Things You Need To Stop Doing On Facebook Now That It's 2014

We're not talking about your date of birth or phone number...we mean all the things that make people collectively think...Jesus, give it a rest. Its 2014 and you've had enough time to test the social media waters to know the things you need to stop doing on Facebook.

Duck faced selfies...

I don't care what you are wearing today, or what your make up looks like...no make up selfies is also so last week. But at least it was for a good cause.

Candy crush saga

You need to leave me out of your candy crush game. We will fall out in real life if this persists.

Pictures of your newborns

Its a fact, all new born's look the same, so to me it just looks like all of you have the same baby.

Documenting every single aspect of your lives

This include your Eastenders drama filled day to day experiences or statuses about being depressed. Facebook is for happy things and happy people. If you're depressed go see a councillor...*does happy dance

Adding me as a friend

and ignoring me as you walk past me on the street less than 24 hours later...*removes friend

Tagging yourself in everywhere

We all know you're only standing outside that particular place and not inside with all the popular people....bottom line, we know you use Facebook to pretend you're popular. 10 years ago there wasn't this many popular people per capita....so you're all fakes and now you've been found out. You wouldn't know a real guest list if it slapped you straight in the face.

Bitch about work mates

We are all separated by the six degrees of separation (or Kevin Bacon as I like to say) so chances are it might get back to someone...and you might get found out for being a little bitch..

Becoming a completely different person than you are in person

You two faced keyboard warrior..

Stop arguing with trolls

Some people online just argue for the sake of it..it will drive your blood pressure north and they've done exactly what they wanted to achieve...leave it out.

Stop poking people

What are you? 12?

STOP F*CKING PLAYING CANDY CRUSH

I've literally just had another update while structuring this post..

Drunk pics...

One or two is fine but as with the work thing, if all your pics are mostly of you falling around the place and they're out there on the web for all to see..your reputation is on the line.

Pictures of your kids

This isn't anything like the baby point as not all kids look the same, obviously. If any of you have kids please be aware that there are creeps online that can hack your pages....creeps like former lost prophets front man Ian Watkins and Jimmy Saville...get my point? Hope so!

Being friends with people who can influence your future career

Do you really want them seeing every aspect of your life?? NO. Use LinkedIn and put your best professional foot forward.

Saying that everything is a conspiracy

Nobody cares...even if it is. I bet your name is Jim Corr....
