Do You Do This Annoying Thing On Facebook?
Okay, I'm going to address something really annoying you guys do on Facebook. No, I'm not the Facebook police, I'm just letting you know you're being kind of a jerk.
What I'm talking about here is answering a request with something that has little to nothing to do with that request. Here's a simple example. A band guy will post saying, "if you're a guitarist call me", then underneath you will get serious responses like, "sorry, I play bass", "I used to play guitar but I sold mine", "I only play the jazz flute". Basically ANYTHING other than "yeah, I play guitar, what's up?".
Are you getting me yet? One more example, but more extreme. Someone will post "I'm looking to buy a truck" and there will be responses like "I have a lizard for sale". It's annoying as hell, then the original poster has to sort through all that unrelated crap to find the responses they were looking for.
I understand if you're trolling your friends for fun when things like this come along, but in most cases that's not it. What it is is a narcissistic tendency to say, "who care's about your needs, I have this to offer". It's ridiculous. Now, just stop it.
