Annoying Post #1:
"I'm so bored." And after reading that post, now so am I. Thanks for spreading the boredom around. What we are really reading when you say you are so bored is that you are a very boring person who is now expecting something from your Facebook friends.
Annoying Post #2:
"I'm so busy. My life is so crazy." Here's a suggestion: get off Facebook and that will free up ten minutes of your busy life. If you're so desperately busy, what the heck are you doing on Facebook, anyway? Truly busy people don't have time to Facebook. What we are really reading when you say you're so busy is that you are feeling very, very important and want us all to know about it.

Go Raiders! or Go Broncos! or Go Colts! I don't care who the team is. Now, I love sports, especially basketball. And I don't mind a celebratory "we won!" comment. But I definitely don't want a play by play analysis of a football game I just watched. I can go to ESPN for that; I don't want it on Facebook.
Annoying Post #4:
Posts that only a few people will understand the meaning of or posts that require explanation. I get baiting your friends playfully to ask more questions - that can be fun, but posting without intention of explaining? No.
Annoying Post #5:
Vomiting on Facebook. This annoys everyone and makes everyone feel sick, too.
Annoying Post #6:
"Joe Jones is at the movie Moneyball!" I have a hard time visualizing why this is even slightly appealing to either the person adding this to his status or to anyone reading the status. So Joe got his popcorn, his drink, got seated and while the previews were playing, took the time to update that he was at the movie? The only way it's plausible is if Joe got to the movie 25 minutes too early, but if that's the case, play Angry Birds and save us the snooze fest.
Next week, I'll list my all time favorite Facebook posts.

Not that I don't agree. But here was my initial thought:
'Crap. Now I have to stop posting on Facebook'.
