10 Stupid Things People do on Social Media

Originally posted on 10 Apr 2011, but worth a revisit because these people still exist. 
Discrepancy due to failure to export/import blog

I was trying to share this wonderful page on Yahoo News but seems like they have some broken or invalid linkage, so I thought I might as well just share it with you guys here on my blog too, together with some of my own comments in italics. For the actual article, kindly click here to be redirected. [This link works.] For some additional fun, it is also interesting to find those who did not enjoy the article and got sour. It is highly believed they are guilty of all 10 points. Try to spot that loser who really needs a life.

10 Stupid Things People do on Social Media

By Fazilah Abdul Gaffa for Yahoo! Singapore

1.People who think their every movement should be announced.
We know you're bored whilst sitting on the toilet. But maybe, instead of tweeting about your bowel movements today, as you always do, maybe you should read about what's happening in the world on Yahoo! News for a change. Likewise, we don't need to know how much milk your "hardworking breasts" lactated for your newborn. True story!

My comments: True Story indeed. I might know exactly who. I will write more about this girl at the bottom of this article.

2. People who change their relationship statuses every other week.
Make up your mind - are you single? Are you in a relationship? Is it complicated? It's not too hard

My comments: Just how would that reflect of someone? Whores? Desperate youths trying to get laid? Extremely immature.

3. People who are in a relationship with their BFF
You might think its so kawaii to be in a relationship with your girlfriend, because you are best friend forever- its NOT! Grow up.

My comments: My girlfriend has one such friend who tags to her like a lesbian. I'm neither jealous nor worried, just sharing how irritated my girlfriend is of her.

4. Setup Facebook accounts for your 2-year-old kid, or worse, your dog!
We'd like to see the day your dog gets trained to log on to his own Facebook account.

My comments: I have many friends who do that, I wouldn't but I think its still acceptable; But not for your pets. You may love them like family,  take photos of them and upload on her own page, just don't represent your pets. Instead, teach them to create their own account if you can.

5. Woe is me statuses.
You know those people - ‘my life sucks because my daddy doesn't want to get me a yacht for my birthday' or ‘this is the worse day of my life because my husband cancelled on dinner because he had to work to support my extravagant lifestyle.' Suck it up and stop.

My comments: I absolutely hate this too. Yeah, you have the right to lament in public but only in you are really in deep shit, not over every little minor issue. Girls, we already know you are some bloody spoilt brat looking only to marry money in future. Boys, we already know you are a softie. If you are not a true man, at least act like one. If you are one of those who always goes, FML, FMLTTM or FMLTTM X2, go screw yourself. ┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐

6. Adding People You Don't Know
We're not sure what it is - to up your ‘friends' numbers or to seem like you're friends with the cool kids. When you add somebody, a pop up screen comes on telling you that you should "only send this request if you know him or her personally." How do people miss this disclaimer?

My comments: Some don't have a choice, but most others just want to look more popular, or seem cooler.

7. Write on a Facebook Wall instead of communicating privately
The driving force behind the success of Facebook is...vanity. People love the idea that others are watching what they're doing. But seriously! We don't need to know what names you call your boyfriend and what you're planning to do to him tonight.

My comments: Plain dumb. There is a PM option, doh!

8. Tagging drunken pictures of your friends
Yes, it's funny. But chances are, his boss and his mother are also on Facebook. You don't want to go out for a big one on a weeknight, have to call in sick for work the day after only to have your boss tell you that he's already seen photos of you sh*tfaced crawling in the gutter on Facebook. If you don't want that to happen to you, don't do it to your friends.

My comments: Inevitable sometimes, however, there are people who over-share and abuse the tagging feature. It may be disgusting how some people post and tag you in a photo where you look like crap, but just as long as they look pretty enough. Gotten worse in recent times, where self -centered girls will photoshop their own face to deceptive perfection while you still look like you just came from hell. Can't blame them though, not everyone is smart.

9. Children on Facebook
Facebook bans 20,000 kids from their site everyday, and we're glad this is done. Parents need to be more diligent with policing their children on social media, and they should be educated on social media etiquette in school. Sexual predators are nothing to joke about.

10. Animal Farms and Fish Tanks
I have a job, I don't want to feed virtual sheeps. You need to get off your computer and get a life.

My comments: It's just fun entertainment, as long as you don't get addicted and get all over-zealous spamming all your friends.

Continued from Point number 1:
I have my own true story too, but for all you know, the original author may be referring to the same person. She wrote on Twitter, something like she woke up & found out that her breasts produced so much milk that she wet her whole bed. Whilst some may find it kinky, others may find it inappropriate to post. You don't have to let everyone know how much milk you leaked ok? Raw and unrefined human breast milk kind of smells bad, and to think she wet her bed that much, she must have been waking up smelling like a pig, I mean sow.

I'm not sure about other countries, but amongst the younger generation of Singapore, it seems to have become common for them to all try all sorts of shameless ways to get attention and be popular. There's a saying "Don't wash your dirty linen in public", however, they can really do anything to get noticed, even if its a bad thing they are known for. Well, she got her fair share of attention, or rather the dumb bitch and her lactating tits. I can just tell you, if you follow her on twitter, she's always talking about how proud she is of her breasts.

She also recently made fun of small chested girls on twitter that they had to wear push up bras. Ironically, before she got pregnant, she was one of those girls who took photographs of themselves wearing tight bras or squeezing her arms together to push their boobs up and together, forcing an illusion of a deep cleavage. Once again to show off her current boob size, she posted that she found out that she had always been wearing bras 2-3 sizes smaller. She got really cocky and much more irritating after her pregnancy when her boobs grew significantly. I wonder if she knew her boobs would shrink back significantly too well after her some time. Good luck wearing tight push up bras again.

Depsite being so full of herself and her boobs, She seems to have problems with her husband anwyay, and I can exactly understand how her husband feels; this woman probably shared her boobs with everyone who has internet access.If I had to marry someone with feels no need for privacy for her own breasts, I’d rather marry a Playboy model; at least she’s hotter. Anyway, it was a shotgun marriage, I wouldn't be surprised of a divorce anytime soon.

Having said so much, she really doesn't have that much of big boobs as she proclaims. Trust me, I'm a boob-enthusiast too.
