Boo Facebook

I have a Facebook. I used to be so addicted to it but now not so much though I still pretty much use it regularly.

But I do have Facebook pet peeves. It's super annoying but what can I do? If you have a Facebook, you better put up with its problems. Still, it's a free country and I will rant about these questionable stuff about Facebook anyway.

1. Cruel-ang the VILLE

Seriously, how come every game on FB ends with a "Ville"? Sosyal ba? I don't recall Sims putting a ville on the end of its name. Lahat na may -ville: FarmVILLE, CityVILLE, PetVILLE, PriestVILLE. Ewan ko. Ville my ass.

2. (Insert person's name) sends you a request in (insert stupid game)

I have 200000000 It Girl requests. I have no interest in playing a girly game that uses elevator music as its background audio. My friend tells me to just block game requests for It Girl, but it's not gonna help me because I like the feeling of having a few more notifs on my notification box. LOL. Yeah. THAT STUPID

3.Unknowingly ''Liking'' fan pages

I'm not sure if other people have this same problem, but I notice in my news feed posts from fan pages I am quite sure I never even liked in the first place. It was weird because I liked over a thousand fan pages on Facebook and remember every single one of them. While it is literally impossible to recite EVERYTHING, I have a very good recalling sense and if I don't recall liking this one fan page, that means I never even liked that page AT ALL. I am so tired of unliking all the fan pages that I never even liked in the first place. I mean, would I even be a fan of some sports website that shows trashy girls in jerseys or even be a fan of some unknown feeling artista dude na taray mag-shades? Never

4.LIKE MY DP PLEZ SEGE NAHH!!!!!
I rarely use the chat box thingie on Facebook(for fear of juggling 500000 friends chatting with me again) so if ever I go online it's a privilege for YOU to talk to me(haha. Kidding). The other thing I hate though is every time I do go online is at least one person will tell me to like her DP. Of course, being polite, I would say yes even though deep inside I feel super annoyed. I mean, you want people to LIKE your DP, right? Just let them, not tell them. I hate people who just post a new profile pic and tell people to like it. Okay, just for you honey, I will LIKE it but don't expect me to sincerely LOVE it the way you do. I am somehow happy Facebook doesn't have a love button.

5.TAG! YOU'RE IT! AND YOU! AND YOU! AND YOU....!


I missed those times when people will tag you in a really funny picture that will make your day(or, at least, your session in Facebook). I don't mind also if I get tagged in a message that seems somewhat relevant(like for school or even like this one time my friend messaged everyone to like her entry for a contest so she could win). Now, I get tagged in useless stuff like pictures that I am not even a part of and pics that were taken during events I am not even aware happened or even get tagged in messages that don't matter at all. What's worse is that I am not the only one. People will tag EVERYONE(So, you tagged 50 people--Me, included--in a message just because wala kang magawa? ARGHH!!!).
Okay, so maybe I am one of those lucky ones who don't deal with this dilemma often but I do feel bad for my friends who do. Tuloy, parang like number four where they're forced to like something just because they were tagged in it.

6. People who mistake Facebook for a Psychologist


I do not care about your goddamn problems. Okay, maybe I do if you're my friend but please, DO NOT ANNOUNCE IT TO EVERYONE ON YOUR STAT! Paki ko ba? Noooooo. Okay, yes but you know what? It is annoying if you fill my news feed with sadness and heartbreak. Ganun na story ng buhay ko okay? Do you guys even here me talking about how pissed I am with life? NO.

7. IMAGINARY FRIENDS

I know some people who made fake Facebook accounts of some celebs. I don't usually add them but you know if Gabe Sapporta sent you a friend request and his only friends then were mostly your friends, add him(or her)right? Magandang decoration sa friends list mo kung friend mo si Gabe Sapporta or si John Gomez or even si Justin Beaver(Yes. It's Beaver)kahit di sigurado kung sila nga.(Although I am sure that one of my friends made these accounts. Haha)

But it's totally another story when you add an IMAGINARY friend. Meet my new term for people who don't even exist yet they still have Facebook accounts and talk to you as if they are your real life buds. I have friends who are into this. While it's alright since some people use it as a joke, some people(like this ex-friend in real life yet still-friend on Facebook I know)do it seriously and insist that they really are real. There was a time she even tried pairing me up with one of them. ARE YOU FOR REAL? (Pun intended)

8.We're not friends anymore


Nakakainis ang ganun na tao. It's totally their choice if they un-friend you on Facebook. They have their reasons. But what if I tell you these are people I don't even have spats with? What's up with that?

9.I Wanna Be Your Friend

While the one before this is annoying, it's also just as annoying to have unknown people add you. I get all giddy every time I have a friend request and let out a sigh of disappointment if it's some stranger who has nada mutual friends with you who sent it pala. Question lang, stranger: HOW DID YOU EVEN COME ACROSS MY PROFILE? O_o

10. You're Invited!

In Facebook, people can invite you to their events which is great for the environment since traditional invitations are made of paper and great for your budget if you're some kid with a broke ass. People could also "invite" you to stupid and obviously uneventful stuff like "How to See Who Viewed Your Profiles" or "Verify Your FB Profile Now!". Now isn't that fun? NOT WHEN EVERYONE STARTS TO INVITE YOU TO THESE STUFF! GAAAHHHH :P

11. Empire Stat of Mind

We all know those kind of people. The ones who put lame statuses on Facebook: "I'm sleepy" "I'm hungry" "I just washed my hair" "I just washed my pet's hair". While I respect that it is your Facebook and you have the right to post your statuses regardless of what they are, I still want to say they suck and if you ask me to even LIKE them, don't even think I really will. I will only like out of being polite.

12.Whatever You and Facebook know, the Men in Black Know As Well

I heard rumors of Facebook having ties with the CIA and sources say that it IS true. Although explaining what we all read in the internet about it is quite hard, my simplified way of saying it is that if you and your friend are talking about your super secret crushes, don't be surprised if your sixth sense is telling you someone else knows about it. And that's the CIA. Kaya ingat mga kapatid.



So there you have it. Quite long for such a short list but I hope my point has been made
