If you're selling something (body wraps, Avon, etc), posting nothing but religious stuff or politics, or sharing 5000 stupid pics, I hide you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-865199 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:33:30 +0000 jh524 865199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I block people I don't talk yo much that annoyingly post everything they're doing. Glorified bragging is what I call it. ID delete them if I could but don't want to be rude. Actually I have deleted people and then it's awkward when you see them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-865146 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:14:58 +0000 Mrs. Pen 865146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarbear: yes. Those drive me nuts. I have a distant cousins who shares a million photos quotes/memes a day and never anything about her actual life. But I can't exactly unfriend her :-P</p> <p>@Mrs. Twine: oh good lord. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. I actually think Ellie looks a lot like you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-865097 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 10:57:28 +0000 lovehoneybee 865097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've hidden most of my family. They've choked up my feed with Farmville, religion and ridiculous politics (think birthers and every other government conspiracy you can think of..) There would be a ton of drama if I outright deleted them, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-865096 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 10:56:52 +0000 fussygal 865096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I am alllll about having a highly edited news feed. I block people who post annoying pictures/shares, people who whine too much or just bug me in general :) some people aren't fully blocked, but I only receive their "important" updates. It makes Facebook much more enjoyable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-865075 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 10:47:18 +0000 Mrs. Twine 865075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't block anyone, but that's probably a big part of why I just don't like or look at Facebook pretty much ever. My whole feed is littered with "bad Obama/good guns," and snarky (and ANNOYING!) little "e-cards" and people playing Farmville... I have to spend about two hours wading... I mean, scrolling... through trash to see anything that might be worth seeing. Also, my ex husband is always posting things about "his" daughter and stealing all my pictures of her so he can brag about how alike they look (I don't really see it), what a great dad he is (no comment), and how proud of her he is. And sometimes makes nasty comments about me. So far I've been nice about it, but there are days when that takes a LOT of work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-865025 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 10:30:19 +0000 lamariniere 865025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't completely block people but I do hide them from my news feed. Basically, if I don't really *love* someone and they post constantly, they get the boot. I also despise humble braggers. </p> <p>The only person I ever completely blocked/deleted was a friend who became very cold and nasty to me when I was pregnant with my first. I felt like I didn't need to share any aspect of my life with her, and haven't looked back or regretted it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864908 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:48:25 +0000 jhd 864908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hide people sometimes, especially those who complain 24/7. I don't need that negativity in my life! I have blocked a few people completely...this means they cannot even find me on Facebook at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864904 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:45:57 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 864904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've blocked and/or deleted many people. I'm a three strike person. Three strikes and you're out. I've also deleted family... I have zero tolerance...</p> <p>I really wish I could delete my MIL. everything i post she either comments on or takes the pictures (ie family pictures) I post and posts on her wall. And her passive-aggressive birthday message really cheesed me off. Thanks for announcing to all of my FB people that I hate to clean. Witch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864895 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:41:41 +0000 MamaMagpie 864895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hide people from my newsfeed all the time! It's mostly been people I went to highschool with or have for whatever reason decided to accept their friend requests but don't really know them anymore. I feel bad just deleting them (although I do periodically "clean out" my friends list) and I only want people I actually care about to show up in my feed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864838 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:17:10 +0000 bunnylove08 864838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hide a childhood friend's posts because he was always posting about weed and things like that. </p> <p>I had a "good friend", we're not friends anymore, block me then I blocked her because I was posting about my pregnancy and she never asked about it, and when I did that, she ended up de-friending me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864831 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:14:31 +0000 BlueWolverine 864831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hide lots of people, including my SIL who is constantly doing the "With God's help I will survive this day" kind of BS attention-seeking posts. That drives me crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864822 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:10:55 +0000 luckypenny 864822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay so I'm seriously considering hiding one of my best mommy friends. She posts at least 5 pictures of her kid a day and 2 videos. She's always "bragging" about the latest thing he can do which he really can't. Sorry but your 15 month old isn't counting to 10. He's just making sounds. Ughhh. End rant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864808 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:06:56 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 864808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hide a ton of people for various reasons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864806 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:05:53 +0000 .twist. 