When I discover someone on my friends list sharing buttloads of asinine questions, I ___________. (Fill in the blank.)

If it gets beyond occasional, I don't have time for it. Then I "un"friend otherwise good people.

I've had to spend plenty of time deleting some repeats of shares/questions ..
I try to put up interesting polls (on topics that are varied indeed)

I'll say that there's a time where I did delete someone (for too many shares)
but for the most part .. I just wade in and start with all the deletes ..

I just delete everything I do not want to answer - have deleted a person once but don't like to so usually just the questions.

block/unblock them - it isn't personal against them but I really don't enjoy or have time for wading through dozens of questions that I have no interest in to find one that I do.

I also don't like people following me on soda that I don't follow back which is why I block unblock rather than just delete from my friends list. In soda's wisdom that is the only way to get yourself off their list and them off of yours that is available.

(I wonder how many people have got pissed at me to log on and find I blocked them until soda takes the time to follow up on the unblock ?)

At a place I once worked, customers would always ask where the restroom is. Of course, somebody remarked, it doesn't matter how large the sign was, people would still ask. But of course. Who cares where the restroom is, until they need to use the restroom?

I've found in most public places, if you are not too much in a hurry, and there's nobody nearby who is convenient to ask, just walk around the inside perimeter of the building. The restroom is almost always "right there" along the wall there somewhere.

Delete. I've only unfriended one person-for being a huge LWNJ. HUGE.

Drop them from my friends list. It doesn't mean I will stop conversation with them, it just means I don't like all the questions.

When it is predictably repetitive and time consuming, I do the block unblock thing to remove them from my list completely. On soda I don't believe in allowing anyone to follow me that I don't want to follow back. If I added someone knowing the kind of things they share that is one thing but if not as soon as I see they are wasting my time with nonsense that is what I do and it's no hard feelings against the person or anything like that. Not every one here is like me - focused. And my focus doesn't include mind numbing questions.

So in other words, the saying "The only stupid question is the question that's not asked," is not true?
