Annoying Facebook Users

04.24.2010 · Posted in Cyberspace

Undeniably, using Facebook is like being at a party with all your friends, family, acquaintances, old classmates,  and co-workers. It may sound cheesy, but this site could strengthen your bond with them. But unfortunately, there are times when I am just irked by those dull status updates with shameless self-promotions, and that friend of a friend who sends you tons of quizzes and invites every day, and Facebook  turns into a daily reminder of why some people can get on my nerves.

Here are the 5 of the most annoying types of Facebook users.

1. The Let-Me-Tell-You-Every-Detail-of-My-Day Pesterer.

“I’m waking up.” “I had pandesal for breakfast.” “I’m taking a shower now.” “I’m bored at work.” “I’m stuck in EDSA.” “I just farted.” Whew! You’re irritating! No moment is too mundane for some people to broadcast nearly everything to the world. Just because you have 526 Facebook friends doesn’t mean we all want to know if you’ve just blinked your eye.

2. The Super Friendly

The average Facebook user has about 150 friends on the site. Schmoozers and social butterflies — you know, the ones who make lifelong friends on the MRT — might reasonably have 300 or 400.Well,  teachers, like me could have around a thousand. But 5,000 “friends”??? Wow! Unless you’re Manny Pacquiao or just won the jackpot prize in lotto, no one has that many. That’s just simply adding anyone you see on Facebook. Pathetic kang kumag ka!

3. The Modern Day Umalohokan.

Just a heads up. An umalohokan is the town crier of ancient barangays here in the Philippines. From these guys, you would hear that:  “A Russian plane just crashed!!!” These Mike Enriquez wannabes are the reasons why  many of us learn about those breaking news not from TV or news sites but from online social networks. In their rush to trumpet the news, these people also spread rumors, half-truths and innuendo.

4. The Sympathy-Hooker.

“I am feeling upset today.” “I feel like commiting suicide.” Like anglers hunting for fish, these woebegones hurl their hooks — baited with vague tales of woe — in the hopes of attracting concerned responses. Genuine bad news is one thing, but these manipulative posts are just pleas for attention. In Pinoy parlance, “Papampam ka lang.

5. The Chronic Inviter.

Support my cause. Sign my petition. Play Mafia Wars with me. Which Star Trek character are you? Here are the ‘Top 5 cars I have personally owned. Here are 25 Things About Me. Here’s a drink. What drink are you? We’re related! I took the ‘What President Are You?’ quiz and found out I’m Joseph Estrada! Which president are you?

I have more to add to this list including those who “like” their own message status because no one “likes” it or makes their own comment on their status because no one leaves a comment to them; but for meantime excuse me while I go post the link to this story on my Facebook page. I am  a self-confessed promoter. Go ahead, hate me for that. LOL. ;)
