As I get older, I find that there are many things I have less patience for. Is it because I'm just less tolerant of stuff or am I just getting grumpy in my middle age? Perhaps both.
Lots of stuff about Facebook drives me nuts. Like when people tag me photos, videos and notes that have nothing to do with me. There's a reason why tagging is meant to indicate "Photos of YOU", "Videos of YOU" or "Notes about YOU". That means you (that means ME) are in the photo, video or note. That's the purpose of tagging. It's to allow people who have photos of you to share them with you.
But people just don't get it. People rather tag other people so they can show their own photos, their own stuff, their own products, their own whatevers. Pretty soon your folder of "Photos of YOU" or "Videos of YOU" gets filled with photos and videos that don't have YOU in it, but all the other people's CRAP. They're just using the Facebook tag feature to SPAM other people. Don't they get this? Don't they get it's fucking annoying?
If they want to share something with me, then fine. Send me the photo directly. Send me a message to check it out. Don't the fuck put it in folders that are meant for MY stuff. Don't use my wall to advertise your stuff. I don't post my shit in other people's walls by tagging their name to it. I've never done that. I only post my shit on my own wall.
Yeah, I'm old and I just don't know how to use Facebook. FINE.
If I didn't find Facebook useful in other ways like getting in touch with long lost friends and maintaining a few other friendships, I would have just left the damned site already.
