Ending friendships/friends dumping you
Being dumped is pretty harsh, but being dumped as a friend is probably the worst. The only thing that trumps this is being dumped as a friend over Facebook.
As if dealing with your social life entirely over, say, text message isn’t bad enough, the bulletin board world of Facebook makes it all too easy to do the dirty and run away. Of course, you can still check up on your now ex-mate, see how happy they are without you in your life.

Facebook wouldn’t be Facebook without its many, many aps and groups. Applications, to give them their full name, add various functions to your main Facebook page allowing you to expand the limits of your life-affirming loves and hates.
Not only that but no matter what you love in life, there will be a Facebook group dedicated to it – the members of which, grinning away at you, will probably put you off your life-long dedication of what ever it is you love down the drain for good.
Groups such as, ‘I will go out of my way to step on a crunchy leaf’ don’t need to be a group. While ‘Go for a day without Facebook’ wasn’t much of a challenge.
Poke me
In real life, if you like someone, you think to yourself ‘they’re nice’. Perhaps you’ll even strike up a conversation, maybe if you fancy them you might buy them a drink. On Facebook, if you like someone, on any level at all, you poke them.
Poking, in the Facebook context, should not be confused with real poking. Please do not poke random people you like the look of. Poking on Facebook can be done by anyone to anyone for any reason, regardless as to whether they’re on your friends list. On the plus side, someone quite nice might poke you, thus flattering your ego and making you feel cooler than you are.On the down side, someone crazy might poke you. Really crazy.
