Music snobs

People who change their name into Irish on Facebook.. If it wasn't in Irish when ya set it up don't change it.. A poor attempt at patriotic bullshit !..

[paco]

People who put their university (or whatever it may be) qualifications on their facebook name. Eg. John Smith BSC Hons. Do they think it impresses anyone?

[upmonaghansayswe]

Or worse again.. This third person crap..  "Upmonaghansayswe thinks Raoul Moat should come out all guns blazing"

I know someone puts it as a signature on their email  pathetic.

people who says "they say" as in "they say that's not good for you" or "so they say".

3 or 4 years and thousands of pounds of debt for a few letters after your name as the aul boy says. On a (slightly) similar note, university lecturers who call themselves doctors, where did they get that idea?

theres a few grand wasted.
Doctor is an academic title not a medical
one in fact most medical doctors are not qualified enough to genuinely earn the title.
and yes titles do actually impress employers. with people educated to degree level earning significantly more that less well qualified co-workers . employers do read facebook.

and employers pick employees from facebook so people have to put their degrees on there?

Cop yourself on... He was on about putting academic titles on a facebook page not your C.V... The first being pathetic, the latter being essential..

It's right up there with people who casually drop in to conversation what salary they're on or how much they made last year or how much they paid for the car etc

Noy sure about the rest of you, but when I see it on facebook my immediate thoughts are not of how impressive it is but the fact that that person is shallow and so insecure that they need to constantly reassure themselves and others of their qualifications via a social networking website. Or that they think it makes them more important than others, perhaps.

In certain careers, and companies  -- this is essential practise - and we are required to put our credentials at the bottom of our email in a reoccuring signature. Its very very common in my field, and not something I've ever given much thought to, never mind being pathetic.

I am not saying that there is no one in the world who has put their credentials on facebook through a desire to impress other people, but I am pretty confident that that reasoning alone, would be rather unusual. As someone else mentioned, employers are constantly researching potential new employees through these tools. Facebook is more to some people than just a fun thing, it can be an essential asset when looking for, employers, and employees.

I can never help but think that people who get bothered by these small things that other people do, have some self egotistical reason for their botheration. I'm of the opinion that if it truely didnt bother you - you'd never mention it.

These kind  of people certainly have ego and or image issues. Image is obviously very important to them, which is sad.
