I’ve noticed
that my while my Facebook friends have distinct personalities in real life,
they can basically fit into a few categories on Facebook.
CATEGORY 1 – The Tell-All
You never
have to worry about what this person is doing, is going to do, or has
done. It’s all spelled out on their page
– where they went, who they went with, what was said, and how much they enjoyed
it (or not!). It’s all there.
CATEGORY 2 – The Gamer
I get so
annoyed by game requests. SO
annoyed. I’ve been on FB for years and
have never played Gardenville or Farmtown or whatever it’s called, and there’s
about a 99.9% chance I never will.
Therefore, I most likely don’t have a plow that you can borrow. But, I PROMISE, if I find an extra plow lying
around the house, you will be the first to know.
CATEGORY 3 – The Creeper
You know
this person HAS a Facebook, but they never post statuses or anything. You would think they are never on FB except
for the fact that they LIKE every single one of your posts and your
pictures.
CATEGORY 4 – The Closet Facebooker
This would
be my husband, who DECLARES Facebook to be a stupid, immature waste of
time. He finds it ridiculous that adults
spend so much time “goofing” off (says the man who will probably not sleep for
weeks when the next Call of Duty game comes out). For it to be such a silly waste of brain
cells, I’m always surprised when I look over at night (EVERY night) and see him
with the iPad camped out on my Facebook page.
He will, of course, deny this but I speak the truth.
CATEGORY 5 – The Proud Mama
This person
thinks everything her child says is hysterical and clever, and cannot WAIT to
post it for all to see. She’s also
disappointed and gets her feelings hurt if she doesn’t get at least 20 likes. J (Don’t judge me. What my kids say IS funny and more than 20
people should think so!)
CATEGORY 6 – The Super Model Wannabe
You know
who I’m talking about. If you can
describe your Facebook friend’s bathroom, then you know she’s your Category 6,
because she’s ALL THE TIME snapping pictures of herself with the toilet or the
bathroom mirror in the background. And
she posts it like it was a random quick shot of herself that she took on her
way out the door…. we ALL know that she probably took at least a dozen pictures
and deleted them until she found the most flattering one.
CATEGORY 7 – The Soapboxer
I swear
this person walks around just LOOKING for something to fuss about. Every stinkin’ week, it’s something. Negativity on steroids! If you have a problem with somebody or some
THING, then do something about it. Address
the source of your frustrations head on. Don’t just keep the FB world stirred
up all the time.
CATEGORY 8 – The One Who Can’t Take
a Hint
Hypothetically
speaking, if you friend request me and I don’t answer, like for months, and so
you delete your Facebook account and create a new one and friend request me
again, and I still don’t accept.
Ummm. Dude, take the hint. Hypothetically, of course.
CATEGORY 9 – The Magnum P.I.
This is the
person – heck, I’ll admit it, I am this category. If I read about somebody getting arrested, I
look ‘em up on FB. If I hear somebody is
sick, I look ‘em up on FB. If someone
applies for a job with me, I’m looking ‘em up on FB before I even read their
resume. If my kids mention a new person
who might be a potential boyfriend/girlfriend in the future… you got it. I have to admit, you can tell a lot more
about a teen by reading their Twitter though.
Most of the teens these days know that their grandma is on FB, so they
keep it cleaned up. But their Twitter…
geez Louise. That’s a whole other blog. Don’t even get me started.
There are
probably many more categories. Feel free
to comment and share you own category ideas.
I think most of us fall in at least one of the categories above… maybe
even a combination of them. I’m
personally a combination of 1, 5, 7, and 9.
What are you?
