Ahh fair enough, I thought it was for his own DJing page or something. Yeah, bit bizarre in that case but eh.

Truth be told, after I made my post, I got curious and googled it to see what I could find on this. Loneliness, narcissism, and habit were some of the ones that showed up along with some others I found upon reading. In my friend's case, I think habit is why he does it because I recall him telling me years ago he had a friend who got him into the habit of doing it. Although I didn't see this mentioned, I imagine some of the people who do it are not overly familiar with Facebook and those 2 other people I mentioned in my post I think fit that criteria.
Fair. For the record, I wasn't saying anyone who does it is conceited, but it certainly makes them appear that way, like patting yourself on the shoulder. Whether or not they actually are conceited is a different story of course.
And this was another thing I saw upon googling the subject as well and I personally can't see a single like making much of a difference though.
Still, at the end of the day, I stand by what I said earlier. While it may be far from the worst thing you'll see on social media, I still think it's a pretty stupid and pointless thing to do.

I’m sure I have people on FB who are most assuredly conceited. They just go on mute if they get annoying (then they wish me happy birthday and I forget theirs and a tiny amount guilt creeps in)
I even had to put my mums posts on review before they hit my wall. Because I don’t go on too often, so heaven knows what she will tag me into, also she’s one of those annoying people who reply to someone else’s reply instead of the original thread post.

I know that feeling. Not sure what you mean by "mute" and I don't know if you're aware, but Facebook has an unfollow option where you can prevent posts from certain friends from showing up in your feed. I haven't used it on anybody in a long time, but I think you'll still get notified if they tag you, post on your wall, or comment on something you posted
Must admit, I am kind of tempted to do that with my friend here. Seeing him like every post he makes gets kind of annoying after a while and I don't tend to care about what he posts anyways, but I still at the very least want to be friends with him.
On a related note, I find it kind of annoying when people don't even use the reply button to reply to someone, rather they just make another comment on the post in response to it. Not just Facebook either, I also feel the same way about people here on GTP who don't use the comment button on profile posts and will just make another profile post to respond to it instead.

That’s the one, couldn’t remember what they called it. I have to be careful here too, my 68 year old pop’s is a member.
I don’t know what his user name is, as when I asked, he couldn’t remember

I still get confused when people say "...it's been a minute" to mean "...it's been a while." I don't hate the expression; I just get irked and confused hearing it. The only exception is if it's actually been a minute (as in sixty seconds ago).

I'm confused by peoples absolute obsession with coffee. I get it, tastes differ and all but the coffee fans are especially annoying and insufferable because to them its more than freaking drink its a lifestyle they simply cannot shut up about. And when they run out of it they become even more insufferable!
Personally, I like cocoa and drink it a lot but my friends and relatives hardly know about it because why would they. And I don't even need a place that exclusively sells and prepares that stuff, I can make my own cup of cocoa and even bring it to work!
But in case of coffee fans absolutely EVERYONE in a 10 mile radius absolutely knows about their preferred style of coffee, their favorite brand, when they drink it, how often they drink it. And most of the time those people are absolutely hyper from all the caffeine all the time. They have shops all over the place that sells that stuff for insane prices and elevates that bean water to a cult.
I get it, they love that brown burned bean water very very much but what confuses me is why they celebrate that so HARD and why it has become SUCH a cult everywhere.
Argh annoying confusing cultists.-

Eh, they're good things to keep in mind before ranting about something incredibly minor, if one feels the need to pointlessly rip someone a new orifice over the inter-webs, or just feels like being an unhinged worldwide wanker.
But likely terrible advice at actually solving any complex problem that requires a degree of abstract thought and possibly three years' time/labor.

The government won’t do anything about the dihydrogen monoxide in tap water.

I hear it actually becomes beneficial for your health if you leave it out in moonlight.
Feezing the water also suspends the dihydrogen monoxide.

They sell fluoride at most good stockists if that’s all you want.

People who are vague with just about anything, especially not informing you of details that would at LEAST explain the situation or expectation they have. Then these same people who barely give you any info act like you're the idiot for not understanding their intentions. At least add some details to what is going on. Things like people who say "Look over there!" or "I need to show you something" rather than giving some sort of context to what they want.
Had a manager from another department toss me the keys to a brand new car that he technically had no use for. Just said "Here's the keys to this car, we just used it." In my position, I got to keep an eye and track what's going on with the inventory as no one else does... So I asked him what and why he was using a brand new car for. He just said "Pictures." without explaining what sort of pictures they were using the new car for. Was it for sending corporate info on a problem with the new car? Was it to redo pictures they might have thought my pictures were crap? What the heck does just saying "pictures" mean? I know I'm probably being "nosy" as the manager then acted like a **** to me saying "What do you want!? We were retaking employee pictures and needed a car for them to pose with. Do you want their names too or something?"
I know it doesn't help my anxiety and I tend to overthink things, but in my job position, I get crap for my department's managers for not knowing what the heck is going on with certain inventory. But NO ONE knows how to properly communicate and just tosses things around, expecting me to know what is going on. Random keys on my desk, uh...is this a used car needing gas, pictures, a cleanup? Nothing. No note left, no text, no intercompany message/email left for me to know what to do with this key to a car.
I often give "too much" info for things, because I feel the need to explain as the last thing I want is for something to come back to me being questioned about it. "Why did you move this car?" "Why is this happening?" etc. So to save my butt, I say things like "Here's the keys to this brand new car. I had to move it because the higher ups wanted the place organized better and this car hasn't been stocked into our system." But I could have just said "Here's keys to this car. I just had to use it." and that's all....
People who want you tell you something, but are vague about it and then act like you're the idiot for asking questions irritates me. I'm sure some of it's my fault for overthinking, but it just helps to be clear and concise about something that shouldn't make the other person question what the heck is going on. That was just one example I could think of. I still feel the need to quit this job and dealership industry. Tired of being treated like dirt and called an idiot for things out of my control.
Why be vague about something that the other person already has no idea what's going on? Stop creating more questions than answering them.

So many people lack proper communication skills. It’s a real shame, and it’s annoying as hell because it can be such a simple thing that requires not even an ounce of effort. Sometimes I think it’s just laziness, in the worst case it’s disrespectful.
My wife isn’t the best a communicating which can drive me nuts sometime, but I give her a pass as English is her 3rd language.

I wonder how some companies stay in business with such awful communication skills, whether it's between departments or individuals. Something gets lost and nothing but frustration and passive aggressive BS gets thrown around instead. It's as bad as people who are just too lazy to use a turn signal while driving, but are angry when you honk at them for nearly changing lanes into you without signaling. We're not mind readers, stop assuming everyone around you knows what you want or are planning to do.
Just don't understand how it's so difficult to add a few more words to a statement that makes it easier to understand. Tired of playing mental games with people.

Things that annoy me: Social Media comments for some being so weird or stupid! I.E. One guy on my YT channel keeps bringing up some anime that has nothing to do with the videos I made. Even makes up some odd nonsense about a character owning a JGTC car or something. I looked the anime up, there's no mentioning of racing anywhere.

I had to beep 3 drivers yesterday on a single 20km commute because they just changed lanes right in front of me without signalling. And none of them were BMWs!
Stick to GTP and you’ll be good. Weird comments are probably bots.
