Justen annoying types of facebook users
The Pointer
10. The Mafia farmer – “Michael Jordan found a lost sheep on his farm. Billy Bob got promoted to Level 90 in Mafia Wars”Playing countless hours of games like Mafia Wars or Farmville to the point that all your friends ever see from you are invites and lost sheep, may prove that you just have way too much time on your hands. According to Facebook, Mafia Wars has 25,708,764 monthly active users and Farmville has 51,454,512 monthly active users. Imagine if all those people went out and really created a farm or tried to join a mafia. World hunger and overpopulation solved.
9. The photo posting addict – Posting every single photo you have onto Facebook regardless of how bad you look or how inappropriate they are is not exactly a good thing. In all seriousness, posting photos online can get you in serious trouble if your future employer checks Facebook and most do. People get fired all the time for posting stuff that makes them look bad, especially people who are supposed to be some sort of a role model. This is especially a problem if you’re a friend of the photo posting addict, and you do something embarrassing while drunk or just being yourself.
8. The poker Poking people is SO four years ago. Just don’t poke people anymore; it’s not cool. Unless of course you are still in high school or middle school.
7. Is_People who just post “is” after their name clearly don’t have anything going for them. At least they aren’t posting stuff that makes absolutely no sense, but it still a waste of time and space on the newsfeed. The update machine – “Justin woke up.” “Justin ate a grape.” “Justin is typing.” Do you post every couple seconds to Facebook because you believe people really want to know about your every waking moment? Nobody wants to know about that boring stuff. Post when something interesting is happening or worth talking about. If you’re going to do this stuff, go to Twitter where nobody cares. “Justin is writing his JusTEN.” See, nobody cares that I’m writing this.
5.The chat stalker. You’re rushing online to check your Facebook, when suddenly you are pounced on by an array of people waiting for you in the Facebook chat. This new gadget allows people to not only watch every move on your page but also bother you whenever you go to the damn page. These people live on Facebook. If I really wanted to talk to you, I’d post on your wall or send you a message. (Example: Steve Danger Apfel)
4. The quiz taker – Taking fun quizzes was once an enjoyable past-time among friends. Now it has become a frenzy of people taking quizzes like mad and telling other people what they got in order to get them to take the quiz as well. Half the quizzes make no sense or only have one result anyway, but people keep taking them.
3. The chronic inviter – “Support my cause. Join my group. Attend my birthday party. I lost my phone.I found my phone. What superpower do you secretly have? Which TOTALLY AWESOME 80’s female cartoon character are you? How much wood could a woodchuck really chuck? Join my brothel. Save the whales. Kill the whales.” OK, you probably don’t mean to get on anyone’s nerves, in fact, you may be really passionate about your cause; you may even have some sort of super power, but please give it a rest. Can’t we all JUST be Facebook friends? Do I have to join your Mafia? Do I have to be an 80’s female cartoon character or you won’t talk to me? I hope not.
2. Your parent(s). There is nothing like logging on to Facebook for your daily routine only to realize the dreaded news that you have been added as a friend by your mom and/or dad. Facebook was once meant for college students only. Now your mom can add you and keep tabs on everything you could possibly be doing. A bit scary, especially if they realize you are tagged in photos doing idiotic things and being completely wasted. The only thing more frustrating than being friend requested by your mom is probably…
1. People still in high school or middle school – Facebook was meant for college students or at least for adults. It would still be that way if they didn’t get extremely rich by expanding who can use the site. Now, receivin friend requests from your best friends 13-year-old sister is common and downright annoying. They also frequently fall into almost all of the categories above.