864806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't block people, but I definitely hide people from my newsfeed. </p> <p>One of my old friends recently posted a photo (I only heard about it because my friends like to tell me about her posts) of her sitting bare ass on a toilet... in a display room.... that's... super cool I guess. LOL.</p> <p>ETA: I should clarify, I don't block friends. I have blocked a number of people who are not my friends and have no business knowing anything about my life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864792 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:56:38 +0000 Smurfette 864792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hide people from high school cause they requested me and I feel bad saying no, but really have no interest in seeing their posts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864781 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:52:42 +0000 Foodnerd81 864781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely. I don't think I've blocked actual real life friends, but I've blocked many 'friends' from high school or whatever. People who post judgey political rants (seriously, i cannot believe what some people post and want people thinking about them!), people who post the 'share this' things all the time, too many inspirational quote pictures, people who only complain.... Do I sound terrible? I just hide their posts, so we are still "friends"-- otherwise I figure they would just re-friend request me! </p> <p>But to be fair, I have missed updates from friends that I didn't block or anything-- sometimes you just aren't on for a few days, or FB has it's own way of ordering things on your newsfeed. I had people who I'm sure didn't block me who missed my preg announcement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864772 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:49:33 +0000 TheReelDeal 864772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have "turned down" the volumn on some folks, so I see less of their status updates but they aren't completely blocked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864767 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:48:09 +0000 avivoca 864767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tend to block people from my newsfeed rather than delete them if they are family or friends. If we haven't talked in a year, I don't feel bad about actually deleting them. </p> <p>I would love to delete my SIL, but I don't want to cause any family drama, so I've just made it so I don't see her posts and she can't see my pictures or comment on anything anyone else posts on my wall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864747 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:40:37 +0000 kiddosc 864747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've blocked a few people, DH's cousin you posts status messages that are nearly novel length and a few people who are too pushy with their hateful political/religious rants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864723 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:28:36 +0000 regberadaisy 864723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do but not family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864720 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:26:46 +0000 Mrs.Someone 864720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hide several people for various reasons. One friend says nothing but things about football about half the year. A cousin who complains a most of the time (and sometimes asks for money). And a few distant friends who are pregnant and due around the time of my m/c due date (plus I haven't seen them in many years). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864707 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:22:24 +0000 LuLu Mom 864707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hide people ALL THE TIME....I figured I have close friends who know who I block so they fill me in on anything I missed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864704 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:21:02 +0000 littlek 864704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I block people especially during election time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864684 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:12:24 +0000 kml636 864684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have many people blocked. These are people that constantly put political/religious stuff out there (like what happened in this case). Or people that I want to delete but "can't" because of the drama. </p> <p>Sometimes I do check on their pages... to see what is going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864673 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:09:26 +0000 looch 864673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hide people as well... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864601 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 07:35:59 +0000 loveisstrange 864601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I hide people that annoy me but it would be too much drama to delete completely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864600 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 07:34:38 +0000 Pepper 864600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I hide people who post annoying status updates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864591 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 07:29:38 +0000 GrapeCrush 864591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Guilty! I mainly block people who post a million of those 'share this' pictures or 'if I get a million likes' posts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-block-friends-on-facebook#post-864585 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 07:24:38 +0000 Dandelion 864585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm about to remove my cousin. Everything she posts is a rant to who knows what and never gives any details about what she's angry about. One of these days I'm either going to outright say, "what's going on?" or oust her.</p> <p>I also removed my dad's cousin, because she posts the most hateful political post I've ever seen.</p> <p>I also removed my ex husband. Facebook is a list for friends and he doesn't act like my friend, so he was ousted. </p>
