As annoying as sharing too many pics of your kids but somehow a wee bit sadder.

Nothing shows the world you have no life better than seeing a badge from a virtual Facebook game. And then there's the Farmville-addicted mom who allegedly... Shiver!

Post every time a famous person dies

Unless you want your place robbed, not bright.
