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.
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.
