Annoyance #2: Snow Days



Everyone has a right to their own opinion.  Some people like getting multiple snow days in a row.  Some like the occaisional snow day here and there.  Others hate snow days, because they'd rather have a longer summer.  To each their own.  But, one opinion that I'm pretty sure most people share is a fake status about having no school the next day, or a 1 or 2 hour delay.  This can really confuse people.  No one likes to have their hopes set high, only to be disappointed.  No one finds things like this funny either.  So, if you're going to be "funny" about it, and post it, at least have the decency to tell others commenting that it's only a joke.  Or just don't even post it at all.  Everyone will hate you for it.

Annoyance #1: Hacking

Everyone has experienced a Facebook "hack".  Whether a friend has done it to you, or you to them. 
People love finding their friends' phones, iPods, or laptops laying around unwatched.  It's the perfect time to hack away.  The more people distracting the victim, the better. The more suspects around, the less likely it is that you'll get caught in the act. Instantly, you can make the whole world of Facebook think that (insert friend's name here) is gay.

Yes, it's funny the first few times. But seriously, it gets annoying to the helpless victim who is always getting hacked. You don't know who is actually going to believe the gruesome, raunchy statements that become your status. Not only does it start to annoy the victim, but also fellow Facebook users.  No one likes to have people blowing up their newsfeed with all that.  So, to all Facebook users, be careful where you leave your wireless Internet devices with access to Facebook.  Be sure to log out of Facebook on your laptops, and lock your cellphones, and iPods.  As for the Facebook "hackers", try to contain your urge to embarrass your friend, it could just come back to bite you.
