43 Annoying Things People Do On Twitter

Retweeting compliments, boring inane chat about your significant other and more. If you're guilty of anything on this list, make it your Twitter New Year's Resolution to KNOCK IT OFF.

Think of this as a a “check yoself” passive aggressive New Year’s Twitter (mostly) resolution list…for OTHER PEOPLE.

1. I don’t care about your Last FM stats.

2. I don’t care about your “new jam”.

3. Definitely go for a “strawberry is my jam” joke, LOL amirite?

4. I don’t care what you unlocked on Get Glue.

5. You are not the “mayor” of anything. Buying an egg and cress on brown in Pret a Manger more than once a week is not a municipal government position.

6. LOL! OMG! Someone in a low-wage menial job who speaks English as a foreign language misspelled my name on a takeaway coffee cup!!!! Here’s a picture!!!

7. “Starbucks red cups” is not a “season”. No, not even if you use the Valencia filter.

8. “Thanks for the RT, @name.” I’m really excited to find out someone retweeted you. Are you lonely, too?

9. Tweet more about your boyfriend, do.

10. Manual RTs of unlocked accounts: you are the devil and no one likes you. But “Ha! RT…” is obviously brilliant, you’ve really added value to the joke and we applaud your effort.

11. DM: “thanks for the follow, add me on Facebook”. I will blow up your ISP.

12. MOAR links to your self-published 99p ebook? What a treat!

13. “Cool, a #FF, let me just reply all to everyone on this list.”

14. “Everyone on my timeline is talking about #TVShow. I don’t watch #TVShow.” God, you’re interesting. Make love to me?

15. Thank you for retweeting that celebrity parody account into my timeline so I know to block it in case of future incidences. Together, we can stop this torment. Wait, you were serious?

16. I think the best solution to feminist infighting proliferated by blogposts is to write a blogpost about feminist infighting proliferated by blogposts about a blogpost about feminist infighting proliferated by blogposts.

17. #justsayin = #justunfollowed

18. Did you just RT a compliment? DID YOU? Go to your room.

19. Follow. Wait for reciprocal follow. Unfollow. Repeat. Marvel at your follower:following ratio! Dive into the sea of that ratio like Scrooge McDuck into a swimming pool of gold coins!

20. “Friday night and I’m staying in with a bottle of wine on the sofa, rock’n’roll hahahahaha!” See also: “Hahahaha I’m 23 and I like [incredibly ordinary activity most people enjoy]. Soooo oooollllllllddd!”

21. Everyone has now seen the picture of the dog dressed as two dogs carrying a present.

22. Ditto the dog dressed as a pirate.

23. Seriously.

24. I’m so glad you linked your Twitter to your Pinterest and went on a pinning spree!

25. “Wow, today’s date sure does have numbers in it, in an order.”

26. “So fed up with people saying today’s date sure does have numbers in it, in an order.”

27. “So fed up with people complaining about people saying today’s date sure does have numbers in it, in an order.”

28. Tell me more about your opinion on Caitlin Moran.

29. A breaking news incident! Has anyone made a Gazza, chicken and a fishing rod joke yet? To the keyboards!

30. A breaking news incident! A parody account of this would be SO funny!

31. Hashtag games.

32. “One more follower till I reach an arbitrary number!”

33. Morning.

34. To properly mourn a celebrity, use the following tweet construction: “RIP, Celebrity Name. [Google, Wikipedia, Ctrl+V famous quote].”

35. RIP, Celebrity. Hilarious pun.

36. That “RIP journalism” tweet with the screen grab of a Katy Perry/Russell Brand news story is A YEAR old. Also you stole it.

37. “Hey, @name, something that is relevant only to you.” So glad you included that “hey” first so we could all join in. See also: “.@name.” Fight, fight, fight!

38. On a similar note, we all love it when you complain to corporations on Twitter and let us all watch. Warm fuzzies!

39. “Hahahahaha! MT @name luv ur mangled txt spk shtning of joke.so u cld fit in ur impt comentary.”

40. “Why is #hashtag trending?” Great question!

41. Your gif avatar doesn’t annoy me at all. *eye twitch*

42. Subtweets.

43. Caring so much about the minor irritations of a free social networking site no one is forcing you to participate in– oh…

This is brilliant. Everybody does something that's annoying on Twitter. My least favourite is #WhatI'mWearing. Do one.

All about the love 12:55 pm, 16-Jan-2013

A brilliant story..Some of them had me laughing out loud.

Howard 1:46 pm, 16-Jan-2013

19 is good but you can catch the fuckers out with unfollowers.me

Oli 3:20 pm, 16-Jan-2013

You missed out anyone who says 'nom', 'nom nom' or 'nom, nom nom'. Fuck. I fucking hate myself right now for even typing it out. Fuck all of you 'nomming' cunts!

Disgruntledberg 3:37 pm, 16-Jan-2013

OMG OMG OMG!! How do I tweet this?

alex 3:58 pm, 16-Jan-2013

so the moral is twitter is for cunts

Jim 7:57 am, 17-Jan-2013

Related to 28: the number of pay wall links Caitlin and others post to Twitter with no warning.

Quaddie 5:53 pm, 14-Feb-2013

YES! Many a time I've clicked on a trending topic just to see a stream of "Why is #hashtag trending?" Fucking assclamps. Can we add 44: Anything to do with those little shits who try their best to get their favourite boyband/singer trending? Oh, and 45: "The awkward moment when I see (insert name of decent person/dead person/interesting news story) trending, and immediately think of that cunt from Wand Erection!!!" Fuck you.

mick mccarthy 1:47 am, 24-Feb-2013

heres an idea - unfollow & stop bitching.

mick mccarthy 1:48 am, 24-Feb-2013

and get a sense of humour while you're at it. cause theres a distinct lack of one in this article.

You're Not Funny 1:37 am, 19-Mar-2013

Agree with Mick. Harriet needs to go back to Facebook where she can control the social media experience with an iron fist. Just sayin'. Silly bitch.

You're Not Funny 1:38 am, 19-Mar-2013

You moderate your comments, too? Oh my. What a control freak. No wonder you hate Twitter.

Haydrion 12:35 am, 25-Jul-2013

In better short words say everything on twitter is annoying, because all the points are just twitter.

Haydrion 12:36 am, 25-Jul-2013

you forgot the justinbieber hash tags and trending twitter, because that is the number one annoying thing on twitter
