In this thread, Senusret I complains about bad grammar in facebook status updates

[agzg]

A problem I'm noticing lately is not so much that people have overshare in their own posts, but commenters on their posts have overshare. Like, seriously, I get that you guys are married, and I get that you guys are having a baby, but I don't need to know that "facebook friend's" wife is taking 20 bathroom breaks a day, because their son thinks her bladder is a punching bag.

Especially since I don't even KNOW facebook friend's wife because the only reason he's on my facebook at all is because he was dating one of my sisters when I added him.

YES.

Example: (I know I'm always using baby-related TMI but really, most of the TMI I read involves kids)

Friend is 40 weeks and tired of being pregnant!

That's pretty normal, right? Nothing TMI about that.

Random Comment: You and ____ should have lots of sex. That's what I did when I got tired of being pregnant. You'll be in labor in no time!

Friend: Holy overshare, batman!

Win.

I might post a status about the man who smelled like pee on the train today, but I can only think of a few images I'd want in my mind less than a baby using a bladder for a punching bag.

Who are these people, and why are you guys friends with them? Ever since I removed my psycho ex-co-worker, my Facebook Friends List has been downright delightful.

I also keep my friends limited to people I actually know and like, so that might have something to do with it.

Had I known that sister's ex boyfriend's new wife would be posting about bladder punching bags, I wouldn't have added him many moons ago.

Actually, I just need to purge my friends list of people I haven't talked to since college. Facebook came out for my school when I was a junior or senior, so we tended to add everyone in our excitement.

ETA: I usually hide the people that are annoying (after bitching about them here) - but I can't control other commentors on my facebook friends' statuses.

Yeah, I'm pretty picky about who I add and don't add. I have ignored chapter sisters multiple times. I also have no problem deleting people or hiding others. Only recently did I add family members (other than my sister). Call me a snob, but I'm not complaining on this thread!
