sick of Facebook itself, as I am of the clueless wonders who frequent it.

Like the passive aggressive ones who say things like "You really hurt me this time!"

Or what's known as "vaguebookers" who post things like, "OMG I can't believe that happened!!!" and they expect people to jump right in and ask, WHAT??? What just happened?

Or: "I'm soooo sad!"

"What happened???"

"Nothing"

Then the parents who think their kid is the first one in the history of mankind to eat his dinner without poking his own eyes out with the fork. And there's not just ONE photo of the little darling...there are TEN of them.

I have a stepdaughter who does that. It's never enough to have just one or two photos of something. There just have to be six or seven or fifteen.

I once went to her wall and added up the number of photos in all her Facebook albums. You don't have to count them...the numbers are displayed.

Once I was done, I had a grand total of over 10,000 photos. This was three years ago.

Oh well. As long as she doesn't expect people to sit there and look at each and every one...whatever.
