What are your "Social Media" Pet Peeves?

What are your "Social Media" Pet Peeves? It's a simple question with numerous remarks. I recently asked this question on Twitter to find the overall un-scientific sentiment of the user(s) I follow. I want to learn to use Twitter in a proper etiquette because it's always changing as more people utilize these tools. I for one make mistakes frequently on "Social Media" so learning to improve is always a good thing. Twitter can be used anyway you want. If you want to tweet about your cat all day, that is fine. If you want to engage in dialogue about being a social media guru that's fine too. The jest of this post is that everyone uses "social media" differently. Some use it for expression, some use it for attention or even business purposes. We are all different. Social Media is new to most people and continues to evolve so have restraint and understanding when using these tools.

Enjoy the Social tools and find a balance that fits you. Customize and mold the use of your social channels to fit you and your life. It's also important to listen to the conversations to better understand what makes people act the way they do. You start to create a mental profile of a person you follow and this is why listening is important. Taking that online persona and social cues and extending a meeting in real life completes the cycle of being social which is probably the most important value to "Social Media" for me. On that note, here is a compilation of "Social Media" Pet Peeves from my Twitter Stream that I thought you might like or help you understand the nuances of "Social Media". These tweets are a mix of funny and serious observations. Enjoy and continue to add value to your Twitter streams. To find more Pet Peeves just follow #Petpeeves hashtag.

@The_Jmoney by far the biggest #PetPeeve is disregarding RSVPs to FB Events. It takes 2 seconds to click maybe at worst.



@beachrockinc People who are overly emo that whine all the time and share way too much information #PetPeeves



@swaych the term "tweeple"



@stilez honestly? Ppl who 'pitch' or 'network' rather than "connect". Sick of the same SM tips RT'd 1000x & no valuable dialogue.



@beachrockinc Also when people overuse the RT button everytime they get mentioned or just b/c they are trying to get more followers



@E_freeds My biggest #PetPeeve is when I put my phone back in my pocket then people respond to my tweets #PetPeeve



@adamweitner people pretending to be somebody they're not. Your online identity should be a mirror-image of your offline self #petpeeves

@Averill_P When a gazillion people RT the same thing from ginormous celebs. #PetPeeves



@Averill_P Genuine FFs for a specific reason are lovely & flattering. Generic #ff lists are ineffective & clutter the timeline (IMO)



@MariaAguilar Social Media Snobs / People who think they're celebrities because of their following #. A lil awkward lol #petpeeves



@nikkiwray When people Tweet/FB "That moment when..." Worst! #petpeeves and also, unnecessary hash tags

What are your Pet Peeves?

It's a simple but fascinating question that stimulates interesting responses. I posted the simple question "What are your Pet Peeves?" on Twitter this morning. Here are some of the responses:


People that don't "Move Back"on ttc buses/streetcars

ppl who don't clean the toothpaste tops of the tubes and leave them gunky....yuck lol

Nosy people and cops giving tickets just to fill their quotas

my pet peeve is that they don't have cheese for street meat anymore

PETS. People should care for "homeless people" instead... Feed, wash, pamper them...

my pet peeve is when the ttc buses take forever to come, and when it does finally, there are 3 of them coming your way. grrr

hot dog vendors that scratch back with tongs

my pet peeve is that #peeves isn't trending... #shouldbetrending

hmmmmmmmmmm....... know it alls.

My pet peeve in general? DJs who play pop music and do not even try to mix their tunes.

I have tons.. lines... taxis that don't take the best route.. slow walkers.. hypothetical situations.. Ben Mulroney.. u?

1 of mine is ppl that dont get pedestrian traffic: keep right unless passing!

People who whistle. I effing hate when people whistle. #petpeeves

People who walk OUT of the elevator and then stop right there in front of the doors & block it.

when you are in line to buy something and the person in front is doing an exchange/refund/override that takes forever!

Another one of my pet peeve are brown nosing rats

These are all funny and interesting Pet Peeves. I'm sure there are more but at least we can enjoy and laugh at these comments. It's a light hearted Friday. Enjoy the weekend all and enjoy the list.
