-This 'fraping' business


On this point:

There is a certain friendship group at my university in which fraping occurs all the time. At first, it appeared to be a case of people accidentally leaving their facebook logged in on a library computer as they went to the loo. However 7 months on, the fraping continues at an alarming rate.

Usually some questionable status updates will be posted, their display picture changed and some other irritating stuff will happen. The 'victim' will then post something like "OMGZ, time for damage control lolzzz...[insert name of funnyman here] you are such a joker/lad/pr*ck..." Despite realising the error of their ways, the 'victim' will often leave themselves open for attack again and again.

My theory: the frape 'victims' are deliberately allowing themselves to be fraped because it whips up attention/makes them look funny/makes them look like they are in some sort of 'in crowd'.

I find Facebook annoying. At first it was awesome in like year 10. This crazy world of adding friends and sharing nice pictures and everybody getting along and sharing homework help and all that rubbish.

Now it is a culture of, take a picture of everything and facebook it, look how drunk I seem on these pictures.

Or my pet hate, general statements to attract likes.

"I like getting paid"

No ****, don't we all? You obviously want likes.

Just attention seeking crap. I don't buy into it. People think I'm weird or something, turns out I spend all the time I would have on facebook learning stuff, I've taught myself a lot.

I hate Facebook. Only still activated icnase I need it for uni. What a load of crap.
/rant.


You're my hero.

:eek: Blaming the poor frape victim, suggesting they wanted it!
Also those who complain about being single. If they spent less time on Facebook and more time going out and socialising, perhaps they would be luckier in that department!

Sometimes I think they even encourage it. Probably show their computer screen to people in the hope that a frapist will see it and pounce.

Edited to add: People uploading pictures of their hideous tattoos and expecting praise. Someone on my Facebook got a tattoo of a DILDO on her hip and posted it to her wall. And one of her friends had gotten one of Kurt Kobain (could see it because she commented on it and it came up in my feed), and proudly proclaimed to all those who asked who it was that it was 'Kirk Kobain'. :facepalm:


i'm making a really sad request, but i wanna see this tattoo of "kirk kobain", what a fool she is.

Baby scans. While it's nice to keep family and friends updated on your pregnancy, baby scans (at least I think) are supposed to be private memories to keep between a few people and pass around, not upload so the world and his wife can see them. Or is that just me? It seems to happen a lot with teenage mothers.

Frapes annoy me. It may have been funny the first time someone did it and everybody believed it but now it is obvious when someone has been fraped and not at all funny. If you are going to do anything, send a few pms. I also dislike people putting untrue information in the info section eg 'School: Hogwarts'


Ah but surely frapping someone with harry potter based innuendo's is brilliant.

I.e. Whomp my willow

Oh God, oh man, oh God, oh man, don't remind me of those. :cry2:


I don't know if its just me, but the type of people who write like that often have Bieber/Zayn Malik/Aston Merrygold/Marvin JLS in their names too

:facepalm2:

Facebook itself annoys me.

People who tag you on a stranger's photos that are in no way related to you, AND expect you to "like" it!

Oh and the usual people liking their own photos, and commenting on them, rather than adding a description! Grinds my gears every time. X(
When people have long wall-wall conversations and post every second. Surely you're both online so why not use facebook chat or talk via messages?

I just do that hear less from this person thing.

I can't stand status', when did socialising become boasting about where you are rather than just going somewhere with your mates and having fun? I would only become active on posting status' on facebook if I won the lottery. I would post photos of my bank balance daily, post status' updating people on how many £50 notes I had used to wipe my arse.


Hahaha!! Wiping your arse with £50 notes That's joke!
.... That sounds sarcastic but yh

We had a talk at work from a rather marvellous fetal medicine physician who complained that acquaintances showing him baby scans at dinner parties etc for his "expert opinion" were a hazard associated with his job. He said he deals with them by pointing out the layer of maternal abdominal fat, after which they tend to leave him alone.

Any form of attention seeking + posting "R.I.P. ______ :frown::frown::frown::frown::frown:" on a singer's death anniversary when they in fact never actually listened to that singer.

For the 100th time:

-girl post picture and says she's ugly
-friend comes along and compliment her
-girl denies the compliment and compliments her friend instead
-the friend feels flattered and reassures the girl that she's beautiful
-both girls end up happy and inbox each other
-guys like me just want to shoot the laptop after that :colonhash:


if you saw an elephant next to you, you'll shoot that as well :awesome:

Whine about how hungover they are. YOU DID THAT TO YOURSELF.
A girl from my old school was posting statuses telling everyone how many cm she was dilated by during childbirth. :lolwut:
Some of my Facebook pet peeves are:

- friends surfing their Facebook via their smartphones even while outside (since we are already meeting up outside, why are you spending quite a considerable amount of time on it??? OHMYGOODNESS you might as well stay home)

- friends tagging everyone else in a photo because he/she looks better or the best in it

- people posting verses of lyrics as their status

- people who think they are so cool by using terms like "like a boss..." for their photo captions or their status.
