What annoys you in Facebook?

It’s been a long long time since I blogged something related to Friendster and I don’t think I would be doing that any longer. Those were the days when Friendster used to be a hit in our country but not anymore. The evolution of Facebook had plunged Friendster down the list and I don’t think any of my friends cares about it for now, even myself.

Talking about Facebook, I got attracted to it due to the following reasons:
- The status update
- The photo commenting option
- The simplicity
- The seriousness
- And not forgetting the non-existence of bandwidth-hogging features

While there are many things that could get myself attached to Facebook for hours, here are some of the things that annoys me:

1) Annoying “Status Update”
Every morning, when I open up my Facebook, I expect to see some nice photos of some chicks being tagged, some random albums and even some nice and funny status updates. But no matter what, there would always be some status updates that annoy me to the max, let alone if it floods your homepage. Here is an example of “a” status update: (The following is a real case)

An Indian girl (Let’s call her Nisha):

Nisha Guys, what do you think about my picture? Do I look fat? ^=^

9 minutes later

Nisha Guys, I changed my profile pic! How do I look now? ^=^

6 minutes later

Nisha Thanks for all the comments guys. Please go through my profile pictures and let me know which picture I should put okay? Hugz and kisses to all!! ^=^

Again, 9 minutes later

Nisha @some-asshole suggested that I should put the current picture! Thanks to him because I love it too!! Huggsss to you da! muax muax

So, by the time I opened my Facebook, there would be like 4 status updates by the same person flooding my homepage. To best describe my feelings in a picture, click on the following spoiler. A picture speaks a thousand words.

2) Status vandalism

Some people just love to ‘like’ their own status and only god knows why. For every status that they put, regardless of there are any comments or any other ‘likes’, the very own person who posted his/her status would be liking it instantly. Also, guys should always be extra-careful when liking the status updates of some Indian girls. When a girl posts something to indicate that she has just broken up with her super-duper-loving BF, guys who liked her status can either be:

1) Liking the fact that she is now vulnerable
2) So-called “showing concern”

So, if Nisha mistakenly assumes that the guy is of category (2)

Nisha Thanks for your concern da.. You are so sweet

Be prepared to post the same status in 2 months time.

3) Dislike

Seriously, I can’t wait for this feature to be implemented. Once this is up, I bet I would use this feature more often compared to the “Like this”.

4) Double standard

Yes, double standard. Let’s say there is a guy who posts a status saying “Good morning friends! Love you all” and check back his status within 12 hours time and what will you see? 0 comments. But when a super-duper-hot-clubbing-girl posts the same status, check back within 12 hours and you will see “46 comments” with the last comment by a guy saying:

“Good night da, sleep well ok? *Hugz*”.

Although this “issue” doesn’t seem to be annoying, but I really do feel pity for those guys who posted in the intention to gain some comments and interaction via his posting but in the end, no one bothered about his status. Our machan buta.com.

5) Pillows, Gifts, Pets and etc

My profile is currently flooded with all these shits, especially those ‘pillow fights’, gifts, wishes and all those crap. Come on guys, don’t you think it’s damn annoying if you happened to view someone’s profile, clicking on the “Older posts” at least 5 times and all you get is a bunch of pillow fights, gifts and wishes? For god sake, THIS IS FUCKING ANNOYING! There is a solution, which is to block the application straightaway but these things come in different versions (gifts, hearts, postcards, smiles) and sooner or later there would be some additions as follows:


Nisha just sent you a dick!
I hope you like it!

Reply: Send back a dick

________________________________

Nisha just sent you a prostitute!
I hope you like it!

Reply: Send back a gigolo

________________________________

Nisha just sent you a blowjob!
I hope you like it!

Reply: Send back a lick

You see, for each of these shits, I can’t be hogged to click on the “Block application” link all the time so I do really hope those senders would realise on how fucking annoying they have been by sending all these.

6) You have been tagged!

Oh finally one of my friend uploaded a group picture and tagged me. That is what I “expect” to think whenever I see the “You have been tagged” notification. But wait, instead of a group picture, there would be a picture of a puppy or a pussy and around 100 people would be tagged all over. All sort of comments would be making its way instantly and by the time I re-opened my Facebook, there would be like 20+ notifications, all indicating that XXX and YYY has commented on this photo.

- Thanks for tagging me da
- Soooooooooo cute the puppy
- Oh thank you!
- Wow so nice the pussy

I wondered to myself, why the hell on earth do people gotta ‘thank’ for being tagged in an unrelated photo?

