Former Friend just answered the question ‘Do you think Gillian Gunson is selfish?’ about you. Click here to see more.
First of all: Fuck you, Former Friend. If you care so much that I’m selfish to the point that you’re filling out stupid Facebook quizzes over this, perhaps you could just just tell me how you feel directly. Or, if you wanted to let me know that you didn’t find me selfish, you could’ve just saved yourself the effort. I would have just assumed that, had I put any thought into it at all, which I didn’t.
I hate these Facebook apps. They just suck. Thank God for the “Hide” button (or, in cases such as this, the “Remove From Friends” link). I don’t care how good you are at Bedazzled, or which 70s TV star you’d be if its 20 bullshit questions had any actual basis in reality. Or how much you’d pay for me to be your prize pig on your imaginary farm or something. If you know me at all, do you really see me playing along with your delusions?
Just so you know, I don’t unfriend people because of one stupid online faux pas. It usually takes about 5 and a disregarded warning for me to consider the person not worth my time. Maybe this makes me come across as a bit tight-assed over the whole thing, but I am thinking about the other person too: they deserve better than to have a supposed friend see them as a complete dick with no internet manners nor a general sense of when to STFU. Just sayin’.
I hate those apps too. Fortunately, most of the people on my friends list have lost interest in them and those quizzes in my feed have pretty much disappeared.
Fear not, as soon as Facebook Lite (http://bit.ly/1TRi6U) comes to Canada, you can have the same banal friend news, but with 100% less apps.
god. i haven’t been on facebook in like 6 months. people still use it?
and, yes, i ALWAYS ignore those pesky apps that friends invite you to.
and, finally, i don’t think you’re tight-assed.
One of my answers to the Religion question on my Facebook profile is “Anti-Facebook-app-ist.”
Sometimes I REALLY wonder what the hell is wrong with people! And to put it on Facebook?!? WTF?!?
Glad to hear you took a stand and unfriended them. Life it too short for that sort of bullshit.
Wait, are they local? Do you need me to go bust down some doors? I’ll do it. I swear! Somebody hold me back!
Those quiz apps tend to employ questionable tactics in order to grow traffic. It’s very possible that your “former friend” didn’t actually answer that question, but the app is trying to make you think they did in order to get you riled up, and have you visit the app.
And the prize pig comment was delicious.
@Chrissy Don’t worry, the person wasn’t local, and he was bothering me on Facebook in non-app ways enough that this was just an excuse to pull the plug completely. Though I bet you could’ve beaten him up real good.
@Garth I think I did read something pig-related that was sent to me, though perhaps I am fooling myself into thinking a friend would have me as their prize hog.
I am constantly annoyed by my friends and the facebook apps. They never converse or add to any subject just a crack addict like obsession with “Mafia Wars”, “Yoville” and anything else that keeps them from being social on social media. Maybe that is why i cannot get them on twitter. Kimli is one of the few people who actually says something and it is most often amusing.
