Four Facebook Faux Pas.

#1: "The Announcer."
"So, I've decided I'm getting off Facebook" Ever notice how people make a big announcement when they are or at least considering deleting their Facebook account? It's interesting to note how seriously people treat the "big decision." Just about everyone on Facebook has to recall that society functioned perfectly fine without the social networking site, right? In my mind, there's not really a need to announce you're deleting your account. But, is it common courtesy in the digital age?

#2: "The Mysterious One."
"OMG!!! Worst. Day. Everrrr!" I've noticed primarily "tweens" are a big offender on this one. Why can't you just come out and say what happened. If you can't do that, then why post it at all? Let's be real, you're just vying for cheap attention.
  
Mark Zuckerberg. 

#3: "The Stupid Status Poster."
"All out of cereal sad day." You felt the need to tell your two-hundred-something Facebook friends you are out of cereal? Not sure what annoys me more: the fact you posted this or knowing I wasted 2.526 seconds reading it. Count Chocula is the bomb, FYI.
  
#4:  "The Gamer."
So, you're playing "Pioneer Trail" and you need of hay or cedar incense? Perhaps it is that you are looking for neighbors in Farmville or running a crime syndicate in "Mafia Wars." Whatever it is, for the love of Mark Zuckerberg, find some way to keep that off the newsfeed. But, while you're feeding your sheep, could you figure out how to donate some of your time to me since you seem to have lots of it?
  
Etc: Few others left off the list.

"The Complainer." Person who always posts a status about how much they hate "the new Facebook."

"The Self Promoter." Person who promotes every detail of their life.
