Facebook: No Updates About Las Vegas!

There are so many stalkers on Facebook.  I am not referring to strangers. Instead, family members and friends are stalkers.  I have made this observation over the past year.

I used to enjoy spending time posting updates on Facebook, but I noticed that as more and more family and friends learned and connected to Facebook, the patterns of stalking started.

Here’s an example:  I enjoy traveling to Las Vegas for rest and relaxation.  I am not a gambler or big time player, so I am very boring.  I do not do the the buffets, but I enjoy the ambiance of Las Vegas Boulevard.  Plus, I enjoy just relaxing in a nice comped hotel room or suite.

I used to post photos of the airports and sites in Las Vegas on Facebook…. up until last year when I had to stop that practice. Distant relatives would post, “Oooo can I go with you next time?”  “You didn’t tell me you were going to Las Vegas!  I wanted to go too.”

Once, I went to Vegas for no reason, but a co-worker who now lives there hounded me the entire time I was in Vegas.  She wanted to take me around.  But, I was staying in the beautiful Palazzo and wanted quiet time in that lovely suite.  I has hounded and harassed the entire time by this former co-worker.

I have a cousin who insist I visit his sister who recently moved to Las Vegas.  Well, that cousin is not hospitable.  She makes it known she is not interested in others visiting her.  Stop bugging me!!!
So, nowadays, I never mention Las Vegas on Facebook.  Folks are just too intrusive.

Attention Facebook stalkers:  

• You are never invited to join me in Las Vegas.  I have never invited you and never intend to invite you to join me.     

• When I am in Las Vegas, if I want to connect with you, I will contact you.  Otherwise, leave me alone!  No, I am not going to visit any relatives there.                                                      

• Why would I leave a nice hotel to visit a relative that I never visited when they lived in the same city with me?

Folks, mind your own business when you are on Facebook.  You rarely post updates, yet, you lurk on Facebook reading others updates, then have to gall to question other folks’ updates. Facebook has changed…. for the worse!

Don't Talk About It - Blog About It!

We all have issues and challenges in life.  Sometimes we need to verbalize and get problems off of our chest.  But, today, most folks do not want to constantly hear about other folks' complaints, whining, groaning and just outright bitching. 

Some folks simply do not get it!  They call on the telephone which is very intrusive and annoying.  You never hear from the whiner until they have something to bitch about.  They tend to be self centered and dominate conversations with their personal problems.  When I contact them for a chat, they do not respond.  So, I have effectively blocked those folks out of my life.  Last week, a person who is unsuccessful at work called me constantly.  She called when I was at work, while I was home resting, early in the morning and late at night.  Her goal is to saturate me with her problems.  But, I no longer accept her calls.  THANK GOODNESS FOR CALLER ID!!

Last night another former co-worker called me.  I had never chatted with her on the phone.  But, I went ahead and answered her call.  She bitched for 30 minutes non-stop.  She complained about everyone in her work area. She said nothing good about anyone.  Well, needless to say, I will never accept her calls again. 

Working folks need to go see a therapist, psychologist or even a psychiatrist to help them cope.  I am none of those, so I no longer allow those calls to me. 

What folks need to do is blog about their problems.  Blogging is not intrusive.  Others may even leave a constructive comment. The truth may hurt a bit, but give it a try.  Some folks cannot write, so they will not blog.  But, phone calls to me to listen to another person bitch, moan and whine is no longer an option.
