Facebook

[Otter Mii-kun]

I had a Facebook account for a few years, but as time went by, I was starting to get sick of the drama going on with certain people on my friends list. I was also starting to get jealous of my female friends list entries having wonderful boyfriends and already having children (in all cases out of wedlock). Things only got worse over time. I also hated that certain people would post chain status updates and post "shocking" headlines that turned out to be survey scams (a topic frequently covered by Facebook watchdog blog Facecrooks). Fortunately, I knew better than to fall for those sensational headlines, as well as the "Facebook will soon be charging" rumors that spread like wildfire every once in awhile with the claim that "it was even on the news" (even though no mainstream news outlet reported that such a thing would be happening soon).
I have enough stress in my life now as it is that I don't need Facebook to make it worse.

On the other hand, one of my duties at work is maintaining and posting updates to my workplace's Facebook like page. Although I do this under a different name account, I'm not too crazy about doing this, to be honest.

what I absolutely hate about it is that some websites require you to have a Facebook account just to access their service, as if everyone actually has one.

I hate it when people and companies think that everybody has accounts with a certain service or has access to certain things. By this same concept, I hate that every account confirmation system asks for your mobile phone number. I have a prepaid cellphone, but don't care to give the number out to anybody.
