Facebook abusers
A post on ML made me wonder, what do you consider a postwhore abuser on FB? I say more than one status update per day. You can tack on one article, picture or album sometimes, but 90% of the time you only post once a day. Beyond that, and you are clogging up my feed and are a huge AW. (posting comments on other people's sh!t doesn't count here)

Re: Facebook abusers
I wouldn't know- I hide people who are annoying and at this point I've hidden so many that I don't have any "abusers".
Biggest offenders in my book are the game hounds. Send me bricks for my farm, I have the highest bejeweled # in america, give me weapons for my mafia, etc. And the ones that do every app on there- faux hugs, flowers, cakes, horoscopes, etc.
I have very little patience for FB and probably should never have signed up.
I hide people who write to their spouse "Honey thanks for doing the dishes, I love you" (can't you walk into the living room and tell him to his face?"
I hide people who post uncontrollably about their kids "Day 1 Mary potting training, Day 2, Mary potty training......"
I hide those who post 4 or 5 posts a day about nothing inparticular, plus I have most of those apps hidden (four sqaure, farmville etc)
constant advertisement of your band, etsy store, or other ware (one dude i went to highschool with apparently shills for the P90X workout and his are insanely annoying. he cross tweets these "I lost 80 pounds on P90X! you can too with beachbody.com!" or WeverTF.
compulsive updating about a child's doctor's appointments or daily naps/behavioral problems.
games
people who post dirty laundry while under the influence-it's both uncomfortable and amazing to be inundated with updates about "hunter s thompson days" riddled with !!! and expletives, followed by intervention-like F-off comments by their friends who don't want to deal with them again until they get clean. mmmmkay!
The worst for me is peopel who promote the MLM scheme they were duped into joining. I don't want your Amway, Mary Kay, Pampered Chef, Scentsy, or any other overpriced crap you are trying to unload under the guise of a wonderful "home business opportunity."
I shouldn't see you in my feed more than 1-2 a day. I don't count photos or videos if they are cute kids or make me laugh. Foursquare updates and linked twitter accounts are the debil.
Mucho likes purple nails and purple cupcakes
I hide the game updates. I don't mind multiple random status updates a day, although I do have one friend who does jiu jitsu, and when she's at tournaments she updates every 2 seconds with play-by-play of her team members' bouts (fights? matches? I don't know). Dude, use Twitter.
I also hate when my lawyer FB friends who work at big law firms post their "I'm 'complaining' but really bragging about my billables" status updates. Like, "It's only Wednesday, but I already hit 45 hrs. for the week!" I don't care. Go away.

I hide all games and horoscope crap, and tend to just skim over the folks who post multiple times a day. The only thing that really, really annoys me is when people treat their FB status as an instant messenger during events like big games, political debates, or congressional hearings (lots of my friends are politics geeks).
ALso, people who ask for prayers too much for things like disorganized closets and crappy cars.
ETA: I just got on FB and saw this status update from the woman who is a serial offender when it comes to seeking prayers:
Please pray for Wayne--he did some extensive yard work/clearing of our beautiful paths on our property, but he is starting to show some signs of poison "something" (oak? sumac?) on his arms. He usually gets a VERY serious case....pray we can avoid the horrible reaction and steroid shots like a few years ago.
(
I am in the "you get one status update a day" camp. Unless you're super interesting. Or hot. So make it a good one.
I also hate the people who continously invite me to things I would never attend. And suggest I like everything. I was invited to a beer pong tournament in Germany last week.
For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
I am a horrible person. The "poison sumac prayers" request made me cackle.
I'm more offended by people who comment and/or "like" every freaking thing I post.
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
I'm about 95% sure that this describes me. I really need to stop.

I have all games and apps blocked. My biggest pet peeve is the numerous status updates in a day (friends AND fanpages) and when people post the same *** to their personal page and their fan page.
I honestly haven't noticed that from you.
The worst day was when someone posted that Catalog Living blog on here. I swear EVERY single Knot friend posted it on FB. It showed up like 15 times in my feed.

OMG, yes. The pathetic AWs are the worst. "Why can't I ever just catch a break?? Why is everything so HARD???" wah, wah, wah... shut up.
Anyone who updates w/ quotes or bible verses irritates me. Come up w/ something original for christ's sake. I mean, I'll quote LL Cool J every so often, but that's just good fun.
Me neither.
One of my mom's friends does that, usually within a minute of posting. It's a family joke by now, because she does it to me and my sister too. One of us will say something that sounds like a status and the other will say "Linda Leighton likes this." Yeah, we're lame.
The hair grows in thick where the horn used to be.
Twan has a religious freak who we both catch up on, for laughs. He keeps talking about something called Glory Gatherings, so every time we see a big group of people we're like, "Huh, what's going on over there? I wonder if it's a Glory Gathering." This guy also has lots of "holy spirit inside me" sexual euphemism kinds of updates.
Then he's also friends with a runner who is a skinny b!tch AW. She posts daily about her runs or workouts, even right after she had a kid. She posted that she wore her pre-preg jeans home, went running for the first time two days after giving birth, wore a bikini to the pool with her one-week old baby, and has posted lots of pics in said bikini. All accompanied by assholish commentary about how easy it is and she doesn't understand why more women don't bother to take care of themselves.

Please PM me this lady's address so I can hide in the bushes and trip her on one of her self-care runs.
Really? Oh good.
Sometimes I wish I had nutcake friends. I do have one Mafia Wars friend I haven't hidden because she appears to be a hardcore Democrat (to the point of complete blindness, I suspect) and she lives in a pretty red state. I want to see if anybody responds to all the stuff she posts, but so far nothing.

This was one from some super-dorky, incredibly unattractive band dork w/ whom I went to HS the other day. I nearly passed out in laughter.
Weird chick: I'm sorry, but I just don't get the over sized sunglasses women wear....am I the only one who thinks they look like goggles or bug eyes? Fashion sure has changed since I used to modelAh yes, Vaguebook is the only one that really vexes me. Someone just posted this: "has been playing the nice guy for long enough...some people are going to see the other side of me now." Oh ffs. Spill the beans or just go about your kung fu business and leave us out of it.
I really don't care how many status updates someone has, as long as they are somewhat entertaining or interesting.
Fent you are getting rigid in your old age!
I don't mind more than one a day if they are amusing. What makes me hide people is overly religious commentary. It also makes me hide my updates from them. I also hide very game and anyone whose updates constantly say the same thing.
I don't mind occasional updates bout kids but if you can't say a single thing that's not about him/her you're gone.
