Reasons why Twitter sucks and I hate Boyfriend for forcibly signing me up.

Okay Twitter... or the twitees (that's the word for people who use twitter, right?) I've got a bone to pick with you. You're really really annoying!!! Ever since Boyfriend signed me up for twitter I've noticed that some of the people I follow have some bad habits. Not only is the basis of Twitter annoying: "Tell us your life in 140 characters or less" (biographies will be written in nothing but tweets from now on). But my major peeves with twitter are all the little things you can do in your tweets. Here they are in order of least annoying to wanting-to-rip-my-eyelashes-out annoying:

Tagging people in your posts:

This one isn't terribly bad. It started out so innocently but has become a slippery slope of showing off all the people you know and hang out with. Some people tag so many people in their posts there is no room left for an actual status! It's just names with that dreaded @ symbol. Poor little symbol. It used to just be used for email, but now it is a thing of great power and great stupidity.

Next is those stupid little "#somethingpopularorsociallyrelivat" tags:

Holy crap. Those things are just a cry for attention!! "Look at me! Look at my tweets because I"m talking about awesome stuff that other people are talking about too! Look at me! Look at my thoughts that matter!" NO!! Your thoughts don't matter that much! The only exception to the rule I would give for that are people who make up clever ones (See above. Someone should start using that all the time) or sports teams. Because sports are important and there are plenty of great sports pages and when they're updating a game it's awesome that they use tags like the #caps so I can find out what's going on. No one should give that much of a crap about Brittany Spears on Glee for crying out loud.

And last and most annoying (of course) is RETWEETS:

Especially those sneaky ones like Boyfriends from the other day.

See the RT? Yeah... that stands for "Retweet" and it's a way for people to retweet things but it still show up under their own name. See, when I'm scrolling through my feed on twitter I can spot those retweets from that little symbol they use now (the one with the arrows) and I can spot them ahead of time and make a mental note to skip them. I'm too smart for 'em!! But NOW they've got that stupid RT thing where you can type a little blurb before the thing you want to retweet and it comes up in others' feeds under your own name. TRICKEY TRICKSTERS!! If I wanted to know what those people were saying, I would follow them myself!! (Now I know someone will go back into my tweeting history and found that I have retweeted in the past. ONE THING. And it was Conan O'Brien so sue me. This was before I realized how freaking annoying it is.)

There you go... The most annoying things about twitter. Besides twitter itself.
