Lame. But I did enjoy the one with the gal getting fired over Facebook.

Also, why do sites like this always block out the names of people? I mean, your facebook profile is obviously public.

I kinda wanted to see if there was any hilarious follow-up to that gal getting fired.

My least favorite is the person that makes a Facebook page for their kid/pet and wants to you be friends with them. No, that's not happening.

Other than that, I think most of my friends and I use FB like normal people. I guess we would be closest to "The Traveler" as we like to post pictures of where we go, but what's weird about that?

I'm 5. The traveler

My niece is 7. The person who ends every status with "text me". Almost every post from her is something like "I'm bored, text me" or "I hate homework, text me"

42 is hilarious.

I don't qualify for any of those.

I log in once a week or two, post a random quote from some long dead person, and then leave.

I don't have a Twitter account because, frankly, I don't care what I'm doing so why would anyone else?

I don't fit any of those, either. I tend to post something silly before I leave for work and then ignore it for most of the day. Or I'll post good links from here. I have 2 friends who are definite #5's (The Traveler), though. Their posts are almost exclusively pictures of places they're at and they're at least awesome shots (one was even contacted by a textbook company to use his shot of Notre Dame). The rest of my friends don't fit in any of those categories, either. They're mostly geeks/book lovers/gamers so their stuff tends to be pretty amusing.

List is missing the crazy political activist, though. They're worse than the Jesus Freaks. I keep a couple around just for the sheer entertainment.

I have a few friends that would be most of those put together. I would delete them but it's just too much fun getting them riled up.

I guess I would be the traveler and guy who always posts a joke or something funny. Glad some of the others have done the same thing. I never really got all the Facebook hate around here.

/ sort of bookmark to send link to a few friends when I get off work. Thanks subby.

A friend of mine made a Facebook page for her toaster and her vacuum cleaner and had them get into arguments on other peoples' pages.

I'd accept that. That's somewhat clever and original.

I hate not being able to respond to the dumb shiat some of my "friends" post. I mean, obviously I could respond, but then they'd unfriend me and I wouldn't be able to see the dumb shiat they post anymore. My favorite posts are the ones full of pseudo-self-actualized bullshiat written by people who I know are complete fark-ups.

I didn't really see me on the list. I generally just use facebook to repost funny shiat I find on the Internet. Stuff I find on fark, reddit, failblog or wherever.

Couple random uestions for the average FB user.

How many hours a week do you browse?
Do you browse because you are bored, or because you actively want to post stuff about yourself that you want eveyone to see?
Has your FB account ever been used in regards to employment (i.e. known of gaining/losing a job)?
Is FB something you use to keep up with friends and family, or something you actively gussy up for appearances?

Ive been told by a prospective employer that me refusing to divulge my FB account looks like I might be trying to hide something. She would not accept that a young person could not have a FB account for some reason and I ended up getting passed over for someone who presumably had a sunshine and roses Facebook profile.

/might create a facebook account finally

An easy (and understandable) reply would be that you keep for FB profile closed because you have a very possessive ex whom you don't want to see your activities - as they have a habit of showing up to the same social events as you. Then you could tell them that you maintain a linkedin profile for professional associations and references.

That's a co-worker of mine, and my oldest son who still uses myspace to go off on his angry rants about religion. It's kind of cute that they think they know so much.

I post science and technology news articles, various jokes and puns that come to me while I'm having a hot shower, and occasionally reiterate my love of Cole Porter songs.

/Because the lyrics to Anything Goes describes facebook perfectly:

"In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking,
But now, God knows,
Anything Goes.

Good authors too who once knew better words,
Now only use four letter words
Writing prose, Anything Goes.

The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today,
And black's white today,
And day's night today,
When most guys today
That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that I'm bound to answer
When you propose,
Anything goes

When grandmama whose age is eighty
In night clubs is getting matey with gigolo's,
Anything Goes."

47. There because of the single sign-on system that seems to be appearing everywhere, who's location is Tycho City and appears to be giving Methuselah a run for his money in number of birthdays.

I have one brand of "friend" that doesn't appear on the list...

The girls that only post on facebook when they're single... always some lame bullsh*t about how strong they are and they're worth it and blah blah blah. They're basically just killing time until they find a new man.

Yes, I enjoy f*cking with them. When they say something stupid like: "It's times like this that make me stronger!!", I usually respond with something like: "Don't worry, you'll find a new man soon enough and won't have to post on fb." The really stupid ones won't get the sarcasm and will say thanks or something.

He followed me in music, history, science, tech, art, hookah, video games, and my love of the counter culture . The religion thing he went on his own. As it should be.

/He still asks a lot of questions, so that's good.

They forgot the person who only posts motivational quotes and never has anything else to say. You can only read so many vacantly unmotivating quotes from people you've never heard of before you just block the person entirely, which is what I do

Yeah, pretty much all of these people are why I don't like FaceBook. I DID like a few of these though...

1. The chick who lost her job, I agree, that was some funny shiat.

2. The Jesus freak who kept posting the FB version of 'Honk if you love Jeebus', and didn't get any replies.

3. The dipshiat posing with all his booze(And a bottle of Windex).

4. The autocorrect one. THAT is awesome!

5. The 'fake people' exchange...

Those at least made going through the list fun.
