10

1CAPS

1There is no need to *SCREAM all the time. People are not deaf, if they are on the computer, they can read.

2Location

2You’re at the market, *Big Deal. Only stalkers care where you are at all times.

Besides the only guy who wants to know every time you are out of the house is the one that wants to break in.

3Profanity

3Just because you are upset, does not mean you need to *@$%&!# swear. It’s vulgar and most people don’t appreciate it.

4mispeling

*I’m well aware that this is spelled incorrectly

4Let’s not be complete *idiots. There are resources right at your fingertips.

5Trash

5So you got *fired, don’t rant on and on about the company. You’re just proving a point.

Didn’t you learn that if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

6Diet

6It’s great you are not *anorexic, but the news feed does not need to have every little detail of your intake.

7IndecentExposure

7We are all glad you are having a good time, but for your sake, don’t post *inappropriate pictures, like holding a drink if you are underage, or nudity, or…

8Self-promoter

8Unless you are your business, please don’t always talk about *yourself and post pictures of your new biceps daily.

9TMI

9There is such a thing as providing *too much information. I don’t want to know all the details of your love life, or your breakup, or your AA journey.

10No duh!

10You are not the *first person to know that a team won or a couple split, so please don’t post it.

STOP!Before you post, *STOP! •Think about what you are writing and who will read it •Know your privacy settings and use it•Remember that what you post, will be looked at by many
