Overly hype people who just died. Even when people don't know the person at all, or if the person was a piece of shit... when they die, they are suddenly some kind of saint and it is sad that they're dead.

I'm not sad when people I don't know die. Death is a normal part of life. Being friendly and positive towards someone is a good thing, but maybe... just maybe... do it when they're still alive. When they're dead and you talk about how great they were, but never said anything like that while they were alive, then you're only doing it for your social standing. It's something really disgusting.
