an ex-boyfriend's status just now:

Vacation.... Where too, and when..

:rolleyes:Really? Where also??

BetteDavisEyes 08-23-2011 11:50 PM

Oh joy. More status updates from a soon to be family member (aka nephew's baby mama).

"i cant believe how agressive is my daughter ! she bet up her tia amiee for trying to take her toy ... wow im really suprised where she learn this behavier .. because i sure hvent tought her.. my mother says that she sure is my daughter ."

"Having a grate day at school ! All my instructres are funny !this is going to be a good semester"

"I'm feeling like I'm not going to tolerate nothing no more !"

NOTE: This genius is starting her first year in college. Alas, she asked me to help her with her first paper due next week. My head is going to explode from the bad spelling, grammar errors, horrible language and her overuse of slang in her writing. *headdesk*

This bit of FB effery courtesy of...surprise! A dumb-ass cousin (but not from the dumb-ass side):

I just read that President Obama came back "1 day" earlier from his summer vacation because of Hurricane Irene....ummm I love you and all O but I'm sorry the President should not be able to take vacations!....Lol I'm just saying.....America is *#*!ed up..we need you working everyday..all of u over there in Washington....doing what ever it is that yaw say you are doing!!! No summers no Weekends..no nothing!!! Lol

Does she realize that even when Obama's on vacation, he's working? Probably not, because they don't teach you that in Online College when you've been going for the past 15 years.

People who post that probably know jack shit about why the "Under God" is in the pledge in the first place and when it was put in there.

My aunt posted one that made me giggle, so I had to repost:

Please copy & paste this to your status if you are constantly being asked to copy & paste something to your status by friends who copy & paste things to their status. Many people won't copy & paste this but my true friends will copy & paste it because you know this was copied & pasted from a dear friend in need of more crap to copy & paste.

I'm a dweeb, I know :)

Their alarms wake them up, my alarms send me to cover. They make plans based on how they feel, I do as the schedule that was put out to me demands. They can't wait to leave their homes, I can't wait to get back. But when we look back on our respective lives, they'll like theirs, I'll be damn proud of mine.. -Repost if your Active duty-

LOL it had bad grammar after all.

Anyway, I thought it was annoying and somewhat self-aggrandizing.

Not to mention I don't know any member of the military who would post that treacle.

Munchkin03 09-27-2011 10:18 AM

Cousins! If it weren't for all the dumb-ass cousins I have on one side of the family, my FB page would have no effery whatsoever.

One cousin (who's just returned from government-sanctioned vacation) was discussing relationships:

D-AC:Why are women so complicated?
Friend: Men are just as complicated.
D-AC: You got me there, toshay.

Toshay=touche. Or maybe someone's name? :confused:

And then another cousin (same side) is talking about hunting and listening to Kid Rock. Did Malcolm X die for this effery?

Not bad grammar but rather the best FB status evaaaaarrr:

"Facebook will begin stealing your undergarments at midnight tonight if you don't copy & paste this message in the next 37 seconds, forward it to everyone in your mailing list, print a hard copy for your grandmother & call your third grade teacher. This is real. I got the message first hand from Elvis who was having lunch with Bigfoot, while riding the Loch Ness monster. It was even on the inside back cover of every tabloid in the grocery store checkout line. Not only will Facebook start charging you tomorrow, they are also going to bill your credit card for the past 3 years of services. Luckily, each person who copies & pastes this status will receive a FREE unicorn in the mail tomorrow. However, if you don't repost this status, Facebook code has been set up to automatically set your computer on fire & harm an innocent bunny in the forest! It's all true, it was on the news! It's official! Facebook users will believe anything their friends copy & paste into their status (Don't forget the hearts. All true copy and paste gotta have hearts. ♥"

Just posted this as my FB status. ;)

AXEling 09-27-2011 08:02 PM

Gem of the day: "so wat if i smoke pot and drink im in college do u really expect me to read all the time?"

On the other hand this bit isn't bad grammar, but just as annoying...

Various people have been posting the whole "Facebook is going to charge you money if you don't repost this". A few have countered by changing their profile pictures to this:

HAHAHAHAHA! So posting this as my Facebook status. :D


Here's another grammar gem from my relative: "omg im starting to feel the pressure of college. im wroking a paragraph that is taking me hours just because my professer is so picky! image when i have to write 10pg essays ... i am going to go insane !"

33girl 11-11-2011 11:04 PM

OK, not bad grammar, but many GCers will read this and laugh.

A girl from my HS (not a friend but we have mutual friends) posted about her new van that immediately died as she was driving it home, and then went on to talk about how her life is a mess, she's divorced & lives in BFE & still works for her dad, yadda yadda. One of our mutual friends (after everyone else wrote hang in there, etc) then says "let me introduce you to Arbonne! call me." I thought I was going to shit. I honestly think she was being serious. REACH THE ARBONNE!!!

southernbelle14 11-12-2011 11:32 AM

Saw this thread and just had to post in it...
There are some girls I am Facebook friends with who like to start drama on facebook. And they are IN COLLEGE. They are friends with the girls they have issues with then post statuses complaining about the aforementioned girl then get in a verbal war with them on the status! It's so ridiculous.

Munchkin03 12-14-2011 10:53 AM

BUMP!

One of my cousin's best friends just posted,

"How many golds is too much for women?"

Most of the women said one was too many. :D

Unfortunately, I am related to this atrocity:

One of my cousins called her 2-year old daughter a "heffa" because she's sick. Good parenting for the win! :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Surprise surprise, this kid's name is Nevaeh. I didn't even know that real people named their kids that. :(

I don't think there's really all that much difference between naming your kid Nevaeh versus, say, naming your kid after Cal Ripken or something equally stereotypically middle-class.

(Note: I'm ignoring possible social implications of naming conventions down the road - speaking just in terms of the parent's motivation)

tinydancer 01-13-2012 04:53 PM

I've been reading this thread, trying to figure out what folks are trying to say. Now my brain hurts.

SydneyK 01-19-2012 10:06 AM

Not bad grammar, just not acceptable (imo):
If you can't keep your marital problems out of your FB posts (and, if you and your spouse can't refrain from FB-bickering about said problems), it's time to give up FB until it's all taken care of. There's no need to air your dirty laundry like that!!

I'm about -->thisclose<-- to deleting my FB page.

I know 3 Nevaehs (all under 18 months), including a cousin.

Not bad grammar, just plain stupidity:

High School Classmate: Ummm really Rick Santorum, REALLY?? You want to ban tampons by 2013 because you think it promotes sexual behavior? REALLY?? People like this make me sick.
Dumbass Friend: Wtf?!
Rightfully Skeptical Friend: this must be a joke
High School Classmate: http://bonosrama.newsvine.com/_news/...exual-behavior. Its disgusting.
Smart Friend: Written by a blogger on a half-bit news site; not everything you read is true.
Me: In the comments section, posted by the author when someone asked if this is real: "it might only be satire now, but you never know..."
High School Classmate: Yeah but I wouldn't put it past him! Lol
High School Classmate: Oh well. Lol.

I think the "Oh well" came after she finally read the full article instead of the title, and realized how painfully obvious it was that it's not real. :rolleyes:
