Dear Facebook User

  • Do you really think your wall is an appropriate place to carry on a conversation with your kid? Please do us all a favor and pick up the phone.
  • Really? You’re going to share that medical information about your family member? Ever heard of HIPPA?
  • Really? You’re going to air all that dirty laundry to your friends? This isn’t high school anymore, act like an adult and address your issues with the person involved.
  • Yes, we all love pictures but we don’t care to see thousands of them! A few is enough – add them to your albums, a photography group, a blog but please quit flooding our wall with your pictures.
  • Enough with the “woe is me” posts. People soon cease to care especially when any constructive suggestions by friends is rebuked by you.
  • Maybe the actions of your past are best not shared to all? It’s admirable that you want to make amends with your past but please do so with the people involved, not everyone wants to hear every sordid detail of your life.
  • Remember the TMI rule….is this too much information?
  • Know the difference between your wall and a message. If it’s TMI it doesn’t belong on your wall.
  • Enough with the statuses asking me to post  ‘insert cause here’ on my wall. Yes we ALL know of someone who died or has cancer but adding it as my status update for an hour is not going to accomplish anything. Most people find these requests tiresome and annoying.
  • Don’t try to be cute with a cryptic status update so people will ask, “what?” and then refuse to answer their question. Soon people won’t ask anymore.

    Everyone needs a blog vacation once in a while.

    I so agree with this post. So many people have poor boundaries.

    This is all on point and so very annoying when I see it in my news feed. Lol.

    Seems a lot of people feel the same way, thanks for the comments!

    @Ferd…not really a break just very busy with the house for sale (it sold) and the upcoming move out East. Will be 25 miles from Sarah and the kiddies :)

    Many people tend to forget the TMI rule, good to remind them.
    But why should you hide any information from your true 2385 friends heh?
