The Facebook Repost

How many of you, while scrolling through endless "I just entered to win an Apple Ipad, can you beat my score?" posts ever see the "But you probably won't re-post this because you hate children and people with diseases and are FOR any form of abuse."? What is the point? By re-posting a picture of some sad looking puppy, is that going to make a ripple effect in the space time continuum? No. The only thing that can do that, is a Delorean equipped with a Flux Capacitor. And let's be honest, there aren't too many Deloreans still around that can actually do 88 miles per hour.

But I digress. My point is, shut up. Don't think that because you're trying to take credit for someone else's cause, that you are all of a sudden going to brighten someone's day with a re-post. It's almost as bad as regifting. And that's something that you do to people you don't know. Like some kid from your church that was in jail for possession, but is now out on work release and is getting married, and you kind of know the parents and feel like if you don't give them a wedding present that they won't really get anything. Is that what you people that re-post this garbage think of us? IS IT???

Now you're probably asking, what can I re-post that will live up to your standards? That's a honest question that I will honestly answer right now. The following is a list of inappropriate Facebook re-posts.

- Find the cat is this pile of garbage
- Find the cat in this field
- That picture of the 500 lb ladies in bikinis
- Anything celebrity related
- A pet with captions that aren't funny
- A cause that insults my intelligence because I'm "too cool" or "don't care" to re-post and that I'm killing whales because I didn't take "30 seconds out of my day" to support your PETA cause. (In fact, I went out of my way to eat a triple bacon cheeseburger instead.)
- A picture from your kids' vacation (you weren't even there!! ex in-laws....)
- Anything blurry that involves looking close
- Baby mama drama
- Man hating sayings typed out all cutesy in a little square.
- Anything behind the scenes Twilight related crap.
- Someone else's tattoo. Heck, i don't even care about yours let alone someone else's
- "He died for you and you won't even re-post this because you hate (insert religions figure)"
- A picture of a nasty ho next to a crappy car. Unless it's just too hilarious.
- Liberal politics
- The same old Christmas pictures: I.E. - A lighted Santa with the white lights looking like pee off the roof onto the ground.
- A picture of a dog saying "I'm up to no good. Again."
- A picture of an eagle with no follow up information.
- Anything related to "I haven't had my coffee yet, I'm going to go postal."

I could just sit here and scroll through Facebook all day. But, I'd rather just say this. Please don't post STUPID stuff that only you and 3 of your hundreds of friends will get. Other people have to see your posts and we'd rather not unsubscribe to your feed. Because sometimes you say something funny. Here's the best tip I can give you. If it wasn't original, or you didn't have to think about it before or after you read it, maybe save it for your friend's wall. That we don't know.

Just sayin'.
