Facebook Don'ts

I am so annoyed with Facebook right now.

So annoyed, in fact, that I find myself checking it every 5 seconds.

No one knew Mark Zuckerberg was really creating crack 

when he invented the book of face.

Damn you Zuckerberg. 

I know, I know. I could just delete it.

I'm sure it would save me a lot of time.

But then what would I complain about?

And better yet, how would I know about anything going on in the real world

if it wasn't for the completely biased,

unintelligent opinions of 3498745 of my closest friends people I don't even know?

Hence my Facebook conundrum.

And the topic of today's post.

Since I just can't bring myself to delete that little ole Facebook account,

I figured I could at least give y'all some sound Facebook advice.

I present to you:

Marianna's Unofficial Facebook DON'Ts

1. DON'T send me a game invitation. Sure I've dabbled in a few of those Facebook games

(never Farmville though, never.) but come on guys. How lame do you think I am? Don't answer that. 

2. DON'T post a status asking for people to message you their address if they're interested in attending your upcoming baby shower/birthday/wedding. I have one word for this - TACKY with a capital T.

3. DON'T post pictures of your freshly birthed baby. I won't even go far enough to say don't post ultrasound pictures, although 20,000 of them are a bit much. However, nobody, not even you really, wants to see a gooky, fresh outta the "you know what" baby. If you want to document that moment, go right ahead, but please save those pictures for the Baby Book, not the Facebook.

4. DON'T "share" everything. Oh em gee. Out of all the changes Facebook has made over the years, the "share" button has got to be my least favorite. There is no need to "share" every cool picture, post, article, you come across. Enough already. 

5. DON'T post nonsense pictures. You know the ones I'm talking about. "I'll give you $3,000,000 plus my first born child if this picture gets 50,000,000 likes." How bout, I'll punch you in the face if I see one more of these floating around my computer screen. Even the cutesy, inspirational quotes are getting to be too much. 

6. DON'T ever, and I mean ever, TyPe LiKe ThIs. iT iS oBnOxIoUs aNd hArD tO rEaD. Plus it takes freaking forever.

I think that's enough for today. 

Study up. If you need to make changes in your current Facebook actions,

I understand. I don't think too much less of you for committing these Facebook crimes.

In fact, your obnoxiousness on Facebook gives me something to bitch blog about.

So, I guess maybe I should be thanking you?

But I'm not. 

Because these things are annoying.

Hugs,
