I only recently started using Facebook more for actual school stuff, and the first thing that made me want to block people were the "Like if you know ______" and it'd be a picture of Green Acres or something like that.

Facebook has a come a ways since I first started my account 3 years ago. I still remember wall posts being shown when going through one's friends list or how you could write your interests on your profile and have a long list of likes at the bottom.
Of course, I started a Facebook account just to see what the deal was because Myspace was considered passe at that point, which was in 2009, even though I still actively used Myspace until then.

I could handle that if not for the ineveitbale follow up of: 'I dont want to talk about it' x Which is then flooded with condolences, even though they don't know what it is. You can practically seething because they aren't being told.

But Green Acres is the place to be! Simple but effective posts like this are what keep me coming back.

- Vague posts - in a relationship/single/in a relationship/it's complicated/in a relationship/single/it's complicated... - "Let me see who my real friends are..." - those E card things or whatever they are called. - pictures of "inspirational" sayings - posting pictures of your new shoes

faux cries for help on a weekly basis
example
John Someguy: Yanno, this stuff keeps happening, and I keep letting it. I've made so many mistakes in life.. i guess it's time for the final mistake (7 hours ago)
Friend 1: Dude whats wrong? (7 hours ago) Friend 2: You allright man? (7 hours ago) Friend 3: Hey, call me if you need to talk (5 hours ago) Friend 1: Hey you wont answer your phone (5 hours ago) Friend 4: Need to talk? (4 hours ago) Friend 5: Hey whats wrong? (2 hours ago)

I hate when people post ambiguous things like "Something amazing happened today", or "This is horrible", expecting people to pry further.
I have a friend who is guilty of doing this a lot. I've called him on it, but he still does it. Irritates the piss out of me.

Like for God. Scroll for the Devil I saw one that said "Like if you like Satan. Keep scrolling if you like Satan." I shared it and some people got mad. I imagined them sitting there, staring at the screen not sure what to do before ultimately deciding to power off their computer. Something that has been bothering me lately are the "Like if you remember this" posts. It usually seems to be stuff that everybody would remember because it's such a part of pop culture that even if you were born in just the last 10 years you'd know of it. Waaay too many of these lately.

Anybody who constantly uses "haha" in their status updates. Not everything is funny.
Also, I'll cosign on the "Like for God, Scroll for Satan" crap. Just bugs the hell out of me.

I agree with everything except the kids thing. Isn't Facebook meant to keep in touch with friends and family and keep them up to date with your everyday life? Aren't kids part of that everyday life if you have them? Agree with this. If you complain about pictures... honestly, you need to simply stop going onto Facebook.

Is it me or does all the lasses on there seem to get pregnant in groups? 4 or 5 girls from my 1st job, all have had babies in the past year, none married yet, like did they all get together and say "Yeaa lets have babies!" I used to hang out with someone, and I would suspect he would make up stories and crap about himself, well once facebook came, it became more apparent, like he made up he had a daughter, then said she was in the hospital, to get sympathy/attention, then eventually said she died in a car accident. And I would say "You dont have a daughter" and he would say "Nah I dont, umm i meant my niece" Suffice to say I have not been friends with this person for 2 years now (other reasons as well, he would bug me wayyyyy too much)

To be honest, what I've done is, just about everyone on my friends list I've right-clicked and selected: Only Important for their updates, or outright just unsubscribed to some people.
I avoid ninety nine percent of all these things now.
Granted, my wall is like a ghost town much of the time, but it's better that than a morass of inanity.

Picture of a sick/dying/abused child with "Every like = $1 to their treatment." No it won't. Why are you doing this? SO MUCH THIS. It actually makes me feel guilty that I legitimately think I'm so much smarter than these people who seem to buy into this crap. I just don't understand how someone can be that stupid and moreover, how many people! Lots of hate towards the chain "Only 7% of people will share this photo, show me that you're a TRUE friend by being one of them!" and "Back in my day, things were so much better because my parents beat the living daylights out of me on a regular basis" kind of crap that gets passed around. I don't mind people posting pictures of stuff and comments and all that, that's what Facebook's for. It's all the spammy dumb stuff that gets in the way that I have such rabid disdain towards.
