Seriously, why am I still in Facebook?

Seriously, why am I still in Facebook? 

"Facebook is the place where people act as fools and annoy their friends with just one click. So why not delete facebook?"

What? Delete facebook? .. and miss out on birthday notifications, unverified news articles, trending videos & tweets, metro deals, latest purchases of shoes and bags, someone's dinner, food finds, another's travel pics, recent break-ups, current partners, complicated liaisons ........ ? Hmmmmm... Maybe .... Not just yet.... But eventually ! 

Just a few types of annoying Facebook peeps according to an article I read recently at Thought Catalog, probably written by a 20 year old. [ So sorry, I can't seem to find the name of the author. Been searching for an hour and still can't find the original article. :( ] .... finally found it... Sydney Nikols, thanks dear :) 

1) The Photo Hoarder

No thanks for saving up a year’s worth of photos and then deciding to post them all within the same three minutes. You are helping neither me nor yourself, especially since I now feel morally obligated to never ever “like” anything of yours ever again. Yours is a sad social media fate, sir.

2) The “Notes” Abuser

It’s a widely accepted fact that Instagram is meant for pictures, not words. By writing something in your notes app, taking a screen shot of it, and then sharing it on Instagram, you are essentially breaking into my safe place unannounced and attacking me with a baseball bat full of depressing lyrics and BFFL shout-outs. I could totally have you arrested for this.

3) The Obsessive Throwback Thursdayer

Again, invasion of safe zone. If I wanted to see pictures of a skinnier you in a high school soccer jersey, I could just go to Facebook! (Disclaimer: I don’t want to do that at all.) Also, please keep in mind that Throwback Thursday and Flashback Friday are the exact same thing. If you are participating in both of these fake social media holidays, I might recommend table tennis! Or going outside! Or any other kind of hobby!

4) The Constant Re-grammer

Thanks for reposting that pic of you and your girls out on the town! I didn’t really care about it when Shoshana posted it originally, but now that you’re posting it I’m totally appreciating its merit!

5) The Text Message Sharer

It’s occasionally okay to take a screenshot of your text conversation and Instagram it, but only under one condition: the text message exchange has to be legitimately funny. This does not include your mom saying something slightly zany or you and your best friend discussing how totally hungover you are. I’m looking for actual comedy here, people. I’m hard to please, I know.

6) The Relentless “Selfie” Poster

At this point, I’ve memorized your bedroom walls, am over-familiarized with your “slight kissy face” look, and have a pretty good grasp on how fast your hair grows. All this and I don’t even know what town you grew up in. Something is dreadfully wrong with this picture. 

Ha ha ha ha ....

I could add a few more annoying stuff that my Facebook friends do.

7) The Infinite Sharer

You'd actually know that she has lots of free time in her hands, do not really have a lot of things to do, because she shares everything and anything she sees in her News Feed. Like about 15 or more you tube videos, quotations, DIY arts and crafts, ... only to name a few. Girl, you can do that in Pinterest, not Facebook. 

8) The Perpetual Tourist

As if she works in a traveling agency, has accumulated thousands of Mabuhay Miles, has a generous drug company sponsoring her trips abroad, or probably has a dozen moles under her soles. It would be much appreciated if she would at least write about the places she's been to or at least acknowledge her benefactors.

9) The AK ... All Knowing

Been there done that kind of person. Jack of all trades. Career woman, perfect wife, doting mom, self trained 'chef', party planner, events coordinator, org chairman, restaurant and food specialist... Name it, she's It! 

Hmmmmm .... So, why am I still in Facebook?
