Top 10 Reasons People Don't Like Your Facebook Posts

Meh button for Facebook I saw this headline the other day: [1]

8. Your daily “check-ins” at Burger King, Kmart and Superamerica no longer impress us.

7. That you achieved level 317 in “Candy Crunch Saga” should really be between you and other candy crunchers. Your score of 10 points for the opening play of “SATIRE” in Scrabble (you used a blank) should have been kept to yourself.

6. Three grammatical errors and four misspellings in a two-sentence post tend to dull the edge of its keen political commentary.

5. Photos of crows, pigeons and geese are the best you can offer from your 12-day European vacation?

4. We don’t care that LBJ would have posted a photo of the scar from his appendix removal if he were alive today. Photos of your liposuction scars should never have hit Facebook during the dinner hour.^[2]

3. Including a recipe along with that photo of a plate macaroni and cheese and a slice of Spam seems unnecessary.

2. The Gertrude Stein quote about Oakland you used, “Their is no They’re there,” seems off somehow.

1. Your cat tends more towards “mangy” than “cute.”
