Most Annoying Friend

[1100011CS]

I have a good buddy on mine on FB. We ran cross country together at Simpson. He does a lot of triathlons and all his posts are about his training. "Bike xx miles today with the wind." "Ran xx miles today in xx.xx time. I feel great" "I had a double training session today with so and so and it was epic. Here are my times."

It gets annoying so fast. And when we meet up in person then I have to listen to him tell me all about it. It has driven a wedge in the friendship.

When I first started running the tracking app I used would post every run on FB and Twitter and I didn't even realize it for a long time. My sister-in-law finally commented on it and I realized how annoying that would be so figured out how to stop it. But, I do like to see some updates of other runners/bikers just not every single workout.

I don't have any friends. If I did I'm sure I'm the annoying friend by simply existing.

I just have one that has to win an argument like no matter what. He has to be right. He'll bring in some bull **** technicality out of left field. It pisses me off to no end.

Almost as bad is the 'one-upper'. No matter what story/experience you tell they have one that is a little better.

FIFY

Well the post coitus weeping would take an hour or so.

20 posts for the first non-Facebook related answer. Another reminder why I have never created a Facebook profile.

HEY, my post was about someone at work.


She's annoying on facebook too though.

I have a friend who does CrossFit. Pretty much all she posts about.

My roommate is a strongman competitor his view on crossfit "they do exercises half-right, really fast."

Yeah that's what I've heard. All of the videos I've seen of it makes it look like they are going to injure themselves on every exercise.

I created a fake facebook account just to play a couple of games and nothing else. I friended a bunch of people who also play some of those games, and for some reason 2 of them keep sending me messages about random stuff although I never even spoke to them on the site or in person. I do not give a **** that your cats had kittens, and I don't want to buy one. I also had an issue on Bleacher Report where 2 random girls(who may be 1 person, IDK) popped up and started trying to find online boyfriends. If you ignored them or told them to go away they would freak out and try to get you banned from the site. So freaking annoying. They weren't technically friends of mine, but damn, some people.

The worst on FB are the ones that post a status that is vague. Something along the lines of 'please send thoughts and prayers today for a friend' or 'XX is feeling sad'. That is flat out begging people to comment asking what happened, who to, etc. Give all the info possible and don't post looking for sympathy comments. Bugs the crap out of me.

Yeah, vaguebooking. We get it, they're looking for attention but not wanting to ask directly. Got it.

I'm probably annoying to some people on Facebook. My least favorite are the people who feel a need to post about something politically related a couple times a day. They can't just post a link either, they tend to post the link, with a paragraph or two explaining whatever it may be.

If you are sitting there thinking "I don't have any friends like that." Guess what? YOU are that friend.

One thing my wife does is she tags me in every picture she takes and uploads of our boys. So all the friends I have on FB see pictures of my kids constantly. Some of them have told me it is getting old, which I agree with.

The kid thing is a hard line to walk for a mom - I will not post photos for a few weeks, and then get told by out-of-state friends/relatives that they miss seeing photos of our child, so then I go through a little flurry. Rinse and repeat. You try NOT to post a ton of photos out of respect for some, and then you get bombarded with requests from others. Sort of a no-win!

Facebook status: "Poor Barry. My heart is broken."

Me: "Who's Barry? You're boyfriend? Just a friend? Is he ok? Is it something with his family? Did you guys break up? Is he moving? Did he get fired? Did his car break down? Something happen to his cat?"

Facebooker: "Oh no, he's my favorite character on Storage Wars and he made a bad bid"

Pretty much all of my friend from college have kids so 90% of my Facebook is pics of their kids. A good chunk of what I post is my kids too. So that doesn't really annoy me.


Then there's this guy who posts about his ferrets. What a weirdo.

Friend on FB: I love my life, everything is so awesome, such great family and friends

Friend in real life: i can't stop complaining about everything everywhere

I like seeing pictures of kids. If they came from people I like, at least. One "friend" (that's using the term VERY loosely since we only knew each other casually and haven't talked in years) posts the craziest things that her kids say. I love reading her statuses and seeing what her kids are up to even though I don't know them. Now if you're posting pictures of your kids' diapers or other gross things yeah, that's annoying. But cute smiley pictures and funny comments? Bring them on!

I'm the opposite. Real life I like, social media is where I go to complain about stuff that's really not a big deal.

That's where I'm at, too - I will post crazy stuff our daughter says and photos of the like. But nobody needs to know if she had a pee accident or something, shoot, I don't even want to know that. It also (and maybe I'm just overly wary of predators) creeps me out when people post photos of their kids nude. I just keep thinking, "Man, you just can't know who is actually seeing this." For all the parent knows, someone on their list downloaded the photo and is posting it in a child porn ring or something.

Yeah I agree with you there. I think she is going to just tag those individuals that want to see the pictures and not tag me in every single one. We share a Flickr account so they all get uploaded to our account anyway.
