there are people on my facebook who it would cause hassle if I unfriended them
so I just hide them.

Like potential pole students, they ask me about pole classes and then befriend me. I don't want to sack them off in case they get offended and don't join my classes, but one of them has the most annoying status updates I've ever experienced. I'll go and find one so I can share the pain

EDIT: here's yesterday's little gem:

See, I can understand the use of text speak
When texting. It kind of makes sense. It's generally easier and saves characters. But when conversing on line using a proper keyboard? FUCK OFF!!!!

Text speak drives me crazy
unless it's absolutely necessary. I don't use c, u and r as words, but sometimes I'll put pls or ppl to save characters if I can't fit everything I need to say in one text. I hate when people text back with "kk" as a reply.

Lots of people use Facebook on their mobile though
so it's a natural extension. Not that I condone it - daughter knows I won't reply if she writes in spk.

I don't know what this means

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 13 Apr 2010, 12:01, Reply)

It took me a little while
but I think it means "Where is my taxi? I ordered it ages ago, but when I called back they said it was 2 minutes away. They obviously needs a darn watch!"
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 13 Apr 2010, 12:02, Reply)

Where is my taxi, I rang it ages ago, rang back and got told it would be two minutes.
They obviously need a watch.

"Obv nd a dam watch"
What? Can anyone translate this?

It was applebite,
she has failed.
(PsychoChomp, Tue 13 Apr 2010, 12:17, Reply)

It was mine.
But it isn't anymore so technically I haven't failed.
I was reading the 'nd' as 'and' rather than 'need'
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Tue 13 Apr 2010, 12:25, Reply)

I did that initially
stupid chavs, making me doubt myself

ringing and texting on a cucumber?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 13 Apr 2010, 12:02, Reply)

I thought it was cookie
but I don't really get the context. How do people ring you on a cookie? Or is that the name of the new LG phone?
