When we first signed up to Facebook in 2007 we were all about the adding. So much friends. So much social. So much fun. Now we’re deleting, because, well, it turns out people are hella annoying.
When asked the main reasons they’d delete someone on the social media site, British adults named ‘excessive bragging’ and ‘nomination posts’ as the top two.
Over 50 per cent of the 2,000 people interviewed by personalised gift website gonedigging.co.uk agreed that they’d deleted people because of both reasons. Yikes.

‘Pokes’ also came in the top 10, with 24 per cent of people saying they’d had to delete someone for using the once-popular Facebook function, which is quite tickling in itself – who knew there were people out there still poking?
Unsurprisingly, excessive selfie-posting is likely to lead to a cull too, with 37 per cent saying they would cut off a friend who posted too many vanity photos.
Maybe it’s time we all pulled ourselves away from Facebook and y’know read a book or caught up with someone over a mug of coffee instead?
