Facebook Petpeeves

Confession: I'm addicted to Facebook. I've actually gotten a lot better than I use to be about checking FB, but I still couldn't imagine a day without logging in. There are many things about fb that often make me wonder why I continue doing it to myself ("it" being reading through status after status, day after day) and I've usually kept my lips zipped about these annoyances. But now I have my own blog and feel I can say whatever I want! HA! *Disclosure - if any of the following pertain to you, please don't take offense* So here it goes.... I can't stand when 90% of my home page is filled with statuses from the same person! Really folks, I don't pretend to have any more of a thrilling life than you do, but don't post every 3 minutes and show the whole world just how boring your life is! Because obviously if you can post that often, you have nothing better to do, ever. HERE'S ANOTHER ONE THAT JUST MAKES ME WANT TO SCREAM (are you ready to scream yet?) - using all caps doesn't make me want to pay more attention to your post, it makes me want to "hide" you. For goodness sake, use caps only for the 1st letter in your sentence and for proper nouns just like your second grade teacher told you to. Speaking of 2nd grade English class, let's talk punctuation. I think many of you have broken comma keys... do you realize how difficult it is to comprehend what you're trying to say when you never use a comma or a period?? And calm down with the exclamation points too; trust me, not everything you're saying deserves this punctuation mark. Just save it for when you truly are excited about something, not for every.single.comment. I won't even get into their, they're and there as I think this is just a lost cause. If you are an adult and still don't understand the difference there's probably not much hope in teaching you. Also, if you are an adult I expect to read real words (you know, the ones you can find in a dictionary). I mean, is it really that much harder to spell out the word "and" instead of "nd"? And if you write "bk" I will think you are referring to Burger King, not telling me you'll be "back". I could probably go on and on, but I'll stop now before I am "unfriended" by too many people on Facebook. Feel free to share some of your own petpeeves, whether they stem from facebook or just life in general. HV A GR8 NT!!!!! lol    -kle
