What Is Popular Now That Annoys You?

My pet peeve is Facebook.
There are people from my past who completely dropped me like a bad habit after high school.
They got married. Was I ever invited?
They had kids. Was I ever told?
Now they want me to be their friend on Facebook, telling me all about their kids and married life. Where were they all those years? Are they having a good time rubbing it in my face that I am middle-aged and not married yet, poor with a freelancers income?
So, if you want to be a friend, be a real friend... not some fake on Facebook.

You know what annoys me that is 'popular' now?
Vinyl records.
I've always loved them, but now it is considered 'cool' to have a vinyl collection, and all these hipsters and wanna-bes have driven the price up to ridiculous amounts.

@JolietJake THIS. We recently got a used record store in my town (all the old ones closed over 10 years ago because nobody was buying used records back then but a small handful of us, not enough to keep any stores in business) and the prices are outrageous. $50 or more for a used record that's not even in mint condition. Our downtown area is turning into a hipster's paradise, and the prices are nuts.

Facebook annoys me for this reason. All these fake friends from school can't even be bothered to pretend to care about what's going on in my life, so why did they add me on Facebook? Just to show off their own happiness and success? Or to snoop and pass judgement? It's pretty sad when people you only know online are better friends than the people who were actually your friends. My childhood best friend didn't even bother to tell me when she was pregnant, I learned on Facebook because her sister posted it. Some friend.

Yes, facebook 'friends' are not friends. They are people that we know or knew.
