Five of my favorite Facebook groups

I won’t try to disguise the fact that I love the groups on Facebook. I may not use them for any practical purpose, but I’m all for joining them - that is, if they’re funny enough. Here are five of my favorite groups.

5. America vs. Canada - The count to one million

Nothing like a border rivalry in Facebook group form. At the present time, Canada’s group is ahead of the U.S.’s group by about a thousand, but I am confident in my countrymen (and women) to put us back on top.

4. I __________ my cell phone, give me your number

There is no link for this group because there are about a million different versions. The story goes, someone did SOMETHING to their old cell phone: lost it, threw up on it, drowned it in the toilet, sold it for drugs, lost it in a bet - who knows. The point is, they have a new phone now and need your number. If they are a good friend, let them have it. If this person is annoying as hell and calls you constantly, thank your lucky stars.

3. If this group reaches _______, I will ________.

No link for this, either, as there are a million versions of this also. Some have noble causes, such as “If this group reaches 100,000, I will donate money to charity”. Some are not so noble. Regardless, the premise is this - once a certain amount of users joins the group, the group administrator promises to do something. Usually, if it’s something embarrassing, he or she sets the number so ridiculously high that it will never happen.

2. Hey, didn’t I know you 15 lbs ago?

I’m really surprised that this group only has 14 members, because it is one of my favorites on Facebook. How many of us don’t know someone like that? You knew them in high school, and they were pretty good looking. You run into them two or three years later and, holy hell, what happened to them? The freshman 15, that’s what. But usually, it’s 15 and then some, causing them to look more like a complete stranger than their former self.

1. I thought you were hot until I saw that cigarette hanging out of your mouth

If you aren’t a fan of smoking, this has surely happened to you. You’re checking someone out, you’re saying to yourself “Hmm, not bad, not bad” and then… they light up a cigarette. Instantly, your dreams are crushed, and the bright future you barely had time to fantasize about is replaced with the smell of smoke. You just shake your head and walk away, never knowing what could have been.

Those are my favorites, folks. You will need a Facebook account to check those groups out, but while you’re at it, shoot me a friend request. And if you find some funnier ones that deserve to make my list, leave a comment!
