Well all of it really. The full text goes like this:- "May I ask a personal favor .... and this is REALLY personal .... only some of you will do it, and I know who you possibly are. If you know someone who fought a battle with [insert ailment, condition etc] and passed away/died/crippled/icontinent (delete as appropriate), or someone who is still fighting .... please add this to your status for 1 hour as a mark of respect and remembrance. I hope I was right about the people who will do it." Well it is not REALLY personal if it is just copied and pasted and they can't spell favour  Just don't understand the need to post this drivel. If it is "Really personal" then write a really personal message

Oh, that, right.
Personally I hate all copy 'n' paste Facebook updates, although recently they've been less annoying than people who seem to spend Friday nights posting links to YouTube videos for song after song.

If it is "Really personal" then write a really personal message You're not female are you  One of my friends has just posted up "When you feel like the world is against you [insert some rubbish here about being right and fighting back blah blah blah" and all I could think of was "When it feels like the world is against you ... you are clearly paranoid and deranged.. Go see the doctor quick before you harm someone". Girls just dont get it. Same with spam mail about virus's/chain mail that will cause you to die if you dont send it on to 500 people etc etc

The Americans spell favour like favor, so 10 guesses where this stems from

Oh, that, right.

Oh god yes, this is highly irritating and symptomatic of idiots - i've deleted people who do this including family members

I hate it when 'friends' post their illness, " not feeling great, think it's flu :-('
Let me tell you. No one gives a shit!
Horsing around's a serious business.

For a start it is an American bit of dirge and they can’t spell favour and it has been floating about for years. I also find it verging on being insulting. Surely it is just spam?
