The other day I came across CNN's 12 most annoying types of facebookers and it made me think of the seven deadly sins for some reason. I wondered if they could apply to types of facebook users & over a couple of days, I jotted some ideas down and this is what I came up with...
While I will be the first to admit I probably annoy the hell out of some people on facebook & also admit that I have in the past, probably committed some of these deadly sins, I try learn from my mistakes. If anything i may fall into the "pride" category to a small degree.
To make it easier to remember I will classify them as close as possible to the original deadly sins as follows:
Pride
Pride
Original: Excessive belief in one's own abilities. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as vanity.
Facebook: This is the kind of facebooker who overcompensates by trying to make themselves seem better. This can be a profile picture pose or trying to sound impressive in their updates or on their info page. They end up just making a fool of themselves though.
Into this category, I will also include those of you who have kids and think we need to know every little detail of their post-larvae stage. I honestly do not care about your kids! Send an email to those that you think will care...
Envy

Envy
Original: The desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.
Facebook: They are copycats. They will imitate their facebook friends in every aspect; this can be by joining the same groups, posting similar statuses and even trying to befriend people they barely know just so they can have mutual friends.
Gluttony
Facebook: They are copycats. They will imitate their facebook friends in every aspect; this can be by joining the same groups, posting similar statuses and even trying to befriend people they barely know just so they can have mutual friends.
Gluttony
Original: An inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.
Facebook: In facebook terms this is the almost reversed. This sin is committed when the facebooker posts way too much information.
"I just took a dump" is the kind of posts to be expected by these people. They are feeding the rest of us more than we need to know. TMI...
Lust

Lust
Original: An inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.
Facebook: These facebookers are the douchebags & douchettes of the world. They will most likely have hundreds of photos or albums of their bronzed bodies or in are wearing their ed hardy shirts with other douchebags & douchettes. Fortunately these types of people will flock together and leave the rest of us alone.
Unfortunately they are spamming our news feeds as well as tainting the gene pool with their breeding.
Wrath

Wrath
Original: Manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as anger.
Facebook: They tend to air all their dirty secrets on facebook to spite someone. These are extremely malicious people and are to be avoided at all costs. They will attack you everytime you post something.
Deep down they are just unhappy people
Greed
Facebook: They tend to air all their dirty secrets on facebook to spite someone. These are extremely malicious people and are to be avoided at all costs. They will attack you everytime you post something.

Greed
Original: The desire for material wealth or gain. It is also called avarice or covetousness.
Facebook: This type of person can never join enough groups or have enough friends. never mind that they only spoke to the person 5 yrs ago at some party, they are a friend.
They are social whores, plain and simple!

Sloth
Original: The avoidance of work
Facebook: These people are those who spend way too much time on farmville, mafia wars or any other facebook game and take it beyond funny. You join thousands of groups to try make the game better once it reaches a certain level and it just ends up spamming our news feed.
Since you spend so much time on these games, you obviously don't do any actual work.
I have probably missed out on some annoying people but that was never the point. Look at CNN's 12 most annoying types of facebookers or Oatmeal's comic on how to suck at facebook if you want some more.
