Facebook Bitching!

Yeah, I know.  Double post but there is something I really need to get off my chest.  It has to deal with Facebook and all the people that feel it’s appropriate to air out their private thoughts and feelings.  My wife has a cousin that totally blasted his uncle on Facebook last night and not only was it inappropriate but it was also disrespectful and something that should be talked about in the privacy of family not to the entire media population of the world.

This is not the only instance of this I noticed.  In fact, I have a “friend”, it’s really more of an acquaintance than a friend but you can’t separate them on Facebook.  He’s the type of friend where if I see him, we’ll say hi and chit chat a little bit but I’m not going to seek him out to hang out or talk to everyday.  They type you see every so often and you’re friendly but in reality you could give two shits about.  We all have them so don’t act like you don’t think the same thing.  Can’t Facebook come up with something to separate all your “friends”?  Some type of separation with, “friends”, “acquaintances”, and even “enemies”.  I’d love to see an enemies section on there.  You know the saying, “keep your friends close but your enemies closer.”

Anyway, back to this acquaintance.  He pretty much had a nervous breakdown on Facebook last week and while entertaining it was annoying and quite frankly a little sad.  He was obviously having ladies issues but felt the need to air out all these problems for his “friends”, family and acquaintances to see.  It got to the point where his real friends were posting to cut it out and the girl he was talking about was telling him to stop posting stuff.  It was a real live Facebook soap opera!  Again, entertaining but embarrassing.  In fact, I don’t know if I could look this kid in the face if I see him again.  I would take him off my “friends” list but I don’t want his next post to be blasting me….

I don’t know what these people are thinking.  A lot of people are doing it and not only is it embarrassing to the people posting but it’s embarrassing to the people it’s about and it’s something that should be handled privately.  Please stop putting personal grudges, personal feelings and overall your personal shit live on Facebook for the world to see.  Instead, try this, pick up a phone and have a conversation.  Trust me, it’ll work out a lot better in the long run and will make you look like a grown up instead of a twelve year old girl in grammar school.  Maybe it’s me, but some things should be kept PRIVATE!
