Facebook. A love/hate relationship.

All my posts have been so serious lately, so it just occurred to me to write a bit on a lighter subject. The one I've chosen is Facebook, and the things about it that drive me a little nuts.

And before anyone starts with the "well if you hate it so much why do you still have Facebook?" nonsense, I'll clear it up. I love Facebook. It helps me keep up with people I care about. It's just all the other foolishness that annoys me. Take it all with a grain of salt, if you will.

So here goes.

Things I hate about Facebook:

1.) All the people that demand I "like" something "if" something. 

For example. "LIKE IF YOU LOVE GOD AND KEEP SCROLLING IF YOU LOVE THE DEVIL."
I'm all about spreading the Good News, don't get me wrong. But my Lord in Heaven is not gonna meet me at the gates one day and be like "You know, Anna. I woulda let you in. But you kept scrolling on Facebook that one time. Hell and damnation for you. Hope you dont mind the smell of sulphur."

Or a picture of a kitten with one eye and three legs: "LIKE IF YOU HATE ANIMAL CRUELTY, KEEP SCROLLING IF YOU'RE HAPPY THIS KITTEN GOT BEAT."
To that I say, I'm so sorry that kitten is not happy. And if that same one-eyed, three-legged kitten hobbled up to my doorstep, I would keep it. Name it Cyclops. And love on it for the rest of its poor little life. But me "Liking" a picture on Facebook does not a thing but blow up my notifications for the rest of eternity. So go on away with that stuff. Don't tell me what I have to do. This is America.

2.) "Your" and "You're"

I know it's sad that this is second on my list. But I am a self-pronounced grammar nazi. When I see posts on Facebook like -

"ONE DAY YOUR GONNA COME BACK AND REALIZE WHAT YOUR MISSIN AND I HOPE YOUR HAPPY WITH THAT HOE. YOUR MAMA EVEN SAYS YOUR GONNA MISS ME CAUSE IM A REAL WOMAN AND YOUR NEVER GONNA FIND SOMEONE BETTER."
...
It is so hard for me not to troll them. I literally have to sit on my hands to not comment something like "Maybe YOU'RE single because YOUR grammar is painful."

And people say, "What is the difference, you know what I mean. It doesn't hurt anything."

The English language has already been so massacred by the U.S. that it is all we can do to try to salvage what we can. It isn't that hard. And it makes you seem so intelligent when you use it correctly. One of the reasons I started dating my last boyfriend is because of his excellent grammar and conversation skills.

"Why can't the English learn how to speak?"

3.)  The "guy posing in front of bathroom mirror with no shirt/shirt pulled up with a caption like 'i go hard bruh'" phenomenon.

STOP. Please. I don't care if you have abs like that dude from Immortals, you automatically become a doucher by choosing this pose. I'm sorry. Not an actual one, but that is certainly what you seem like.
To the women who post encouraging comments on pictures like these? Don't. If you think he is "sexy fiyyynnee" then message him about it. Don't encourage the foolishness.

P.S. You "go hard"? With your toilet in the background and your little sister's Dora The Explorer toothpaste on the counter? Please, tell me about life on those streets.


4.) Girls who put up pictures of themselves and caption it "Ew I'm so ugly."

Ladies. We all know you think you were hot in that picture and you want someone to tell you so you'll feel better. If you argue against a man's compliments long enough he will STOP GIVING THEM. No matter how fantastic of a person he is. So cut that crap out.

And if you honestly do think that was an ugly picture of you, I will share some advice.

When I take a picture of myself, and I think it is gross...here we go, the advice... I DELTE IT. I do not put it on a social network site to see how many people agree.


5.) People who don't have a single picture of themselves on Facebook.

How in the world am I supposed to tell who you are if all your pictures are of animals, witty sayings, or cars (Are you a transformer or something? No.)?  Just don't expect me to add you if you're being shady with the pictures. I will either think you are
A) a terrorist/ pedophile from another country only adding me to later kidnap me and make me a slave or
B) Someone's grandmother who can't work a computer and is only adding me to stalk

It is FACEbook. Have your face somewhere on it.


6.) Statuses or posts where I have to click "Keep reading"


Just summarize. We're all too lazy for that unless we really like you.

7.) Over-editing of pictures.

We don't need you to write your name all over all of your pictures. Your name is right there beside the profile picture box, we know who you are.  And if you aren't taking pictures in the pitch-black dark, the night vision editing isn't necessary.

8.) "Hacked" Facebook accounts.

Let me explain something. Getting on someone else's Facebook account because they forgot to log off is NOT "hacking." Hacking implies effort. And if you are on someone else's account, at least make it interesting. Don't just post a cute status.

9.) Names that aren't names.

I know your mother did not name you "TayTay TheeMosSwaqq&&GorgeouzessTrixEvah Johnson"
Cause goodness knows that would have been terrible learning how to spell in kindergarten.

10.) The Duck Face.

Quack. Quack.

11.) The "date or pass" game. 

I am willing to BET that this game has never found anyone their next serious, committed, loving relationship. It just gets a bunch of creepers in your inbox.

This goes for most Facebook games in general.




And with that, I'll stop. I could continue, but I might end up just sounding too cranky.
Thanks for reading my rant, let's all do our part to keep Facebook users sane.

Love,
Anna
