Hate the people who try to sell stuff! Especially realtors. WTF? If I’m going to buy a house, I don’t think I’ll do it via Twitter.

And Chris, totally agree with the Twitter feeds lacking any sort of human personality. Arg.

Love it! I am a twitter newbie but in my short time I have already seen all of these people. Good stuff.

Right so what your telling me is I’m not really famous and that the tweet I sent you about nachos is a no no. Thanks Candice I get the hint

I’m not a big fan of all the travel quotes or the people who only seem to RT everything. For sure RT the links but its nice to know your actually human and do tweet other normal things. Keeping the human personal side is the key for me to follow you.

Awesome, Candice. I love the fact that you have the guts to write an article with “douchebag” in the title.

ICAM on the “over sharers”.

Other social media douchebags:
The people who just want to sell you something.
The people who say inflammatory things just to whip everyone into a tizzy.
People who drop F bombs constantly.
The people who type in ALL CAPS.
The people who copy and paste someone else’s tweet and try to pass it off as their own (why, people? Why?).
The people who take a private fight into a public forum.

I could do this all night.

Thanks folks! Glad I’m not alone in this annoyance. Lauren, you know I TOTALLY overlooked the fact my Twitter pic is me in a bikini, usually I’d unfriend someone like that too. Must reconsider this fact.

I’ve actually never come across somebody like that yet, but when I do, I shall place them in a special category called “Self-Righteous Douchesacks.”

Hmm, not sure why this isn’t replying underneath Brian’s comment, but just wanted to agree with you wholeheartedly, Brian. There are some people who ONLY update with scripture, and they do it on a daily or every other day basis. I’m down with every once in a while, but when you must quote the Bible to talk about how you mopped the floors, we’re crossing the line here.

I keep them as friends only because I’m sure I annoy some other people with my updates and they haven’t dropped me. Karma
