'Its a Status - Not your Diary'... I think we are all guilty of doing some of these sometimes, but remember that when you post any of the following others will consider you an absolute nob: 1. SONGS or STATUSES THAT ALLUDE TO YOUR RECENT BREAKUP: As far as things never to post on Facebook, passive aggressive updates against your ex take the cake. Not only will these make you look angry and desperate, but I can assure you they’ll be one of your biggest online regrets... 2. NEGATIVE POSTS ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE: Ladies, I know there are a handful of people in your life who annoy the bleedin' christ out of you, but even if your profile is on super lockdown, users who are your «friends» on Facebook can easily take screenshots or Copy and Paste your updates. And screenshots are forever... 3. YOUR HOLIDAY PLANS: If you’re prepping for the holiday of your dreams, it can be all too easy to post excited statuses and trip countdowns. But even if your profile is private, your personal details can still spread like wildfire. So, save the va-cay bragging until after you’re back with dozens of pretty photos. 4. CRYPTICISMS: “I’m so mad!” doesn't give us a lot of information to go on, or any way to help. It also screams 'Attention Seeker'!!! 5. YOUR CHILDREN’S OR YOUNGER SIBLINGS’ PERSONAL INFORMATION: Your little ones are oh-so-precious, so there are a number of things you should never post about them on Facebook. Avoid tagging their full names in photos or posting information about their school or extracurricular activities. Child predators can easily use this information to lure children into their web. Eek! 6. JOB NEWS: If you've just received a great new job offer, go ahead and text as many friends as your heart desires. But never post it on Facebook. Remember, you wouldn't want bragging to get in the way of a stellar letter of recommendation from your old boss. 7. GUILT TRIPS: Posting things like, “Make this your status for an hour or else you were not raised right or don’t care about babies with cancer” just makes people feel shit. This modern version of a chain letter doesn't help the cause. 8. PUBLIC EVENT INVITATIONS: Unless you’re looking for random users showing up at your home with buckets of beer, never post party locations on Facebook. Instead, message your friends privately or send a mass text. Your house-mates will thank you for it. 9. YOUR PHONE NUMBER: Chances are, you wouldn't hand out your phone number to a good percentage of your Facebook friends. So, you should never post it to your page. 10. COMPROMISING PHOTOS: I can’t stress this point enough: never, ever post your drunk/half naked photos onto Facebook. If you wouldn’t show it to your mother, don’t plaster it all over the Internet. 11. OVER-SHARING: Not all of your friends care about your farm, your stupid pet society, what you ate for lunch or your Mafia. Don’t post anything about the fight you had with your significant other, your boss, or your friends. Also don’t share personal information you wouldn't tell someone when you are face to face. Most people simply dont care and get annoyed with winy assed status updates about how crap your life is... 12. FEELING THE NEED TO ANSWER EVERYONE'S QUESTIONS: This has: 'I am desperate for people to notice that I am useful, knowledgeable, informing and a great source to all' written all over it. What we actually see is: 'I'm such an insecure twat I have to revert to answering everyone's crap questions just to get a look in'. Don't do it... Have you ever been guilty of breaking these rules? In short, behave online like you would at a social event. No one suspended the rules of polite society for Internet interaction. Having the ideal Facebook experience is possible if you don’t become a facebook arse. Know that there is a time and a place for everything, and facebook is rarely that... XOXO

Things women should know to stay safe: 1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do! 2. if a robber asks for your handbag, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you..... He is probably more interested in your handbag than you, and he will go for the handbag. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION! 3. if you are ever thrown into the boot of a car: Kick out the back tail lights, and stick your arm through the hole and start waving. The driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives. 4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc, and just sit (doing their cheque book, or making a list). DON'T DO THIS! A predator could be watching you and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, and attack you. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE. 5. A few notes about getting into your car in car park: a) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, look at the passenger side floor, and check the back seat. b) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most attackers surprise their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars. c) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the shop, or work, and get guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.) 6. ALWAYS take the lift instead of the stairs. Stairwells are horrible places to be alone, and the perfect crime spot. 7. if the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; and even then, it most likely WILL NOT BE A VITAL ORGAN 8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women, He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help" into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim. 9. Another safety point: Reported origin unknown: A woman heard a crying baby on her porch and she called the police because it was late as she thought it was weird. The police told her, 'Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.' The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way. Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.' He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes, thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls from women saying that they hear babies' cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night. If anyone has any more tips that could be added to this list, please feel free to add in the comments box below. Stay safe Ladies, XOXO |
