Did you know that people can just add you into groups on Facebook, without your knowledge and/or permission? This is something that I recently discovered by being added to two different groups within the past month. At first I was okay with it, but then I started getting 100 updates from said groups. Per hour.
I feel like it is the real-world equivalent waking up to 1,000 strangers in your living room, having been invited there by one pseudo-friend. You have something in common with each of them, like say you're all going to be sister missionaries, but at the same time these people are still strangers, they are invading your personal space, and every 15 seconds someone says something really long-winded, pointless, and attention-seeking (I know, you'd think that these would definitely be my kind of people, but they are not).
It is, in a word, annoying.
I guess what these so-called friends are saying when they add me to some stupid group is that they don't want to be friends with me on Facebook anymore. At least that's the message that I am getting loud and clear.
I'm not sure which is sadder, the fact that I am too lazy to figure out how to get out of this new group (I already removed myself from the first group to which I was unwillingly added to) or the fact that being added to these new groups hasn't chased me off of Facebook.
