Its time to quit Facebook if....

Too much is too bad. It applies for social networking too. You know its time to check into a Facebook rehab (well they dont have it yet but anytime soon....) if 5 or more of the below points are true:

1. When anything bad/undesirable thing happens to you, the first thing you do is put up the story in your status message(SM).
So as to gain sympathy from your friends...Please God, atleast for the sake of showing sympathy, make that cute girl write on my Wall.
2. Your SM tells the city you are traveling to even before you are there.
Mumbai calling. Hello Pune. Ahmedabad, I'm here. Chennai is gonna be fun.
3. Rather than calling up and wishing your mom/dad/bro/sis on their birthday/wedding anniversary, you put up SM
Happy birthday Mom. I luv u. Wishing a happy birthday to the sweetest sister in the world.
4. No matter how stupid party u have been to, no matter how badly it sucked, u make it a point to click a pic wid a phony smile on your face and post it on Fb as soon as you get home.
Accompanying SM ' The F***ing best party in a long time.
5. Whenever you go for a trip, you take a solo pic in all possible places and in all possible positions(under the tree, hanging from the tree, standing on the edge of the cliff, sitting on the rock)
This one's gud for my Profile Pic.
6. Whenever you move to a new college/company, the first thing you do is to add all your colleagues to your friendlist.
7. You normally use the word 'Facebooking' in your conversations.
8. There are atleast 10 people(
Read 'Girls') in your friendlist whom you have never met in real life.
9. You hold your bowel movement every morning for a few minutes before getting out of bed so you can check if anyone has replied to the new SM.
10. Guy: you make it a point to like every photo posted by that cute girl in your class/office.
Girl: Not getting atleast 10(subjective) likes for every photo can cause you severe depression.
11. You mention Facebook as a channel of promoting a product/brand in your Marketing presentations.
12. You really believe Facebook is a channel of promoting a product/brand.


PS: Dont worry too much even if all of the above are true for you. Happy Facebooking !!!
