To my annoying roommate, you had a fit the other day. I thought it was something serious. Nope, it was you complaining about being deleted by another 6 people on facebook, after being deleted by 5 people the previous week. You know why? Because you write about how much you love your fiance in every status—and you write several statuses a day!
“(you) is out to the mall…love ya babe”
“(you) booked the trip…love ya babe”
“(you) is off to work…love ya babe”
So on and so on… every one of your statuses these days end with “love ya babe”! We get it—you’re in love and engaged. Congrats. Now shut the fuck up about it and maybe people will stop deleting you! —Roomie with no fb statuses
This article appears in Feb 24 – Mar 2, 2011.
I’ve summarily deleted for the “love ya babe”‘s. I sometimes go over the top with romantical-type shit, but I try and keep it off Facebook most of the time.
Valid Bitch! So say I!
I have a niece who status updates every hour – and they’re very personal about her love life, health, living arrangements, how much she dislikes certain people. If I delete her she will know for sure…but I wish there was a hide button…so that I can choose to see what she’s up to….which I never would.
I second the valid bitch comment! Had this “friend” on Facebook who added “love you hubby-to-be, (countdown) days until we’re married!” to her stateses for MONTHS!
Please leave your declarations of love off Facebook and just tell them to that special someone in private.
Real Chick – There is a hide button, just hover over the status, suddenly an “x” appears, click it, then hide updates from that person. That’s what I did for the bride to be : )
I like the hide button. I hid several people. But that still is annoying, especially if you’re going through a breakup or are PMSing 😛
Why doesn’t facebook have a dislike button anyways? Now THAT would be a useful button.
I like this bitch.
Just want to add, I also hate when people tell their life stories on their statuses. Today I bought a lawn chair and it is getting delivered tomorrow. We went to visit the hospital in DR and I folded towels. **** got a motorbike but I had to stay home because there was no more room on it. I am making a salad for supper while **** is visiting with maid.
I know!
I totally agree. That’s what LTWWB is for. >; )
How are all my bitch-buds this morning?
Just get the hell off that stupid site, christ i hate facebook its like being in highschool again. Doesnt it seem like the OP is a lil insecure in their relationship if they have to post that all the time? or do they just crave attention?
yeah o.p., i love those too, oh, just had a shit, 1 minute later, oh, just had another shit. 2 minutes later, just got fucked. 5 minutes later, just got fucked again, ad nauseum. yeah, makes you wanna rip their fucking faces off. but just delete them all, or else close out the book completely.
Stuffin the neighbor while you shop at MMM… love ya babe!

LMAO @ guyute…..
I can feel the vomit spewing from my ear canals. Facebook posts tend to do that to me.
Nice cartoon, I love Sherman 🙂
I like FB, but I’ve hidden a TON of stuff and every little while I go purge people I never talk to. My BF wants a lesson in privacy settings this weekend so he can take a bunch of people of his and limit who sees pictures and things. It’s so important to be careful of those things.
Wait until she gets knocked up. Then see what she writes.
Nevermind what she writes, it’s usually followed by pee sticks photos plus a daily belly photo…for 40 weeks! Then comes the 200 delivery photos followed by an album for each month of the child’s first year-ish…
Thank you so much Tee. I had no idea this hide button existed!!!
if you’re going to hide everything they do and say to your page…
why are they your friend in the first place?
I used that for a while on people… then realized I never see anything from them anyways… so purged my list by about half.
I hate when I delete people I rarely talk to, then you see them out somewhere and then they glare at you because they think you don’t like them or something. FB is starting to make me so mad! My poor BF, he recently just got the balls to delete his family from his FB for the second time. The first time he did, I got a butt load of messages and phone calls from them. ME! And any time he went to visit them, it’s all they would talk about. It was actually like that South Park episode. Now let’s see how long it takes his family to contact me this time …
I did the same thing, zed, about a year or so ago — I had like 500 friends and widdled it down to 45. My criteria was mainly: do I ever talk to this person? do I enjoy reading this person’s statuses and keeping up with their lives? Does this person interest me?
I was up again to about 110 a few weeks ago and purged again. For those of you still on my list (or those recently added *wink*) consider yourselves special! 😛
Also, I made this totally passive aggressive status a few months ago about how people need to fuck off with putting every little damn detail of their lives in their status because NO ONE CARES (and fuck off with the TMI statuses — we all know you’re just trying to attention whore). I actually got some GREAT responses to that. My second best status that got comments was simply “camping is dumb.” Because it is. But that’s a whole other bitch…
Anyway…
I guess I hid people that are friends (that I do like and talk to) but got tired of their 24/7 play-by-play of boringness. Especially when it’s the same thing every day.
I use those privacy settings too, but I always wonder how well they work. Does anyone know how “safe” the Safe settings are?
Stupid question probably. As safe as the internet can be.
I have this one friend who has been with this guy for maybe two months, and he constantly updates about how in <3looooove<3 he is. It's so God damn annoyed. It was especially terrible on Valentine's Day: "EVERY day should be Valentine's day....! Love you babe. <3" *Vomits everywhere*
For the most part, statuses don’t particularly annoy me as long as there’s some level of variety. But when it’s the same thing time and time again… bah.
Maybe a dingo ate your fiance.
Wait until sebastian finally gets a date. Then see what she writes.
I simply hate reeking insecurity.
I just hate reeking insecurity.
Jesus H. on a handglider – definite sign of senility – repeating myself – repeating myself.
ttfn, repeating oneself is okay, as long as it doesn’t get extreme. case in point, on facecrackbook last year, one 12 year old girl, kept typing “i’m awesome”, over and over. for over two full web pages. i never counted it, but i bet it was in the thousand plus range.
some fucking little maggots, got nothing better to do, except go out and commit crimes. and not sure if tape is still up on ain ave.
I don’t have my BF as a friend on Facebook. We’ve been together over a decade and if I want to know what he did today I just ask him.
I guess I’m old fashioned that way.
My status pet peeve is the passive agressive fights couples have ie “I was supposed to have a movie date tonight but I guess work is more important that making your girlfriend happy”
Or another actual one…”Going to work without lunch because making a sandwich for your husband is not in someones job description but sleeping all day and watching Glee certainly seems to be”
STRAIGHT UP OP!!! I FEEL YA!!!!
There should be a page where we can submit people’s most annoying and most obnoxious statuses.
There’s failbook…
…or Lamebook
TT it’s only bad when you ANSWER yourself…