As always, my reaction would be:

So that’s it for now guys. I can go on and on about this but let’s stop here for the time being. Let’s see what you guys hate about Facebook. :D

  9. Avatar happeningbaberocks February 19th, 2010 at 11:15 pm

    gotta agree wif ya…

    d status update clearly shows tat particular person is lacking attention…
    so, put up a status, n see hw many ppl responding 2 them…

    gifts…. OMG!!!!!
    if only i’m given a sledgehammer, d creator of such application can really fart blood…. wat d hell….d moment i open my profile, thousands of gifts, do this, that….uuuurrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

    but i like d tagging part.. i dislike tagging unrelated pictures… did u noe tat i managed to track 3/4 of my primary schoolmates… cos, when d pic have been tagged, i can trace frens tat r not in ur list…

    overall, facebook is a good idea of tracking back old frens n keeping in touch with all ur frens, but i’m afraid of the time being spent on facebook… just look at d latest survey tat has been done… time to ponder i guess….

    You’ve included few things that annoying ME in FB…

    STATUS UPDATE.. best solution – Hide the person.

    PILLOW FIGHTS or GIFTS – at first, i addicted too (kononnya new to FB..dunno anything), lately i realised it’s non-sense.. Then i stopped it. Solution for this is- no matter how many times, BLOCK APPLICATIONS or REMOVE it from your page.

    p/s: on this matter, one of my kakak asked me, y my flower not appearing in ur page? something wrong with fb.. she very sad edy.. actually i removed it. :P but saja2 buat dunno.. =D

    YOU HAVE BEEN TAGGED – This is another thing i hate recently.. they will put one greeting card pic and tagged 200 of their friends. HUH… and the notifications flooded my email inbox. SUCKZ. Solution: REMOVE TAG myself…

    DISLIKE: i’m seriously waiting for this features.. Hope FB will take concern about it. :D

    i dont like my FB page to be flooded with any pictures, whenever i publish any game announcement, after awhile i remove it myself… also unrelated things from my profile, just to keep my profile look CLEAN AND CLEAR. :) so makkez, u can do it too.. or else, just remove the kids who flood ur page with animations.. senang je keja ma..

    p/s: HUH penat type.. bubye…

    Facebook is nice..im getting back in touch wit my school mates…but the application is damn annoying til i juz block it…& the tag part too….imagine ppl having a long list of replies til more than 100 comments…that is called CHAT not COMMENT…wich means my notification number will be 100+…

    hoping for the dislike button coz i tink we cn c lotz of slashing & debates goin on…

    durai : gayathri mantram?? really nice..hahahah

    @anilah & @steve – Thanks!

    @Kavita – Haha, yea, the Friendster disease seems to be spreading here as well.

    @Durai – I guess by now unggelekku Nisha yaaru nu kandipa terinjikum bro.. And I think I do know some of the people that you have mentioned bro, especially those who loves to keep on updating about politics.. :P

    @Others – Thanks for sharing all your ‘dislikes’ in Facebook. It seems that most of us are so eager to have the “Dislike” button being implemented, as well as sharing the same hatred regarding certain things in Facebook. Sigh..

    I hate double standard the most y’all. I posted a pic & one of my exs inboxed me saying it was handsome & she liked it right. Neither did she like or commented on it. But a few days later she liked a popular guys profile pic that 70 other girls liked! Let me remind y’all. She was on the rebound to try & get me back. & guess what I only got 5 likes & 10 comments compared to this guys 72 likes & 50 comments. & my picture is muscular! & he had a pop belly! & a fat face!shortly after I deactivated. It just didn’t bring me happiness. 1

    & that chic is history now feeling dumb by the way y’all. I’m now anti fb cuz of the lack of socialism. Not just the pics but some people are on there to just be nosy. These are the ones that luv to hate but hate to show luv. Sum only say hbd only. & on Sunday alotta people be catching the holy ghost on there. All of a sudden its inspirational quotes about the spiritual life & living. Now that’s cool for someone who is really like that. But a lot of people be fronting for an image & don’t live what they’re preaching. Sum put pics up every 10 min or every day. Begging for attention & looking desperate. The love couple thang is annoying too. Sum do it just for payback..I know cuz I was thinking bout doing that.lol :grin: a lot of them are fucking misreable behind closed doors. Its just a mirage. Trust me..I did this before.lol
