That just seems like it takes so much effort.

That's what I told my cousin...that it takes more effort to do all of that than to spell it out properly.

Translation for those who have a hard time like I do when I'm trying to figure out what is being said: I HATE it when people write their messages and use numbers instead of letters.

along with writing with letters is aLtErNaTiNg CAPS eVeRy OtHeR lEtTeR

I've been listening to my music at full blast (literally) and have been fine.

I read those two lines of text and got a slight headache.

I seriously could not figure out where to post these, so I picked this thread!

Blogs dedicated to annoying TMI Facebook statuses:

http://stfuparents.tumblr.com/ (for parental TMI)

http://stfumarrieds.tumblr.com/ (and marital TMI)

Favorite:

Random Facebook User: is why can't I ask my husband to make me a sundae without being hassled for sex? I just wanted to wallow in my fatness and go to bed :(

Hilarious.

At this point, Facebook is more entertaining than the BET Awards. The status updates are KILLING me. Everyone is critiquing as a single FB entity.

I came across this a couple days ago.
Overdramatic Girl from my High School: Can't believe that Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett both died today, how could they do this to MEEEEEEEE????!!!!???!!!!

I just logged into facebook and saw this!!!!

______ Okay this question has been on my mind for months now.....were I work at we have prostitutes(11th and K)..they work from 12am until 7am...I wonder do prostitutes get lunch/dinner breaks...just wondering!!!!!

They don't get much crazier than that :p

"Lmmfao..Damn me 2 cuz thats fuccd up!"
"First Cool Dwn, Get Sumthing 2 Eat, Then Find A Boo 2 Beat!! lol2times.... Dat Should Solve Ya Problem My Baby"

Parents:

Every single thing that your kid does DOES NOT REQUIRE A STATUS UPDATE.

Does the entire world need to know that Mommy With No Life "is cleaning up monster chunky vomit from Katie's stomach flu?"

Probably not.

I thought those were the worst updates ever. Until the girl whose every (and I do mean EVERY) update is about what she needs to trade for or shoot at or whatever in Mafia Wars. At least the children are actual living beings.

LOL

I had to avoid making too-saucy comments on a (divorced) college friend's page, because his DAUGHTER is on his friends list. Honestly, I think this situation has far more embarassment potential for the parents.

OMG.

Those are right up there with parental and marital TMI.

Everything that happens in SORORITY LIFE does not need to be your status.

Example: Annoying Girl is "OMG so I like neeeeed some more brownie points!! Help me!!"

Confession: Guilty. Well, somewhat guilty.

I don't think I have ever posted anything to do with my children's bodily fluids. And I do try to make sure that updates that do with my children comprise less than half of all updates, and when I do post something I aim to make it witty/funny.

The thing is- for 10 years I was uber career woman, and for the past 2 I have been home with now 2 tiny kiddos. Three years ago I would have posted exactly what you did. But now, whether fortunately (that I am able to stay home with my children) or unfortunately (it has meant a significant reduction in adult contact), my day is spent dealing with babies/toddlers and the issues that go with that. I *hope* that the lack of adult contact/professional career hasn't resulted in loss of so many brain cells that I forget that others don't necessarily want to know every single detail of my day. Trust me- I am very cognizant that they don't.

On the plus side- I have never, and I repeat never, posted the result to some lame-o "What does you foot size say about you" or a "If you were a rodent, what type of rodent would you be?" type quiz. Come to think of it, I don't think I have even taken any of those dumb quizzes.

Does that earn me a tiny bit of redemption for the occasional non-gross bambino status update?
