I hate it when I hear someone say "make sure you put that up on facebook!" or "why aren't the photos up on facebook yet?!"
WHO CARES. You had a good time, didn't you? Why do you need to prove that to all your non-friends on facebook?

soo true

Yhhh.. duh. Cos after taking it the reply is... 'this is so going as my profile picture.

OH GOD. I so feel like this sometimes. I don't know why on EARTH people insist on taking their cameras out every single weekend to exactly the same place to take pictures of exactly the same people doing exactly the same thing. I'd rather not see pictures of my drunk boyfriend out without me thankyouverymuch, but some people feel the need to document it!
They are always pointless photos as well. It's like "this is me, this is my drink, this is me drinking my drink, this is me dancing, this is my friend, this is us pulling a drunk face, this is me throwing up in the toilets, this is when my friend passed out hahaha"
Tbh I prefer to make memories and keep them locked up in my head, and enjoy occasions rather than have to keep taking photos every minute.

Yes. One of my former flatmates was and still is a serial offender - it usually took her less than an hour to upload FB photos after we got in.
For an alarming number of people FB has become nothing more than a social status competition.

'Oh, I have 800 friends, so I'm awesomely popular' - No, you're incredibly sad for tracking down every single person you've ever uttered a word to or seen walking around school/university.

I'd be quite happy to see facebook's demise.

Honestly, I used to think she wanted to preserve memories or whatever, but now its just got to a point where she wants a huge number underneath her name for the number of photos she's tagged in.

It's very much this 'oooohhh I am tagged in lots of photos with lots of my friends; therefore I am popular' attitude, and it really pisses me off, because we can't have a fun time now because we're too busy posing for bloody photos!

Same goes for people who just want to add anyone and everyone as their friend on facebook, just so they can have a 4-digit number on their 'Friends' box... as if it is like they are collecting them for rep or something ridiculous!

P.S:
The Onion FTW

Wow .Epic rant, yet highly agreeable.

[umop apisdn]

I was thinking this as soon as tagging pictures became an option on FB. I'm pretty sure that on a night out people take pictures to look more popular.

I hardly ever take pictures any more for this reason, good times are ruined by posing people

I like sets of photos when you just give your camera away. They always return the most amusing photos the next morning! But facebook photos are boring, you should take photos to remember a moment, facebook is just a way of showing them to other people.

Then what's the point going out if it's the same thing most of the time? My nights out always seem to have something different about them and I like to keep those memories.
Also, some of my favourite pictures of my late mum are the ordinary ones of her cooking and just hanging about. When I tell my children what their grandmum was like, I want them to see her. And I'll want them to see me. Not just, 'there's me at my 21st, oh and there's me at a friend's wedding, and there's me at my mum's funeral'. I want them to see how I was doing ordinary things.
I grew up hating photos and I still do, and I've never taken a non-essential photo of myself in my entire life (i.e. except for Uni ID, etc.) yet there are somehow over 1,000 pics of me on Facebook. Of me in the practical room at Uni, in lectures, out for lunch and dinner, in the living room watching tv, at the park, volunteering, out on walks, sleeping (damn her!), travelling, site seeing, leaving for uni, at special events, hugging people's pets and children and yes, also at clubs.

Not much of my life is spent standing next to cakes of celebration, so I don't see why my photos should be restricted to such. Despite personal tragedies, depression and having to have a break from Uni, I've had the best few years of my life and I want to remember as much of it as I can (my memory is notoriously awful). I fail to see what's wrong with that!

PS - sorry for rant. It's at everyone, not just you! Also, your sig! So cuuuute and

[Joy Division]

No, but so what if they do???

[EskimoJo]

Hahaha! I love the onion news network! Their stories are always jokes!

[Sam o0o]

I'm pretty sure a few people on my facebook do. Some can't seem to go round a mates without having an album up the next day. It's quite insecure, but hey, nobody suffers so leave them to it.

[La Môme]

Mmm, I've noticed this a lot. I don't take a lot of photos because I'm not a super-photogenic gal, am crap at photography, and I don't really care anyway--it's useless taking photos and putting them up JUST to show how much fun you had!!11111 when really you spent the whole night taking photos.

It is sad how seriously some people take Facebook, but oh well. You'll find pathetic people everywhere.

[DaneCook]

My mate who's out at the moment just updated his status via mobile, he's at a club he paid a fiver to get into and he's updating his fb status instead of raving. Just shows how **** his night outs are when I'm not there, everytime I've been out with him it's been pure epic.

[SB_Vision]

some do...
