If you’re like me, you hit “ignore” every time someone sends you a request to join their Facebook group, help them with their Facebook farm, or take their Facebook survey. If you participate in all those things, that’s fine. I’m not judging you. It’s just not for me.
The funny thing is, for every legitimate group/page that exists, there’s probably 100 that should not. I don’t know what the founders of these tribes were thinking, but apparently they weren’t alone because they’ve actually got people to join them…in some cases a lot of people.
Here’s a handful of real examples from Facebook. (I’m gonna predict this is the first of many similar posts because there’s a lot more where this came from).
1. The “I Know I’m Not Going To Die in 2012, but I’m Still Scared” Page
you just know one of these 419 people IS going to die in 2012…
…and then they’ll realize they had a reason to be scared all along.
2. The “I’m the Girl, You’re the Boy. Text Me First or We Don’t Talk Today” Page
a few thoughts…
1. Thank you God I am not dating anymore!!!
2. Can’t believe a half a million people are on board with this.
3. If you’re a guy and you have joined this group, I’d like to punch you in the neck.
4. If this guy is your boyfriend, you should probably call him right now. He’s about to die in a car accident.
5. THANK YOU GOD I AM NOT DATING ANYMORE!!!
3. The “I HATE FACEBOOK” Page
2000 people hate facebook so much, they joined it.
AND they spent time on it searching for a fan page.
Now THAT is hatred.
4. The “I Hate Battery Low” Page
2.2 million people are fans of this page.
Those same people are also fans of the following pages:
- The “I hate being sick page”
- The “I hate getting mugged” page
- The “I hate it when a loved one passes away in a tragic accident” page
- The “I hate it when someone slaps me in the face” page
- The “I hate diseases” page
5. The “Shut Up, I’m Busy” Page
So busy, in fact, that I had time to join this page on Facebook.

Fess up folks, any of you a fan of these pages?

I’m thinking of starting “I Hate Facebook Fan Pages That Hate Things.”
That’d be a lark.
By the end of the day, maybe it’ll have one member.
How about “I Hate Joining Facebook Groups?”
Not sure what to think, but I got invited to join a group called, “Without Ice Cream, There Would Be Darkness and Chaos”.
Have you seen the “cause” page against children having mullets (as in the hairstyle)?
I would like to become a fan of not becoming a fan of every random thing anyone can think of.
I have 73 requests in my facebook inbox at last count. Most people wanting me to join some group. The only worthy group is the “I love ranch dressing” group, even though I know that you, in fact, do not.
All of these are real facebook groups recently joined by one or more friend of mine (i am not a member of any of them)
I bet I can find 1,000,000+ people who hate the KKK
i hate it when u touch an item of clothing and it falls of the hanger
If 65 Million People join, God will bring back the dinosaurs!
Yes, I live in Australia. And yes, I do ride a kangaroo to school.
When I go out looking like crap, I see just about everyone I know!
I sleep with one leg under covers and one leg out to get climate control.
I Join Too Many Groups Because Their Names Make me say.. “OMG, THATS TRUE!”
My name is_____ and I can never find a keychain with my name on it
IM SICK OF READING ABOUT ALL THESE RIDCULOUS GROUPS FRIENDS HAVE JOINED!!
I never grab the first straw from the dispensers at Maccas.
I swear I could understand Pingu as a child
