The Drama!.. I graduated HS 16 years ago and found two of my friends on facebook. It was great to find them again. Then it started. The friend requests from those in grade school and high school who wouldn’t even talk to me. For a month straight I ended up with tons of friend requests from people (whom I accepted unfortunetly), and then never heard another word from them. I’m assuming that everyone is just curious what each other looks like? I don’t accept requests anymore unless we actually knew each other. Definitely annoying.

You forgot The Annoying Traveler. “Just back from Bali, 24 hours to repack before taking off on Safari!!!” (Annoying Travelers just love the exclamation point.) Yeah, buddy, my little heart bleeds for you as I toil away in my home-office in my effing pajamas.

How about the trashy hos who follow you on twitter and post a sex photo and issue stupid invites to join them or view their photos ? I really hate those: delete, delete, delete. By the way, great dialogue.

There is one kinda cool Facebook user: the one who, without overdoing it, posts links to really interesting, unusual or vastly entertaining stuff that you haven’t already seen a million times. Maybe they are the Editors? Discerners? Conductors?

Funny! Don’t forget the “Sender” – the person who has to send you all those invites, or silver chalices from some inane game they are playing in the Facebook Alternate Universe. I got a “speckled goat” from a game I’ve never even heard of!
And, there’s the “Be-Friender” – the one who makes EVERYONE their Facebook friend. I actually had a former classmate (25+ years ago) e-mail me to ask why I hadn’t accepted her HUSBAND’s “friend invitation!” Um, because I don’t know him, and this is all VEEERY creepy to me! Is there some sort of Facebook Friend tote board that I need to be updating?

How about the ‘Debbie Downers’? Kinda like the ‘EMO’ mentioned above except it’s all negative all the time.. “Another dreary day”, “Oh no, the kids are sick again – I never get a break.”, “Feeling blue and have to much to do.”. One of my friends on there is exactly like that, never a positive thing to say about her day or life. Every few days she must run out of bummer complaining things to say and simply goes with “…Sigh…” or “Blah”.

This is hilarious. You have them pegged!!!
I have coined another FB personality: The FaceBook Snobs.

FaceBook Snobs: respond to and dialogue with certain friends, but never to others, even though they have accepted a friend request from the others.

Me thinks they want to accumulate the most number of “friends” to show off??? A colleague says it’s just them going “back” to High School days of “cliques”

And yes, it’s annoying to read the posts between 2 people who don’t use the email (private) feature. It’s like you’re at the table with the two of them and they have their own little private conversation about their plans that really don’t include anyone else – yet it’s posted for everyone to see. Maybe they just don’t know how to email privately???

Oh. I have one for you. The PREACHER. I had a woman that I graduated with contact me to be my friend on FB. Fine. Great to hear from her.
Until the 30 texts a day started coming about praising Jesus and quoting the Bible continuously. I have nothing against religion, but GHEESH. I finally blocked her. Couldn’ t take it any longer. Praise Jesus.

I love all your ideas… clearly a part deux will be necessary. I think you a couple of you guys are describing the FB phony. The one who puts up a ton of pics and status updates that make them sound so busy and fabulous.
I like feamom making random stuff up.

Hazel’s ref to the quizzes holy shit, they do quizzes on everything from “do you recognize the logos” to “who would you be compatible with at the movies”

My daughter who is 4 plays on the farmville thing and now everyone keeps working on my farm. People are hoeing and planting and tilling and becoming my neighbor, it’s nuts.

PS feel free to challenge me at wordTwist… I’ll kick your butt!

Great post! I love it! I was looking for humor articles about social media. Here’s one: The Twitterer. (I used to be one of these) They have Twitter and FaceBook connected so all their updates are filled with hashtags, @ signs, and Twitter-Speak that can be “geek speak” to their non-twittering FaceBook friends.

I gotta run now, but I’ll join your fan page and blog roll you this afternoon!
