14 Facebook Pet Peeves
Facebook…”helps you share and connect with the people in your life.” No doubt that is true. I have connected with family, old friends, former classmates, and lots of other people I would otherwise never be in touch with. Unfortunately, with the many positives of Facebook, come the annoying and often negative aspects of Facebook. I’m sure you have your own, but here are my…
14 Facebook Pet Peeves
1. TMI (Too Much Information) No one needs to hear about your bathroom habits, female problems, or details of your sex life. Unless it’s really, really funny…and then it’s ok!
2. People who “like” negative status updates So you “like” that I just had the worst day of my life at work today??? I think I may have to un-friend you.
3. Couple Fights Bashing your man or woman on FB because you’re pissed at them only makes YOU look crazy! And when you’re bashing each other on FB? Spare the rest of us and just break up!
4. “So in Love” Updates This is almost as bad at people who fight on FB. If all of your updates are about how in love you are, who are you trying to convince, us or yourself? We get it, you’re in love!
5. Body Shots People who post half-naked pictures of themselves in certain poses are only fishing for compliments. You know the difference between “I have my shirt off hanging with my friends at the beach,” and “Look at me, I’ve been working out!” You look like a douche!
6. No Profile Picture It doesn’t really matter if it’s not a picture of you, just have a profile pic! This 
is just annoying!
7. Duck Face/Kissy Face Ladies, this is NOT cute! There is no woman who looks better doing this than just smiling. Seriously, it only makes you look a little slutty. You don’t want that do you? Or do you? And guys who do this…I have no words.
8. Liking Your Own Status/Photo If you posted a status or a photo, you obviously like it. No need to “like” it again!
9. The Positive People I think it’s great when people post inspirational quotes and positive messages, but if that’s the ONLY thing you post, you come off as fake. NO ONE is that positive all the time!
10. The Hustlers You know who I’m talking about. People who are SO busy ALL the time! Yeah, you’re “on the grind” we get it. In the words of Christian Bale…Oh, good for you!
11. Avoiders Nothing is worse than people who won’t confront you about an issue they have with you in person, but will attack you on FB. Really? I just SAW you!
12. Changing Relationship Status Too Much Please don’t change your relationship status until you actually make a decision. Going from “in a relationship” to “single” to “it’s complicated” every time you get in a fight is ridiculous! And is it ever really complicated? You’re either with someone or you’re not.
13. Tagging Me in Photos I’m Not In Just stop! Enough said.
14. Fighting Under Someone Else’s Status There’s nothing wrong with a little healthy discourse between friends. But when it turns into a full-blown fight, it’s just wrong. Take it to your own page!
Ahhhh, I feel so much better. Guess I needed to get that off my chest! So there are my 14 Facebook Pet Peeves. Want to add a 15th? I would love to hear it, so please leave me a comment below! What’s YOUR FB Pet Peeve?
Just my humble opinion,
Pebbles
My pet peeve is when someone posts something that you have no idea what they are talking about. Everyone knows what lol, wth, etc means. But when a “grown” man posts everything in abbreviations that make absolutely NO sense it drives me nuts. You end up reading it 3 or 4 times and still don’t know what they’re saying. Also, what happened to commas and periods? Some sentences are longer than a paragraph should be!! Proper english people…we’re all adults, let’s act like it.
Mine is when I write on someone’s wall saying hi or something and they comment under it. No, you’re supposed to write on my wall!! I don’t want to have to go back to your page to read it! That bugs me.
My pet peeve is when someone writes an interesting yet vague status but doesn’t want to tell you what it’s about when you ask. I figure, if you’re willing to write a status for EVERYONE to see, you should be willing to share what it’s about and not leave everyone trying to figure it out.
Ok, so my FB pet peeve, as well as all of the above, is when people constantly invite you to events, Mafia wars, Farmville and the other applications like that! I mean don’t get me wrong it sure can be fun to play them but if I wanted to join, I would go out on my own to join! And the pokes!!!!!! Oh the pokes… Is it really necessary to virtually poke a person?!?!!? I don’t like to be poked in the flesh so why on earth do I want to be poked on Facebook!?
Just a thing on negative status givers – I have a friend who constantly talks ish about some guy, never has anything positive to say its always how he has been a d**khead and she should have known better. Again, those things do not need to be broadcast and certainly not on a daily basis!
Ok my rant is over too
My pet peeve is girls (cause I dont see men doing this) talking about fake b*tches and how they are tired of the BS but conitue to have that as there status. I mean Im all for hearing gossip but come on if you still have that many negative people in your life then there is something wrong with you!!! Get a damn life LMAO!!
I got one! How bout the MILLIONS, UPON MILLIONS of event invites and SPAM invitations you get on a daily basis? If the only time you contact me on Facebook is to invite me to a stupid event, I’m BLOCKING YOU! PERIOD
15. People who post words to songs. What’s the point? Especially if i have no idea what song you’re refering to. HATE it!
My huge pet peeve is when someone requests you for a friend that you haven’t seen or heard from in years, you write on their wall and neve get any response back. If you don’t want to talk to me don’t ask to be my friend!
My biggest pet peeve is now every guy out there thinks he has swag and every girl out there thinks she’s a 5 star chick and they feel the need to mention it in just about every post. Its funny to think that people can be so self consumed because to tell you the truth to the women out there if your a five star chick you don’t have to go posting it on facebook in reality who are you really trying to convince other people or yourself? Let’s not forget the guys with their ” swag” I’m just gonna shake my head at that cause half the guys that post stuff like that are broke living in their mommas basement so again who are you trying to convince? Let’s stop the charade people post like that don’t make you look cool it makes you look like an idiot lmao
My biggest pet peeve is wHeN p3oplE wRitE lIkE tHiS..WtF?..WhY d0 peOpLe fEeL tHe nEeD tO dO tHiS iS bEyOnD mE!
Ultrasound and Prego pictures!
Friend request-zero mutual friends. NO THANK YOU!
Great answers everyone! Looks like this list could have been A LOT longer!!! LOL
Love your site!!! You had me laughing and saying yep I hate that too!
Pokes! What is a poke really?
Why do people want to suggest you add this person as your friend and you don’t even know the person.
