In regards to all of those freaking, ridiculous, chain-letter-like status updates that EVERYONE freaking posts on Facebook…
Okay, it’s definitely not the end of the world, but it seems to be…pointless. And it’s getting annoying.
Example: “Repost this if you love your mom/dad/bf/gf/cat/dog/hamster/pants more than anything in this world! Your *insert noun* means the most to you, and you’re not afraid to show it! If you don’t repost, you’re a worthless piece of crap and you should feel guilty for being such an a-hole.”
Not going to lie, I’ve sometimes felt bad for not re-posting those things, and I have no idea why! I know declaring my love for my mom, my sister and/or my pants on Facebook doesn’t make me a better person, but I still felt bad for not being like everyone else. Is there anyone out there who actually judges other people on Facebook if they do NOT post one of those Declarations of Affection? I didn’t think so.
Maybe I could start re-posting everyone else’s random status updates as Declarations of Acknowledgment. Suzie’s status update of “Suzie is going to the movies tonight!” could become MY new update: “Missy sees that Suzie is going to the movies tonight!”
Stupid? Yes. But hey, it’s a new way of spreading the FB love. It’s still copying and pasting someone else’s ideas, BUT it’s proving that you’re paying attention to and reading random people’s status updates…instead of just saying “Oh, I don’t want people to think I don’t love my mom! *copy, paste, update*
By the way, I really do love my pants.
I was just going to say that I really really love a great pair of pants! I have had 3 great pair over my life time!
But that really does piss me off too! they try and get you personally… which is why i never do them anymore because they are stupid! And i hate the texts! Cause now they are costing me important texts and money! Obama may try and text me and oh look he can’t cause im out of texts!
Very good point! I think we should bring back the actual handwritten chain letter thing. If you REALLY want to declare something or spread the word, at least put some frickin effort into it!
I hate my pants. Otherwise, I would copy and repost your love of pants on my blog.
