Let's see. I kind of went on a tangent with writing things in the form of a rant that bothered me. Was kind of making fun of myself and my little quirks, simply having fun with some of the strange things that bother me and it kind of turned into this.
These aren't necessarily things that just **** me off to the point where I start hating society as a whole but...they do bug people like me a bit. Could be an obsessive compulsive thing of mine, my silly um...introvertedness(?) or just things that just happen to annoy me on social networking sites for whatever reason. Feel free to add some of yours, if you like. I must admit I'm curious as to what I may be forgetting.
1. "My life is falling apart because <insert some stupid reason like a small argument that happened between me and my boyfriend>!!!":
I'm a pretty nice guy to my lady friends and I guess I let them off pretty light. I'll hang out with them, look out for them, talk on the phone with them and listen to them ***** about their boyfriends doing something mean or whatnot. But some younger women (as we all know) will occasionally get over-dramatic and put all of their business out there. In my case, this happens on Facebook. Then they proceed to "poke" you (whatever the hell that's for... No seriously, what the hell is a "poke" for? But anyways...), message you, text you on the phone for a comment on that situation to actually get you involved with (thus circumventing the exclusive, intimate boundaries in) her relationship.
To be honest, I do not have as many problems with this as I used to. I have "put my foot down" with lady friends that do this, telling them that I will listen and provide my two cents, if they want it. But unless it threatens their safety, I'm not getting involved. Period. Still, it's a bit of a hassle when I do get messages with a similar, possible agenda. I know this one centers more around the choice of friends that I keep than the others. I try to limit that equation as much as I can, picking and choosing my battles. Sometimes, friends do need help, even if it is just someone who will listen.
2. "Dude, I don't even know you.":
Random add requests (as I mentioned in another subject), no messages explaining who they are, where they come from and who they might know that I know, but for some reason isn't seen in mutual friends. Hell, I'd be closer to being content if there was at least some message telling me something about this person: "I'm a friend of Lacy May," "I'm no one you know, but you seem like an interesting person," "I've been stalking you since 1999," Hell, ANYTHING. Unless its obvious, all a blank request tells me is "Hey, I'm a person." Well, no ****...
3. "(Friend Name, who has yet to take the hint, for some reason) has sent you their 819th Farmville Request!"):
I've told my friends (many, many times) not to send me application/game/etc. requests or invites. Yet they do anyway. I still have invites and requests there that I've ignored for the past year and a half. Sometimes, I can't help but feel like Stan (South Park) when it comes to Facebook. But the bottom line is, Hey, you're my friend, I love you...but I don't care about your ****ing virtual crops.
-------------------
This is all I have for right now. I'm sleep deprivated from working on a project that's actually productive, unlike this. To be honest, I wrote this because parts of it made me laugh for some reason. Ignore it or add to it, critique me, lock it or whatever you guys plan to do. But if there happens to be another topic about or like this and I didn't see it, then I truly apologize.
After reading this again, I really feel like I should work on shortening my sentences.
Anyways...enjoy. Or don't.
