29 Dumbest Things People Do On Facebook
Hit "Like" button when someone posts something bad

What kind of friend likes it when something horrible happens to you? Lots of 'em, it seems. From complaining about strep throat, to being evicted or even sharing that your dear old grandad died, some idiot is going to just hit the like button and leave it at that.
Posting a status update that you hit someone's car while driving drunk

Oregon teen Jacob Cox-Brown here allegedly did this before getting arrested for it.
Littering other people's walls with your peitions

Save the turtles! Of course we are not against your good causes, but sticking them on our walls is like going to someone's house and putting a campaign sign on their lawn. It's just not cool.
Use Scarface as a profile pic if you are a wanted (alleged) Mafia hitman

Pasquale Manfredi, 33, was on Italy's 100 Most Wanted List and had been on the run for a year when his Faceschnook behavior made finding him a teensy bit easier for police.
Use ye olde pic of yourself as a profile picture

Sure, they're funny and you also just want to show people how adorbz you were, but it gets Norma Desmond-creepy after awhile. Let's see a pic of you from this decade, shall we?
Sharing too many pictures of your cat

As annoying as sharing too many pics of your kids but somehow a wee bit sadder.
Post before and after makeover pictures of your dog

Super dumb. But of course you want to know how to do this, right? Well go on then... How to do dog makeovers.
Automatically post your Twitter updates to Facebook

Cross-posting your boring life makes it seem twice as boring. Choose a venue to crap out your trivial quips and stick to it.
Post your baby's photo as your own

It doesn't make us think "cute kid," it makes everyone assume you have become immensely fat, lost your hair, etc.
Post updates while getting married

Like this guy. Do the smoosh-cake-in-each-other's-faces thing and then post pics. We can wait.
Play Farmville, Mafia Wars or any of those other time sucks

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

RIP whoever. That's what the Academy Award dead reel is for. And who are the freaks who click "like" on these notices?
Drink & Facebook

Let this sleazy stock photo, above, and this other dude's alleged drinky deeds be a lesson to ya.
Do a video appeal in the shower about needing a place to live

Especially if you mention, like Danny Cohen does, that you are on unemployment.
Misspell stuff that the whole world can see

And it's all attached to your name. Like these geniuses who spelled Mosque, "Mosk."
Post on a former U.S. President's Facebook page

Talk about how much you hate your job

Yes it's tempting. And yes, like this teacher you will get fired for it.
Break into someone's house and log into your Facebook account

You'd think we wouldn't have to tell you this. But you'd be wrong.
Mock the cops

If you're on the lam, it's tempting to taunt the police. Try not to. Because like Craig here, they'll be super psyched to nail you.
BBQ endangered animals and post the pictures

Unless you think, "Iguana go to jail" -- don't do it. Read about young Facebookers who allegedly fired up the barbie, roasted a rare animal until well-done and uploaded the pics right here.
Tell people you are going out of town

Unless you want your place robbed, not bright.
Post verdicts of trials that are still in progress

Poke someone

What is this, 2006? The poke feature is now only used by the creepy and/or desperate. It attracts attention, sure, in the same way a grenade thrown into a busy Starbucks would. Ixnay on the okepay, OK?
Go on medical leave and then upload pics of you whooping it up

Like this woman, you may get nabbed by your insurance company for your alleged dumb deeds. SFX: Sad trombone
Throw a sick pet pity party

Your beloved Snookums is on chemo, which sucks. But don't bring the whole world down with an update that you know will pimp people to write, "Oh I'm sooooo sorry." :(
Let anyone tag a photo of you ever

It can and will be used against you.
