Facebook is such a waste of time
Posted: January 31, 2010 Filed under: Facebook 7 Comments »How many hours have I wasted on that stupid site? Checking out other people’s lives without living my own, and feeling down because everyone else is having such a good time … (Yes, I know it’s all for show … but still).
Even with a switch to Facebook Lite (no Fishtanks, no Tetris, no quizzes about people I haven’t seen for years), I have still managed to fritter away countless, valuable hours of my life. Facebook is a WMP – a weapon for mass procrastination.
So, I’ve decided … I’m going to start a FB diet. I’m only going to allow myself one look a day … I know this may still sound a lot to some people, but I really think I have some sort of FB (maybe even Internet?) addiction going on: I currently check the site about 20 or 30 times a day, so going cold turkey would be unachievable, I fear.
I’ll let you know how I get on.

But, even I was shocked … not in a morally outraged way, I hasten to add … but in a very surprised kind of way when I read on my Facebook newsfeed that one of my ‘friends’ had joined the group “All women should take it up the trumper” (!)
I was surprised that my friend (actually an acquaintance I last saw about 20 years ago) would want to reveal the specifics of what she likes to do in the privacy of her bedroom to all and sundry. Why does she feel the need to tell everyone that?
Very strange.
