5 Annoying Things People Do on Facebook

I know that I have had similar posts in the past but there are news things to add to previous lists. Please keep in mind that people are free to do what they want to do. I’m just using my platform to get some things off of my chest.

1. Grammar Corrections: I’m all for being corrected when I am wrong but it is a little annoying when you have drafted up a passionate post and someone comes by attempting to get attention by correcting a grammar error. I aim to NEVER correct someone on Facebook on THEIR posts. I might correct them on my own wall… but it is rarely related to grammar and spelling. Did I spell any of these words wrong?

2. I don’t know why people do this and I don’t know why it bothers me but was is the point in posting updates like “I have 1678 friends requests!” Do you want a cookie? Do you want a ribbon? Do you want some help cleaning your friends requests up? Is the point to get people to say, “She sho’ is popular on Facebook!” SO WHAT!

3. Facebook is really going to have to do something about this “Like” button issue. People post things like, “My grandpa died. I’m so sad” and there will be 62 “likes.” I don’t get it! What is there to like about that? Maybe they need an “agree” button or a “I’m sorry to hear that! My condolences” button.

4. ENOUGH WITH THE CHATTY CHURCH CAT! I had it up to here! I don’t want to have it posted on my wall! I don’t want to hear a cat talking about Jesus! I want to hear some real people talking about him! I have already reached the “churchy cat in my inbox” limit. THANKS!

5. Finally… If you haven’t stepped foot into a church, what right do you have to be telling the folks who go what they can and cannot do while they are there! If I want to update my social networking sites while I am at church, I will do just that!

HERE ARE  FEW MORE FROM BOREDCRAZY.COM!

    1. People Who ‘Like’ Their Own Statuses

      You posted it, of course you like it.

    2. Vaguebooking

      “Oh my god!!”, “I knew this would happen”, “You’ll see…” Seeing vague statuses such as these in your news feed is an unfortunate side effect of having friends that are desperate for attention.

    3. Vaguebook Responders

      The only thing worse than a vaguebooker are the people who coddle their insecurities.

 

  1. Husband/Wife PDAF

    Public Displays of Affection on Facebook. Constantly expressing your undying love for one another via Facebook probably means you’re both incredibly insecure and there’s a good chance your marriage will fail.

  2. TMI

    “Holy crap, I just took the biggest shit! It must’ve been 3 feet long and ripped out all my butt hairs!! lol” Thanks for sharing.

  3. You’re vs. Your

    This has become an epidemic, so let’s make it simple… if you can use “You are” within the context of the sentence, then you can use the contraction “You’re.” If not, use “Your.” You’re welcome.

  4. The Proud Parent

    Yes, I would like to see photos of your child. I just don’t want to have to browse through 257, including 24 photos that are exactly the same, except that your kid’s head is tilted at a slightly different angle.

  5. The Anti-Facebook Facebook Addict

    You know who I’m talking about. These wannabe rebels are always threatening to cancel their Facebook account because they are concerned about the security of their personal information, yet they willingly provide exact details regarding their upcoming vacation, the dates they will be gone, and where their spare house key is hidden.

  6. Double Posting

    If you have a fan page for your business, website or hobby, you don’t need to post updates on both the page and your personal profile at the same time. Your friends should all like your page anyway, so it’s really unnecessary and just plain annoying. If you happen to find out one of your friends doesn’t like your fan page, unfriend them immediately since they probably don’t like you all that much anyway.

  7. One and Done

    This is the person who posts a status update and rarely responds to any subsequent comments. Really? A few of your friends took valuable time out of their day to respond to your post, and you can’t at least respond with a ;) ?

Oprah Named as Blue Ivy Carter’s God Mother

Of all the gifts received by Beyoncé and Jay-Z for their brand new bundle of joy, only the queen of all media thought about the child’s future and bought her a trunk of books. I guess that’s enough to crown Oprah Winfrey as Godmother to Blue Ivy Carter! Tell the truth… you are jealous! I am too! Oprah will make an outstanding Godmother! Move over Gayle’s kids! Blue Ivy is here!

