I'd be annoyed as well.</p> <p>I never understood the poking thing either. My cousin's wife always posts about how she's the queen of poke wars, but I've always just ignored them. If you want to get my attention, than say hi or something.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pokes-on-facebook#post-344977 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 15:01:37 +0000 tororojo 344977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't poked in years! Not since before the newsfeed came around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pokes-on-facebook#post-344801 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 13:54:14 +0000 Mrs. Pen 344801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beyond2: generally you return the poke... but then the poking war ensues.</p> <p>I think it's terribly pointless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pokes-on-facebook#post-344791 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 13:51:38 +0000 Beyond2 344791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So is there poke etiquette? Should I be returning the poke? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pokes-on-facebook#post-344696 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 13:00:22 +0000 Alivoo01 344696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed on just another way to say hey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pokes-on-facebook#post-344661 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 12:43:44 +0000 JoJoGirl 344661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pokes started waayyyyy back in the day, like it was one of the original features on FB.. yeah i think it's just to say "hi". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pokes-on-facebook#post-344646 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 12:36:07 +0000 DpeachLu 344646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: I would poke her back on fb as well. lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pokes-on-facebook#post-344626 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 12:22:35 +0000 mrs. bird 344626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have no idea! i don't get them. there is a girl that 'pokes' DH, kinda makes me wanna poke her back, with a closed hand... in her face! kidding! kind of ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pokes-on-facebook#post-344617 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 12:16:32 +0000 DpeachLu 344617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When someone pokes you its private - no one else can see the poke. I think it is supposed to be taken as an actual poke.. like poking someone in real life. Maybe their way of saying hello. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pokes-on-facebook#post-344594 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 12:05:36 +0000 Beyond2 344594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is the purpose of a poke on Facebook? I have one from my aunt, a guy I went to high school with and a girl I talked to about home birth. Not sure what these people have in common! </p>
