Ten of the Most Annoying Facebook User Habits

Facebook users are just like any other social networking platform and their users, they have good ideas and habits but they also have some annoying ideas and habits. Facebook has become one of the largest social networking sites and with that comes a variety of users and a variety of very bad habits. When you begin your journey on Facebook there are just some things you should not do or say, sometimes I think people forget that. If you want to make sure you are a good user on Facebook, there are a few simple things you need to keep in mind. Here are some suggestions about what not to do if you are going to be trending in the social media networking site we all know as Facebook.

Music is one annoying habit that the users of Facebook can not seem to stop doing. Sharing their favorite band or song is okay but then it gets into the annoying stage because that is all they seem to post about. Music videos are great but sometimes they can carry viruses and the music on Facebook has been attacked by virus software in the past. It is okay to have music on your Facebook, but the fact that everyone seems to have the same songs and the same bands on their posting gets very old. Music sharing is annoying to me because honestly, I do not care what song you like because it changes tomorrow.

Updating your Facebook to tell people about your morning routine is another annoying habit that users of Facebook have. Everyone pretty much has the same morning routine and I do not need to know when you are in the shower. Facebook users seem to think people care about them brushing their teeth or shaving, and this to me is very personal. I do not want to know the details of your morning ritual and I do not think you need to share everything about your life on Facebook.

Profile pictures are another annoying habit that many Facebook users have and this is mostly the teenage generation. If you have ever been on Facebook, have you noticed most people tend to be in the same pose for their profile picture? The typical Facebook profile picture is slanted with the camera angled at a high point in the room. Profile pictures used to be fun to look at because you had people in their environments being like they would be normally, but not now. Profile pictures seem to have become too ordinary with no real significance due to the lack of individuality in the pictures. I wish people would get over the hype of taking these types of pictures and just have a normal picture that represents who they are.

When you are playing a game through Facebook, you do not need to update your Facebook to show every little accomplishment you have done throughout the game. Facebook has many games generated for the users of Facebook and people seem to do nothing but update their posts to reflect the game accomplishments. Not only are the constant game accomplishments annoying because the game is meaningless, but it also takes a lot of room. When you constantly update your Facebook posts to show these game accomplishments, you are using a lot of room on your page and you can not actually see important information. This is annoying and I think you should only update your game accomplishments once in a day that way people can actually see more of you than just your new high score in the game.

Becoming a friend to someone you know you do not like or never talk to is another bad habit of Facebook users. I have noticed that you become friends with people you knew in school that you never hung out with or talked to in the first place. Just because people who went to your school and are in your grade are on Facebook, does not mean you need to become their friend. I used to get friend requests from people I hated in school and who always were rude to me, so why would I want to be their friend? People adding friends on Facebook who are not really friends is really annoying to me because it shows just how fake social networking is and how fake we have become as a society.

Accepting friend requests from old boyfriends or girlfriends is another bad habit people have on Facebook. Sure, it might be nice to say hi to that guy or girl you were in love with but this can be very unhealthy. If you are in a relationship with someone else, adding your old flame to your Facebook is asking for nothing but trouble. Honestly, this can be a mistake for many reasons like jealousy or maybe that person was just a bad influence on you. Adding old flames on Facebook can make your significant other feel very self-conscious and will lead to nothing but arguments and fights. My best advice is to send the person a message being civil but also saying you can not accept their friend request because they were your past and that is where they should stay.

Random friend requests are also an annoying habit of many people on Facebook. You might not even know someone but get a request from them because you like the same band or live in the same town. Why is it that people will friend request someone they do not even know? How are you a friend to someone that you have no clue who they are or where they came from? Getting a friend request from a random stranger is very annoying and is a bad habit for some people on Facebook. If you do not know someone personally, you should not be their friend because they could be out to rob your house or something. Random friend requests are really annoying also because it fills your message center with junk mail and serves no purpose for you to accept them.

Bragging is also an annoying habit of a lot of Facebook users. Whether the person is bragging about the weather or bragging about going to a party and getting drunk, it really becomes annoying. People who brag generally do not have a lot to brag about or are usually bragging about something they should not even talk about. I do not like a bragger in real life so why would I want to see you brag on the Internet? Bragging to me means you are insecure and try to make other people jealous of you for the fact you are often jealous of them. If you are a bragger on Facebook then people will think you are snobby and rude in real life.

Sharing too much personal information is another bad habit of Facebook users. I do not want to know about when your appointment is to get the acne off of your back or when you are in the bathroom reading the newspaper. Too much information can be something that will gross out your friend or something you would not share with a stranger, but somehow people seem to think it is okay on Facebook. Some things in your life can be considered private and should only be talked to with your close family so you should not share them with the world. My general rule is if it is not something you could walk up to a stranger and talk about then it probably should not go onto Facebook.

Capitalizing everything in your post or status update is also a bad habit that a lot of Facebook users seem to do. If you are going to go to the gym for example, you do not need to excessively use the caps lock key on your keyboard. Capital letters are designed to be used a certain way and not designed to be your font size; this can come off as rude. Capital letters as most of us are aware mean you are yelling at someone and this is not good manners even if we are talking about the Internet and Facebook. When you capitalize everything or use the caps lock function excessively this can be a sign of weakness or a sign that you are really not very educated. If you went to school at all, you should show some common sense and courtesy by using capital letters where they are needed and only needed. People who capitalize everything are some of the most annoying people out there because obviously it shows ignorance and just bad manners of the Internet.
