The other morning on my drive to school I listened to “The Ladies Room,” which is pretty much an open talk forum on the radio station, jamn’ 94.5. The hosts Pebbles and Melissa announced the topic that morning was, “most annoying status updates on facebook.”
I’m quite sure all of you that have facebooks can relate to this topic in some way or another, whether you’re the person posting these quite irritating statuses or you know numerous people that do. Just to make clear, annoying updates aren’t about the amount of studying you have left, or the new job you just landed. This is more geared towards the people that update about the terrible relationships they are in, or the family members that piss them off, or just something terribly and utterly ridiculous.
Facebook has now become a huge part of our culture. It’s accurate to say that when you start an account you are creating an image of yourself for everyone on the internet to see. (At least those that are added as friends)
People need to start filtering what they post. Girls, statuses such as how your boyfriend is a cheating lying bastard, doesn’t really make people want to feel for you and console you. You just sound crazy. If he is as awful as you say, dump him and move on, don’t drag everything out over a website for everyone to see. As for guys, no one cares how many numbers you picked up at the bar last night. We are all adults, let’s start acting like it.
I completely agree with you on this. The way people post everything about their lives on Facebook is too much information for the people who see it in their newsfeed. I just don't understand why people find it necessary to let everyone know about the personal things in their lives.
ReplyDeletePeople do need to filter what they post on social networking sites. If they don't care about annoying their friends, then they should at least care that their careers might someday be jeopardized by the content of their profile page. Many people have said this, but what you put on facebook will be up there forever. If the person who's giving you a job interview notices the crazy, aggressive posts you made about your boyfriend, you're not going to get hired.
ReplyDeleteGetting back to the annoying factor, how about guys that post depressing song quotes as their status all of the time? Or quotes that relate to their relationship. These are the most annoying to me and I think less of any guy I see with any sad emo quote as their status. Suck it up pussy, i don’t care that you haven’t kissed a girl in three months.
ReplyDelete@Snooki: I completely agree! I can't stand it when people post song lyrics, it's such an unoriginal and boring thing to do. I usually just skip over those.
