Facebook. This kind of makes me feel old

1/13/2009 10:48:45 PM

just wait until your neices/nephews do

1/13/2009 10:49:48 PM

My aunts and uncles are my facebook friends too. I definitely learned more about the photo privacy stuff that first day.

1/13/2009 10:51:04 PM

I bet you make them feel old

1/13/2009 10:51:07 PM

^^^ Having my little cousins add me is bad enough. Thank god my sister hasn't bred yet.

^^ Yeah, I need to learn up on that more

1/13/2009 10:52:02 PM

yeah my aunt just added me a few days ago

1/13/2009 10:56:55 PM

all the midle aged ladies from my heavy evangelical days add me

they have those real bible-thumping status messages

it was hard to not troll the shit out of them after the election

1/13/2009 11:00:20 PM

watch out for uncle jimbo

I am having this same issue recently...it makes me feel uncomfortable in my bar stool.

1/13/2009 11:05:58 PM

its very hard to resist making a snide status comment regarding the weight gained and number children born to old high school people.

so far, no dangerous relatives.

1/13/2009 11:06:11 PM

My bosses started to add my a few months ago. I had to sanitize everything.

1/13/2009 11:09:06 PM

i have family members and coworkers adding me too

my profile is pretty standard, nothing to hide. i have pictures of me doing shots but i'd do that (and have done) in front of the people who are adding me so i dont feel the need to take those down

there aren't pics of me stumbling around drunk, passed out in a bush or taking my clothes off so i let them see the whole profile, no limited view

1/13/2009 11:41:50 PM

My dad added me on Facebook a couple of weeks ago with no warning. I guess I wasn't his friend in real life .

1/13/2009 11:44:58 PM

my mom joined too

1/13/2009 11:47:32 PM

haha her status says:

"Lynda is chilling at home."

ya way to go mom, youre totally chilling!

I'm probably the only one but I kind of feel like it's inappropriate for bosses to add their subordinates on Facebook. I guess the combo of me feeling like they were trying to snoop and the idea of your personal life being separate from your work life.

1/14/2009 12:27:16 AM

i dont go on facebook

1/14/2009 12:32:54 AM

god damn I give a fuck if a prospective employer finds my facebook

yes, I am a raging anarchist, non-religious, big fan of psychedelic rock, and support drug policy reform

if any of that bothers them, I probably don't want to work there anyway

1/14/2009 1:41:04 AM

yeah and they keep writing on my wall, asking when i'm gonna come over and get a "rad haircut" because it's perpetually 1988 and i'm always 6 to them

1/14/2009 8:31:53 AM

I want to do the Facebook stuff for my work!

1/14/2009 8:40:47 AM

Haha, my dad just joined and sent an invite (he's 52). My sisters in law all sent invites too, they're like 16.

1/14/2009 8:43:52 AM

I just deleted my dad from my friends. My uncle just sent me a friend request. Don't think I'll be accepting that one either.

1/14/2009 9:54:07 AM

i'm already known as the "free spirited" member of our extended family so nothing my family sees on facebook or myspace will change their impressions

1/14/2009 9:55:44 AM

the secretary got invited to facebook yesterday....she's 50


she said she wasn't joining but i put my shit on lock down anyway


just in case

1/14/2009 9:55:57 AM

u scurred?

1/14/2009 10:05:51 AM

i've gotten friend request from some teachers i had in high school

1/14/2009 10:06:39 AM

yes...

the lady that invited her had a meltdown when she saw my myspace page...and i'm not even sure why


she said i lied to her about drinking or something


i'm like "uh...when did i ever tell you that i don't drink?"

1/14/2009 10:06:58 AM

I've never used it before but couldn't you just put your coworkers/family on the limited profile thing?

Is your family from Eldorado, Texas?

1/15/2009 3:15:02 AM

Coworker-"randy, whats up with this thing on facebook on your profile?"

me-"um what are you talking about?"

coworker-"somebody made a comment or something about bro rape? should you be telling me something?"

me-"oh GAH DAMN EMCE"

COLLIDING

1/15/2009 8:08:59 AM

My mom's old roommate from about 10 years ago added me. That is some crazy shit.

1/15/2009 8:40:35 AM

my brother-in-law's mom added me. She's like 60

That is an add request that would remain unanswered...heck, Ive got three right now (not bosses, but other people) that have sat there for close to a year.

1/15/2009 8:46:31 AM

Mom's coworkers and even the preacher. Not sure I need that kind of spying/infiltration on my Fbook.

1/15/2009 9:08:20 AM

^^ dude just click ignore and they dont get a notificationt hat you declined them

and they go away

1/15/2009 9:09:32 AM

maaan, my dad added me on facebook, and since im not as vulgar on there as i am on myspace, i figured i would let it fly. im not much of a family person, but hey...it's my dad. it was creepy when he started getting those connections facebook makes for you with my older friends he recognized, as well as some current friends. he started adding them and having conversations with them and shit...kinda bugged me. oh yea, my dad is like 70.

and further down the line, nieces, half-sisters, etc. all started adding me. i didnt wanna be a jackass and be the only person in my family to reject my other family members (who i don't really even communicate with). shit, i got on facebook for my friends, not family. my dad said he wanted me to add him so he could see my photos, and then all this other shit goes down.

ah well.

1/21/2009 12:50:00 AM

this same thing has happened to me recently as well

1/21/2009 12:50:37 AM

So far only my brother.

And my old boss.... who wouldn't hire me on full time though she said she would so uh talk about awkward...

1/21/2009 12:52:08 AM

lifes good when youre family and co-workers and bosses have all seen you drunk already and they all dont care because many times they've been drunk with you.

1/21/2009 12:53:15 AM

I still won't add my mom

1/21/2009 12:55:02 AM

Since making this thread another aunt added me

1/21/2009 12:56:20 AM

"*uncle*(3:03:11 PM): Hi Peter, were you in Philadelphia recently?"

After a friend of mine uploaded a picture of me drunk as FUCK and her drinking out of a coffee mug.

Son of a bitch

1/21/2009 3:08:03 PM

One of my druggie cousins just added me.

2/5/2009 12:28:24 AM

Wait til your 7 year old cousin lies his way into getting a facebook. And then adds you. Major privacy control going on currently :|

2/5/2009 12:35:38 AM

this sorta bull-shit is just another reason I will never make a facebook

2/5/2009 12:37:04 AM

but we can poke each other if you do

2/5/2009 12:41:59 AM

facebook is a gaint trap...of epic proportions
