ENOUGH! I don’t want to tell you 25 things! (facebook rant)
by Travis on Feb.05, 2009, under General, Rants
You know, I’ve about had it. The first one was cute, the second one was a little annoying but now that I’ve gotten into the teens of how many times I’ve been tagged with “25 Random Thing about XXXX” it’s gotten OLD.
It may seem pretty harmless, take 10 minutes to fill out a little survey and forward it on to your friends but did you know that they’re up to about 5 million of these things? That comes out to be (assuming 10 minutes to fill it out) to about 800,000 hours of worktime WASTED. 🙂 Even at minimum wage that’s still just under $6.2 million of waste work time!
So, aside from the fact it’s a huge waste of money and time… it’s annoying. Stop with the madness people as most of us don’t want to hear that you eat tacos with a fork, that you can’t grow hair on your arms or that you cried when Spock died in Star Trek II.

Be honest… you were the one who cried when spock died huh LOL? Why do you read them if you hate them? just ignore them and no time wasted. 😀 I’ve been tagged at least 30 times and I did one and that was it. If they are interested they can go read it, I’m not gonna do a million of them.

Of course. He was the only one I could ever relate to and they killed him… *rolls eyes*
hehe I do ignore them… I just hate logging in and seeing 20 notifications and 90% of them are tagged notes that I have to weed through in order to see the ones I am interested in, lol.

I have 25 things I would like to share with everyone but Travis said this is a family establishment…so I will leave it alone this time. 😉

lol I KNEW IT! But hey, even though they killed him, he came back to life and now does commercials for pain relief medicine. 😀
I think they are interesting. I like learning new things about people withouth having to face them. That way if I’m not interested I don’t have to pretend to be and it won’t get awkward.

Dude – just do like I do. Delete the requests and play some Vampires. Just the virtual act of killing other vampires and drinking their blood is enough to ease anyone’s stress. *super evil grin*
