People should stop suggesting their friends to me as we will usually have nothing in common.

My pep-peeve is the ones who post their personal problems then tell people to mind their own business when someone responds to it.

I’m also irritated whenever I would see the rant particularly when the rant is against someone that is not named. Sometimes I feel like I am the one being alluded to. When I would see a post like that lately, my tendency is to comment for the poster to name his adversary or enemy so that his rant will have a value otherwise his post is like a piece of garbage that he is sharing to us.

Awesome point! Just because you are friends with one person does not mean you will hit it off with someone else.

Complaining. No one wants to hear your issues, they have enough to deal with as it is.

Those people are just attention seekers. And, you need to unfriend people like that as it never leads to a happy place.

Do make issue if your friend should stop to adding you. He does not want to share with you anything. That why. I would like to suggest "Make new friend"

I want my friends to stop being so public on Facebook about relationship issues. It's just really inappropriate to say some things openly. It leads to hurt feelings with the other person in the relationship and can cause more problems.

I get annoyed when people keep spamming comments on my statuses with a personal conversation. They should open a new chat with just them in. I wouldn't mind if it is on topic but if I post about my website, the last thing I care about is people having a private conversation about what they last had to eat etc.

For this reason, I'm always hesitant to say 'Goodnight Facebook!' or 'awesome lunch!' (as many of my friends do). Facebook is not Twitter, nobody wants to hear that.

I don't want to clutter the friend feed with irrelevant content and usually just publish something when it's important, not trivial.

Sometimes you will see open ended status updates such as when one person says, 'some people are selfish'. And, you know they are talking about a specific person in their life rather than humanity in general. These open ended status updates are usually aimed at a specific unnamed person and rather than tagging the person in question. Most likely, the person being spoken to in this way knows who they are and won't bother responding publicly. This type of immature behavior doesn't belong in a public place.

What people fail to see FB as, is a public forum.

I imagine it as a stadium full of people. You are on the stage. You have the microphone. When you speak into the microphone, everybody hears you. When you provide a slide show (pictures) everybody views it.

When I post something on Facebook, I make sure it is something I would say in a mall, in a grocery store, or in a meeting; as it's extremely public. I am opinionated. I'm not a backstab, cut throat type of individual. I hate drama.
I dislike it when people post their every single move (10am-Just got out of bed. 11am-Making dinner. 12pm-Bathroom break)...lol I mean c'mon, really?

Something else that makes me cringe is how people just don't think...

Would I put pictures of myself or my friends partying? NO
Would I put sexy, alluring pictures of myself on Facebook? NO <- This one is a HUGE problem, by the way!

Individuals fail to realize how easy it is for people to access their pictures.
When I see provocative pictures of my friends on Facebook, I quickly tell them "You should ONLY put pictures on Facebook if you are OK with the fact, someone can some can come along (friend or not) and save all of YOUR pictures of you and your family on their OWN computer, then proceed to use them as they see fit." Usually when I say that, they end up taking them off...lol

But it's the truth.

Yes, I have pictures on mine. I have my privacy settings where I want them. All my pictures are decent. No crazy party pictures, or half naked ones, or anything like that... lol

You have to be comfortable with everything you put on there, knowing that EVERYONE from around the world can view, and use them at their own discretion (friend or not).

One of some many creepy things about FB is... It tracks what site's you've visited. When you sign up to FB, it plants a cookie on your computer so it follows what sites you've visited, how many times you've gone there, if you made purchases, etc... THEN when you sign into your account, all the ads on the side of you FB page are mostly related to the sites you have visited, and the things you are interested in.

Every time I login to FB now, there's ads for seocheckout, marketing, etc. How would it know what my interests are outside of Facebook, if I didn't write it in there myself? Cookie stuffing, used for tracking your every move. Why? Because they think by following your every step, they will better utilize advertisments... Hoping you would be more apt to purchase something through FB. Kinda creepy, if you ask me. Complete invasion of privacy in that regard. What people fail to see FB as, is a public forum.

All very true.

And, most people don't see it this way, but it's one of the most public places and no place to air dirty laundry or talk about family/relationship problems. When you consider how 'friends of friends' might be viewing your content/photos/posts, then it could make you do a double take or privacy settings.

I've noticed the same thing about Seocheckout ads on Facebook. They just started popping up recently. As I'm already a member of seocheckout, I'm not really the ideal audience for these ads. So why are they showing them to me? I'm on Seocheckout ten times a day anyway without the FB ad reminder.

Don't engage in threatening or harassing behavior in posts, comments or private messages. This type of behavior is not only considered bullying but likely illegal and could result in your being reported to your ISP and legal authorities.

I don't like Facebook as a whole. I think that besides what has already been stated above which are blatantly disrespectful there are a few other small things that people get away with which aren't quite right. For instance, why must everyone (Most people anyway) Brag about their lives? There are certain details about your life you can keep to yourself.

I hate when people keep changing their profile pictures every second. I also hate it when my friends suggest me to play games or join groups. There are also people who share too much about themselves on Facebook and this is not really safe. Recently, someone stole some pictures of my friends and some of his info and created a fake Facebook page. My friend then requested us to report this account. We must be very careful.

Adding people to your group is one thing that is really annoying in Facebook. What I do whenever I am added to a Facebook group without my knowledge is to unfriend that person. Adding people to a Facebook group is like superseding the authority or should I say usurpation of authority on your friend. I actually have unfriended several friends and some of them were even personal friends of mine. The last one was a close friend of my sister-in-law but I had really had to unfriend her.
