Here are a few in the last few days that drove me crazy...
"Enjoying a bubble bath and a glass of champagne at the **** hotel with my hubby celebrating our anniversary" First of all I don't really want to picture you and your hubby in a bubble bath naked and second if you are enjoying it so much get off your blackberry and enjoy it! "Wake county schools closed today" Just bugs me because just about all of my 250 friends had to post it. I mean I got the info from the news just like they did!! "Wow, great workout!Is my butt going to be feeling it tomorrow" Need I say more Let's hear yours! Ann |

I knew this chick who was forever falling into the "woe is me" category - and would constantly post passive aggressive statuses just so her "boyfriend" (read as, the guy who would phone her for sex) would read.
I don't have specifics (I unfriended her she was getting on my NERVES) but they were all quotes from poems/ movies/ books without giving credit to the original writer/ author/ poets. Funniest part is that she did it all for seeking attention so people would ask.. honey what's wrong? Perfect candidate for the STFU tumblr sites! ETA: I think you all will love this site: http://stfuparents.tumblr.com/

Anything about medical issues or bodily functions;
e.g. "Sarah can't wait until these cramps go away" Anything that could be construed as bragging about your social status or financial situation; e.g. "Sarah can't believe the size of her anniversary ring from her wonderful hubby" Anything overly upbeat or sickly sweet in any way; e.g. "Sarah can't wait to go outside in this beautiful sunshine and greet this amazing day!"

Repeated posts about routine activities such as "Just had my first cup of coffee" or "Home from work." Who cares?!?!?!

I have an acquaintance who has a hate relationship with Mondays. Between the weekly "I hate Monday" posts which started on Sunday and continued through Monday night and various other drama, I hid her.

The intentionally vague ones that are screaming for people to ask what is wrong or up or whatever.
ILs have constant inside jokes going back and forth with each other. Which I see occasionally among other mutual FB friends, but is more annoying when they have intentionally excluded us from the relationships. |

People who complain or whine every.single.post. Every once and awhile is ok, even once a week, we all have bad days. But really I get tired of the bitching and moaning when its constant. Also the passive aggressive ones where they just want people to ask whats going on so they can explain more...
Also people who brag constantly, or who post every 3 minutes it seems about random crap no one cares about. Overly political statements that seem to be posted just because they will push buttons. Also on the "wake county schools closed" thing, lol, one of my friend's mom posted this yesterday and I had a wth moment. Her kids are in their mid-late twenties and she doesnt work for the school system - exactly who is she posting this for??

"I'm so sad...I'm so depressed...." on a CONSTANT basis. It makes me want to scream, "go get yourself some help or stop complaining." It looks needy and desperate, IMO. Sometimes we all feel that way, but it just isn't the right forum. If you need some attention, call a friend.
Sports updates - though my dh (who doesn't like sports) says that these get much more response than the ones about people's kids, LOL. The people who every single Friday, post "TGIF" or every single Monday, post "Is it Friday yet?" My MIL was asking me why my updates get so many responses and I told her it's because I wait to post til I have something worth saying or discussing or that's funny in some way. Otherwise, it's a big yawn.

Maybe I'm just being mean, but I get annoyed with the gushy-gushy posts of sentiment to significant others.
"Hugs and kisses to the BEST husband in the whole wide world. You are the most loving, loyal, giving person EVER. What did I do to deserve such a sweetie like you?" And the bragging ones bug too. "Beautiful, healthy baby. Loving, adoring wife. Check. New house. Check. I couldn't ask for a more perfect life." I'm not kidding. The guy actually referred to his wife as "adoring." Which just made me want to puke.
