I particularly like numbers 8 and 10.
See link below for a full list.
9. Don't be a whinger
Cryptic posts of the "Some people aren't worthy of a place in your heart" variety. Moans about failed parcel deliveries. Rants about other drivers cutting you up or shoddy customer service at Ikea... Save them for friends and family, rather than inflicting it on distant acquaintances who'll just think you're a sook.
"8. Social media is not a search engine
Can anyone recommend a good hotel or tradesman? Is the train strike still on? What's the weather going to be like this weekend? Google it."
Social media particularly FACEBOOK - People sharing pointless crap with friends they've never met & don't know.

Not sure why people feel a need to do this, we have a close friend who sends us nuts with emails and text messages relating the mundane details of her daily life.
How do you tell these people to stop, without offending, it really amounts to little more than spam.

Here's an example that we have a laugh about.
A young woman in her 30's that we know posted a photo of herself in her underwear showing EVERYONE how overweight she currently was. She told the whole world that she was ''going to lose lots of weight & get skinny''.
Now a year later she's even fatter than before. Basically she's made a complete idiot of herself.

G'Day Santa - my favourite is number 10 "Put. The. Phone. Down." ......interesting list but if we were all perfect and never committed any or all of those 10 sins it would be a pretty boring world and certainly this forum would not exist. What would we talk about when we visit the barber, pub etc. Sure are some home truths there however.
