Facebook posts that can be put to pasture

Facebook posts that can be put to pasture. And never brought back again. They can go the way of "baby on board", "my kid is an honor student", or "my kid beat up your honor student".
All Facebook posts that need to stop and go the way of "baby on board", and"my kid is an honor student". Stop. Just stop! 

Pictures of hands making a heart shape. Thank you, Taylor Swift for that obnoxious, overused by teenagers and, NOW hospitals, cloying little gesture.

Pictures of food. Great. You eat. Who doesn't?

Pictures of anyone over the age of 3 with their chin resting on their folded up hands. Grow up. It's almost not cute when kids do it, it's most certainly not cute from a 40 year old. 

Pictures of your lunch. Good for you. You're eating again. 

Pictures of your pet breathing.

The same selfie pose of you 33 times a day, every day. Pull your lips in. That pouty look actually resembles a butthole. 

Messages that end with "if you don't pass this on, you're heartless". Ok. I'm heartless. 

Messages that start with "I laughed so hard, I cried". These always build up the video to such epic proportions you can't wait to see it, only to see someone get hit in their naughty bits, or a puppy and a kid playing together. 

Messages that tell you how to feel: "this video will tug at your heartstrings and you'll never look at ---- the same way again". Yes I will. I saw the same video last week, only it was set in a different country. 

LOL: stop and think. would you really LOL if  you were together in person. Probably not. So, don't lie. Either don't respond, or write Thanks, I got your joke! Or haha. Or if it's dumb, "groan". 

Pictures of your dinner. Great, you're doing the same thing every other person in the country is: eating. Stop bragging. 

The same one word post every single day "Java". We get it, you want coffee.

YOLO: that term has been around since Eve died and didn't return. Adam turned to the snake and said "Wow, you only live once!".

Quotes that aren't verified or attributed to the wrong person: "Don't believe everything you read on the Internet, just because there's a quote and a picture next to it"- Abraham Lincoln
Ben Franklin- "The problem with quotes on the Internet is that you can't be sure of their authenticity." 

Scary unfounded, unchecked rumors: "Ebola found in Collingswood, NJ" "I heard that a student in Sharp school was sent home with Ebola because her father was in Lebanon last week". 

I can probably think of a dozen more but I heard that Facebook is monitoring posts now, lol, and I don't want to get pulled into Mark Zuckerberg's office and questioned.....but hey, YOLO!
