Facebook For Old Folks

  • July 27, 2008

You know you're too old to be using Facebook when...

  • In your favorite movies section, you realize they're all in black and white.
  • 15 kids in a one room school house doesn't really qualify as a network.
  • The "Life List" app isn't very useful at this point.
  • You and your friends' statuses are only about failing organs or grandchildren.
  • Photo albums entitled "Around the Home" quickly exceed the number of albums entitled "Random".
  • You refuse to write on other peoples walls because you believe it to be VANDALISM!
  • Instead of your friend list growing, it dwindles.
  • Your most frequent "My Questions" include "Have you seen my walker/cane/dentures?" or "Who stole my pudding?!"
  • You are a firm believer in the Curse of the Top Friends...
  • You answer yes to every "Have you ever..." question.
  • Your nurse refuses to be your friend and has gone as far as to block you.
  • You're scared of the Mob Wars application.
  • You want to print your Bumper Stickers to put on your power chair.
  • There is hardly ever a relationship status update on your homepage.
  • You forget the answers to your own quizzes.
  • You're scared of what your grandkids will see on your Facebook.
