Hey, Facebook users! Why don’t you do me *this* favor?

Have you seen this all over your Facebook feed?

Please do me a favor and move your mouse over my name here, wait for the box to load and then move your mouse over the “Subscribe” link. Then uncheck the “Comments and Likes”.

I would really rather that my comments on friends and families posts not be made public, thank You! Then re-post this if you don’t want your every single move posted on the right side in the “Ticker Box” for everyone to see!

I’m posting this not only for myself, but also so that my friends and family will know to ask others to do the same if they would not like their every move on facebook noticed. Thanks!

I would like to give you my version…

I would really rather that my comments on friends and families posts as well as everything I post on Facebook be made public because THAT’S WHY I POSTED IT ON THE GODDAMN INTERNET, thank you! Then re-post this if you have so little basic intelligence that you not only can’t adjust your privacy settings on Facebook yourself, you have to manually ask your friends to do it one by one for you (which has the be the saddest thing I’ve heard of) and you think your friends are equally clueless. Your every single move wouldn’t be posted on the right side in the “Ticker Box” for everyone to see no matter what check box I click off if you were smart enough to set up some lists and privacy settings! Not to mention, what the flaming hell are you doing posting things online that you don’t want people to see?

I’m posting this not only for myself, but also so that my friends and family will know to laugh at others who think that posting this isn’t idiotic. Thanks!

Feel free to share…

    Not to mention that telling me to unsubscribe to your updates just makes me think you have something to hide… and therefore makes me that much more unwilling to do it…

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. Couldn’t have said it better myself!
