Facebook Status Updates

I subscribe to Real Simple magazine- always a great supply of recipes, organizational tips and good articles. This month, there was an article titled, "Social Disgraces," which included a poll about the most annoying kinds of Facebook status updates. It's hilarious and SO very true, so I had to share!

  • 24% say intentionally vague posts meant to generate concern and attention. "Jennifer wonders whether it's all been worth it..." 
  • 20% say chronic complaining. "Ugh who ordered this RAIN?! It's making my carpal tunnel act up again!"
  • 19% say meaningless calls to action. "If you want to fight world hunger, put the color of your socks as your status update for the next half hour. I want to see who is brave enough to take a stand."
  • 14% say over sharing. "Note to self: Next time, wear a thong with that wrap dress."
  • 13% say miscellaneous posts- including polarizing religious or political statements, indecipherable txt spk, and game updates.
  • 10% say posting too frequently. "12:03: Chicken salad or tuna? 12:12: Chicken! Thanks for the responses!" 
How funny/true is this list?! I love it. Thanks Real Simple!
