Pet Peeve #36: When single females (keyword “single”) announce they are “engaged”, but do not have a ring.

This has been an issue with me for some time and was posted on facebook over a year ago (before I got engaged). I always had a problem with females who are hype to get married, and for some reason, it seems like the level of “hypeness” has increased recently. It drives me crazy! Since when did being in a relationship with someone for a long time, living with your mate or having a baby by someone equals being engaged. If you complete college, your degree or transcript provides validation. If you drive a car, a driver’s license can decide if you are or are not riding dirty. If you are married, your marriage license is proof. If you are engaged your RING proves it! Simple. No rocket science here readers. People use the word “engaged” like they say “boyfriend” or “girlfriend”. Am I tripping or do you not need a ring with someone asking you a question? Is that played out? Is that old fashion? STOP LYING! He is your boyfriend, or she is your girlfriend. Ladies, if he wants to marry you, you will receive a ring with a question. Until then, STOP IT! UGH!

Pet Peeve #31: Random people who send messages trying to hook up with someone on Facebook.

About a month ago I got a message from someone who I do not know trying to hook up with me on Facebook. This dude sent a long message that appeared as if he just hit copy and paste about how he like my profile and wanted to “get to know me”. This is Facebook and not match.com! I was so annoyed because my profile is blocked so this random dude never saw anything on my page. Dude, you copied and pasted your message and most likely to a few random girls. I will not fall victim to Internet crime nor will I be found in an alley. El Diablo!

I also need guys to stop using Jesus and their church commitment when trying to hook up with random girls on Facebook. If you happen to hook up with someone on Facebook, kool, but don’t send your love message to every female on Facebook. STOP IT! UGH! Diablo!

Pet Peeve #31d: Adults who argue with other people on Facebook.

Really though. Are we not adults? If you have problems with someone on Facebook, remove them from your friends list. Simple! Internet beef is so corny and immature. I don’t have much to say on this issue so please STOP IT! UGH!

Pet Peeve #31c: People who always mention their location on Facebook.

To be honest, no one cares! Do you think it is essential that everyone always needs to know your location? If so, why is it necessary? I understand mentioning it here and there with significant key locations, but no one needs to read or know your daily itinerary. How about safety? Just let the killer know where you are going or where you are currently located. How about you even let the thief know all the lovely things you are buying for your place. TMI! STOP IT! UGH!

Pet Peeve #31b: People who talk about their haters on Facebook.

Once again, this is another immature move. Must you really always discuss your haters? Internet beef though? What happened to face to face or even telephone interaction? Meet me at the park, meet me at the corner or even meet me afterschool? Since the comments are public, it is like you are trying to draw a crowd. This is Facebook and not the playground. Do not dedicate your time on Facebook to your haters. Even Jesus had haters, so I need you to please get over your haters. Personally, my haters do not even get space on Facebook because I don’t do free advertisement. Follow my approach on haters and STOP IT! UGH!

Pet Peeve #31a: People who always mention what they are doing with their relationship partner on Facebook.

This has actually bothered me for some time, and I am so glad this is pet peeve #31. While preparing to write this pet peeve, I realized I have many problems with people abusing the status box on Facebook. Unlike Myspace, once you post something on someone’s wall or in your status everyone will see it. This has become pet peeves within a pet peeve. Please, let me begin….

It truly becomes a bit much and to be quite honest, WHO CARES! I think it immediately goes from just putting it out there to people bragging. It seems so immature to always express what you are doing with your boo on Facebook. Ex. My baby took me out to the movies. My baby surprised me with lunch. I am looking at my baby. My baby is sitting next to me. Opening Christmas gifts from baby. Walking with baby. Is it not normal for you to do things with your baby? I do a lot with my fiancé, but I just feel like everyone does not need to know what we are doing when we do something. The problem is not one post or picture, but posts and pictures are ridiculous. Please, spare everyone’s eyes and keep that information between you and your baby. Dropkick! STOP IT! UGH!
