This was the year in which I started using Facebook. For most intents and purposes I can say that I enjoy it. But, like everything, it certainly has its downside.
Think Farmville. Or, more specifically, people posting about lost sheep. Or lonely pink clownfish. Because really I could care less about Farmville fungifts and anything and everything else even remotely associated with Farmville.
Sorry. Just sayin’.
Another downside? Friends who become fans of the most ridiculous things known to man.
Not that I have any friends like that. (Ahem. Ali).
I thought I’d put together a list of the fifteen most ridiculous fan-able things I’ve come across on Facebook.
If you find my list entertaining, feel free to fan it.
Just kiddin’.
15. I hate getting texts that only say k. Yep. That’s really something you can fan. Wish I knew the cell phone number of the person who started that. Betcha can guess what I’d text them.
14. I hate waking up during a good dream and it won’t come back. Thanks for sharing.
13. Pretending to text in awkward situations. Do I sense a texting theme here? Gee. I wonder the demographics of those who are starting these groups.
12. Not being on fire. Wow. Talk about Nobel Prize worthy.
11. I hate battery low. Then charge it dear Henry, dear Henry, then charge it dear Henry- charge it!
10. Flipping the pillow over to get to the cold side. I wouldn’t know about that. Here in Arizona there is no cold side.
9. That was NOT your last piece of gum stop lying. Fine. You got me.
8. I will name my son Batman if this page gets to 500,000. I’m not sure that the world is ready for another balloon boy’s dad.
7. I use my cell phone to see in the dark. Well. If he wasn’t such a dim-wit maybe he wouldn’t have to.
6. My door was closed when you came in, don’t walk off and leave it open. I wonder if there is a similar group for ‘the light was off when you came into the kitchen, don’t walk off and leave it on.’ Not that I live with people who do that.
5. I will go slightly out of my way to step on a crunchy looking leaf. Or kick a rock. Or step on a crack. Yeah. So?
4. I hate bathroom stalls with doors going in. Me too, if I’m being honest. Somehow I wasn’t compelled to fan it (and therefore broadcast it to my entire network) though. Go figure.
3. So many empty seats on this train/bus, why do you have to sit next to me? Clearly it’s because you are so intellectually stimulating. Why else?
2. How drunk was that guy who invented PEZ? All the way to the bank baby.
1. Why do people with bad breath always wanna tell secrets? Or better yet. Why are they the ones that I end up seated next to on a long flight?
Surely you have a friend that fans a plethora of dumb pages. Which ones have I overlooked?
