Hellobee Boards

Oh my gosh I have a million BUT my number one Facebook pet peeve is when people post statuses that obviously want a ton of attention like…. “Oh my gosh, not again.” And that’s it. They’re just BEGGING for people to say “Oh my gosh, you poor thing, what’s going on??”

Ah Facebook. Pretty much everything you wrote in this thread is a pet peeve.

My biggest pet peeve (well it is three)
1) people who all they do is complain and are wanting sympathy.
2) Those who post "worst day ever" and then when asked they respond "I'll message you about it don't want it on here." well then don't post it!!! UGH!!
3) those who showboat their relationship/lives, especially when people know it is all for show and what is really going on behind close doors is not all sunshine and roses!

All of it?

I might get a lot of flak for this but... one of my biggest pet peeves on Facebook are people who use their LO as their profile pic... I look like a total perv because all my "friends" are little children and babies!

I cant deal with people who overshare information and cant stand people who have every conversation with their husband or live-in boyfriend on their wall, especially when they are both home. If you guys live together surely you can talk to each other in person?
I also dont know whats going on with those viral photos, in the last month or so thats all I see on facebook lots of viral photos.
Instagram is also way overused by my friends.

Right now, my biggest pet peeve is super judgey posts about ChickFilA.

@highwire: Agree with you 100% I hate the breast cancer "Awareness" jokes especially since they only involve women. My mom is a breast cancer survivor and I dont know why people use breast cancer as a reason to say and do weird things

@Mrsbells: My mother is also a survivor, so that plays into why I am so sensitive to that stuff.

Everything that has already been mentioned. I agree with @mrbee that fb brings out the worst in people. Snarky comments, status updates that beg for attention, and the updates that are clearly meant for showing off are my top 3.

@highwire: I totally agree with you on this one! I thought the inside jokes were so inappropriate..

Political wars are just silly on FB and so are frequent check-ins. Do I really have to know every night when my friend checked in to his bed!?

@Andrea: YES!!!! I'm with you.

I don't even go on facebook anymore because of all my pet peeves with it. It seems like the more people who get facebook, the stupider it gets (in my opinion). I actually stopped a few years back after I had to learn about my own sister's miscarriage on facebook. (And then she didn't want to talk about it...well don't post it to facebook!) Basically, all the things that others have mentioned.

1) "Vaguebooking"- those posts that say "_____ is so sad today" without any explanation.
2) Ultrasound photos. Sorry, don't care, don't want to see them
3) "Fresh" newborn photos- please wipe your baby off before you post his picture on facebook
4) People announcing they are engaged/divorced by changing their facebook status (before telling you in person)
5) Facebook pregnancy "announcements". Call your friends. Tell them in person. Then, if you want to post a cutesy-wutesy super cheesy photo of yourself with a jar of Prego sauce then go for it

@ninja: oh no, that is unfortunate about your sister ...

@Pink Champagne: haha, I agree with all of yours. Do people really take pictures with Prego? Omg.

PPeople who post pictures of things they just bought or their SO bought for them. Like posting a picture of a bouquet of flowers and saying "My boyfriend loves me." Or posting a picture of a new pair of shoes or a new purse. If I were to buy something last thing on my mind would be "oh, I should take a picture of this so I can show it off to all 700 of my facebook friends."

Also, people who check in at the gym every day or who post statuses like "just had such a good workout." Seriously? We know you work out and don't give a you know what.

I once got an email from an acquaintence lashing out at me for not publicly consoling her on FB about her mother passing. I felt bad for her so I wrote back apologizing, but I should have just ignored her and deleted her as a friend. Clearly she just wanted attention since she posted daily on her mothers condition and honestly we aren't that close and haven't spoken in years.

sooo many annoying things about facebook... I can't even list them. But it is like a love/hate thing ....

@Running Elley: I HATE THAT! Or like, "I just can't." COME ON.

@MrsTiz: I have a Facebook friend who had a quite prodigious boob job and every photo of her is of her boobs hanging out. She also had a lot of work done and she always looks like a drag queen. I keep her on my list for entertainment value. Does that make me a bad person?

I also hate...

1. People who all of a sudden are active on Facebook when something happens politically that they don't like (philosophical quotes about the healthcare act ruining government, etc.).
2. People who constantly "like" stuff like Publix, television, cheese, ceiling fans, the state where they live, etc.
3. The "if you really want to be my Facebook friend, like this status." I swear I have never once been defriended by somebody who has posted one of these, and I have never "liked" one, ever.
4. Pictures of wounds. Seriously, gag me with a mothereffing spoon. I do not need to see your fresh shin stitches or the piece of glass sticking our of your foot. Stop.
5. Misspellings. OMG the misspellings. The bad grammar. I just can't.
6. This is going to make me sound like an asshole, and I'm not suggesting people stop doing it, but I hate when it's somebody's birthday and all of a sudden my news feed is clogged up with 82 million "Happy birthday" posts because we have 82 million mutual friends.
7. When people post every single photo they took at a party/event, even the ones that are unflattering/blurry/thumbfilled/etc. Selective editing, people!
8. Facebook event invites, because inevitably there are people on that event list who rarely use Facebook, and you never remember to tell those who aren't on Facebook about the party, so then it becomes this weird exclusive thing.

I actually hate that so many programs force-post annoying shit like claiming deals, reading articles, etc. Why can't I read an article somebody else read without telling the world I read it? I don't want everybody knowing I read about Mariah Carey's awkward promo pose or KStew's cheating scandal.

@zippylef: ME TOO.
