Thanks Yvette — Those kind of “personal” questions are so annoying. I just had a local (as in IRL person) that started following me recently. I try to follow all the local people that I can, and as soon as I followed back I got a silly spam message. Was sort of annoying!

What’s your Twitter username by the way?

Very good stuff. I agree with all of it. I’m also not very fond of getting added by random businesses. Example: I got a request the other day from a hotel in Hawaii. I live in Colorado, and currently unemployed thanks to the wonderful economy. I don’t think I’ll be planning a random vacation anytime soon. :)

Ahahahaha. People from New Jersey. +10 Awesome points to you Sam.

Mine kind of goes along with the Suits category, though I’ve seen a few that were not in suits. Anyone who’s bio I read and it makes them seem egotistical. The classic “I’m better than you are!” for example. It also occurs in their tweets. If they’re constantly bad mouthing every one they @reply to they get not only me not following them but also the good old block button.

Also people who don’t use complete words and shorten everything. It’s ok to shorten a few words if you need to make something fit, but when you have a total of 10 words in a sentence and none of them are over 5 letters because you’ve put numbers or random symbols in because you think it makes you look cool. That’s a reason I don’t look at the trending topics. They are also the ones usually spelling words incorrectly on purpose. i.e. iz instead of is. Things along that line. It’s just plain ridiculous and annoying.

That’s why I unfollowed 171 people the other day.

Oh and we can’t forget the link spammers who interact with people but also post 20 links in a hour. I unfollowed quite a few of them the other day.

I can’t think of any others at the moment.
