1. People who post happy braggy stuff about their kids, spouses or holidays, and kind of annoy everybody
2. People who post inspiring or melancholy quotes in script font on meadowy pictures, and kind of annoy everybody
3. People who post political rants and opinions, and kind of annoy everybody
4. People who post an engaging mix of news, articles, jokes, current events, personal life, family tidbits, occasional celebrations, completely on-point social observations, witty and relevant opinions and a bit of self deprecation, and who never annoy anyone at all, ever.I am obviously in the fourth category! I just know I'm never annoying to anybody, ever. *
So why can't everybody else manage this as effortlessly and gracefully as I do?
Ha ha. Do we all see ourselves, and Facebook, this way? I suspect we do.
This is quite funny - it's a little dated now as most people have by now self-corrected for the most annoying stuff that used to plague Facebook (I haven't seen a "vaguebook" status for awhile, or a humblebrag), but I'm sure we can all recognise our Facebook friends - and ourselves - in at least one of these: 7 ways to be annoying on Facebook.
And yes, I do actually enjoy reading what my friends are up to on Facebook!
* I might sometimes be guilty of mommyjacking. And unintentional one-upping when trying to express empathy. And using stupid immature words like "OMG". And sharing news stories that validate my personal viewpoint on something with a comment that basically means "I always knew this!" Other than that, I'm not annoying at all.
Hi Jackie,
ReplyDeleteThere's a fifth - have a Facebook account and barely use it. That's me.
:o)
Cheers

Or perhaps a sixth dinosaur category. I don't have a FB account.
ReplyDeleteMy partner said to me only ever say nice things on FB and I think that is quite wise advice. I am not an FB fiend but I do use it occasionally.
