Facebook was created for one purpose: to keep in contact with people. Contrarily, there are many things facebook is NOT meant for, which are, unfortunately, the most common uses for facebook. I will now enlighten you, in no apparent order, as to what pisses me off about facebook. 1. THE PITY CALL Used in statuses, the pity call is often a message like, "I'm so sad!" or "I can't believe that happened, FML!" For your information, EVERYONE can read it, and frankly, not everyone cares. I haven't seen you for three years, stop trying to get me to feel sorry for you because your goldfish died! That's what CLOSE friends are for, and, unless you only have 20 facebook friends, more than just close friends can see that message. 2. THE ATTENTION CALL This may be the most common and most aggravating. Mostly, the attention call is comprised of some cryptic message that is intended to be intruiging, ie "I can't believe that just happened!" or "That was so awkward!" etc, etc. Usually the person doesnt even ANSWER the comments on it, saying "Oh, I can't tell you!" or "I don't want to talk about it." If you can't tell everyone, why put it where EVERYONE can see it? And obviously you want to talk about it, you just announced it to your entire socail group! 3. THE SONG QUOTER Although this can be pulled off occasionally, it makes me mad when some rich white girl who just wants attention is quoting a song about depression. I don't mean to say rich white girls can't be depressed, just that if you really felt that way, you wouldn't want everyone to know. Also, love song quotes from teenagers. You're not in love, you've known him for like two weeks and you don't even know his last name. Get over yourself. 4. THE PROBLEM ANNOUNCER Mostly a form of the pity call, people will announce things like "Ugh, insomnia sucks!" or "I hate being bipolar :(" You're 16; you don't sleep at night because you're either a. out partying or b. just being hormonal, as teenagers are. Insomnia is a REAL problem and if you had a REAL problem, you would seek out PROFESSIONAL help, not friend pity- agreement. Also, you don't know crap about being bipolar, ok? It's more than mood swings, which ALL TEENAGERS HAVE. Stop dramatizing your problems and learn how to handle them in a healthy way. Get over yourself. 5. THE CONDITON ANNOUNCER This encompasses things like "I'm hungry!" "I'm tired!" "I have way too much homework!" If you're so tired, get off facebook and GO TO SLEEP. Too much homework, get off facebook and DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Hungry? Go make yourself a PB&J sandwich! I DON'T CARE! ANyway, thanks for listeneing... Or reading... Whatever. I feel better now.
