Irritating social media updates
Social media is great for many reasons. It can help businesses thrive in economic hardship, and keep families connected from other sides of the globe. Despite the positives, there are some really annoying people on social media, and here are just a few.

Quote hoarder
This person will not accept that anything is worth talking
about unless it is up in quotations following by a caption that reads ‘Mother
Teresa’ or ‘Ghandi.’ Now whilst these
figures were hugely inspirational for many, they are popping up all too often
on many Facebook timelines, and people need to remember that thinking for
yourself will do you no harm whatsoever. Facebook has become an amalgamation of quotes gone by, and they are
usually accompanied by a picture of the figure in question looking as if they
are deep in thought.

The exaggerator
This sounds rather like the title of a terrible Adam Sandler
movie, but these folks who commit this crime are far more annoying than
Hollywood’s least funny leading man. If
you are prone to bending the truth on occasions, then Facebook might not be the
best place to do it. 4.9% of people say
that they find people who exaggerate too much the most annoying of all. Next time that spider the size of a hippo
enters your bedroom, reconsider the comparison before hitting the web.
Annoyance rating: 7/10
The Arguer
Be it religion, politics, the way to raise a child, or
whether Coronation Street is better than Eastenders, this person will find a
way of enforcing their input in the most forceful way possible. Usually accompanied by a profile picture that
shows that veins protruding out of the side of their temple, this person will
search their timeline looking for something they can belittle or
contradict. They can be located by
looking for posts that contain over 20 comments, but I’d stay well clear.
Annoyance rating: 8/10
The Candy Crush pest
Everybody has heard of Candy Crush, and personally if I
wanted to play it, I would have by now. With this said, why do I currently have 4 invitations on Facebook to
join the Candy Crush Saga community? 10%
of people are offended by the regular requests that they get from friends to
play games on Facebook, but this won’t stop the committed folks who commit to
such games as Candy Crush, FarmVille and Mafia Wars. There is no easy way to avoid these people,
as they are usually quite aggressive in their tactics. They will not stop until you are herding
virtual cattle, and moving digital sweets around on your computer screen.
Annoyance rating: 9/10
The chef
It is the fuel that keeps us going throughout the day, and I
for one love it: food. What I don’t love
is pictures of people’s undercooked roast dinners on a Sunday afternoon. If you are the type of person that is
regularly posting pictures of your beans on toast or spaghetti bolognaise then
11.8% of people think you’ve gone too far.

The traveller
The world is beautiful, if you take it in. The traveller will keep you updated with all
the little details of their trip to the other side of the world in an attempt
to make you feel jealous. Often the
traveller can be identified usually in a photo that delivers fantastic scenery,
and an ambiguous pair of upper thighs to let you know that they are there. 15.8% of people have absolutely no interest
in what flavoured cocktail you’re sipping whilst they are back home at work.
Annoyance rating: 9/10
The baby bore
It starts with an announcement, it then moves onto the scan
picture, and in no time you are knee deep in pictures of a new-born child. After the initial pictures, the baby bore
will then inform you of every movement their child makes, and you too will feel
like the parent, as you assess their childhood development closely. 13.1% of people seem to think that seeing
multiple pictures of a little baby each day is far too much, and this means we
have a winner folks.
Annoyance rating: 10/10
These are the most annoying people on social media, and if
you’re not careful, you could be a victim.
