What annoys you about facebook?

Facebook has a lot of users, especially Filipinos. I, for one, check my account regularly. But lately, I get annoyed at some users who are so bored with their lives they don't know what to do. Here are some things that annoy me: 1. Endless game requests - It's okay to play games. It's one thing to relieve yourself from stress. But I get stressed at people who send me game requests even if I deleted it many times. 2. Changes name every week - what's the big idea? This isn't a relationship status. It's a name. I kept looking for this friend of mine in my friend's list and it took me forever because she just kept changing her name. 3. Over sharing - Yes, it's okay to share what happened once in a while but I don't really like to know what happened to your life every five minutes. what about you? do you get annoyed at some facebook users too? share some of your stories. :)

I seldom open my facebook account and i usually do it only to check the latest news from my friends. Nothing in particular annoys me on facebook. I only recall one instance when a former office mate posted an old group picture and one of those in the picture posted a comment intended to be a joke but i found it offensive.

hello there, although some people hate the timeline, I found it very useful especially if I'm trying to look at the time on which status my friends are talking about. And you can do so many things in the application.

Personally the game requests can get old, and am Glad there is a way to block some of these requests if they are games I am not interested in. Also another thing is why do they share about a fight they just got in with you, especially if you are friends in Facebook letting the whole world know? Or telling everything about what they just did, who they did it with, etc. Come on do they not have a life? I personally enjoy Facebook to some extent but there are times you read the stuff and go WHAT? I know myself anything personal I share I would rather share it with someone I am close with or talk about things here than posting them on Facebook.

I also get annoyed with game requests. I don't usually play games, and unless it can generate income, it's pretty much a waste of time. I just block those requests from my account completely, and if ever I receive new requests, I block those, too. I haven't run into people who change their name often, but it must be such a task because I tried changing my name, and Facebook wouldn't approve of it. I had to stick with what I have. I don't have friends that share whatever happens in their lives every five minutes, but I do have a friend on FB that shares her picture everyday. Usually 9 webcam shots of different poses, and she seems to do it every morning. Thank goodness I've got tons of friends, and by lunchtime, when I usually log in, whatever post she's made is buried deep under everything else! But seriously, if people keep doing this, they're better off blogging or using twitter instead. It's sometimes tiring to just keep trolling Facebook trying to see what everyone else is up to; another waste of time and electricity.

It is really annoying. I get games requests more than 10 times a day! I don't even play fb games. I want to put "Stop sending game requests pls!" on my wall.

Well, for me the most annoying thins in the facebook are: 1. When the friends upload nonsense photo and tag my name in it!!! 2. When they comment nonsense on my photos. 3. When no one is online. 4. When my friends use very irritating apps and share it./

Nice topic Barbie.Why? Because lately I have been so pissed off with facebook users who post the pictures of of every new item they buy on facebook!I could not express my thoughts to anyone because they might think I am "naiingit" (jealous)Few weeks ago, I saw a friend of a friend who posted a picture of her new Rolex watch with caption "Thank ,Lord for this new Gift. I never expected this,Lord for this new Gift. I never expected this " wtf!!Then few days after,I saw someone posted a picture her new pair of Tom's. I bet no one would post a new pair of advan or Islander slippers lols.

I don't like receiving game's invitations. I guess a lot of my friends play games but I don't play any game for the last two years I guess. I don't like people boasting their riches or their jobs, etc. I don't like people sharing their complaints in Facebook. If they have complaints, they should tell the concerned people. Happy myLotting.

There are something in faecbook which annoys me too. I am not much fond of games nowadays and I don't want to receive those kind of game requests from my friends. I tell my friends not to send anymore game requests to me. Also I will be get upset if I find out any bad activity from my friends .

haha! yes! The first 2 mentioned above are the same things I hate in FB. Game requests..I really don't play games in FB. And yeah, some people keep on changing names, creating new accounts and will send you friend requests again and again. I can tolerate sharing 'coz I don't read them anyway. Guess we can't help them :(

Yes I get so annoyed with some of the facebook users. 1. People who make status about the problems in their own family. Like when she and her husband had a fight, I really get annoyed to read some of this. It is so shameful that you want the world to know all the flaws inside your family. 2. People who always change their birthdate. I have a friend before and I always see him on the side of my home to see that it's his birthday again and again. He's so pathetic. 3. People who act like a social climber. It is base on their status and pictures they post. Why do they to post if they on a mall like this, and a picture of starbucks, who cares by the way? and so what if your rich? 4. People who created facebook accounts for theirs pets. Such a stupid idea.

What annoys me is when I see people changing their Relationship Staues every 5 minutes. Yes, I'm sorry about your breakup but why are you back In a Relationship again the next day?

I have nothing to say against facebook.Before I do not like facebook as I have found out that it is made for teenagers only,yet when I discovered my long lost friends are all there to chat,my former hatred towards the website fades away because I find it a very friendly website.Now I visit the site every now and then just to have a new chat or news from my friends.

what really annoys me with.facebook is the constant tagging of online sellers. It is okay to be tagged once .but to be tagged with all new uploads?that is too much!

What annoyed me now in facebook are those non stop and everyday games request and notifications from my friends who are playing those certain games. I dont play facebook games now and focus on some things.I am not against them about those games that they played but I just dont want to be included in those game notifications everyday.

I hate the constant game request, the name changes, the uploading of stupid pictures or articles and the over sharing. Facebook is good to catchup with old friends but after a while it gets boring.

I have nothing to say about the facebook at first i was annoyed with all the update and changes after wards i adjust my self, rather I discourage about the people who used with it. Even their feelings or their emotions can express through shout out in the wall and not noticing that it was in public and I think most of the people want to get attention with them.
