What do I need to kiss to get my face on your page? Why is your page not all about me just like mine is? You obviously don’t love me as much as I love myself. You are denying our friendship.

I’m Hurt. John Hurt. You may know me from such films as The Elephant Man.
Why did you choose the one formal picture which I am not in?

Maybe if A’s head wasn’t so big, B would be able to see herself in the pictures.
Maybe A is going to cry herself to sleep on her huge pillow.

You’re totally my BFF !!

intervention is in order. Just joking…lol

A: I’m really telling you this because I’m terribly insecure and the only way I can feel good about myself is if I appear in everyone’s Facebook profile picture. Because it’s obviously all about me and not you and your profile. Psh. I’m going to go stuff my face with bonbons now. (jokes) [they're actually twinkies]

Shouldn’t the last message (12:16pm) be from Person A and not Person B? I can’t make sense of it otherwise.

I had a roommate like that. He didn’t care what he said, as long as it had the disclaimer, “just kidding,” after a short pause.

Is “A” emotionally hurt or physically?
She needs to be physically hurt.
Just kidding!

I’m more concerned that A is under the impression that a friendship can be made or broken because of a choice in Facebook picture.
It’s like people who stop being friends because they’re not included in another person’s Top 8 on MySpace. You know who does that? FOURTEEN YEAR OLDS.

If MySpace and FaceBook had existed back in the 1980s nobody would have written “The Greatest Love of All.”

This pretty much sums up what the social networking sites eventually degenerate to. It’s no longer about networking or connecting. It’s about getting my face on everyone’s site, collecting the most friends and then ignoring them because who can keep up with 300 “friends,” especially when you are busy monitoring who isn’t putting your face on their site.

You know what? This exact thing happened when I (A) checked in on my wife Shanikqua’s (B) FaceBook. The “formal” pic she chose was her in a cocktail dress, holding two drunk bozos in twin headlocks under her twin headlights (set for fog).
She did look pretty; I’ll give her that…

I’m thinking A should’ve just put her comments in quotes – then B would’ve known she was being sarcastic.
Ahhh, webspeak is wonderful, isn’t it?

Checking the timestamps, it would appear that the most sleep was lost by B, as she anxiously generated the line, “It’s the only pic of me smiling…” Ten hours ofhang-wringing, and that’s the best you can come up with? What about, “Back off, Creeper- since when do we have a friendship?”
That’s the one I get most of the time…

As I read this note I have a soundtrack playing in my head. I couldn’t place it at first but I think it’ s The Cure.
Whenever I’m Facebooking you
I feel like I’m on probation
Whenever I’m facebooking you
It’s like another violation

Or maybe B could of said something like; My mother wasn’t in the picture either, you don’t see her asking if I’m denying her paternity!

You should never try to make jokes online. They get lost unless you put a smily face. A missed out on that lesson.

This is a serious syntax question:
What if you include sarcastic quotes around phrases like just kidding?
“No worries, just teasing.” Apparently I’m not important to you. “JOKES!”

OMG! How did this end up here?
OK, let’s get the back story on this. A bunch of us went to the Spring Formal here at Sweet Valley High. My BFF, A, booked a limo so we could all go in style but it never showed up. So I hitched a ride on a logging truck and got to the dance but I smelled like Newports.
Then A, ignored me the whole time. I saw all of them taking a group picture so I had to run over there and get in. They took one picture without me.
We all hung out for a while but then they all left without me. So I didn’t even get to ride in the limo I chipped in for.

“A” needs to learn to how to negate her comments in a sneakier way than “Jokes!”
It’s become a great art at my workplace:
You *actually* did a good job on that report.
*Apparently* the people in finance like you.
I *seriously* wish I could promote you.

“Hey, Doc- check out this picture. I could’a sworn that I was standing behind Biff and his goons for this “Enchantment Under the Sea” photo. I even remember giving him ‘bunny ears’. Now it looks like I wasn’t even there…”
“Wasn’t – Even – There?? Great Scott, Marty- did you remember to destroy that “User’s Manual for Creating Your Own Online Social Networking Website” that you brought back from 2025?”
“Sure, Doc- I threw it into the dumpster behind the drug store…”
“…right where Biff hangs out, trying to steal beer! Marty, has Biff contacted you lately?”
“Yeah, he friended me. I figured, why not?”
“‘Why Not?’- Don’t you see Marty, he’s used the manual to invent MySlacker, YouTools, and BiffsList!…and now he’s gone back to the 50′s and is erasing any evidence of you!”
“Heavy, Doc- whadda we do?”
“”There’s only one thing we can do. We have to travel even farther back in time than Biff, and align the time/space continuum.”
“Well, this time, I’m bringing some food. Want me to go home and grab that leftover roast that my Mom made?”

A. Are you denying our friendship?
B. No, I would never do so.
A. Lies! Before the cock crows this night, you will have denied our friendship three times.
Methinks A has a bit of a martyr complex.

Yes, because a “just kidding” after the fact is going to make you look _less_ insecure and petty.

Under the irritating buzz of yellow florescence, the room looked hazy; nearly smoky. An odor of formaldehyde and rot permeated the dank air. Each breath pulled the stench deeper within her, and yet, she was powerless to leave.
She remembered stepping into Bob’s apartment in trepidation. He had offered her some coffee, and she woke up strapped into an ancient medical birthing chair. Now he approached her with a rusty scalpel.
“You looking pretty is clearly more important than our friendship!”
He raised the scalpel to her trembling cheek. “Jokes again!” he sadistically grinned.

I bet A was very serious, and VERY hurt, but told B she was kidding so her other facebook friends wouldn;t question her sanity and god forbid remove her pics from their profiles.

It’s entirely possible B really was just kidding. I know someone who likes to fake taking offense as a way of teasing.
But, as has already been said, it’s hard to detect sarcasm over the Internet. Obviously B isn’t sarcastic in real life or A, being their friend, would have been able to tell.

Wow. Like, fucking seriously? I would have to say that yeah, looking nice in a picture would be more important than this particular “friendship,” because anyone doing that is pretty much a waste of time.
