You know the stats but let me tell you again…. 500 MILLION people worldwide use Facebook.
That means that just about everyone you know has a Facebook profile and those that say they don’t are probably lying to you.
That being said, social networking is so common place that it has become a part of our everyday existence.
Due to the commonality of our use of social networking, we all have our pet peeves.
I ran across a hilarious viral video recently entitled, “Top 10 Things We Hate About Facebook”.
The video is narrated by puppets but the furry creatures capture the essence of “all things Facebook” that rub us the wrong way. From photos of the dinner it took your “friend” hours to prepare to Mom stalking your page… I think they just about covered ‘em all!
I still can’t stop laughing…
Watch video PLUS read my 10 personal Facebook pet peeves below…
VIDEO: 10 Reason We Hate Facebook
I spotted the video above at AllFaceBook but most of what’s in it I cosign. Here’s my personal take on their top 10 Facebook issues…
1. Babies…
I personally have nothing against babies and I love seeing all my friends’ kids online. I really do. But turning your profile picture into one of your newborn confuses me.
You’re my “friend” not your baby. Please stop.
2. Posting photos of your food…
I’m on a diet right now and most of the time I’m hungry. Seeing your meal online just makes me angry. Please stop.
3. My mom is on Facebook too…
How can anyone tell their Mom she can’t be a friend on Facebook? And once she IS your friend and stalks your page – calling you in the middle of the night questioning your last status update, just know there’s no easy way to “block” your Mom…
*sigh*
Mom… I love you. But please stop.
4. Automatically adding me to your new discussion group…
If you have created a group or fan page that was formed because you support Casey Anthony killing her 2 year old, don’t automatically assume that I want to join… OK? Please stop.
5. Finding out that some of my “cool” highschool friends are now kinda lame…
I’ve seen photos of a few of my ex-boyfriends that made me wanna hurl. In fact I… (oh nevermind).
My point is this… people share a lot of things online, but dude! When you reveal constantly how much you love knitting, line dancing and your cat, you lose “cool points” on the daily… I’m just saying. *shrug*
6. Sending me pictures of gifts like “car keys” and “designer bags”
You wanna send me a gift? Ask for my P.O. Box and I’ll gladly give it to you. Otherwise STOP posting photos of Gucci Bags on my wall talmbout… “my gift to you”!
If you wanna send me flowers send REAL ONES… wanna buy me a drink? Catch me at the bar!
Just FYI… those lil photo gifts are got-dayum annoying and it’s NOT the thought that counts! Please stop.
7. Tagging me in photos that don’t display me in my best light (or don’t display me AT ALL)…
B*tch you know my mouth was fulla food when you took that picture so why da hell would you think I’d want to show that to ALL MY FRIENDS?!?
![]()
Stop dry hating and perhaps consider messaging the person before you just tag em all willy nilly…. I’m just sayin! Please stop.
Oh! And don’t even get me started on those dayum shoe pics and flyers. Since when did I start looking like a pump?
8. Facebook Friend suggestions…
If your cousin and I aren’t friends, don’t suggest that I “friend” him (or her). If we become friends by chance, so be it. But don’t try to force the issue. Hell, it’s bad enough that Facebook has started posting friend suggestions on the side of my page, I don’t need them from you too.
And as far as Facebook is concerned, yeah… Mr. Zuckerberg, I know ol’ girl and I have 2101 friends in common, but I know her offline and don’t really like her there, so please stop tryna play peacemaker!
9. Default privacy settings…
WARNING: If you don’t customize those mugs you’re in for a world of hurt…. that is all.
10. Those late night drunk messages/chats and/or private messages from dudes who think FB is their personal dating service…
No thank you. I’m good on that. Please stop.
I meet my men the old fashioned way. In person!
And now there’s that dayum Facebook video chat feature to consider… Uuuugh!! I’m not even gonna touch that one yet.
Of course this list isn’t all inclusive.
What works your nerves the most about about Facebook?
Feel free to share your pet peeves…

All the shoe ads, all the pics of females in the bathroom half naked taking pics, all the constant changing fb keeps making un necessary, MOST of all there is NO privacy regardless if you have your page set too private you can still see what everything everyone is doing
I also hate when you comment to someones post everyone the commemts after u u have to get it as well
The damn shoes!!!!
I hate the shoe ads too, now they have started putting the shoes ads of the babies!! UUuurrrrggggg!!!!
Hate that anyone can tag a pic of u. There should be a notification sent to u first asking u to accept the tag.
The half naked tramps sending pics and tagging the men…and they are always bathroom mirror pics! Too funny
I hate when people post “heartbroken” or “:-(“….like they are expecting sympathy
Little kids with accounts. Like 8 & 10 years old and old people like 50 & 60. I like when u had to have a college email to sign up.
My mom is blocked from my page. I’m 31 and don’t need to be questioned in the way she was doing it. She was waaay overboard, lol. So now she’s blocked and knows it. She’s a bit pissy about it too, lol.
First all any advertising you see prevents you from having to pay 4 fb. Also if a child has an account or an “old” person, they don’t have to be on your page! Duh! But the toilet pic gotta go!
i sont have fakebook…oops i mean facebook
*don’t
lmbo!!! this video is right on point.

@Hollywood You’re joking right?
[...] this gem over at SFTA and I thought it was too cute to pass up. Anyone who has been with me since 2007 or who knows me [...]
@albin I didn’t mean any offense to older people but u have to admit its weird this site that started for college students is now for everyone. It makes it a uncomfortable situation when my parents and aunts and uncles want me to friend them! Eeww! Second kids are supposed to be at least 13 so I think u missed the point about that. It’s an issue of their safety and them being seeked out by predators! They friend anyone and sometimes their teachers which is another weird situationthat we have seen time and time again turn out wrong. There should really be a Target age. It was good when it was created and out of control now……that was my whole point! Look beyond the old statement!
1. This new timeline bullshit 2. People’s myspace names 3. How easy it is to get hacked 4. Boring ass site colors 5. All these stupid apps. 6. Pages and liking everything and that share for share bullshit. 7. There should be a dislike button. 8. This is not a dating site, dont turn it into one. 9. The ticker. 10. I cant make autumnsodomy into my username.
The amount of times someone can update their status a day!
i wish u could comment on peoples comments instead of @ !
A few things I’d like to see better: 1) Can’t respond directly to posts to converse about a particular comment; 2) No anchors to take you directly back to your posts. You have to go to the entire thread and sift through what’s written after your post; 3) No Dislike or at least Thumbs Down button; 4) No emoticons.
#1. This is heaven to stalkers these changes. 2. Dislike button 3. I can’t share by phone. 4. I can’t tag by phone. 5. The seeing what I said to ovah folks I said it I should know. 6. Folks adding you to groups w/o permission. 7. Folks tagging themselves in your pics. 8. Farmville 9. 20 Questions 10. SPAM
Automatic spellcheck would be nice cause………
