People who share crap with "I don't know if this is true but just in case..."
I have also started hiding posts from a militant vegan friend. She is one of those people who thinks everyone should be and almost all her posts are about animal cruelty and this vegan group gathering or that one.

All of the above are peeves.
Also, people who feel compelled to post every single picture they take wherever they go. Do we really need to see 89+ pictures of you attending a baby shower and then another 100 pictures of you going out for dinner, etc.
eta...I'm about 2 pictures away from de-friending this person.

and the "...most people won't have the courage/heart/whatever to share this post for even an hour...." stuff. Oh yes, that!! "If you hate cancer/Alzheimer's you'll be share this!" Err, no I won't but that has nothing to do with how I feel about the illnesses/conditions you mention.

A friend just started selling some skin care products. She posts before and after pictures several times a day. I like her but am about to hide her...

Vague booking, the "I bet people won't have the courage to share this" ones and also the current UK ones where there's usually a picture of an injured soldier, a veteran or a pensioner and some info about how that person is getting their benefits cut so share the picture....problem is the picture will either have a hashtag or a link to a really militant group who I do not want to give any publicity to! I share the feelings of injustice but won't publicise via a radical group!

All of the above are on my list too. I despise the people who post political rants (I don't care) and nothing other than silly fb memes. I'm on it to keep in touch with friends and family near and far. Maybe I should hide posts from those people?

One thing, and I posted warnings twice last week, after the fake Publix coupon is people post every single fake contest in the world. Do people really think that Walt Disney World's official FB page is WDW.? (Note the Period at the end). Or South-West Airlines? (Southwest is one word, folks.) And then someone will say "Well, it doesn't hurt to try." Yes, it does, when your page gets hacked and your account gets phished. Do some research people!!!!

The ONLY thing that bugs me is someone who only posts links (political, oils, MLM's, food, medical, disease...) or memes (sometimes several times a day), and absolutely nothing about them personally. I want to know about the people I follow, not a bunch of crap on the internet.

As do the other ones already mentioned especially "I know who cares enough to share this . . " rubbish. Also the random statements like "What can I do for athletes foot" which get perfectly legit responses and the Friend comes back with a personal message saying "Ha! You fell for it. It's lets raise awareness for *insert charity of choice* week, Chose one of these totally ridiculous statements as your next status. Message anyone who responds with this message so they too spread awareness. aaaggghhhhhh. On a similar theme, when I click a link from a page I have liked and there are video ads in the margin with music playing or conversations going on. Drives me nuts!

Vaguebooking, "share if you care/scroll by if you are a jerk" posts, my friends who continue to fall for the PS4 giveaways/disneyland trips/etc.- even after my multiple posts telling people how to avoid the scams,the passing around of untrue posts, and instead of apologizing when confronted, they get all defensive and mad that I pointed it out.

I have a couple of friends who always post about real men, and how about playas are worthless and how they deserve to be treated like the queens they are. I have a girl who posts about how broke she is one minute, how she has to better her life to achieve her goals, then she proceeds to book like 4 vacations. Oh yeah, she has a GoFundMe because her hubby hurt his hand playing baseball, and they're "broke". She also has a Disneyland Premium pass, a brand new car, and spends ridiculous amounts of money on hockey (tickets, apparel, memorabilia). Great things to spend money on, just don't know how she does this on a Sbux Barista salary and is shocked she's got no cash.

Vague booking, as in "sigh" or "things are not going well" with no further explanation. The vague bookers want people to ask questions and ponder why they are sighing or asking for prayers with no detail what so ever. I don't play. I ignore the vague posts but it still irritates me. This x1000.

Vague booking - enough said about that already.
Responding to just about anything with an essential oil suggestion.
Posting recipe and/or craft stuff constantly - don't turn FB into Pinterest please!
Not enough puppy pictures - a few of my friends just got puppies and have only posted one or two pictures. Please share the puppy love! ;-)

It really bugs me when people go to a restaurant and take photos of their food before they eat it, and then post those pics. "My yummy dinner at xxxx Restaurant". I have one FB friend who went to Paris and I swear she photographed and posted every freakin' croissant she ate. I love those posts! don't do them much myself..but sometimes.

