pathetiquette

feeling obligated to take action regarding something that has nothing to do with you or anyone you would normally have contact with

commenting on someones facebook status or profile picture change for lack of anything better to say. Just because you are informed of my facebook change, doesn't mean I need you to make a pathetiquette comment.
