Default Know whats really creepy...

People that are on FB every second of the day, as if they are sitting there just waiting to respond or like peoples posts.

How on earth do they do it? are they sat there constantly refreshing or what and then how do they ever manage to get anything else done when they are tuned in to FB all day?

Addiction.

I was never as bad in the old days when you had to get up and walk over to the computer.
Not even as bad when I had to plug the laptop in, but the IPad is far too handy. Just sat here at the side of my chair waiting to be picked up every time I sit down or walk past
Not so bad on FB though, maybe pop on about 3/4 times a day to see what's going on.

Smart phones are how they do it probably, if you have the app on there then any notification or message pops up like a text

Yes people should always have their phones on them, you are probably one of those annoying people who always misses calls or takes 4 hours to reply to a text

I reply to things when I'm not busy, worst most ignorant thing ever is when people stop everything they are doing to answer texts or phone calls immediately.

And how the hell would you know about smart phones aren't you always saying you have a nokia from 2002 or something...

I deleted Facebook ages ago, it's just unbearable now. The only way I communicate with friends now is through WhatsApp and other mobile messaging apps, not social networks

I had to cancel my FB account. it was just too tempting to lash out at my idiot redneck family members posting bull**** about Obama.

Probably the smartest thing i ever did.

You guys see how bad i am around here. I can't handle Facebook. I don't have enuf self-control.

I only use Facebook like 5 mins a day, mostly to post birthday messages.

It's down to smartphones, I don't think the apps log people out when they're not being used so it makes it look like they are online at all times.

Both a large part of my work and virtually all of my free time involves this laptop, Facebook is always open on a tab. I don't interact with it every second but I'm certainly there.
