facebook rant because I am really annoyed right now, and I think it'll make me feel better.
Let me start this off by saying that I'm sorry if I offend anyone. None of this is directed at anyone I am friends with on here, so I hope you don't get offended, but as it is a possibility that someone will misunderstand me or that I am unaware of how people will respond, I'd like to apologize in advance.
I love facebook most of the time. Since I'm in school a long way from home, I can keep in contact with the friends that I can't see all the time as well as keeping in contact with people that are here in Illinois with me when I can't see them that often. I can share cool things that I find with other people. I can let other people see what I'm doing on a daily basis (not that anyone actually cares). This also works in reverse. I can see what other people are doing.
This is where it starts to turn sour. I don't use many applications at all (and certainly none of the applications where you send stuff to other people/play games with other people). I can easily hide these applications from my feed and block other people from sending me invites. This is no problem. I can hide quizzes when people take a million and one of them. If I want, I can hide a person if they are being annoying (although I'm not sure why I'd be friends with someone I didn't want to see in my feed, but whatever).
Facebook, the almighty king of social networking sites at the moment, does not offer the option for me to hide individual posts on my feed. For instance if something like this comes up in my feed (we're not going to even discuss it. I don't want to go into how angry this makes me), I can't hide it, even though I would prefer not to see it.
Also, if my friends have not yet figured out that you can comment on things that you have posted on someone else's wall, and I get a million posts clogging up my feed that comprise a conversation between the two people which I really don't care to read and is really none of my business, I can't hide that either, without hiding the two people in question.
Yet another thing that annoys me is when my feed is clogged up with a billion posts telling me things my friends have become fans of. I like it when my friends become fans of things I think are interesting or are inside jokes, and I become fans of them as well, but there's a lot of other things on there that I would prefer not to see. For example, these are just a few of the gems that have been in my feed as of the past two days:
O.B.A.M.A. (One Big Ass Mistake, America)
because I'm sure you based your opinion off of information besides the crap from Fox News your parents always talk about
I hate when people sit in front of you at movies & take away your foot rest
I'm pretty sure that pisses off everyone
I Dont Need Anger Management ... You Just Need To Stop Pissin Me Off !!
You're a fan of the fact that you don't need anger management? I'm confused
YOU came to OUR country. YOU learn OUR language.
While I do believe that if you are going to live in this country, you should probably eventually learn to speak the language that most of the people here speak, I feel this is incredibly ignorant because when you meet someone, you really have NO IDEA how long they've been in this country unless you ask them. Yes, they may be speaking a different language, but what if they've only been here a week?
"OH, SO LET ME TELL YOU THIS STORY..." "Dude, I was there with you." "Oh."
This happens to everyone, duh.
Telling inanimate objects to STAY when they look like they're going to fall.
I'm pretty sure everyone does this at one point or another in their lives
I'm a fan of becoming a fan!
*facepalm*
Seeing an old person eating alone at a restaurant depresses me.
That's nice. I don't care.

LOL WE'RE NOT EVEN GONNA GO THERE
I play with my phone when I'm waiting for someone so I don't look stupid
You play with your phone to not look stupid while waiting, but you look stupid because you became a fan of this on facebook.
<--- the best picture taken at the superbowl!
That's nice.

If I miss 11/11/11 11:11:11 i will be pissed.
Yes, because obviously if you make a wish then, it will come true.
I stare off into space and realize im staring at a random person..akward..
I'm glad you missed spelling and grammar lessons while you were staring off into space.
I used to pretend I was asleep after night car-rides to be carried inside
And I used to pick my nose. We all did when we were 5
oh snap, its friday, looks like its time to snow again!
oh snap, its sunday, looks like its time to be stupid on facebook!
smelling everything that's bad for you... Sharpies... Nail polish... etc.
...cocaine...etc.
DUDE! We almost died!!! Yea, but it was fun though!
DUDE! It's called adrenaline!!!
I wish people would just be happy. No wars, no drama. Let's just be happy.
I wish people would be miserable all the time.
Don't EVER break a pinky promise. That stuff is LEGIT.
so other promises are not legit?
Just because im nice to you, doesn't mean i like you. It means im not rude.
Congrats.

LOOK I JUST DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE OTHER CHARACTERS BESIDES LETTERS AND NUMBERS!!!1111!!!!
I Bet Jesus Can Break The Record For Most Fans On Face-book!
I'm pretty sure Jesus doesn't care how many fans he has on facebook, nor do I think Jesus cares about breaking a record for most fans on facebook
The previous section is hypocritical because I become a fan of stupid shit all the time, but most of it is along the lines of "I CAN'T FIND MY FAMILY!!!" which is clearly an inside joke.
A list of things that make me angry about facebook in general (which I have probably covered already):
1. Ignorant posts that clog up my feed. I wish I could hide you.
2. People becoming fans of things that have spelling and/or grammar errors in the page title.
3. People becoming fans of stupid things (refer to the list above for examples).
4. People having conversations that leave a million posts in my feed. Listen, I don't know if you've heard, but you can comment on posts that someone else leaves on your wall. Comment on that post to save space and help me keep my sanity.
Now, I realize I could solve all of this by deleting my account and not making another one OR just friending people I know won't annoy me, but most of my ~160 friends are people I went to high school with and would actually like to keep some sort of contact with or people I would just like to keep in contact with in general. I keep my account so every once in a while I can see how they're doing and they can keep up with what I'm doing. Just because I am/was friends with them doesn't mean I want to see everything they post or that I will agree with everything that they post.
Facebook, all I am asking for is an option to hide individual posts in my feed so that I can hide the things that make me rage PLZ. tyfyt.
*note* This list of issues is specific to my feed only. I'm sure other people don't have the same problems, and I want to make it clear that my opinions DO NOT extend to other peoples' feeds, which I am clearly uninformed about. If I have an issue with it, I have an issue with it in my own personal feed, not anyone else's. Also, I would like to make it clear that I understand that people have the right to believe and say whatever they want, and they should be given the freedom to do that. That's why I would like the option to hide it if it bothers me and not just ban people from having certain opinions.
I really hope the disclaimer wasn't needed, but it's there just in case. I hope everyone who actually reads this (aka no one) understands where I'm coming from and what I mean.
lol I will be surprised if anyone reads all of this.
