While you would think most people would use common sense when posting status updates, it’s surprising how many ridiculous updates people post. We’ve compiled 7 of the most common status updates that people really shouldn’t be posting. Whether they’ll lose their job because of it, or simply are boring their friends with their status, below is seven Facebook status updates you should never post.
While you may hate your boss, posting about it on Facebook is not the best idea … especially if you’ve friended them already. The girl pictured above has become the textbook example of why you should post about hating your boss. Honestly, it’s probably not a good idea to write that you hate anybody in your status update since it could come around and bite you in the butt, however adding your boss and then complaining about them won’t earn you bonus points. Instead, it will get you fired.I Hate My Boss!
Did you really just finish eating? What did you eat? Did you realize that nobody cares what you’re eating? Posting a status update about the mundane activities in your life only helps others realize that your life is completely boring. In order to spice things up a bit, you may want to say things like “suiting up to go sky diving” even though you just finished a burger at McDonalds.I Just Ate!
Personally, I love to be inspired but posting random quotes throughout the day can get a bit annoying. If somebody needs that extra boost to get them through the day, they’ll let you know they need it (via a status update) at which point you can post your inspiring message in their comments. For those users who think that they are the next motivational speaker to take the world by storm, you may want to reconsider posting your omniscient update because your previous update was about how you drank too much the night before and are now completely hungover. How can someone that’s not making the best life decisions suddenly turn around and drop some knowledge that will be life altering?Inspirational Quotes
It’s really nice to know that your sex life is great, but honestly, most people don’t want to know. While some people may actually be interested, posting a public status update about your daily sex activities as well as your personal bodily functions will not get you any bonus points. In this picture the girl probably needs to get a clue since she’s posting photos of herself in her underwear, but with the status updates combined, I would probably have already lost all hope. I wonder what her mom or future boss will think about the status updates … they’re completely public on Facebook.Sex Updates
We get that some people are posting status updates that inherently make fun of the concept of status updates. While clever, this abstract form of humor has already been done before and when someone posts a status update about how they are sitting on the toilet, nobody cares. Just like the class “Just ate” status update, “sitting on the toilet” updates are more common than you’d think. While Twitter is notorious for such updates, Facebook has users who are just as bad. We know that everybody uses the bathroom at some time, it’s just that nobody really wants to know when you are actually going. It’s great to know that people are potty trained, however being rewarded for successfully pooping is something that should have ended before you turned 5.On The Toilet :)
Telling the world that you cheated on a test probably isn’t a good idea. Even worse would be if you posted a status about cheating and your teacher saw it. Unfortunately for this guy, his status updates are public. However given that he doesn’t have a high bar set for himself (only wants to pass), it’s not surprising that he’s cheating in the first place. This status update is another time where making it public (as this guy did) will not pay off. You just publicly confessed to cheating. Yes, this guy may be forgiven for his public confession, however I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that his passing grade soon turns into a failing one.I Cheated!
Did you just steal something? Perhaps a car or even something smaller? Posting an update that you are committing a crime is a good way to get caught. Then again, you probably shouldn’t need to be taught this lesson … you are simply not a good criminal. Yes, the status update pictured here may not be that ridiculous, but admitting to any crime in a public status update is not a good idea! Just Committed A Crime!

Glad you respected the privacy of others by blurring out the names. Now let's hope no one recognizes the photos, LOL.
Comment by zinger — July 13, 2010 @ 11:51 am
All of them are hilarious but the first one, with the comment from the angry boss is worthy to be quoted, somehow, in Office Wars… But check out the status updates on Twitter and, particularly the trending topics. You'll get tons of involuntary comedy. lol

People actually tell others on Facebook that they committed a crime? How did they actually pull off the crime in the first place being that stupid?
Comment by Andy Nathan — July 14, 2010 @ 4:20 am
Like others Face book is the most favourite of mine to share my feelings. All 7 posts are real time example.

im guilty of doing inspiration quotes at times – but my pet hate is people writing those reposts about putting something on your status for an hour for a cause like cancer etc… like how does that really help???
Comment by megan — July 2, 2011 @ 11:50 pm
Agreed. This "list" irritates me…sorry if every Facebook post I make isn't fine literature.
Comment by Megan — July 5, 2011 @ 10:12 pm
What's so bad about posting inspirational quotes? It's better than writing about the sh*t you just took.
