10 Things People Post on Facebook That Drive Me Crazy

With over a billion people on Facebook, there's a lot of opportunities to post some annoying stuff. I love The Facebook. I really do. Sometimes though I see things in my feed that make me roll my eyes, gasp in horror, or say in my out loud voice, "Really? You felt the need to post this?" 

I know I'm not the only one of the billion people on Facebook that feels this way, so let's address the elephant in the room shall we? Here are 10 things that people post on Facebook that drive me nuts. If you've done one of these, I'll apologize in advance. I'm doing this for your own good.

1. The "I'm really upset but not going to tell you why" status update

Your latest status update that simply reads "I'm so over this." I see what you did there. You want all your friends to comment "Oh honey what's wrong?" or "Call me. We'll talk." We're not taking the bait. We see you're starved for attention. Get off Facebook and deal with the situation.

2. The migraine status update

You just posted how much your head hurts because you have a migraine. You know what will help? Put the phone down, shut the computer off, get off Facebook, take something and go lie down in a quiet dark room until it passes. I've had migraines and they floor me. Vomiting, sensitivity to bright light and the slightest sound can be excruciating. Even if you aren't experiencing that level of pain, why make it worse?

3. Food Bashing

We get that you think processed food is poison. Guess what? A lot of us still like it. And it's cheap. Good for you for eating healthy, but don't get all up in my grill when I post a picture of delicious nacho chips with melted cheese that I bought at the convenience store for 99 cents by telling me it will give me cancer. You go enjoy your kale smoothie. This processed "cheese" is delicious.

4. Facebook is going to start charging you

Stop posting this. It's never going to happen.

5. Let's see who reads my wall

I read it. No I'm not commenting with how we met. Don't you already know this? Oh hey look! There's a video in my feed of Harry Styles getting hit in the junk. See ya.

6. Checking in at the hospital

I see that you're at the hospital based on your Facebook check-in. Since you didn't take the time to tell us why, and since you were able to finish the act of checking-in, I'm going to assume everything is okay and you just have the sniffles. Alternately, whoever you took to the hospital is okay because if they weren't, why would you be on Facebook?

7. The Grammar Corrector

Yes. I used "your" when I should have used "you're." You knew what I meant. I'm updating my Facebook status, not writing a term paper. Thanks for pointing it out.

8. The Group Adder

You just added me to the "I Love Cute Kittens in Gray Maine" Facebook group. I don't like kittens and don't live in Gray. I drive through it to get to the casino. Why would you do this?

9. The photo tagger

You tagged me in a photo of you, your kids and the family dog. Where am I in this photo exactly?  I also noticed you tagged fifty other people not in the photo. I'm pretty sure that's not what Facebook had in mind when they created this feature. Don't do that.

10. The Hashtagger

"Date night with hubby! #soinlove #movietime #cinemagic #holdinghands #dinner #drinks #loveofmylife #bliss #purehappiness #50shades #cantwait #nokids #babysitter"

Setting aside the fact that this is not what hashtags were designed for, you're overdoing it. Big time. Next time try this:

"Out without the kids at Texas Roadhouse with the hubby and then off to see 'Fifty Shades of Grey.' I love this man and am blissfully happy."

After reading that, it's just as annoying. At least the hashtags are gone.
