Top 10 Facebook Friends Turn off

n0 matter what the reason is, deleting that FBF from list or hiding his/her updates from the news feed is not an option:

1) he/she is more than virtual

2) you are within the same circle of friends

3) he/she hasn’t offended you intentionally in any way though (just annoying you)

4) it will be too harsh, rude, immature, start conflict, etc… etc….

… and most of all, the world does not revolve around your selfish whims, so the law of existence and manners requires you to coexist.   

I can tolerate occasional selfies or even the proud mommies, food is fine (as long as interesting and appetizing) but constant updaters as below, steer me away from the news feeds:

10)  The Grammar Murderer. YES it is a crime to mislead your friends, confuse them and give them headache staring at your jumbled alphabet all in one post.  There are forgivable lapses that still send your message across but if your rants, drama, food porn or photo caption leave us muddled, you are not giving our FB friendship justice. And you're doing it hourly.

9)     The Copy Cat ...says arf! arf! Enuff said.

8)     The Bad News Bearer / Bubble Burst-er. The news is already headlined with crimes, calamity, terrorism, wars (try Middle East papers or channels), etc… etc… so if you can help, please refrain from ranting how ugly the day seems or your life is.  Just pm your close friends.

7)     The Athlete …who sends so many game requests and updates. Okay, I want you deleted.

6)    The Online Diary Keeper. Dear FBF, If we are not your mom, your sister, your BFF, your immediate superior, stalker or the priest or your life coach, we need not the tiniest details of your day or your reaction to everything. We cannot promise to love you unconditionally and chances are your will irritate us or prompt us to gossip.

5)    The Preacher/The Righteous. The news feed is not a pulpit especially if you are the only one doing right things and everybody else is doing wrong.

4)     The Trigger Happy / Gullible …who shares everything even the hoax, those showing support, prayer or respect by sharing images of those suffering from sickness and gruesome pics… please share wisely.

3)     The Beauty Queen / The Weight Watcher. Please wait for us to acknowledge that you are beautiful in our eyes, no need to put in the caption and we don’t need the update in the kilos lost, we don’t swap clothes.  

2)      The Seller …no need to tag us of your latest collection especially those described ‘plus size’ or ‘Class A imitation’. Be sensitive.

NOTE: The Sellers include those who regularly post what they have shopped recently, the effect is the same.  

1)      The War Freak. Please keep the list of your enemies, frenemies or rivalry with you including the reason. Blind item also included. You are not giving the person a fair trial and it just defines you more than your enemy.

Blocked-listed - Top 10 Reasons You Are Blocked in FB

You’re now an Ex-Facebook Friend (ExFBF).  Top 10 Reasons why!

#1 He is completely unaware – maybe his account is hacked or is now 'conjugal' and she wants you blocked. Move on sister.

If you’re a He, choose from reasons 2 and 3.

#2 You recently broke up – and either your Ex is too hurt, too guilty or is hiding something.

 

#3 *Your ExFBF deactivated her account. Same effect, you cannot peep on her dinner updates. Sniff! Sniff!! But if you found out from common friends her daily check-ins are in the news feed, scroll other 8 other probable reasons below. Good luck!

#4 Accepting your friend request was wrong in the first place. He/she is just making it right this time. Puhlezz set him/her free.

#5 You’re stalking the person. It is creepy as much as it is annoying and you deserve the 'blocked' list.

#6 *The right to privacy and the right to choose friends – she is just practicing both. You also have the right to get mad or feel bad but there’s nothing you can do about it.

#7 He or she is too hurt.

#8 Life is better off without you and your updates.  It's harsh but... (deep breath, shrugging shoulders)...

#9 You’re not really friends. And he/she wants his/her innermost thoughts, feelings for the day, worries, realizations, activities, pictures of her favourite pets, likes and etc… to be amongst those he/she is happy to share them with.    

#10 You’re an ugly past – or an ugly truth. Everyone deserves to live a happy and peaceful life so is your ex-FB friend. If he or she wants to move on and what you keep on dragging is ugliness, you will be 'unfriend-ed' or 'blocked-listed'.   

• she/her is replaceable with he/his

#11 will be: you are related to the Ex, or closer to the Ex, wherein you wouldn't care.

The same applies to suddenly finding out you were 'unfriend-ed'  (oh! what a word). But on a lighter note, if you cannot control what you post or what you like, share or comments, at least you can control who knows what you do. 

  

Whatever, the bottom line is the person doesn't want to be reminded of you. Who knows, she's doing you both a favour.
