I came across this on The Oatmeal and thought I'd share it. It's very funny especially if, like me, you're not exactly a Twitter fanatic. The Oatmeal itself has a lot of funny stuff on it actually.
Ten things you need to stop tweeting about.

I don't tweet but I facebook and my pet peeve is people who post cryptic, but extremely dire statuses then decline to elaborate, such as:
Betsy's status: "I've realized I cannot live this way any more and I am making changes immediately!"
M: Oh no, what's wrong?
Betsy: I don't want to talk about it, it's personal.

Joe I know exactly what you mean. It annoys me as well. It's like "well if it's so personal that you don't want to talk about it, then why did you make a facebook status letting everyone know about it?"
What also irritates me is the opposite: people who air their dirty laundry via their facebook statuses and then later complain that everyone's in their business.

Excellent! I can still tweet about my endless, repetitive, and surely-very-dull ukulele practice! 
I agree with Joe too.
Jeremy Fisher has realised he's made the worst mistake of his life and doesn't know what to do.
And then they get a WHOLE PARADE of "oh no, how can I help? Poor you! Share with me your woe!", and they never once reply or even allude to it again. Bastards.

I thought this was funny, too. "Eighteen People You're Scared of on Facebook".

some people on facebook think they are REALLY important and that some people are REALLY interested in them.
I know I'm not important and that no one is interested. Though just recently people got pissy because I posted a quote from the TV show Psych and they didn't "get" it.

I don't really tweet about any of these things (for the most part). But everyone who bucks the annoying trends will just create annoying trends of their own. Reading through my old tweets I have a bad habit of announcing it whenever I'm doing something superficially incongruous. Like knitting while watching a horror movie, or announcing surprisingly appropriate iTunes transitions from ridiculously incompatible artists.
Makes me want to inwardly quote Admit It! by Say Anything and then punch myself in the throat.

It is so annoying when people have anonymous arguments via Twitter by tweeting things like "get a life" and nothing more.
But when I'm home I tweet about my cat all the time. I'm unashamed xD

I guess self-promotion is ok if twitter/facebook are your way of getting that stuff out there, but that becomes as irritatingly one-note as anything else.
A guy I know either name-drops or posts about his alcohol consumption. He's got a wife and kids--never ever mentions them.
LOL at "passed out in a plant"!
#12Ten Things You Need To Stop Tweeting About
Posted: 1/12/10 at 1:55pmEris - I hate that! Sometimes if a quote from a movie or song is stuck in my head I would post it as a status (in "" marks but I guess people dont notice) and will get a bunch of "is everything ok" "what happened" etc.
BroadwayBoobs: I'll give all of you who weren't there a hint of who took the pictures ...it rhymes with shameless
SOMMS: I knew it was Tink!
#13Ten Things You Need To Stop Tweeting About
Posted: 1/12/10 at 2:26pmWhat's funny is that it's not even a "bad" quote. It says "My name is Shawn Spencer and I'm working with Sophie and the museum. This is my partner Patty Simcox". The musical link just made me laugh and I shared. Big deal lol

How about...
You just need to stop tweeting about yourself?
