Boring Facebook updates thread

People 'check in' by using a GPS signal on their phone to locate landmarks. So by checking in, people know where you are and who you're with.

Sometimes it's kinda cool to do...so if you outside Buckingham Palace or somewhere like that, it makes a good talking point.

But if you tag stupidly like 'Tesco with my Mum'.......

Seems rather dangerous to me.

Then I am a paranoid individual after all.

lol this is why I'm not on facebook

The thing is, there's nothing inherently wrong with Facebook. It's actually a really good way of keeping in contact with people, for example I have mates in Holland and obviously that would cost too much for a text, so it's easier to just Facebook them.

However some of the idiots on Facebook make it more... Tiresome. However they are generally amicable people in real life. Go figure.

'Always nice when your neighbour decides to be nosey and look over the fence the day you're sunbathing in your underwear.'

Raises an eyebrow but boring none the less.

The ones that annoy me are the "If you know someone who had cancer......repost if you have the courage", "If you support our troops..........repost.." and my all time favourite:

"I believe in Jesus Christ and have accepted Him as my personal Savior. One person on FB has challenged all believers to put this on their wall...In the Bible it says, if you deny Me in front of your peers, I will deny you before my Father at The Gates of Heaven. (Mat 10:33) This is simple...If you love God and you are not afraid to show it, re-post this. Just copy and paste...no shame here!!!"

besides being biblically inaccurate, it is just completely un-necessary and as Easyrider is quick to point out, Banal.

I really hate needless soppiness between a couple.

E.g. "I love _____ so much more than anything ever he is such a fluffy puppy cake"
And then "awh smoochie pookie poos I love you so much more" and finally the dreaded "mwah xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Just grinds my gears.

I might as well post one of mine, except I think this one is awesome:

Who knew that bidding for washing machines on the Comet auction site was so intense?! I hope I don't develop an addiction.

This times infinity!!!!

My cousin and her fella' are the soppiest people I know. I'd post a snip but just looking down her wall makes me nauseous.

Also saying goodnight to facebook earns you a removal from my friends list.

I have one that simply says:

CHLOSTROPHOBIC!

Don't get me wrong I'm pretty soppy, but I don't think all my friends need to see pet names for my fuzz...... Ahem..... Bf.

I've got a good nighter, can't get rid of her though because she's

Crunchy Nut Cornflakes I'm sorry I neglected you for so long... :mad:

Get a grip and just eat your breakfast ffs

secretspy · 24 Jul 2011 at 22:56

I hold my hands up and admit I make boring Facebook Status' purely because...well I'm bored

One being:

Apparently my mum has bought durex batteries.....no idea where she does her shopping!! Don't think I want to know

I don't like the cancer/troup/whatever repost ones not because I don't agree with them but people already know. That said there was a different cancer one going around. My dad has cancer, my brother put it as his status and it said something about "please post this for an hour for more awareness, I know those who will" so I did because of my dad

One really annoying one is: 'Amy Winehouse is dead

'

Would now be a good time to mention openbook?

Try 'muslims', 'gay', 'not racist but' or any other term you might find interesting in the search bar and stare in wonder at the secrets revealed.

explicit4u · 24 Jul 2011 at 22:59

Why on earth is this 'Top News'???

I was guilty of that but I was first and I didn't do an :O face, I was just informing the people that use facebook as an actual news feed. I then had over 30 comments from people making jokes and others telling them not to be so disrespectful...
