How To Annoy Me on Facebook, Part 2

When I wrote the first “How to Annoy Me on Facebook,” I should have known that the four things I listed were just the tip of the iceberg, and I suspected, that after I wrote the following, I had just only cracked the surface.

  1. Upload every photo in a set despite the fact that some of them are blurry, others contain only limbs and most are just plain bad. So you went to your cousin’s wedding/had an amazing night with the girls/took a vacation - this does not mean I need to see EVERY single photo from your excursion, including the ones where your husband is holding your kid in the same pose for 15 consecutive photos or when your friend was drunk enough to not realize the camera was on when she took photos of the ceiling, floor and half of your face. Stop being so useless.
  2. Take the “When Will You Get Married?” and “How Well Do You Know [Insert Name Here]?” quiz. I understand that you’re bored. I understand that you’re immature enough to take quizzes most probably written by 15-year-olds, but you know, after you’re finished, a handy screen pops up, asking if you’d like to “publish” the quiz, or “skip” it. Nine times out of 10, your inclination should be to skip. I don’t care, and despite what you may think, your friends don’t care either, so stop clogging up everyone’s news feed.
  3. Use LOL/ROFL/LMAO excessively. These common internet acronyms used to convey emotion are fine I suppose, when used sparingly, but when a reply to your friend looks like this: LOL yaaaa I know, it was so funnnnyyy, I had such a great time, can’t wait to party it up together again LMAO! You made me ROFL! LOLOLOL - it’s time to reexamine things. If you talk this way online, God knows what you sound like in person. It’s not becoming.

Oh, I love it when people use acronyms all the fucking time. You can tell these people are the true conversationalists of our society. I wonder what it would be like to be a fly on the wall during one of their job interviews, though. That would be something to LOL at.

Although there is one acronym I do like, ROFLMAOPIMP, rolling on the floor lauging my ass off pissing in my pants, only because the thought of whoever I’m talking to laughing hysterically in their own urine is probably funnier than whatever I just said.
