What is Phacebookphail?
1.
When Facebook (specifically chat) phails in any of the following ways:
1) You are logged out of Chat for no apparent reason.
2) Multiple copies of the same message you just entered are sent.
3) When you tab into another facebook page, and discover that all of your previous messages with the people you were chatting with are erased on that tab. Furthermore, any new messages received will not show up.
4)
a) When you are typing in a chat box and all of a sudden, the letters you are typing don't show up anymore. You usually have to click in the chat box to type again, sometimes you have to close the chat box or tab you are typing in entirely, and in extreme circumstances, you are compelled to hurl your computer/laptop/first-born out the window.
b)When typing on tabs THAT ARE UNRELATED TO FACEBOOK is rendered impossible as well.
5) When you start typing something, and notice that your friend starts typing at the same time as you (indicated by the typing icon where the green dot usually is). So you pause, to let them finish typing...but they don't finish typing. Ever. Usually this ends with one of you logging out, or facebook logging one of you out, or you calling your friend telling them to hurry the fuck up and finish typing, only to find out that they never were typing, or to hear them say "I was waiting for YOU to finish typing!"
Example 1:
Friend 1:
You are not online.
WTF
You are not online.
YES I AM
You are not online.
You are online.
QUIT SAYING THAT, YES I AM ONLINE
Friend 2:

Example 3:
*Friend 1 - "Yay I have 12 new messages from xoxFriend2xox!"
*Friend 1 clicks on chat box and sees an empty box. How disappointing...PhacebookPhail
Example 4a:
*Friend 1 types a long, heartfelt message, only to look up and see that NONE of the words he is typing are showing up...PhacebookPhail.
Example 4b:
*Friend 2, noticing that Friend 1 seems to be typing forever, switches tabs to a college application that he frantically realizes is due at 12 that night. It's 11:45, he madly types out a FULL 500 word essay on the common app site itself. When he looks up at 11:59:50 and is about to press "submit", he notices with a squeal of horror that...you guessed it...none of his essay has showed up...PhacebookPhail. Now you can blame Phailbook for you not getting into Stanford.
Example 5:
*Friend 1 begins typing a response to Friend 2, only to look up and see that Friend 2 is typing something back to him! Friend 1 waits...and waits...and waits...until finally it shows that Friend 2 has logged out. Friend 1 calls Friend 2, asking him why she logged out, only to find out that Friend 2 is just as confused as to "what on earth you were typing for 15 minutes"! - PhacebookPhail
