Social Zombie

A person that is obsessed with social media and feels the constant need of having to be online. This often comes with a complete disregard to actual social beings. They often make use of Facebook, WhatsApp and twitter.
They can physically be recognized by their posture. No matter where they are or in what situation, the Social Zombie always has a smartphone in front of them and their head bent downwards looking at the screen.

At party's they can be seen sitting on the sides of the room in total silence while looking at their phones, and while driving on the street they can randomly occur out of nowhere trying to cross a road while their eyes are focused on the screen instead of the direction they are actually going. They also appear in cinemas, when the room is completely dark while the movie is playing, suddenly a bright light of a smartphone display interrupts your view.
Because they find their digital life more important than their surroundings they do not respond to complaints by sane humans. And sometimes in the midst of a conversation (sometimes they can still talk in real life), they abruptly forget anything you say and instantly put their mind at their social page. Their mind is fused with their phone.

Lastly they create an excess of unnecessary status updates.
(Names are randomly picked)

Eric: So I was at work today, and suddenly this guy tripped, and pulled a shelf with him while he fell! it was a real mess, you should have seen it!
John (Social Zombie): .......
Eric: John?
John: ....... huh? come again?
Eric: argh, I was at work, this guy fell and it was a complete mess!
John: ......wait hold on...... this guy liked my photo.

----

Status update John: I just went to the bathroom.
Status update John: I think my curtain is wrinkled.
Status update John: Why do girls not like me?
Status update John: I can't find my phone's recharger! Life SUCKS!
Status update John: Hi

On the street: SZ's walk with head down, looking at smartphone, often get involved in a lethal car crash accident.
In the store: Standing in front of something you want to grab from the shelf, not moving an inch.
In the cinema: overly bright display ruins your view. SZ finds Whatsapp more important than movie (Seriously what are they doing there?)
On the bike: swaying from left to right while riding, making it unable to pass them.
Within the car: swaying from one lane to another, ignoring traffic lights, running over sane human pedestrians, delayed response.
Going out: Barely speak, easy target for thieves, blocking your path everywhere.

Social Graffiti

Social Graffiti is where a social establishment like a Pub, Club or Restaurant has a cool element (drawcard) and then takes on a group of people, and for its time is great;

Then, as more people become aware of a 'good' spot, friends and family and cousins and exes and neighbours and the blonde guy from House all rock up and overcrowd the place with their shittiness.

This leads to overcrowding and the establishment takes on an unintended crowd.
"That new club started out awesome, but now it's just full of Social Graffiti."

A restaurant I regularly go to used to be a great quiet spot to take a bunch of friends to drink and hang out and enjoy yourself. Now, if you can manage to get a booking - you'll be shoulder to shoulder with morons yelling at the top of their lungs and generally behaving like yokels.

Social Herpes

When a person(s) enter a social circle, become friends with everyone else, then proceed to start large amounts of drama resulting in unrepairable damage of varying degrees. Because of the "infection" to everyone you know, its nearly impossible to get rid of the person(s) that cause the drama.
John: Dude these women are playing everyone against each other. I can't get rid of them either because one is always around everyone else and the other is dating my best friend.

Dave: Dude, you have Social Herpes.

social wrecker

Unregistered overzealous social workers who work for Children Aid Society or Children Protection Services they take it upon themselves to ruin children lives. Most of the time these unregistered social workers are inconsiderate and have anti social skills, they are bullies, have very low esteem and are sociopaths, pathological liars and they are so lost in their power some believe they are above God.
What a social wrecker that imbecile is.

When will that social wrecker stop smiling and rubbing her hands when she sees children crying for their parents.

He is such a social wrecker he can't stop lying, even though I caught him red handed in the cookie jar.
