The 12 Most Annoying Types of Facebookers- Page 3

That's creepy. I've never friended anyone I don't know, except for one celebrity who advertised their page through their own website.

I only have one performer on my page that I don't actually know and that's Susan Egan. I broke my rule for her because I admire her a lot and without her I might not be here today. The first professional show I ever saw was the Bye Bye Birdie tour she did in the early 90's.

Turn off the "online" feature and she won't know you're there.

But then no one else will, right? That's my issue. That it's an all or nothing thing.

I wonder what kind of "facebooker" Alice Ripley is? hmmm.... She posts obscure things all the time so she straddles several categories.

When I first joined, I felt bad ignoring people's friend requests so I accepted all of these people from high school that I didn't even talk to then. Now I feel bad de-friending them so I'm stuck with them. Since then, I've ignored several people.

The other day I got a friend request from someone that I've never even spoken to, but we had mutual friends. I accepted them and then about 10 minutes later de-friended them because I got sort of freaked out that nobody out of our mutual friends knew them either.

Stockardfan, I used to have that problem, and then after ignoring certain requests, I just deleted them. I was getting random friend requests from people that not only I didn't know, but we didn't have any friends in common either! I also recently started deleting some people on my friend list (i.e., see Addy's example).

I rarely actually request someone's friendship but if someone requests me and they have some type of connection I usually accept. If you are dying to know what I do all day, feel free.

I am pretty much always on it via my phone and not even my laptop. It's more a way to pass time for me than a "need" to update from my phone.

Oh, not at all. Under the "friends" tab create a category and title it something like "People". I don't know if other people can see your categories but, if I were you, I'd play it safe and not call it "People I don't want to chat with". Just something obscure. Put the people you don't want to chat with in that category. Then, on the tab at the bottom right corner where it tells you who's online click up "options" I think and "show categorys". You can block a particular category from seeing if you're online. I know these instructions are kinda vague but I can't access my facebook to see exactly what step is next. If no one tells you how to do it before I get home I'll post the instructions when I can get on facebook.

"What kinda gets me is when people update from facebook mobile."

One of my FB friends was spending the weekend on a boat and I received at least 10 different status updates via Facebook mobile. If you are somewhere (LIKE OUT AT SEA), why not just enjoy what's around you rather than telling me you have a chef and several cabin boys catering to you? I can wait till you get home for that information.

I should probably delete some people, but like I said I feel bad. Most of them don't post very much anyway though.

My friend and I went to an outdoor production of Grease.

During the show, I could see him fiddling on his phone.

Later, when I went on Facebook, I noticed a status from him: "Hanging with [insert my name here] at Grease! So much fun!"

I mean, yes, when I was able to do updates from my phone I was guilty of mobile updates. Except mine were slightly humorous such as "nothing better than an Oingo Boingo sing along in the car".

As for friending people - sometimes I have friended people that I am not exactly "buddy buddy" with. Usually I put them on limited profile. The other day, I did receive a friend request from someone I hadn't seen in at least a year. But having worked with him and knowing him to a certain degree, I didn't mind accepting his request.

I don't see the difference between posting you are enjoying Grease with a friend or posting about Oingo Boingo from your car (which sounds kind of dangerous).

Thanks, Eris! I'll try that later!

I was in the passenger seat when I was in the car.

The only difference is, and what I forgot to add, was that he had several updates over the course of seeing Grease.

It's okay to say "Going to see Grease".

It's totally another to be "At Grease now!" "Enjoying the show!" "Having so much fun!"

It's like, how can you really appreciate something if you keep feeling the need to let EVERYONE on your friend's list know?

Now, in my case, I have friends who love Oingo Boingo as much as I do, and I knew they'd appreciate the update.

Don't update and drive!

[blueroses]

Posted: 8/20/09 at 1:47pm

Oops.

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 8/20/09 at 1:48pm

I can see the updates...


"...is driving to 7-11"

"...hit the car stoppped in front of me while driving to 7-11"

Gotcha. I dunno. I update my status maybe once a day.

I'm laughing now at the groups I'm in. Before Facebook went global, you could only join groups that were in your school's network. So, of course there are all these random groups about anything and everything that were just so important to join. Now I'm in 85, and I don't remember what most of them are.

And, there are way too many groups that claim to be the largest, or are trying to become it, or need a certain amount of members for some record or achievement.

I mean, I love my friend to death. I do. He's a great kid. But he updates like crazy. Thankfully he hasn't tried to drive and update at the same time.

Most of the time, I update once a day. Or once a few days. Usually it's part of a song or it's from a television show. (Once I used something from Arrested Development; "No Michael, that wasn't a trick. That was one of my ILLUSIONS.")

...well, I'm definitely the maddening obscurist. And whatever kind of person posts too many quiz results. But I'm definitely guilty of posting strange inside jokes and quotes from obscure things as my statuses sometimes.

Crap... I am definitely a mix between The Maddening Obscurest and The Sympathy-Baiter

And the people who post pictures of their pets...


Oh, wait... I do that.

[Jane2]

Posted: 8/20/09 at 2:24pm

Me too! And not only because I wanted to-I had several people asking to see the pics.

My cat seems to be more popular than me.

[Marianne2]

Posted: 8/20/09 at 2:37pm

I post pet pictures as well. Sometimes I just can't resist photographing them.
