Fuck you facebook
I thought I would finally give in and create myself a facebook because, well, that's just what you do, isn't it?
So I followed all the steps, and I created an account and then I did that funny little step that lets you log into your hotmail account so you can add friends from your address list, and that all worked okay and then I went to get the confirmation email from my EMAIL account and I followed the link and it authorized the account and found all my friends and it goes over to this massive screen saying 'here's some people you might now' and I start adding all the people I know and meanwhile I'm looking at my hotmail account and all these messages are popping up saying 'So and so has added you as a friend' and I'm like, okay, this is straight forward enough. Why have I avoided this for years?
And then, I'm halfway through the list of people I might know (up to the 'M's') and a message pops up saying 'you can't do this until you authorize your account'.
What? think I, I just did this. So I close out and try again, following the link from the original email. Huh, it's managed to log into my account, but apparently, there has been a problem authorizing the email address. So I send a new email. Same problem. So I log out of Safari and boot up Firefox and I try and log in there. And I get a nice big message saying there is no account attached to that email address.
Really? REALLY? No email account with that name? None at all. You just sent me 60 bloody emails to that account. I registered under that email not once but twice. Oh, you know what.... this isn't worth it.
So sorry Emily and Emma for harassing you, I am not on facebook, because facebook is fucked in the head.
