Based from Ang Pinaka’s “Ang Pinaka Pasaway na Facebook Users”, which is also based from CNN’s “The 12 most annoying types of Facebookers”.

I had fun watching Ang Pinaka’s episode yesterday about the annoying Facebook users. But I found out that they just got it from an article by Brandon Griggs from CNN website. Anyway, to add a personal touch to the list, I’ll be admiting if I am guilty of the following annoyances in Facebook.

12. The Chronic Inviter
Not guilty! Haha. If ever there was a time I sent an invitation, I am sure that I just made a mistake in clicking the invite or the send button. These are users who keep on inviting his/her friends to try the game/application that he/she has just tried.

11. The Obscurist
Guilty! These are users who usually put mysterious or hanging status/quotes. Well for me, sometimes what you want to express is best expressed in that way.

10. The Paparazzo
Not guilty! The paparazzo users are those who post pictures and keep on tagging others especially when the pictures of the people that has been tagged are funny. Well, I’m not gulity because I am lazy to tag my friends.

9. The Crank
Guilty! Haha. These are users who usually complains in their Facebook statuses. Oh well, for me, it’s a way of releasing hatred.

8. The Lurker
Not gulity! These are users who seem to be out of circulation in Facebook but you’ll be surprised that he/she has been reading your statuses regularly.

7. The Sympathy-Baiter
Guilty! These are users who seem to ask for symapthy from their friends. As I mentioned in item #10, for me, I don’t find any problem if someone will use FB to express what they feel. Actually, I like reading personal posts in FB. Yeah, sympathy baiters might be seeking attention. And if it’s a way for them (us) to feel not alone, then I don’t see any problem with it.

6. The Bad Grammarian
50/50. I know I am not an expert in English, but I always make sure and try to have correct grammar, especially when I know that I’ll be posting something that can be read by many.

5. The TMIer (Too Much Information)
50/50. It actually depends on my mood. But I also try to set a limit on what to share and not to share. There are still things about me which I want to keep private.

4. The Town Crier
Guilty! Whenever there are breaking news which you want to share to many, obviously Facebook is a good venue to do it. I don’t see anything wrong with it, just as long as the news comes from reliable sources.

3. The Friend-Padder
50/50. Of course, I don’t add friends whom I really don’t know. But I do add schoolmates in the past. Haha. This gave me an idea of filtering my FB friends to my real friends.

2. The Self-Promoter
Guilty! But actually I don’t find no problem with it if you want to promote yourself in FB. Actually I love it, not only for myself, but for others who are doing that too.

1. The Let-Me-Tell-You-Every-Detail-of-My-Day Bore
Guilty! Actually I don’t find any problem with it just as long as it doesn’t sound boastful. It’s called “status” and people can put anything they want there. Twitter and other life stream applications can also be linked to FB, that’s why we can see most of our friends update their status once in a while.

Anyway, we always have the option to hide updates from users or applications if we get annoyed by them.
