That is a huge one for me too.

I am choosing not to play basketball in order to spend time with my girlfriend. But please don't tell her...

My other big one vague posts and especially when vague posts are merely an attempt to get people to ask "oh what's wrong?"
Here are some actual examples from my news feed in the last month:

So... I heard something today that I never ever even imagined I would hear. The question now is... what do I do with it? Crushed is not even close to how I feel.

Punch yourself

Is this really how it goes?

It never ceases to amaze me what my so-called friends will do or say... I want to say thanks to those who are my real friends.

I hope one of your so called friends just gave you cancer of the AIDs of the eyes.

You're right I've got to actually start planning your death.
Some of those were from the same person and some of them were from people that I'm friends with because they are friends with my wife and sent a friend request. I used to ignore them but then when you see that person you have to have the "why haven't you accepted my friend request conversation" and I don't have the balls to just say "because I don't give damn about your life".
I enjoy Facebook, so I don't think not using it at all is the answer. I have used the "unsubscribe" feature on occasion but some of the people that make these ridiculous vague posts are friends and family who are seemingly normal well adjusted people in real life and I don't want to miss everything they post.
I've posted on my Facebook before: Context people! If you're going to post things about your life give me context, don't make vague posts in which I have to try to decipher what or who the hell you're talking about.
I can't be alone in this thinking.
