Some people in this city are so full of bullshit; insecure and superficial. Some of you don’t even say hello to me in person but we interact online or ‘like’ things or whatever the fuck you do on Facebook, but you will never initiate any kind of real-life contact. The whole reason we added each other, I thought, was to actually be FRIENDS. You know, like, ‘hey how are you?’ or even a simple acknowledgement of my presence when I see you at the same events every fucking weekend. I take a genuine interest in who you are and what you do, but I can only initiate a dead-end conversation so many times before I feel like it’s a chore for you to talk to me, so basically this is bitch is just to say you suck at being a ‘friend’.
And I probably won’t delete you but just had to say it. —BS Detective

Zed ignored you on the bus again today, huh PK?
Who could possibly be mean to our little apple?
That’s why I only have 28 people on my “friends” list. Anyone who thinks they really have 697 friends has severe self esteem issues imho.
I keep the people i care about on my facebook so we can stay in touch and i don’t add anyone unless they are actual friends. I even deleted my douchebag brother who without any reason or explanation disowned our family after our mom died.
I also lock down my privacy so only my direct friends can see my posts and pics etc.
people really don’t understand how much facebook can fuck up your life if you aren’t careful.
i dunno how i’ve avoided using facebook for this long and i’m not all high and mighty about it. i jut figure if you know me you can always find me
*jut* is a word, it’s just wrong
How could you even have 697 friends ?
I mean, how the fuck could you even keep track ?
OB…have you ever looked up the word Acquaintance ?
Pfft I didnt write this, uncle ivan!
And zed doesn’t talk to me because he doesn’t like me 🙁 true story.
And, Lol my ma refuses to get facebook, bread lady. She gets all pissy when I even post a pic on mine with her in it.
So it’s cool, PG
zed isn’t really a chatty charlie kitty, or a charlie in the box
Fuck, I am so grateful I grew up in a time before Fartbook sucked the soul out of socializing – you knew who your friends were BECAUSE YOU ACTUALLY HUNG OUT TOGETHER FACE-TO-FUCKING-FACE! What a novel concept, huh?
TTFN. Couldn’t agree more. A real friend would make an effort to actually take the time to arrange a visit (personally). That’s why my wife is my best friend. I can count on here for companionship. Except for one of my brothers who always wants to get shitfaced with me on Fridays. Let the good time roll!
Apologies to my ex-office wife. I’ll always take the time for you.
Footnote: Ex-Office Wife. A very great friend that I miss incase anyone thought I am unfaithful.
can’t be me. no one sent me anything saying that they were pissed off. even if you did, and i doubt we know each other, sorry. if it was me, then you know my email, if not, here it is again. gary_more@hotmail.com. i do not ignore people intentionally, but sometimes people do get lost in the day to day lives of me and everyone else. if this is who i think it might be, and deffinenately is directed to me, then mail me and trell me.
if anyone has a problem with contacting anyone on facebook, remember, it is after all, facebook. and that site is rife with all kinds of problems already. but back to you o.p., is it me, if so, let’s talk about it. i have a feeling, that this is actually directed to moi.
I like Facebook. I’ve actually rekindled some long distance friendships with people I used to know as a child. I like playing the games as well.
A side topic. Why can’t I put a picture profile on my Facebook account without it showing up as well her on the Coast’s LTWWB/LTWWL? My facebook people are wondering why I always have animals as my profile picture.
Show up “here” on the Coast.
Amen, OB.
that is so stupid OP. I understand your bitch and I often feel the same way but why the fuck wont you just delete them???!!! what are you afraid of?? Delete the motherfuckers already!! It feels amazing when you do believe me, and its not impolite!!!
You must have signed in with your Facebook account at one point, Troody. Now you’re linked fo’ life.
log in with facebook is quite the double-edged sword.
keep that mofo in it’s sheath.
OP, why wouldn’t you remove them?
(I don’t use the word ‘delete’ here because, to me, that would be like an assassination…)
and nowhere have I ever said I didn’t like pk.
there’s a reason I have very few friends.
*Gasp!* Facebookgate! Oh nooeesssss!
Some people take the internet way too seriously.
I DUNNO MAYBE THAT’S THE VIBE YOU GIVE OFF?
I’m female so I make assumptions, ok?
Amen Tron! People are getting wrapped around the axle about some pretty inane shit lately.
It’s getting to the point that if it didn’t happen on (enter current social media site here)________
then it never happened.
Get a life people, FFS and come join the living world.
PS: bus buddies on Monday, Zed? We can talk about clothes and make up and boys! I *have* to take the motherfucking 21 now that the 42 doesn’t exist, both fucking ways. SO MUCH FOR GETTING HOME IN TIME FOR DOCTOR FUCKING PHIL.
And so much for sleeping in past 4:30am.
A 30 minute commute has now turned into 90 minutes each. fucking. way.
Frigging turd burglars at metro transit.
don’t you have monday off?
OH yeah, right.
TUESDAY THEN.
Ahhh yeah! There’s nothing better then forgetting about a Holiday, then realizing you have a long weekend ahead. Such a good way to start a Friday.
two days off in a row for us…pure luxury
guess I’ll be driving to work Monday…
parking being free n all.
vastie… very well timed, sir.
I needed a smile today.
I give those vibes off because things haven’t been all that great lately.
Did ya get your bike out yet, zZz? Looks like PERFECT weather this weekend to twist the throttle.
Dumb cunt, it’s Facebook!
sadly no… it’ll be at least a couple more weeks before I get the chance.
just more shit I have to put up with…
I’m gonna go back up and read your facebookgate post again…
always good for a chuckle.
Aww what s’matter, zed?
I thought things were always pretty rough going for ya. Even shittier now? 🙁
Facebook “friends” are not “friends”. They are people who you allow to troll your updates and pretend they give a shit.
Having said that, it’s part of my day job contract to use it, and it lets me promote my band, so the more “friends” I have, the better it is for both. But I don’t have to like it.
I’d happily bathe in a 2 month old, unchanged, over-utilized, feral cat’s family litter box found on the porch of an 8 bedroom rugby guys frat house the day after an all-night kegger…. to not have to be me for just one day.
none of my anxiety, worries, problems, bullshit, responsibilities, cares, … nothing.
a day in purgatory, if you will. (if it still existed…)
alas, ’tis not to be.
Tonight I may just find out what the Russian Standard really is…
Well, I’m an excellent listener and advice-giver and I know how to keep my mouth shut when someone tells me things, so if you want to chat about crappy things to someone who’ll listen and keep quiet, you know where to find me. 😉
I can vouch for PK’s excellent listening/advice-giving skills.
high praise from someone who never speaks…
🙂
Aw thanks, 195! 🙂
He speaks to me, zed.
I have superpowers.
they communicate like this j/k http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2008…
Speaking of superpowers, the Museum of Natural History has an awesome new exhibit that I think would be of interest to many bitchers.
There’s a lot to be said for not speaking. Nothing worse than someone who feels the need to fill every second of every day with incessant chatter. Enough to make you want to take your life sometimes.
PK is very *discreet* 😉 read into that what you will.
thanks 195, it does look like fun
