We all know these people. They litter our news feed, forcing us to be subject to their annoying ways, yet none of us delete them from our friends list. Below is a list of these people, and their defining features, so you can easily distinguish them, and decide for yourself if they deserve a spot on that friends list of yours.
The “liker”
This person pushes the “like” button on EVERY SINGLE THING you post on Facebook. No matter the content, this person gets some weird kick out of pushing that little “like” button below the comment box. Are they trying to show you how much you two have in common? Do they just “like” everything on their news feed, which means you’re not really as special as you feel? The world will never know.
The Status Vomiter
This person has one goal in life – to update you on every single thing that has happened to them, or to the people around them, or to the animal in the park earlier, or to their hot dog as they tried to take a bite of it, or the time that their earbud fell out of their ear as they turned their head. Make a giant list of anything and everything that you don’t care about, and chances are all of those things have been posted about. Nobody cares that your shoe came untied as you were walking to the bus stop, or that your pencil broke as you were writing your psychology essay. Save that for your journal entry, that way nobody has to read it but you.
The Ghost Friend
This friend is one that you had no idea was even on Facebook anymore. No status updates, no new pictures, and it’s been months since even a comment has been written by them. Chances are, they actually have a life outside of their Facebook account, but that’s besides the point. Fishing out the ghosts can only be done one of two ways:
1. An important milestone in your life is posted – you just graduated high school/college, you had your first child, ect.
2. You post something either extremely offensive, or extremely controversial. Your stance on abortion, your reasoning behind why meth should be sold in candy stores, anything to get them fired up enough to write a few lines in the comment box.
I don’t recommend posting profane things just to get them to write you comments. A simple private message would also do the trick. These ways are just a little more….exciting.
The Indecisive Un-Friender
This person will un-friend you, only to re-friend you two weeks later. Whether it’s a person that is trying to get your attention, or just someone who goes through terrible mood swings, this can be rather annoying. Chances are, you keep playing this game. Why? Because they are extremely attractive. That’s it, only because they are hot. No other reason.
The “One Word Wonder”
This is the most irritating of them all. Seen across all aspects of technology, and not just on Facebook, this person is infamous for seeing what you write, and feeling the need to reply in as few words as possible, and sometimes even limiting themselves to just single letters. Nothing is more annoying than spilling your heart out about a certain topic on Facebook, letting your friends know that you just had a heartwarming experience, only to be left a comment that only contains an element from the Periodic Table of Elements. K?! Thats all I get?! What in the heck does Potassium have to do with anything I just said? How frustrating.
I’m sure I missed a ton of people. If so, feel free to tell us what kind of Facebook friends you’ve seen in the comments below, and warn us of their annoying habits!!