Oh, in the event that you care, the Godfather is Jay-Z’s pal Tyran “Ty Ty” Smith. I googled him but nothing came up. We trust that this is a wise decision, but if it is not, God mother will be there to save the day!  [Source]

UPDATE: It’s been resported that Gayle King is denying this news. She WOULD be the one to speak first!

Guess who’s singing the National Anthem at the Superbowl?

A) Whitney Houston B) Beyonce C) R. Kelly or D) Kelly Clarkson?

Yes, Ms. Kelly Clarkson! I love her but I wonder why they couldn’t have mixed it up since she did the NBA Finals in 2011. Here’s that video… You seen it once, you seen it all.

On another note… who has done it better than this…

Aretha Franklin Calls Off Wedding

That was quick. After less than a month of engagement, Aretha Franklin and Willie Wilkerson will no longer be walking down the aisle. Re Re and her folks released a statement:

“Will and I have decided we were moving a little too fast, and there were a number of things that had not been thought through thoroughly. There will be no wedding at this time,” Franklin said. “We will not comment on it any further because of the very personal and sensitive nature of it. We appreciate all of the many well wishes from friends.”

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer Puts her finger in the POTUS’s Face and I’m Mad!

Is there ever a reason for you to put your finger in a grown man’s face who is not your child?The Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has no manners! I can’t think of any reason why her finger would find it’s way to the area where a man’s face is. Especially if the man is not her husband or child! Who has the audacity to put their finger in the POTUS’s face? What country can you do that in and not lose your head? Where was security? She should be reprimanded by her HUSBAND and her party!

I don’t care what they were discussing! I don’t care if they were laughing before, during or after! I don’t care! Don’t put your hands in someone’s face. In case you care about what went down, CLICK HERE.

[Music] The Walls – The Appeal by Kirk Franklin

Good morning, my friends! What’s good? I hope you have taken time to thank God for your life! Here’s a little a little morning worship with “The Walls/” I love these people!

Was Mary J. Blige Snubbed by the Oscars?

“The Help” has been nominated for a few Academy Awards this year but not for Mary J. Blige’s singing. To many folk’s surprise, the soundtrack’s best song featuring Mary J. Blige got no Oscar love. It’s reported that Mary asked everyone to pray while the announcements were announced and was disappointed to learn that it didn’t get a nod.

You know I LOVE me some Mary J. Blige and The Help was a cool movie but… I am not sure it’s an outstanding song. I wouldn’t even buy it on iTunes. I am not sure what it did on the charts but it couldn’t have done that great. In all fairness, it probably depends on what else was nominated. The song didn’t even get any Grammy love, though.

Will & Jada Partner with Simon Cowell and Sony Pictures Television for Reality Show

Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith are on a roll! While the wheels were turning about the potential of a divorce, these two were off buying up NBA teams and taking over television! That’s what you call a POWER COUPLE! Making moves TOGETHER! The couple’s Overbrook Entertainment company will partner with Simon Cowell and Sony Pictures Television to find America’s best DJ.

“This show will comb the world to find a new breed of talent,” Pinkett-Smith said in a statement. “I am happy to be creating it alongside Simon Cowell, the Sony Team and my partner Miguel Melendez, on behalf of the Overbrook family.”

My Thoughts on Newt Gingrich’s Comment about “The Language of Prosperity”

I’m an educator and support bilingual education. I believe that a school should teach students to speak the LANGUAGES that are necessary to survive personally and professionally. Considering that the census predicts that in 2050, 30% of the population will be Spanish-speaking, I am not sure how Newt can say that English stands alone as the “language of prosperity.” Even today, a person who is bilingual has the potential to make more money than someone who has mastered the English language alone. I digress. P.S. I’m not bashing Republicans, I’m challenging a dumb comment.
