Hater Jueves: Facebook Friend Deleters

No, it isn't Thursday, but I've decided to hate since we haven't done so the last couple of weeks. We're sorry about that. Lucky for you all, I found a topic we can all relate to: Facebook Friend Deletion. People are funny and stupid sometimes. I like how they think they are making some sort of statement by deleting people from their facebook. Actions can say more than words. Facebook deletion can be interpreted as the following:

• "I haven't spoken to you in a long time, what's the point of reading your status updates?"


• "You probably know my mom, I don't want you seeing me tagged in pictures with my lame friends playing beer pong."


• "You're a psycho ex and I dont want you to know about my life"


• "I don't like you anymore and me deleting you means that I want you to know this"

Now, the first three bullet points make sense, but the last one is the point that makes me laugh the most. These people delete others in hopes of trying to make their deleted friends feel bad. If anything, it backfires and makes them look like losers. They took the time and energy to FIND you on facebook and go through the process of deleting. Instead of doing that, why don't they just come up to you and say exactly how they feel about you? Keep it real.

The cherry that tops this mess is when the significant other of the person that deleted you deletes you too. It's like they combined their loser-forces and tag-teamed you by surprise. I'm sure they also hi-fived and said someting along the lines of, "Yeah! Now when she signs on, she'll see she is missing not one, but two friends! That'll show her!" I'm sure that while this happens, these two are wearing matching sweat pants since they've let themselves go. That's just what losers do.

So be a winner and learn proper facebook etiquette. If you don't like someone anymore, either you confront them about it, or let their status updates fade into obscurity and wait for THEM to delete you. Don't be an animal salvaje, didn't your mother teach you right?
