Stupid statuses......


The first thing I have to say is that actually I really like Facebook and the other popular social networks, but by now you've guessed that the rest of this post is a bit of a rant about how some people use them, sorry I'm sure you've heard this so many times before but......

The most recent status to make me cringe started with "Now let's see how many actually read my posts....." then went on to request "let's start a friendship ring...." telling each reader to add their name in the comments and copy and paste the status to their own, and ended with the threat "I'll be watching....."!!!! My comment to this was "Surely fb is already a friendship ring, so this is a daft request!"

Also can't stand the "I love my mother/father/brother/sister/daughter/son/dog/cat/axalotle  and if you love yours too then copy and paste..." If I do then I'm sad too and if I don't then will the people I care about present and past really believe I don't?

Hey ho whinge over. There are other statuses that are a bit daft but I'm a grown up with freedom of choice to read or ignore or join in, so enough said......unless you want to add something?

Still a lot of good reasons for me to stay tho Michelle and at least whizzing past the rubbish makes my time on there so much shorter :)

Oh, those things annoy me so much, also those silly private messages about your bra colour or whatever which claim to raise awareness for breast cancer research... grrr!
