wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) Seriously?! Ok, this is my status: So on the radio this morning they had their impossible question. Without googling see if YOU can answer it. (be honest, don't Google, lets see if anybody knows- if you Google don't post the answer! Let people think!) Every year this happens to about 14,000 people, what is it? and this is the exchange between the argumentative one and myself:(erased pix and names) (argumentative one)I think there could be many answers to such a general question. I think its pointless to post something like this45 minutes ago · Like (me)When I googled it, the answer the radio station is the same that I got. I thought this would be a fun start to the day but yeah, I cheated LOL 15 minutes ago · Like (argumentative one) I goggled it too "14000 people annually". I got numerous things. Again, I don't see the point of statuses like this3 minutes ago · Like (me) I put in "What happens to 14,000 people annually" It was the first thing that popped up. I just thought it would be fun, ya know? SERIOUSLY?! Ugh, I am about to delete the whole thing. Good grief if you don't like my status IGNORE IT. It was just supposed to be a fun status. :rant: Edited August 18, 2011 by wy_kid_wrangler04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyhomemaker25 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 That would be annoying. What's the point? I have many people who I'm friends with and I don't always like their status updates. For the most part I just scroll past. That seems like something silly to argue about. I think you should say, "I put it out here for a little fun, so sorry I ruined your whole entire day!" :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhonda in TX Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 How about a status of "I find that some people don't have a fun bone in their body." Good grief. Get a life, people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueinNC Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Do you have the option to delete just argumentative one's posts and your answers to her posts so no one can read them? Can you just delete argumentative one from your friend's list?::D: ps. I just had to google for the answer!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolehall Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I'd probably be tempted to say "Well, you don't have to see the point...it's MY status and I'll type what I want!!" and then I'd have to follow it up by a winking smiley to try to keep them from getting mad, lol, because I'm wimpy like that.

KnitWit Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 This is where FB makes me feel like the Wizard of Oz...DELETE, DELETE, DELETE. I don't need argumentative friends on FB. LOL!

DusksAngel Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I have finally gotten to the point that I just delete those comments. If it makes them upset, oh well. I don't need their negativity. And I had to go google it. That's just wild! :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I just googled it and nothing came up for me.....except this thread LOL.

elegantlion Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 It takes more effort to post on something you find annoying instead of just ignoring it. Sheesh. I'm crabby a lot lately, but I know how to not spoil the fun for others. I have no clue as to the answer to the question. I'm off to goggle, but won't post here. :D Ironically this thread is already in the top ten google answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Florida. Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I googled "happens to 14,000 people annually" and didnt get this thread. I'm pretty sure I got the answer though. ;) You don't have to unfriend someone to delete their comments. I would use that delete comment option.

Night Elf Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I wouldn't erase it because that gives the poster power. He/she could cause you to erase anything then. Why bother even having a facebook? Shoot, I'd be snarky as heck. I'd post: Ouch! Consider me reprimanded. And then I would start posting a status every hour or so on really mundane things. Just finished a load of laundry. Read 2 chapters in book. Did you know the traditional scientific name for donkey is Equus asinus asinus, but it's Equus africanus asinus when it's considered a subspecies and Equus asinus when it's considered a species?

Maybe you should "reward" Mr/Ms argumentative by setting your privacy settings so they don't see any of your status updates. Right after you throw him/her a snarky reply! :D Someone didn't get enough coffee this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibraryLover Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 My FB is for fun and sharing. When I first got an account I deleted something and privately messaged the person why. Never happened again. A few months ago I thought someone was out of line, deleted it, pm'd her and then posted on my wall that I don't host arguments. I found it works to be direct. I don't mine a bit of interesting discussion, but if you pick a fight, or whatnot, I will delete it and pm you why. Nobody seems to mind my "rules". Of course, I don't friend you if I don't know you and like you. That helps. It's an odd technology and I don't mind being perfectly clear about my social networking "needs" . ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfunnybunch Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I'd just have ignored the comment in the first place. You can *never* win a debate with someone like that. I had to Google it. :lol: Seriously? That's a lot of people! Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertDweller Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 When someone posts something on my wall that I don't like, for whatever reason, I delete it. My FB. My wall. I have even deleted things my mom has posted. If the person gets offended, I'm sorry, but I want to have some control. Deleting is the easiest way to do that.

Unicorn. Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Nah, don't delete the thread. Then they will read it and see that others think they are mean and cranky. I handle people like that on FB by just not commenting back to them after the first cranky remark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibraryLover Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I love when people post about the mundane. I have a friend who reports the number of eggs her chickens produce each day. I enjoy knowing you've done your laundry or didn't miss your connecting flight. Tell me what books were waiting for you in the ILL shelf. I was born for this age. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlifemom Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Well I got that one wrong. :blink: I typically ignore it when someone posts something like that on my statuses, statii, oh nevermind it's status updates. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCyndiGirl Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Correct response to argumentative one: Gee, who peed in YOUR cornflakes today?

LeslieAnneLevine Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 He's just mad he didn't get the answer! He didn't understand that it was supposed to be a fun guessing game. The fact that it could possibly be a number of things was kind of the point! After I googled it I realized I did just see an article on that the other day, but it didn't help, I still needed to look it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arghmatey Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I believe the point is to show you how intelligent and deep-thinking they are--OBVIOUSLY moreso than anyone who would be silly enough to post such a *meaningless* post. ::eyeroll:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
