Vocabulary: "Refreshbooking"
By Africanlegend.
Refreshbooking: The process of camping out on Facebook waiting for new activity to occur while your life flashes by.
It happens when there has been no activity on Facebook for a while and, instead of moving on to greener pastures, you decide to create menial tasks in the hope that when you are done, there will be newly posted material for you to stalk. The process culminates with hitting the refresh button on your browser or the "home" option on your page to refresh your notifications. Refreshbooking is one of the most common signs that you are addicted to facebook and that you may actually need medical attention (Read 10 more signs you are addicted to Facebook).
The Process:
1. Log on to Facebook.
2. Scroll up and down your home page to check your friend's updates, pictures and any other notifications. Respond accordingly.
3. Open Facebook chat. Chat until everybody interesting leaves and you are left with "that guy you pretended to remember from high school."
4. Scroll up and down your home page for any new updates.
5. Hit "home" or refresh on your browser just to make sure.
6. Ignore a text on your phone soliciting real social interaction.
7. Open alternate webpages to read a generic article on why you suck at dating and breaking news on Yahoo about the 35th woman coming out claiming to have had shenanigans with Tiger Woods.
8. Switch back to Facebook and repeat steps 2 to 5. If you still find nothing, repeat indefinitely.
Signs you are dealing with a serial Refreshbooker.
- They click "like" on each new picture you post the very moment you post them.
- They comment on your status 0.2 seconds after you post it.
- Sending them a message on Facebook gets a response faster than when you text them.
- They are not available on chat (appear offline) yet they mysteriously respond VERY quickly to anything new you post.
- When you log on to Facebook, your chat box flashes faster than your page loads causing you to suffer a mild heart attack.
What to do if you know a serial Refreshbooker.
Call the police! They are HIGHLY dangerous. In fact, there is a very good chance you are dealing with a serial killer. Contact PSK and she can enroll them in her "Serial Killer Seminar" so at least they can be responsible, well adjusted Serial Killers.
