The 12 Most Annoying Types of Facebookers

I especially hate 'The Chronic Inivter"

My least favorite was the chronic inviter, but now it is the paparrazo, ever since my second grade class picture appeared!

definitely the chronic inviter is my biggest pet peeve.

Seeing as I'm kind of on the outs with Facebook (ever since I learned that when you break up with someone in real life, the fact they're still on your Facebook won't change...)

Anyway, the Friend Padder (1,000+ "friends"?), Let-Me-Tell-You-Every-Detail-of-My-Day-Bore, TMIr, and Chronic Inviter annoy me most. I've had to ignore so many invitations from people because it gets to be too much. And worse enough one of my friends has to update his status literally every hour or so - "going to work", "working from 10 - 7", "bored at work", "going to lunch". (I swear, he should get a twitter and be done with it!)

my pet peeve is the first one-the person who must announce what they're doing every five minutes.

So, after we eliminate all 12 types of facebookers, what's left to post on there?

They have a quiz you can take to see which one of the 12 you fall under. (Funny enough, I didn't fall under any, considering I felt I was guilty of being one of those at some point in my life).

I think they should have added something about the friend who has to like or comment on everything. (I have a friend who does that and it annoys the heck out of me)

What do you mean?

The TMIers or post every moment of the day really dont bother me that much. To each their own. We are all guilty of it in some way at some point. The new game results always showing up on the home page is annoying as well as who just bought a cow or what did they just drink etc.

I'd be fascinated if one of my friends bought a cow.

I have that friend, too. (Oddly he's also the "let-tell-you-everything-about-my-day" guy too. He's a nice person, just needs to lay off updating so much!)

Phyllis, what I mean is that you break up with someone in real life and chances are you won't run into them. Or if you do, it's not right away. On Facebook, they're still there. And the chances of seeing them are heightened especially because Facebook feels it's necessary to send notifications whenever comments or likes one of their pictures.

I especially hate the self-promoters. Maybe facebook is just used for that, and that's fine, but when someone is all about themselves, promoting themselves, "I have so many fans! What a great turnout! I'm in a play/hosting a chat/doing something with me centerstage somehow!" then it all has the ironic effect of making me ignore them.

I also hate people who are one-note about other things, either in subject or attitude. I know a guy who's a musician, and all he ever posts are things like, "writing a song today" and "doing a gig tonight". He never talks about anything other than his band. And then there are those people who are always cheerful, or always grumpy, or always posting some inspiring quote.

I've gotta go with the grumps as my least favorite (same for tweeters).

I have a friend whose posts seem to always be "Ugh!"

Or "Kill me now."

Right, like I have that kind of time . . .

I'm glad you don't have to pick a bunch of people for those quizzes anymore to see your results. I hated that because I felt bad for doing it.

Sometimes the lurker bothers me. I have a friend who doesn't talk to me, until she gets creepy with questions about things from Facebook. Instead of just saying "I saw this on Facebook, blah, blah, blah," she'll just come out start talking. Sometimes it's awkward.

Interesting.

I only have one Facebook friend who annoys me. This person is a complete and total self-promoter. It's constant. This person's plans are always the best plans. This person's work is always the best work. This person's spouse is the best spouse. This person's travel is the best travel... blah, blah, blah.

And there is a following of people who comment on each of this person's Status Updates as if they had never met anyone as spectacular. And that just feeds the ego of this person, who just keeps feeding them...

Perhaps if this self-promoter took the time to post a comment or two on anyone else's status it wouldn't be so egotistical!

It's become almost comical for me to watch.

I would be laughing too. That's also how this lurker friend of mine is. She just awkwardly comments to people. It wouldn't be so bad, but I know she is fake about it and nosy.

These kinds of lists always crack me up, because they pretty much imply the one writing it is a bitchy and curmudgeonly as the people they are bitching and curmudgeoning about. All the crap about TMI and all that stuff, and then to turn around and bitch about the people who DON'T post a lot of stuff? It's just stupid. It's really not hard to ignore the requests you don't care about (sorry Farkle, and LilBluePatchCove or whatever).

Addy, you know I was like, "Oooh, who is it?!" lol

Self promotion is annoying. I am sure I am guilty of about half of them myself, so I can't say too much. BE MY FAN!

Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

Perfectly Marvelous, why don't you just delete them as your friend?

I don't mind people taking the quizzes, but do they need to take 20 of them in a row?!

The Like button. I have a love/hate relationship with it. I don't mind when people like something. But when that's all they ever do, it annoys me. One of my friends (no one here) seems to only ever click Like and that's all I ever get from her. I see it on other people's pages, too. She can't take the time once in a while to post a comment? One or two words, for pete's sake.

LOL, JG2 - That's why I posted that 'PS'.

It's someone I know from a completely non-BWW aspect of my life. This person is a self-promoter in real life as well as online, and it's become sort of an inside joke with another friend. We just watch and laugh.

On Facebook, the very nature of the status update is a bit of self-promotion, and we all like to share things that we are involved with or thinking. There is just a way that people do it that crosses the line. I will have to go back and see if I can find an example to illustrate what I'm trying to say.

I wish there was a 'dislike' button.

I am deeply in love with the "Hide" feature. I don't have to weed through all that Mafia Wars crap anymore. I also have a "friend" (actually my friend's annoying brother) that posts videos CONSTANTLY one after the other. For no reason. Music videos from the 80s mostly. But I'm talking 10-15 one after the other.

And a girl I always liked 10 years ago is the WORST complainer. Every since status update, 4-5 a day are how much her job sucks.

Oh the quizzes!! Who the heck cares what tv character you're the most like? I mean, take the quiz, see the results for yourself, but don't announce them to the world, lol.

And for those who have to announce what they do all day - do you really think anyone cares that you just dropped your kid off at playtime and now you're going to the grocery store and then the gym. then you post that you're back from the gym, and what should you have for dinner? oy .

I've hidden most of them by now anyway~
