While there are plenty of things that we all enjoy seeing on Facebook, there are also a ton of things that nobody likes to see. If you post any of the things below, you should consider changing your Facebook habits!
I call it viral narcissism: There are those of us who are compelled to volunteer the strangest, oftentimes most personal bits of info about ourselves to an open forum of literary voyeurs.
I have been stupefied by some the postings I’ve read. Some folks just share way too much on Facebook but in all honesty, I love it. I have had some of the the best side-splitting belly laughs from postings that were innocently written, not meaning to solicit humor at all.
Then again, there are those postings that I wish some people would have just kept to themselves. You be the judge: (my 3 favorites!)
3. My mother-in-law wears three bras just to keep her boobs from drooping down to her waist.
4. Massaging baby pee on your temples is a surefire way to get rid of migraines… no, it actually works, I’ve tried it.
13. Scott is my brand. Charmin complicates things back there.
Readers, what are some of the worst status updates you’ve seen on Facebook?
lol Do you have any to share?

lol Please don't share your gastric distress with your FB friends.
And I don't understand the people who post where they are on vacation, with pictures. Nothing like telling frenemies when your house is vacant and ready to be burglarized.
I have one cousin who does this all the time.

Hey! I resemble that remark! (But I had a house sitter who stayed here and neighbors all around me who are retired or work from home and were watching my place for me too!)
I find it completely irrelevant where people check into but wonder how many have gotten caught cheating on their spouses b/c of that feature?

I think that whole burglary thing is overrated. As SC said, many people have house sitters, or ask neighbors to watch the house for strange cars when they're on vacation.
It's more likely that burglars would go to homes of relatives mentioned in funeral notices at the time of the funeral. You usually don't get a housesitter for that.
I read somewhere the #1 source for evidence in messy divorces is now Facebook. I don't know if that's true.
The "I'm here now" statuses from phones. Way to encourage your stalkers.
I have some younger friends on FB - children I've helped raise, friends kids, my nephews - and I think I've jumped on each of them at least once about posting illegal activities.
Dude, you're under 21 - stop talking about being drunk, or getting some dope, or with my youngest nephew- ditching school. Did you forget you friended your aunt and uncle, your cousins, your DAD, your GRANDPA? Derp - and then you wonder why you got busted so easily.
I have really good FB threads but most of them are in the ring. This is why I am a boring FB friend. I don't post that much. I guess I don't want them to know about my mouth. I think I scared all my friends when I freaked out about my cat on there.
