Between the incessant Mafia Wars requests and the never ending puppy pics, the 'har ek friend zaruri hota hai' adage is standing on some seriously shaky ground.
It flattened Orkut, gave Twitter something to sweat over; and in the 8 years since its inception, Facebook has leaping to strength after strength, until it got taken under siege by a string of devious users who come armed with bad grammar (and even worse punctuation) that makes you want to shoot yourself in the head, repeatedly. In the name of sanity and virtual peace, here are 5 types of Facebook users that you need to avoid:
The Farmville Fanatics
There was a time when Farmville was the 'it' game. There was a time when your social standing depended on how many levels you completed in Mafia Wars. That time has long since gone and constantly hogging our notification feed with incessant game requests is just tempting us into planning a gruesome murder, worthy of a Final Destination movie.
The Tag Nazis
Zuckerberg's tagging mechanism could befuddle greater souls, so we'll spell this out in simple terms: Am I in the photo? No. Then I'd rather pass on the 1,564 comments that are bound to follow, thank you very much.
The Grammar Convicts
doo yew e1 need an xplanatn for dizz? Some people obviously slept through their Grammar classes in school and intentionally committing three grammatical felonies with every word is their way of making sure that no one forgets it.
The Showboat
While we all like to share the brighter moments of our lives online, there are those people who go to great lengths to ensure that no one forgets how amazing their lives are; the incessant updates rating a definite 100 on the TMI scale. We are truly delighted that every aspect of your life lives up to fairy tale standards, but when Rakhi Sawant is calling you out on being a show off, you are obviously doing something wrong.
The TMI Artists
They sob, they lament, they whine. Every sneeze is entitled to its own lengthy status update and god forbid that their boyfriend not pick up their call. We get it; life can be harsh on the best of us but most people find a way to deal with it without documenting it online in minute detail. Unless you are a fan of Ekta Kapoor's brand of protracted drama, hit the Block button and save up on all the headache pills.
