  I hate people who complain in their status updates. (This will, of course, be my new status update)

    I hate people who complain about complaining, at least the hated person has a reason to be complaining.

    (self hatred, obviously)

  Beanster is amused at how many people think she would want to drive two hours to listen to your sister sing and watch you live out your pathetic princess fantasies while putting your doomed-to-fail marriage in twenty-five thousand dollars worth of debt.

    The very worst are those vaguely cryptic status updates that are designed to elicit sympathetic queries and lots of attention.

    However, the worst becomes the best when no one bothers to respond with the desired clucks and head-pats.

    It’s good that FB has improved their privacy settings, but dumb as hell that they made them so complicated and didn’t make any good tutorials (that I know of). I have my “friends” sorted into several different lists, each of which has access to different things, but most people still aren’t aware you can do this. If care little enough for another person that you only speak to them once a year, why would you let them see all your status updates?

  Before the days of FB, I had a friend of a friend tell someone that she registered at Hudson’s (now Macy’s) for her wedding, but she also created a registry at Target “for her friends who were poor”. She also informed said person that she was just going to return the gifts from Target and use the money at Hudson’s for any leftover items on her registry.

  I’m sure if FB had existed back then this somehow would have ended up in a status update.

  You know what? I don’t think these statuses should be included in funny passive-aggressive notes.

  I’m actually more offended by the people who reply saying, “Oh you didn’t invite me” than the first girl. The first girl is definitely obnoxious and rude, and I would never say that out loud, let alone in a forum where hundreds of people can read it – but honestly, I can speak from experience when I say it is staggering how many people feel entitled to an invite (or even worse, feel that you should accomodate them at every move when it comes to the wedding). It is incredibly rude to assume you’re going to be invited (just as it’s incredibly rude for the bride/groom to expect gifts), and even worse to actually comment on it on facebook! Weddings are expensive, and tough decisions need to be made about how many guests you can afford and/or fit in your venue (in my case, the space is really the issue – I’m not cheaping out, I just can’t pack people in like sardines). Not everyone can invite 300 people, and feeling hurt that you weren’t invited is one thing – throwing it back in the couple’s face to make them feel like crap is quite another.
