3 Reasons Why I Sometimes Hate Facebook

Normally, facebook is excellent tool for staying in touch with friends, or getting in touch with people you haven't seen for multiple years that you only vaguely remember. I have used facebook for both of these, and many more. Every once in a while, though, you just get something that just bugs you. Because of this, I have decided to write my first blog post in about 4-5 months. So here they are, 3 reasons why I sometimes hate facebook.

1. Overly Dramatic Status(s*)

More times then I can count, I have seen my facebook page covered with status after dramatic status. For example:




What? You "just dont no wat to du anymroe"? How horrible.


Is it just me, or does everybody else hate this, too? Seriously. I'm done with stupid things like this. If only there was an "un-like", or "un-join" link to groups or status(s*) like this, which leads me to my next reason...

2. The Lack of an "Un" button.

Have you ever seen ridiculously stupid things that just need to be punished in someway on facebook? That is to say, have you ever seen something like this:



Will you look at that? Another status.

Yeah. Now, if facebook were perfect, this wouldn't even be on it, but because it's not, we have to suffer. With a little addition from me, however, our collective suffering wouldn't last very long. Ah, here we go:



Statusing is a word, right?

As you can see, that is a clear improvement from before. Also, to any people that have been so horribly mislead to believe that Hannah Montana can/should sing, I pity you, then ignore you. Go be dramatic. Anyway, I really think that facebook should add these buttons. Let's start a group!

3. Stupid Groups

FacebookMySpace. This is a fact that all too many people seem determined to change with groups like, "Color Ur Facebook OMG SPARKLES!!!!" that seem to serve (almost) no purpose but to annoy me. But that's not the worst of them. There are groups like this:




Sure, that seems fine now, but let's scroll down to the members.



Good luck getting 8,000,000 members by 2010.

You see my point. Again, it could just be me, but it's not. It's things like this that make me fed up with facebook and want to mark the whole thing as swastika. Now there are good things about facebook, but right now, I don't feel like seeing them. Did you hear about William Bemister who died? His family tried to take down his facebook account, but they weren't allowed to.

That's all for now, but I promise to try to make another blog post soon (as in before 5 months.)

*I couldn't figure out how to pluralize a couple of words (status in particular) and decided to just put a(nother) s at the end of words I didn't know how to pluralize. So, if you see something like, "statuss," it is not a typo, it's a pluralized word.

First: your second to last picture is broken.

Second: you have never had a MySpace, so you have no reference for that.

Third: funny.
