- People that can't watch their mouths because I have family members that are connected.

- This one is the big one...the people that are just using you to pad a friend count. They are never interested in your status and when you post on their wall or reply to their status, they never reply back. I even had someone restrict me from posting on their wall, but kept me as a friend. And this phenomena I've found usually happens with people that you have physically met and have a real social relationship with on some level (ex. people that hang out at the same bar on a certain night, classmates). I have no second thoughts about unfriending them....they won't miss you and will have 3 more "friends" to replace you tomorrow.

- An unreal amount of gaming requests. As a working man, I don't even have time to play *real* games, so don't friend me because you need a homie for Mafia Wars.

I only really unfriend people if they are morons and like to show off how dumb they are by posting it on their status

People who make constant farmville/rate this garbage posts, my ex wife, people who post multiple times a day about their stupid kids who I never met...etc.

I have never unfriended anyone but my sister and a few relatives/family friends; rather not have them spying and commenting on my life and interests when I next met them irl. Other than that, I only accept friend requests from people I know properly. This social networking stuff can make me laugh sometimes.

I don't use FB, but I just recently removed a load of contacts from MSN because I never talk to them. "Unfriend" is such a stupid term for deleting a contact.

People I don't know. A pretty good reason I don't have many friends on Facebook.

I wasn't sure how to unfriend people so I just clicked "hide all posts by this person". I've unfriended a few fake accounts, but for people I know who just post dumb stuff all the time I just click hide all their posts.

I just unfriend people I don't know a month after the friend request. They won't notice anyway. But if you decline at the moment, the person tends to try to contioniously friend :/

I unfriend people who post too many depressed / bored updates. Everyone's entitled to be upset once in a while but the ones that just whine on FB are not people who belong on my friends list! Also people who spam / post stupid things all the time. I generally give the person a few months to turn things around once I notice they're worthy of deletion and if they haven't then they're off. I also delete people straight away who post updates saying they're deleting people. It's desperately attention seeking and it pisses me off. I curb my friends list quietly (apart from now obviously!)

I'm the one being de-friended for posting snide remarks.

I haven't unfriended anyone on Facebook. It's just a social networking tool and I don't post anything interesting or personal enough to warrant removing anyone from seeing it. If I don't want to look at their crap, I just simply won't. I don't take it too seriously and I don't think that highly of myself.

Completely depends on their level of annoying. And a lot of things can be annoying.
