This is a real-life story, based on life experience. =)
If you own Facebook account(s) you might be one of these people or you might know someone who is.
The Desperate Marketer is divided into two categories:
1. A person who creates a bunch of pages or groups, and then invited every one on their Facebook friends to Like or Join Group.
2. A person who started online business via their own Facebook account.
I have definitely seen this type of person before.
Category number one keeps posting statuses telling everyone, who Liked or Joined the pages and groups, to invite their friends too.
Category number two keeps adding random people into their friend list. Posting and re-posting the same photo albums, and statuses that keeps saying the same boring thing. When new friends were added they'll post on that person's wall that says, "Thanks for adding me. I'm running a business. Please visit my profile to view the photo albums. Thank you.".
The common thing about these two categories is that they are passionate about having as much coverage as possible. They will post the same boring status every half hour, making some frustrated at them.
Aaahhhh...! The Quiz Taker. This gives me flashbacks into the old days, the first time I created my Facebook account. If you read the headlines of the quizzes, I guarantee you that you'd want to take the quiz! Among the quizzes are:
What does your birth date mean?
What's your actual age?
What's the colour of your personality?
What college best suits you?
What age will you have your first baby?
What's your hidden talent?
Which type of music fits your personality?
I filled my Home and Wall with the quizzes' result. I never got tired of it - at the time. I finally stopped because I only got three people as my Facebook friend then, and I got lonely. Now, hardly anyone take quizzes anymore. =)
The Event Coordinator create event for almost everything! Their cat's birthdays, their half-birthdays, and in 2011, Fasting the entire month of Ramadhan and Hari Raya Puasa.
The last two were really irrelevant. Don't get me wrong. Not that I'm saying people should not fast in the month of Ramadhan and celebrating Hari Raya Puasa. It's the fact that Ramadhan and Syawal will come, whether or not people clicked "I'm attending", "Maybe", or "No".
If you must create an event, please create something that people can realistically go. Like parties, graduations, dinners, weddings, a human being's birthdays, and stuff like that. Don't waste your time creating and inviting people to events that no one really interested in.
The Horrible Photo Tagger - I hate them! Usually they post and tag people's name to photos of gross elements, such as filthy toilet, lump of hair blocking the drain, feces, and other yucky stuff...
Other times, they post embarrassing pictures of you online! The one where you look like you just woke up; the one where you stand, sit or bend at an awkward angle; the one where your mouth is wide open because you're spooning food into your mouth or were yawning; and the list of candid pictures goes on...
The Infant Profile uses pictures of their child or niece or nephew or cute cousins. Yes, it's cute. But if you're going to use pictures of infants or toddlers, you should mind what you post in your profile. Please don't post anything that contains pornographic materials, don't swear at people with harsh words, and stuff like that. You had a child as your profile picture, please then, act maturely. People will wonder if you treat your child the same way you treat others.
The Passive Aggressor. This type of person is found all over Facebook. It's kind of funny actually, some of them. They use Facebook as a place to vent out their emotions. Usually feelings of anger, and sometimes anger and sadness combined together. They hold their feelings in so they will have something interesting to post as Facebook status later.
Why I mentioned that they're funny...? Because they can be hypocritical sometimes. Sometimes, they'll post things like "Don't judge the book by it's cover", or "If you had something nasty to say about me, say it to my face!". But then, when they found something to be angry about, they post it in their Facebook status that really contradicts what they used to say before! They dare people to "say it straight to their face", but they don't really practice it in their daily life anyway.
The Rash is really like the rash! Almost stalker-like if you must. Whatever you post on Facebook, they will never fail to be the first person to Like and Comment on your posts - whether or not it is even remotely related to them! I've spotted this type of people before. They Like and Comment every single thing you post on Facebook - be it your status, your comments, your pictures, you name it! They will be there. It's suffocating to witness, let alone to experience.
Here's the kicker, The Filterless... They will update their Facebook status every five minutes that you find yourself thinking "What didn't I know about them??". They will post stuff like:
My clothes just ripped, and I don't know how it happened.
Picking my nose while waiting for my boyfriend/girlfriend. =)
P.E.R.I.O.D. This is my menstruation week! =(
Hungry!
My cat gives me the cold shoulder. He usually friendly, but now I wonder why he hates me.
I just saw this grandma tripped. It's soo hilarious! You should've seen her! I bet you'll laugh to her face too just like I did! Lol!
Guess where I am?? On a toilet seat, doing number twos...! Woohoo!
Usually their post is just plain uninteresting, mean, and gross! You feel like saying, "Why are you telling me this??", or "Do you seriously have to tell everyone that??".
Here's a thought: save those particulars somewhere nothing and nobody minds - like a diary, or you can just keep it all to yourself!
Well, there you go. These people, they're there... If you look closely, you'll never fail to find them!
