Rant 49 - 18/2/12 Subject: Irritating facebook trends

Rant number 49


Back to ranting about facebook we go, and this time its the current trend for these 'what I do', 'what my mum thinks I do' etc etc things.

These type ideas pop up every now and then to flood my news feed. The thing is that a quirky idea of this type is like a lamp:

One in a room is a design feature.
Two in a room even works well.
Three starts to look a little bit odd
Four in a room looks like the product of a diseased mind.

Fifty is just mental (there are lamps everywhere now and no-where to sit.)
A hundred is ludicrous and makes the room all but impenetrable.

And this applies well to how people react to these things. The first is a laugh, the second a giggle, the third a chortle, the fourth a disinterested 'meh', the fifth a grunt of impatience, the sixth a groan of annoyance - and so on and so forth until eventual suicide.

But people are going to keep making them for weeks in a pathetic attempt to jump on the bandwagon, become 'popular' and to have their cool and individual (not individual at all, because its just a variation on someone else's originality) 'idea' shared across facebook.

To these people, I say - just stop. Go somewhere quiet and think about what you did. In-fact, how about you go and think of something original instead!
I hope this fad ends soon, its getting on my tits (and you all know how hard it is to annoy me...)

Rant over.

My own individual meme - enjoy
