There's a guy who runs in a lot of the same circles as I do who insists on signing every status or comment he makes in social media with a nickname he gave himself.

Every. Fucking. One.

It could be a one-word comment that isn't even as long as the self-appointed nickname he uses as a signature, but he'll be sure to add the signature, nonetheless.

When he first started doing it, it was somewhere between mildly annoying and awkwardly entertaining, but when he goes all 'Internet tough guy', I just want to yell at him that it's really stupid.


... sigh ...

There. I feel better.

Is there anything that people do on any social media outlet of your choice that just bugs the piss out of you?

"Please pray for me" with no additional info

Fucking yes.  Vaguebooking.  I have dear relatives that do this, and it drives me nuts, particularly because there are times when there's no reason for them to not mention why they want prayer ... other than the obvious desire for attention.

If I find posts to be annoying....*unfollow*

Bye forever.

Generally, three things annoy me to varying levels.

1. "Vaguebooking" where you just say something like "Sometimes I wonder why I even try" in an attempt to get attention.

2. People who incessantly pollute their feed with their politard thoughts. No, I'm not going to care about your views regardless of how many amateurish YouTube videos you post with random bearded guys in their trucks talking to a camera.

3. Pure-ass attention whores. The sort that post 50x daily about every fucking thing they're doing and every emotion they feel. Even more negative posts when half those posts are concerning their relationship status or lack of one. PROTIP: You aren't getting fucked like you want because you come off as needy and high-maintenance with all your "All I want is a guy who will treat me like a princess, be there for me when I need him, etc etc etc" posts. Even more negative points if it's a dude going Pure Darby with that shit.

Done that a few times.  Today, I decided I was going to troll this guy, so I'm not going to unfollow, but when I get bored with it, that's probably the route of choice.

So many bonus points for using the phrase "going Pure Darby."  LOL!

This pretty much sums it up.  I never seen/heard of the term vaguebooking until this thread, but it's 100% accurate.  #2 very much is the worst.  Extra lulz to the video rants in the trucks.  I thought I was the only one who noticed that these rants take place in some type of vehicle. 

Oooh, the MLM people ... there's a special place in hell for them, too.

God knows the reason

On the flip side I have a few princessy mid 30’s women on my FB that constantly ask for prayers about their daughter having the sniffles or sinus infection or whatever.....then they’ll post other statuses  complaining about traffic or school or something they just don’t agree with....when they do the latter I always comment “Prayers”

Most social media behavior annoys me, even my own. So I try to limit my exposure to it more and more each day.

Yet you continue coming to the chatter which some could argue is just as bad 

I always wonder the backstory is to couples who decide to have joint accounts. Does she not trust him, is there a history, etc. 

Second time I see crazy, unfollow.

Well, I do have a financial interest here.

I have to confess that I've thought this before, too.  ESPECIALLY if they used to have separate accounts.

We have joint accounts.  Always have.  I want separate accounts, though.

I hate the people who post every mundane detail of their life.  Everything.

unless it is about eggs

I got rid of all social media but Twitter about 1.5 years ago. Life changing for the better.

I hate everything.

The hand clap emoji on Twitter is starting to get a little annoying.
