swellmomma Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 The fruitnuts sleep at midnight, the nutbunnies dance all night. Which is why I never get any sleep. It is hard work keeping up with all the dancing nutbunnies while sneaking into the homes of the fruitnuts to gobble them up. Being a goat is extremely hard work.

GWOB Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Seriously! Just say what you have to say and move on. Don't post some random, cryptic thing, get everyone to ask what is wrong, and say you can't talk about it on FB. Drives me fruitnuts! Ummmm, you are already talking about it on FB! Either say the whole thing or shut up about it. Yes, I have seen quite a few cryptic rants on FB today:glare::tongue_smilie:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Wife Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Well, I have a friend who was trying to start a family but kept experiencing miscarriages. For about a year she would do these vague good news/bad news statuses. Those of us who knew what she was going through could understand them and I guess it was easier for her to do a big blast on FB than to tell everyone individually. She finally did get a "sticky" baby and posted the big announcement after her 2nd tri ultrasound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is called VAGUEBOOKING http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Vaguebooking And may result from a turn off on my feed or an unfriend if you do it often enough.

Farrar Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I have a college friend who I don't know that well anyways on my FB who is the QUEEN of vaguebooking. She did finally get better about it after she got married, so I have a guess that maybe some of the vagueness was about relationship stuff? Who knows. It was all too vague.

Completely obnoxious and reeks of middle school mind games to me. I once unfriended someone for doing this and they vaguebooked a status update complaining about people who unfriend without an actual FIGHT and then a bunch of other people unfriended her as well. After that, I didn't know anyone else who knew her to find out if she stopped doing it. But it was pages of, "Late night emergency. I hope we all survive this horrid night!" (2:00 a.m. posting with EVERYONE awake asking if they could help with anything and an explanation coming through about 11:00 a.m. the next day) "Being stabbed in the back can make a person suicidal or homicidal!" That first one was made me unfriend her. As it turns out, she lost a chicken to a coyote attack. And the second one was her 4 year old daughter telling her aunt she thought her mama was chubby. When a 4 year old does it, that's NOT backstabbing. :lol: I wish FB would concentrate on banning vaguebookers instead of making group running so hard. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word Nerd Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 The worst one I ever saw was a not-even-that-vague allusion to an attempted suicide. When people followed up, he acted like they were crazy to be worried and claimed they were song lyrics (though not any that can be found on Google) and he was simply being "ironic." It still makes me angry just thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mona100 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Sometimes I am guilty of vague postings but it is usually about work so I have to be somewhat vague. Also on my birthday, I usually post a song lyric by Nirvana "Teenage angst has paid off well/Now I'm bored and old". My uncle always gets a kick out of that one so I guess I do that one for him.

I think we should get them jobs as editors of the vaguebookers' posts. The posts have to pass the 4-year-olds' bluntness test, or else be edited by them. That would solve the problem.
