TTPYO:

"Hit Like if you wished Cancer didn't exist"

Now what is the f**king point of that?
What will be gleaned from this particular survey?

Has it got the point where we all feel so self-important that we believe our "opinion' is going to cure cancer?

It truly beggars belief.

Don't be silly...it only counts if you paste it into your own status for other people to repaste...but only if they know someone, or know someone who knows someone else who's actually had cancer, died (of anything), had a baby, hasn't had a baby, loves their daughter/son/mum/dad/grandad/nan/randomer, hates murder, is a murderer, has a head, doesn't have a head, has no life, has no life and...um...has no life. BUT...only 1% of each 'friends' list will repost...and the others...well...'you know who you are'.

That drives me mad too!

"Like this status if you want to end child abuse"
"Click like if you care about tsunami victims"
"If you are the type of person who actually cares about children dying then copy and paste this to your status"

Why? So I can feel like I've done something helpful without having to even leave facebook?

Yep, amazing how we can all help these poor people with just a few clicks from a mouse or a tap on our phone. Who wants to actually donate or go and help personally? That's just ridiculous...especially when there are so many caring people on FB cutting and pasting 24/7 to save the world.

The "Only 1% of people will bother to repost this" really gets me - oh no! I can't be one of the 99% who don't care about breast cancer! I must repost this to show that I'm not an arsehole!

Other facebook pet peeve is those vomit-inducing statuses that go something like

"A girl asked her boyfriend if he liked her, he said no
she asked if he thought she was pretty, he said no
she asked if he would be upset is she left him, he said no
she started to cry when he took her hands and said
'I don't like you, I love you. I don't think you're pretty, I think you're beautiful. If you left me I would die. Please stay with me.'

Post this status to someone you love and send it back to the person who sent it to you if you love them"

Most quotes I have seen for professional teeth whitening have been around the 400 quid mark. What did he do - swill them in persil?

Anyway, unless you are a chain-smoking betel nut addict you are far too young to need your teeth whitening.

It was meant to be £400 - it was a deal voucher thing. Anyone who pays £400 for that though deserves a slap. I deserve a slap for paying £70!!

I did a sick.

Nawww...it's got to be those touching picture quotes. Now, what with all this easy-to-use drawing software, anyone can type anything they want and make it look like someone else has done it and they've just posted it. I used to like them. Now people are just typing in what's pissed them off that morning or in general. Instead of 'Be grateful for what you have...blah blah', we now have "If you mess with my husband, I'll just kill you" and "People should mind their own business and stay out of mine before I put their windows in". The ones with the dreadful spelling mistakes are the best/worst. "Somtimes peple need too grow up coz then they can no how to bhave". Yeah...okay.

Yes, I know...I associate with the wrong people, but I can't delete them from my 'friends' list. Although I haven't spoken to any of them personally for years, they will soon want to come round to see me in order to duff me up if I delete them! I may as well set fire to their hair and eat their pets! That would be a far less punishable crime!

People on my 'friends' list can't even bring themselves to acknowledge me in the street. Oh wait...that's everyone. Sorry...heh.

Turn off their updates! That what I've done with about 30% of my friends list.

I abandoned my facebook account and set up a new one with just actual friends who I would want to communicate with on Facebook. So much nicer!

I'm tempted to do that too! I know full well I'd never stop looking at the other one though... and I'd probably end up with the same amount of friends again.

I just log in every now and again to see what the weather's like and if anyone's got any washing on the line that's potentially gonna get wet. Other than that, I shout at people in the street and on buses. I like a reaction...I usually get one.

You know, if you don't go on FB for a few days, you'll worry everyone and they'll think you're definitely dead. That's the only reason you wouldn't go on FB...obviously.

I live on facebook. On the rare occasions it goes down I don't know what to do with myself. I'd be super boned without the internet.

TTPYO: My local Royal Mail Delivery Office. How were so many incompetent people collected in one place? There's one postwoman who creatively hides parcels in the hedge or the bin shed or in the spokes of the bikes under the rain covers but she doesn't leave a note to tell us where she hid them (we didn't find one package for 3 months). Today they took a parcel back to the delivery office but will they answer the phone? Will they f**k! I get the RM switchboard to put me through to their internal phone and when the guy answers I ask him if they have my parcel back yet, and he says "yeah, maybe". I ask him to check and he huffs, and then has a conversation with someone about the weather and plans for the weekend for nearly 5 minutes before finally getting back to me and saying "yeah we have it, MRS CARL" Which is not my name.
