To all you dumb assholes who update your facebook status incessantly to tell me that you’re “thinking”. What the hell? I mean really, do you not realize that you are constantly thinking? The normal human brain is in constant thought, even if you aren’t bright enough to realize it. Telling me that you’re thinking is like telling me that you’re breathing, if you able to tell me you’re doing it, it’s fucking obvious.
—Thinks about thinking too much.

Facebook? oh no, as far as letting the whole world aware of what your every waking thought, brain fart or epiphany, you can’t beet Twitter. Tweet yer ass off, or follow someone every minute of every day. The more loosers you get following your every thought, meal or bowel movement, the cooler you are! Neat eh? Even though you have no interest, you will. Or you will fake interest, or face chastisement by your peers. Oh nooooooo peer pressure mounting….ludites! Surely, you need to know that I’m sitting in my underwear, slurping coffee and typing this. Oh ya, now that’s interesting!…wonder what Oprah or Ashton are doing? gotta jet! *alt tab*
A friend telling me they are “thinking” via their Facebook status is about as interesting to me as if they are “studying” or “at the mall” or “making out with your mom”. They can write whatever the heck they want in there and I still wouldn’t care. If anyone has anything important to tell me, I hope they don’t post it there, because I won’t be paying attention.
If status updates are getting you down OP…maybe it’s time to thin out your “Friends” list.
poor babies
I’m changing my status to “is breathing” in your honor.
It’s friendface!
It’s like herpes… but with friends.
You know what would be even more annoying, if someone put their status as:
“This is the song that never ends and it goes on and on my friends! Some poeple! started singing it not knowing what it was and they’ll continue singing forever just becasue….”
Some people take facebook WAY too fucking seriously.
Yeah, it really is sad that the OP could get this mad over someone putting “thinking” as their status.
I leave my status as “Miles is annoying his friends with the mundane details of his life.
No Comment yet……thinking……still thinking
I don’t mean to be all “if you don’t like it leave” but I’m pretty sure there is something you can do to control whose status updates make it to your news feed (short of deleting them off your list).
Most people have a bunch of people on their list and if they had to tailor their updates to every single person on that list then they’d probably be better off saying nothing.
By the way, no one is forcing you to be Facebook friends with “dumb assholes”….. 😛 Then again if you weren’t, what would you have to uselessly complain about, I guess.
If the biggest problem in your life right now is that your friends are ‘thinking’, then get a new fucking life OP.
If it means that much to you, when you see the ‘thinking’ status, call them immediately and demand to know what they’re thinking about.
So stop using facebook. It’s a waste of time anyway.
i agree with the OP to an extent: saying/writing that “XXX is thinking….” is just somewhat stupid.
its like the people who write their entire life story or day plans into their MSN nickname, complete with the “uhhhh’s, yep’s and LOLs”
People on facebook don’t think..
I’m gonna go poop, be right back.
Hey Dino, more floaters than sinkers?
How’d ya guess? I think I need more fiber in my diet.
Anyways…in regard to silly Facebook, I think it’s whatever floats yer boat. If ranting to a blinking box in hopes of satisfying your ‘friends’ thirst for constant information makes you happy, then fine by me. But if there’s a way to avoid something that’s pissing you off, by all means steer clear. Let them waste their time on the crazy site while you take a nice bike ride or play on a trampoline or meet a friend for coffee in reality. Or heck, bitch on the coast. At least it’s semi-productive.
Facebook bores the shit out of me other than keeping in touch with friends from away. The applications are unbelievably tedious – it’s a nice fucking day and you’d rather collect cybereggs or play Scraboo? Man, I’ve done some navel gazing in my day but I know people who spend days and nights doing this crap. How much more insular can this society become? No wonder people are so full of rage these days – they’ve got too many obligations to fucking Facebook.