People who tag me in a photo or status simply because they want me to see it. I'm not in the photo, have nothing to do with the status. MIL is famous for doing this. She also likes to tag me in those "Share if you have a handsome son" because DH isn't on FB anymore. He quit because of her.
I have changed my privacy settings so I have to approve any tags before they go on my timeline.

I use FB to keep in touch with 4 different dog groups so of course those are the posts I like, comment on and occasionally share! If you want to see cute puppy pictures you can follow Samoyed Fans. Ok, that should say if you want to be showered with cute puppy pictures

I want to know about the people I follow, not a bunch of crap on the internet. That would be. I like funny memes and interesting links. I look at other people's funny memes and interesting links. Facebook is my entertainment. It is nice to stay in touch with people but I guess I'm really not that interested in the minutia of their lives. Which just goes to show that Facebook has multiple uses. The thing that drives me nuts is that I have one friend who is a very sweet girl but she is caught up in the R + F skincare pyramid scheme. Several posts a day with doctored before and after photos and advertisements for people to join her "team". And then a half dozen people who are obviously also R + F kool-aid drinkers comment what an amazing opportunity it is.

I seem to use Facebook differently than many people too I'm a very private person so I don't post much myself, but I do enjoy seeing dog pictures, learning dog training tips, seeing things family and friends have posted and looking at interesting pictures or videos. I don't want to see every meal someone is eating, but I do enjoy seeing what came out of their garden. Things I'm not interested in I just scroll by or hide this post.

I have FB friend from my high school days who posts a lot of "I don't know how much more I can take" posts about life that scare me. I've messaged her a few times to check on her, but she acts like she doesn't understand my concern. My older sister committed suicide at 30 and so maybe my mind always goes there, but her posts scare me.

As others mentioned, vaguebooking is an annoyance. I really only have one friend that does that so I have just learned to ignore those posts. She is seeking attention and I see others have learned to start ignoring those kind of posts too.
I also don't like when people post "I'm cleaning out my friends list so either respond to this or I will delete you from my friends list" - I don't respond, if they want to delete me from their list, I don't care one way or the other. PS: They never do. I think they post that and then forget they even posted it.
On a similar note, I dislike those that say "I have decided to delete my FB account, if you want to stay in touch with me, send me a PM and I will send you my email/phone #)." If you want to leave FB, then just leave, don't be melodramatic about it.
One last (but not least) one - which is often posted by the same "friend" that does the vaguebooking is all the gay pride memes. Yes, I know you are gay, your friends all know you are gay, the whole free world knows you are gay. I have no problem with you being gay, at all....but all this friend posts pretty much all day long are gay memes - to the point where I ended up hiding her because it was flooding my FB page.

I have a "friend" that I swear 95% of her posts are complaining about something and asking for help. My husband lost his job, can you all chip in to pay our health insurance since we just bought a home and moved to another state because we wanted to (away from said husband's job). I am so tired can someone come watch my kids today. My son is being so difficult today, can someone have him over for a play date tomorrow. I didn't get to go away for my anniversary because my husband didn't have a job, does anyone have miles so we can go somewhere.
Drives me nuts!

I hate it when my feed changes from "Most Recent" to "Top Stories". I don't care about which posts get the most responses; I want to see the most recent posts.

Yes and Yes!!!
The other one I can think of is people who share "warnings" or "miracle cures". And it's clearly an urban legend. I want to yell "Why are you so gullible?!?!"
Oh, and the school friend who posts 783 Minion memes every freakin day. Nothing else, ever, just memes.

I have started making frequent use of the little down arrow in the right corner of people's posts to change what I see on FB. For instance if Jane Doe posts a cartoon from Aunty Acid every day, you don't have to block or hide Jane, you can just block anything from Aunty Acid. I've noticed that some people on my feed tend to share things from the same few sources most of the time, so by telling FB I don't want to see anything from those sources, I can still see actual updates on my firends' lives but I don;t have to see hundreds of things relating to something they like but I don't.

Vaguebooking.
The "see what happened next..." posts.
"I'm going through my FB friends, post here if you want to stay friends" type posts. I've never responded and I don't think I've ever been deleted.
Memes
Horrible news stories
Mistreated animals photos
