Lurker: People You Hate on Facebook
Definition: A lurker is someone that follows the forum but doesn’t post. – Urban Dictionary
Lurkers never post anything on their social media but have plenty to say on yours. Moments after you post, they slam down a comment. They lurk in the background forever, waiting for their chance to pounce on the smallest infractions. Lurkers correct your spelling, act insulted, ask stupid questions, and are generally annoying.
Seems like they have something to say about everything YOU post. You will never be able to avoid them.

Cat Person: People You Hate on Facebook

A cat person will post 199 pictures of animals for each picture of a human. Even their children take backseat to this Facebookers obsession with cats.

Also, she complains about her hairstylist, mother-in-law, husband and even the checkout lady at the grocery store. It’s apparent the complainer will never be satisfied with anything or anyone. Hence, she is compelled to publically announce her complaints on the world’s forum, Facebook.
Social justice warrior: People You Hate On Facebook
Definition: Social justice warrior is a pejorative term for an individual who repeatedly and vehemently engages in arguments on social justice on the Internet, often in a shallow or not well-thought-out way, for the purpose of raising their own personal reputation. – Urban Dictionary
Social justice warriors find a fresh cause to support each month through Facebook. In January, it’s the mistreatment of animals. By February, she’s battling plastic bags. Finally, by December, when you think she’s lost steam, she’ll kick into high gear and complain about the commercialism of the holidays. They never actually “do” anything to help the cause but simply post on Facebook.
