#1) Anything political, regardless of what side of the fence you’re humping
Example: “Republicans are selfish raccoons who want to keep everything for themselves.”
Example: “Democrats are icky communists who hate The Constitution and everything it stands for.”
While a select group of your friends may “like” what you’re posting, chances are, they are the same people over and over again. They agree with you; we get it. Meanwhile, your silently annoyed friends wish you would shut up altogether. By all means, continue posting what you believe in, but know that others will find it hard to continue liking you as a human being.
#2) Pictures you take of yourself in a bathroom mirror
If you are over the age of 18, this is completely unacceptable. I would argue it is completely unacceptable for anyone to post these, but I’m giving the youngsters a break. They don’t know any better. You do. It looks completely ridiculous.
#3) Passive-aggressive or ambiguous status updates
Example: “Why do you have to be like this? You aren’t hurting anybody but yourself.”
Example: “Wow, really? I don’t even know what to say.”
How about sending a personal email – or better yet – talking to the person face-to-face instead of forcing the rest of us poor souls to read it. Shudder.
#4) Obvious life lessons that insinuate the rest of us are stupid
Example: “Live life debt-free and you’ll be happy with beautiful rainbow stars in your eyes for the rest of your fabulous life!!!”
Example: “Relationships are give-and-take, if someone is doing all the taking and none of the giving, it’s time to move on!!!”
You may think you’re Ghandi, but the rest of us learned what you just discovered 10 years ago.
