I see many, many things on Facebook that annoy me on a daily basis. Sure, we all have bad days and probably complain once or twice on our status updates. I’m definitely guilty as charged on that one. However, I have recently come across probably the most annoying personality trait ever on Facebook.
It starts with someone sharing a little too much information. Maybe they are having marital problems, maybe their child is being mistreated at school, maybe it’s some other relationship issue or job issue going on. Whatever the case, they share a little more than the average person would probably feel comfortable sharing in such a public setting. And then, they invite everyone on their friend’s list to play armchair psychologist to “help” them.
And this is where the fun starts.
People will either tell you what you want to hear, what they think you want to hear, and some brave souls will tell you the truth even when it hurts.
And this is where it starts getting good.
After a myriad of helpful (and not so helpful) suggestions are made, the person will finally get so exasperated that they get mad, take their toys, and then leave. But NOT without the million dollar question:
“Gah! Why can’t everyone just STAY OUT OF MY BUSINESS???!!!!” Then they stomp off to their angry chair.
Why, indeed!
I don’t ever respond to these types of people because it’s just funnier to sit back and watch. But, it eventually gets so annoying and clogs up my feed that I have to hide them for my sanity’s sake. I am so glad Facebook has that option. It’s just less obvious than deleting them from your friend’s list and they are none the wiser.
This is SO TRUE! The people who are most dramatic on Facebook are always the ones who claim to want to be left alone, lol. Or another one that makes me laugh is, “So-and-so is totally stalking me! It’s none of their business…”
I love the “hide” option because you can quietly ignore them without them knowing. 😉
