Urbandictionary states the following about Facepalm: "A spontaneous reaction to an amazingly stupid statement, where the face of the listener or reader meets with his/her palm in a smacking manner". And according to wikipedia "A facepalm is a gesture used as an expression of embarrassment, frustration, disbelief, disgust or general woe".
There have been quite a few occasions on which i was forced to do a Facepalm myself while on Facebook so i decided to write about some facepalm situations commonly witnessed on Facebook. The need for addressing the facepalm situation came about after i had read numerous insanely dimwitted Status Updates, viewed photographs and went through the comments left by my friends and their friends and their friends and so on, all the time feeling compelled to ask the only logical question, "WTF is wrong with you all"?.
From plain silly to mind numbingly stupid Status updates, Provocative and Socially Compromising pics, whenever i log on to Facebook i can't help but feel that people are getting moronic by the second, i mean first they pose in their underwear, post it on facebook for others to admire and comment and then complain about their privacy being invaded. Hello, if you want Privacy then stop inviting stalkers via a drool fest of your pictures. If you really are hungry and desperate for attention and are so willing to go to these extreme lengths for it, seek mental help rather then covering up your attention deficit syndrome.
Here are some common Facebook Facepalms i see most often:
Self Porn Portraits ( Don't invite Stalkers and for teens stop inviting pedo's)
Minute details in Status Updates ( Nobody wants to know when you went into the bathroom and for what)
Adding your boss to your friends list and complaining about your job (Classic Facepalm)
Gossiping about coworkers (Another vintage Facapalm)
Discussing your work related projects (Simply stupid, you know you have a "send private message" option for these kinds of things)
Discussing other employment opportunities ( How dumb can you be?)
Adding your immediate family members to your friends list and discussing your sex life (They don't need and want to know how you get your freak on)
The list can go on for very long but i seriously doubt it will have any effect on anybody because if it could Einstein wouldn't have said "There's a limit to everything but there's no limit for human stupidity".
