Top Ten Reasons I Block Everyone From Posting On My Facebook Wall

10. Posting REALLY old internet jokes
Yes I know about Rick Rolling and no you are not funny. You are several years behind in fact. Get with the times.
9. Bored People With Nothing To Say
Oh these types are the worst. They have nothing to say but yet they keep typing. Why? Because they don’t want to admit that their lives about about as pleasant as a chainsaw enema. It’s like taking some bimbo home who wants to talk afterwards, but blabber on and on about crap you couldn’t even pretend to care about. Please save me the trouble and just go play Farmville with the other idiots. You can’t handle a real conversation anyways.
8. Posting Things I Hate Because You Think It Is Funny
This is the same as posting a Rick Roll and thinking you are cutting edge. If one of my friends does this funny thing a day, is it still funny? No. You didn’t “Get me real good that time.” I’m just irritated at your lack of imagination. When I had my wall open I would get people pulling that same prank everyday. Sometimes several times a day. Somehow each one of them thought they were funny and original. They weren’t.
7. Invites To Farmville
So I ignore your invite my email, but you think I will fall in love with that waste of braincells game if you post it on my wall? I’m not on Facebook for brainless games. I’m on Facebook for conversation. When I want to unplug I will go in the bedroom and watch tv.
6. What About My Friends Who Just Want To Catch Up?
Sometimes I want to catch up with an old friend. So I go to their wall to read up on what is happening in their lives. What I end up reading is endless lists of crap from other people. When you go to my wall you will only see what I am up to. Makes it easier for everyone.
5. Posting Videos Of Bands I Hate
No I really don’t care about the latest whiny little bitch emo band. I also don’t care about the latest flat monotone metalcore band. If the band didn’t come out between 1985 – 1995 I think they suck. I’m old and cranky. Deal with it. You are blocked for trying to make my wall look like I’m some trendy loser who still lives in his mothers basement. Get a real job!
4. People who post a reply to a thread by starting another thread on my freaking wall.
You really think you are THAT special? Why can’t you post the reply within the thread of the conversation along with everyone else? You give arrogant Bastard a bad name. I’d rather drink the beer.
3. Things that are better put in the Facebook email system
If you want to ask me a question send me an email. No one else needs to read about your computer problems (or whatever other lame thing you are asking about).
2. Spammers
Ok, this isn’t too common as Facebook has a pretty easy way to block unwanted people, but with what I do online I can only be so picky. A spammer does get in from time to time and I don’t want gay pron sitting on my wall for 8 – 16 hours before I notice it.
1. No Reason For It Really
Ok, now I run three fan pages for three different websites. I totally understand why someone would want to posting something on those walls. It would be stupid to block fans from posting on the wall of a band. If I do an interview with a band that band should want me to post a link on their fan page. Their fans probably want to see that. But a personal wall? No reason. When I posting something, reply within THAT thread. Don’t start a new one. If you want me to check something out, use the email system. If I like it I will hit that share button. There is no reason for you to post on my wall. There is no reason for anyone to post on anyone’s personal wall. There are better alternatives. Use them.
