My mom messaged me on Facebook with a post like, "Hi Michael my beloved son I love you and I hope you realize that processed food is bad and you should eat organic."
Thanks, mom. I guess?
Do you get random messages from people you know on social networking sites? Like unexplained advice? :kakapo:
My grandpa, bless his heart, sends me conspiracy theory chain emails on a near daily basis. It's usually about how Obama is secretly in the Illuminati or something, I don't even know. I don't have the heart to tell him to stop or block him or anything.
Also recently I posted something about Deus Ex on Facebook and my mom commented "BE SAFE!!" for no reason.
My grandpa could make every single post in the "forwards from grandma" subreddit and no one would notice any difference.
It's anecdotes like these that really make me appreciate the fact that my family has the self-awareness to avoid doing cringe-worthy things like this.
I don't reddit but this sounds amazingQuote:

I hardly ever get any messages from people, so I couldn't say :p
My grandpa used to send me bigoted emails about Obama and all kinds of other stuff. Sweet southern baptist Jesus he sent those a lot. :mad:
MY MOM THREW AWAY ALL OF THE FOOD EXCEPT LIKE, THE APPLES. SHE MUST BE STOPPED.
Yeah, I'm not really into the reddit community as a whole, but the odd subreddit here and there is worth checking out in my opinion. Not every part of that site is like f712u, like most people who never have been there believe.Quote:

When my mom first got fb she proceeded to reply to everyone of my status updates. She does still post on quite a few of them.
You guys I have the ultimate sob story about this
My mom followed me on twitter for a while and then one day she got mad at me and unfollowed me
MY MOM UNFOLLOWED ME ON TWITTER
I have a similar story. An ex or something that was in contact with my mom ended up stalking my MySpace blog (which shows how long ago this is). Apparently this dude read a few of them and told my mom that, "Your son needs to relax." While I did tend to get caught up with stupid, silly stuff in high frequency back then, I still got annoyed. I thought I made a blog entry calling that guy out, but I couldn't find anything. Though if I did and deleted it I probably said something along the lines how it's pathetic that someone can be so hung up on an ex that they have to stalk their 20something year old son online.Quote:

I get the who's Bert sometime. although some of my high school friends called me Bert :p
No one in my family loves or hates me enough to do such things. It is spmetimes bliss being the forgotten branch of the family trees.
My dad used to make a fuss about the things I posted on Facebook. One time I made a status about some Baptist people or something, and he called me up in a RAGE screaming about how I needed to talk to him face to face if I was mad. And I was like, "Bro, no. I am not that passive aggressive. It wasn't about you, smurf."
My family members rarely contact me through facebook but when they do it's to tell me they like a profile picture I had like 2 years ago. :confused:
It's more like adult family members always feel the need to comment with some random question about your life that is totally unrelated to what you originally posted. Like "how is cat feeling today?" on a picture of me and some friends.
I think my stepmom is exercising every bit of self-control she has in order to not constantly give me pregnancy advice. And I appreciate it ever-so much.
I use a fake name of facebook and im careful about who I tell I have facebook
I constantly get Instagram updates from people. PEOPLE. I AM NOT GOING TO JOIN INSTAGRAM. EVER.
my dad is pretty bad on facebook. he has trouble typing and with computers in general due to health problems. so sometimes he will hit enter when typing out comments and he doesn't know how to delete them. once he wrote "cummmm n" and I just lolled forever.
so many posts about stupid trout from pinterest and trout.

Isn't that the point of FB? :p FB is for family members and real life friends, other internet networks are for e-friendsQuote:

I have like maybe four or five actual family members on my friends list. I use it for friends and to stalk hot girls.
Conviniently my sister is the only family member on my Facebook, so I only have one person constantly posting dribble. :p
my mom talks to me more about fb IRL than saying embarrassing things on my fb. at least that's not public so i guess it's better
and i definitely filter my public facebookings anyway. not posting any stuff that could be taken the wrong way (or about my drinking habits). that goes to the twitters
My grandmother has eight siblings, four children, and multitudes of grandchildren all over the world. My grandmother loves talking on the phone. I used to live with her, and she would spend hours calling everyone she knows, in England or Australia or wherever, talking into the wee hours of the morning.
But when it comes to me, she won't call, even know my number is clearly written on her fridge, she'll only post "hi n how are u and jo the weather is good here you must b cold" on FaceBook. :mad2:
