10 Things I Hate About Facebook

  • People who take photos for the sole purpose of uploading them onto Facebook to prove to others, or maybe even themselves, that they have a social life. It's like "Oooh, I'm gonna go over Ruby's house with Sally! Let's take 300 photos of the 3 of us posing whilst eating our Chinese and then put them on Facebook just to prove that we have friends!"
    *Teenage Martyr sticks hands down throat*
  • The occupation of my beloved website by Teeny-Chav Boppers who shamelessly write their statuses and wall comments in txt speek lyk 2K7+2 onna' mishhh!
  • People who don't write their statuses in the correct tense. It's the 3rd person - how hard can it be?!?!? A monkey can do it! I never want to see "Joe Bloggs is looking at me and Julie's photos" again! The new update had sorted this out to an extent....
  • Irritating "friends" who send you application messages constantly. No, I do NOT want to know which sex position, Simpsons character or Microsoft Office programme I am! Behold the "Block invites from this user" button - phew!
  • People who post pictures and name them "Not sure about this one.." or "Eww I look minging" are attention seeking beyond despair.
  • The same can be said for those who upload 1000 pictures of themselves that all look exactly the same, but with subtle differences. Choose one, two or three please!
  • Couples. Don't get me started on couples. Why would anybody take a photo of themselves kissing their boyfriend/girlfriend and put it on Facebook? What exactly are they trying to prove? How would you get your partner to agree to that?
    "Barbra, can I take a photo of us kissing and put it on the internet to prove to my friends that I'm in a relationship, cos that's the only reason I'm with you - to prove a point to my friends"
    "OK Jimmy, shall I put the flash on?"
  • Those who put "Get Twitter/MySpace/Bebo/MyFaceBoTitter - so much better" on their pages. Er....no.
  • Those who add you and then send you a wall comment saying "Hello. How do I know you?" deserve to be shot.
  • People who go on Facebook whilst at a party/out with friends need to get some perspective.

  • Anyway, back to my favourite site....

    (PS. You may have noticed the lack of inspired confession titles with accompanying YouTube linkage. This is due to my resentment towards YouTube/Google's harsh legislation on UK users - it has blocked or removed every music video in existence. Cough up you swines! And the whole concept was getting a bit boring, so my titles will probably still be intertextual references, but I'll link them to other sources instead :D)
