Mom Peeve #17 Facebook Crimes

Mom Peeve #17 Seventeen crimes that are committed on facebook daily.


The Peeve Police have been patrolling. Its time to address the facebook peeves. These happen every day in plain sight. Let's hope that in acknowledging them, we might start the process of eliminating these social networking crimes. And if you have committed any of these, don't be embarrassed, just please don't be a repeat offender.
  1. Blurry, close up photos of large cuts, gashes, and that ingrown toenail Caption reads, "Does this look right to you?" NO it doesn't! It looks terribly wrong, and now thanks to FB timeline that toenail picture is huge and ingrained in my brain forever. 
  2. Overwritten status updates. These are the updates where you can actually imagine how long it took the "writer" to come up with something so "profound".
  3. Farmville and all other facebook gaming apps. No I don't want to harvest a virtual farm and no, I won't buy your bean crop so you can "unlock" more profitable vegetables.
  4. Everyone in your family wants you to "join their family tree." But guess what, they know you are in the family, and so do you, and so does the rest of your family! Isn't that enough?
  5. The facebook alter ego. This happens when you know someone in real life and think, "Hey I like John. John's cool." And then there is Facebook John and you think, "I can't stand Facebook John, he is so freaking obnoxious."
  6. Pointless photos and lots of them. Uh...did you mean to unload your whole memory card on to facebook with all those pointless pictures in between the 3 good ones? I guess you did...since you made an entire album to put them in called, "Havin' Fun."
  7. When what happens in the bathroom...ends up on facebook. Anything having to do with urine, feces, throw up, rashes. These are not social networking topics...or at least they shouldn't be. This applies to you, your child, and your dog.
  8. Lots of pictures of animals especially cats...doing things, thinking things, laying around, wearing hats, etc. No thanks.
  9. Over enthusiastic people with lots of exclamations...all the time!!!!!!!!
  10. Old people. On facebook. Has anyone noticed how everyone's Grandma signs, "~Grandma" after all her comments. Like you didn't know it was Grandma...
  11. The "look what I did" album that is filled with horrible creations. You know it and I know it, but sadly she doesn't know it because EVERYONE keeps saying, "Wow that's great!"..."You are so talented"... "Beautiful" The same applies to horrible pictures people post of themselves. I am not saying we need to be mean, but stop encouraging, we don't want to see more of that.
  12. Too much naked preggo. I have addressed this before. But let me reiterate. Growing life is beautiful, pregnant portraits fine, but everyone on facebook does not need to see how much exactly your skin has expanded now that you are 31 weeks with a sensor bar across your chest.
  13. Baby facebook accounts. Mom and dad have their own facebook, but Baby Pricilla was born last month, and guess what? She has her own facebook! Yeah! Baby Pricilla just updated her status, "My tummy was upset tonight. I hope Mommy doesn't eat any more of that Chili." This should be illegal.
  14. Status update or blog? These are the status updates that could seriously have "Dear Diary," in front of them every day because they are so long and detailed. Get a blog or a xanga.
  15. When people are SO busy that they just have to take time to log into facebook, go to their home page, and update their status to tell everyone how busy they are today. In fact, they are so busy, they might just remind you "how swamped" they are and "crazy busy" at least 2 or 3 more times.
  16. New parent syndrome: The Play by Play. A and B have baby C. A and B update everyone on every single thing Baby C does to the point that you know how many wet and dry diapers she had today, and even saw a picture of her "first blowout".
  17. Out of control PDAS-Public Displays of Affection Status-style. Get a cyber room. 
Have more to add to the list? Don't be shy what are your peeves?
