7 days of B&W pictures. WTF?! Is my page not crammed enough with your stupid notes to leave a "GIF that says how we met" or "I don't know how many people will just pass this by..." or "I was challenged by Joe Blow to..." that now I need to see 30 people's B&W pictures?
AARGH!!!
vent over.

Could be worse..I'm starting to get people saying "Christmas is coming up and I would appreciate it if you would take a pic holding a note saying: Jane Doe's love for you is so strong it has reached (insert the state you live in)" I had two people message me already and not to mention all the people in my groups asking members to do it for them.

I really dislike the posts asking people to respond to a question with a GIF only.

Oh.My.God. I just can't even. I haven't seen that yet. Do you know who does all this crap? Work people and neighbors. I feel like I can't not friend them and particularly for work, I don't block them (unless they are horrible, then I do). My neighbors post some important stuff, so I like to know what's going on. I think I need to just put everyone in different groups: People I like to see on FB and am interested in their every-now-and-then posts, and then neighbors, work friends and other people I had to friend can go in a folder. UGH.

I actually unfollowed one person for the duration of her seven days. lol. I have one friend who takes lovely photos and I liked hers...she had the beach, and some birds, and a tree against the sky...nice enough to look at. But the one I unfollowed? nope.

Anything is better than politics. YES! I rather see those pictures than political rantings on FB. And I prefer them over the ones that say "share this if you really care about XXX".

I somehow ended up in a bunch of Lularoe groups. I think I've seen the last of the leggings. The B & W photos are showing up on my feed as well. I've already decided if someone challenges me to do it that I'll pretend I didn't see it.

I really like them. The pictures I have seen have been pretty cool.
The gif one I saw was a little switched up. It said to post and the OP would leave a gif of how we met. I might have done it, but she required you to post the same thing on your own page. Nope, not going to do that.

I have a program that blocks all adds, politics and something else. It is a Facebook App that someone on here recommended. You don't know how much I love it! Facebook is awful on my phone but on the computer it's awesome!

It's like the modern day version of chain letters. Remember those? Never participated then, not gonna do it now, and no one can make me. I barely look at Facebook anymore. It's so monotonous.

I figure all the other stuff is what makes Facebook Facebook. But the people who check in at the hospital and just post "Well, this sucks!", or some other variation of vagueness, drive me bananas.

I'm usually pretty laid back about Facebook but lately in multiple groups I'm in someone will ask a question, like "what's your favorite food?" Instead of just replying to their own comment or posting what their favorite food is in the OP they will say "Mines in the comments!"
Uh, no duh?

Why are you on Facebook if you can't handle friends/family B&W pics? Honest to God, I hope anyone else who feels the same way unfriends me immediately. I love seeing the different perspectives and snapshots of my friends and family's lives.

And honestly, I really need the OP to answer - If you don't want to see pictures of your friends' lives, what exactly DO you want to see on FB?

Facebook has been so annoying lately in so many ways.
Tonight I had an older cousin send my a DM. I haven't talked to her in ages. She was saying that I shouldn't worry about my weight so much. I look great. She wishes that she had extra pounds because her latest illness has her so thing etc. I was like WTF? I'm not worried about my weight. AT ALL. I always try to improve my diet but I don't even talk about that on FB nor do I ever talk to her about it. At first I wondered if she sent it to the wrong person?? But then she mentioned my son by name. She sounded bat-shit crazy or maybe drunk? . Maybe she was looking for sympathy for her illness which I've never talked to her about? It was so strange.
I've had a few of these messages lately from different people. Crazy.
And yes, I have the 7 day challenge showing up over and over again. I have no interest in your living room vase thanks.

It doesn't bother me, although if you have a lot of people doing it, I could see how it could be irritating. I have people who take great photos doing it, and was challenged for it myself this morning. Normally, I don't do these things, but photography is a love of mine and I've been feeling like I've really neglected it lately, so I might do it just for myself. I hate emotional blackmail posting. The whole "only a few people will repost this, will you be one of them" implying you're a heartless wench if you won't repost it for whatever cause.
