You received chain letters that asked for UNDERWEAR?! That’s amazing and hilarious.

What’s even worse than “let me post photo after photo of myself so you can all see how beautiful and thin I am. I really love me” is when they ACTUALLY “like” their own status update! Facebook really is very amusing sometimes. :)

Great things here, but one I found quite sad, was a person who regularly posted about how ‘you are all so lucky, you are still my friends, you survived the cull of all the boring people.’. Of course I got culled eventually, obviously far too boring, didn’t mind really, but such a nasty way of conducting things, and disappointing from a Christian sister.

I so agree with the cheap manipulation bit. When I was younger, way back in the day, they had chain letters: send a tea towel to the person at the top of the list, then send the letter to ten friends, and you should receive 24 tea towels!! I stopped obediently responding to chain letters when I realized I NEVER received even ONE tea towel/recipe/pair of underwear. So when I read these “please share if you love Jesus/care about our planet/are a decent human being” posts or emails, I think about the old chain-letter scam and just ignore them. I really wouldn’t have minded getting a tea towel or two, though…

These are great! (and a big reason why I disabled my Facebook account last week for a brief break). Number 5 and 6 really hits the nail on the head for me. And I think you could add “let me post photo after photo of myself so you can all see how beautiful and thin I am. I really love me” (gag). And I’d love to add to the “complainers” those who complain about their kids. That is so sad to me.
