Like Twitter, Facebook is a great social networking tool. And like Twitter, it can also be used for evil — way too many people spam our news feeds every day with bullsh-t about Farmville and photos of their vacations that we really don’t want to see. Defriending someone on
Facebook is a measure of last resort, but here are some reasons you might have to go there.
7 They’re spamming your phone

And while it’s easy to block peoples’ statuses from your news feed, the iPhone Facebook application won’t let you. The mobile app also has a tendency to show the same dumbMafia and Farmville spam over and over again, taking up the entire application and rendering your news feed useless. So if someone’s playing those games and your phone is the victim, feel free to defriend them.
6 They keep commenting on your posts

But it’s hard to get other peoples’ thoughts when you have one Facebook friend who’s always the first person to comment on your statuses no matter what. You try to post updates at different times of day, but he always gets there first — it’s like he never logs out. If you just can’t get him to stop, you gotta defriend.
5 They keep commenting on OTHER peoples’ posts

Let’s say one of your douchebag Facebook friends comments on her wall post saying “hey dude, is this the girl you were telling me about?” Defriend, defriend, defriend.
4 They’re strangers

3 They keep sending you event invites

If you want to organize a special event, then by all means, invite people on Facebook. But when you have a radio show that goes on every single week at the same exact time and you keep sending me weekly invitations, you are going to get defriended. No hard feelings.
2 Their statuses show a whole new side to them

Or you shared way too much information about your boy problems and now I can’t ever look at you the same way without thinking about that one thing he did with the ice cream and his finger. Sorry, but we’re not friends anymore.
1 They pretended that you were dead

Especially if someone just called your mom to send condolences.
