #1, if it looks like you’re trying to look “too hot” in your profile photo, you’re most likely desperate and/or have had a Glamour Shot pic taken at your local mall. But…
#2, if you have a picture of your child or your pet, etc. for your profile pic instead of yourself, you are most likely completely heinous looking or just insecure and don’t even want to attempt TRYING to post a decent picture. (Of course, I’m am not including when you use cool profile pics of favorites authors, ancestors or persons of historical interest. Hey, I can decide my own boundaries! It’s my article, so boo-freakin’-hoo!)
4. NUT-JOBS SENDING YOU MESSAGES: WARNING: Set your facebook page to be read ONLY by friends, NOT EVEN “friends of friends.” This can save you a lot of unnecessary bullshit. Before I realized that people were certifiable/jealous/insecure AND mentally unstable, I had my page open to all. BIG MISTAKE.
5. DO I REALLY CARE IF I ONLY KNEW YOU IN PRE-SCHOOL? — This is another reason why I deactivate my facebook account occasionally and also seriously consider deleting it all together. If I haven’t spoken to you in the last 20 years (since I’m only 25, duh), I don’t really give a crap about you, your family or anything at all to do with your life. Is this heartless? I think not.
So I laid it on the line for you all — agree or disagree– let me know!!!!
Tell us what you think! Please leave a comment below. We LOVE comments!

You forgot about the eleventy-billion farmville requests. Do these people really think I give a rats ass about their e-crops? Get out from in front of the computer and go plant a real garden or something.

Anyone on Facebook who buys a virtual good is a moron as far as I’m concerned…might as well blow your money on drugs or alcohol, at least they exist…

LOVED the “eleventy-billion” remark. Priceless.
