I have a feeling that most of my posts are actually referring to one or two particular annoying friends I have rather than annoying things the general populace do on Facebook. But I digress from my original reason for writing a new post for my blog.
Something that has begun to really annoy the pants off me is the implied close relationship with someone. What I'm referring to here is people referring to their friends as 'sis' as though they are related in some way. It is one thing for people to be such close friends that they feel like siblings, it is another entirely to shove it down the throats of other Facebookers. Close friendship doesn't bother me, what bothers me is the implication that you are related in some way when you most certainly are not.
I don't even refer to my own sister as 'sis' on Facebook, however my boyfriend does sometimes refer to his that way; I have concluded that is to avoid confusing people who may otherwise think that she is in fact his wife (seeing as they share a surname and still live in the same household). Now that could be awkward for those who are unaware!!
In conclusion, please PLEASE do not imply relationships that do not exist. Lest you confuse someone so much that they begin to think that you are somehow your own grandparent....
