10 Things I Hate About Facebook
Written on January 15, 2010 by Imran Mirza
Well, hate is not really the word, but I find them really annoying. They aren’t in order, I couldn’t make up my mind.
1) Copy/pasted quotations - I see at least 10 of them daily. Right from the utterly philosophical to the mushy ones, you’ll find them all. Rarely you’ll see the credits. I mean, come on! The world wouldn’t be a better place with your daily gyaan.
2) Farmville – Facebook developers should come up with some auto block app for all Farmville invites. “Fertilize my crops” (by clicking on this button). Really!? Why don’t you Farmville some more and help ease the inflation in food prices?
3) Astrology / Predictions – You would die in year 2xxx, You would be murdered, You would earn a lottery, blah blah. Half of the people in my list have been / would be murdered and the rest of them would win a lottery!
4) People liking their own status updates/links – It can imply only two things: 1) They did it by mistake. 2) They know that no one else would like it.
5) Colour of underwear – This one was quite a hit. I wonder how many actually got a mammograph done. It did help some underwear companies to know the most popular colours and some guys who always had to do with only imagination or sneak peeks.
6) Show off updates –
A- Stuck on the immigration counter since 2 hours…
B - Oh that’s bad! Where you off to?
A - I was just heading to Hawaii
7) Mob Wars – No I do not want to join and kill people for you and don’t send me any invites! I have no intention of becoming a click n shoot gangster.
8 ) Tagging photos without consent – If I want that pic on Facebook, I’d upload it myself.
9) Stupid Applications – What’s your stripper name?, What type of a sea shell are you? How deeply insightful! I never knew these quizzes can help me know myself so much better.
10) Click Here to Find Out – Someone has answered a really revealing question about you! Is it? Then why don’t you reveal it without making me click and invite 20 people to use the application.

Awesomeeeeeeeee…….. true… well said.. I guess you studied some guy from our office ( guinea pig)..
So True!!!…My top three favorite ones/hated ones are:
1. Status updates like: I am going to sleep! I am angry! I am bored! (God!!! how self obsessed, attention seeking could u get!)
2. Application invitations: Thank god for the “ignore all” option. People claim to be so tied up with work but somehow still find time to Farm, feed virtual pets, arrange for assassinations..Wonder what’s next.
3. Public forum fights/breakups: Seriously guys what the hell happened to good old privacy and self respect!!
Hilarious…. More posts like these…wanted
very well said….It’s very very true..If you are updating your FB status 50-100 times a day with……Going 4 Lectures, i luv ice cream/chocholates, ^^^^^^^^, (((((((((, >>>>>>>>>>>>,
