Things that irritate me about Facebook

1. When your profile picture is not a portrait of you. It's not as bad when it's a group shot or something with you at least in it, but when you post, then you get some closeup of three people or something like that and you can't tell who the heck it's supposed to be.
Then there are the people too lazy to even upload a profile picture. Come on, you have to have one of you SOMEWHERE.
Then there are the people who upload some "funny" image as their profile picture. No. That's not you. I don't care if it's on your wall or whatever, but the profile picture helps people identify who you are. And you are not a dancing cat.
Then there are the people who take a picture of something else (like, an object) and set it as their profile picture. I've seen this only once, but it's still there. Seriously. What the heck.

2. When someone talks in chatspeak on Facebook. This is not Twitter or a text message. You don't have a character limit. In fact, most people get on Facebook out of boredom. So you basically have all the time you want. So you don't need to spend less time typing (and therefore making yourself look stupid), when you could make yourself seem somewhat smart. (This is worse with some people than others)

3. When you don't understand the difference between private and public. Nobody wants to see you talking to your boyfriend about how hot he is on his wall. That's what a private message is for.

4. When someone likes 800 pages in one day. We get an update in our newsfeed when that happens, so everyone can see that you liked 147 pages today. Go spend your time doing something else.

5. When you accept anyone's friend request. What's the point of making your profile private when you accept a friend request from anyone?

6. When you take a picture of yourself in the mirror while holding a camera. Sure, it's easy, but you look like an idiot. Just point the lens at your face and shoot.

7. When someone uses a Facebook application that posts on their wall or someone else's. I don't want to get an update that tells me you're 23% Asian, or that you need me to help you find your dog on Farmville. Nobody else does, either.

These are just a few of the many things. I don't expect any of these to change, but I'll use these as a list of things I won't do on Facebook.
