Aunts: they keep their friends close, and their nieces and nephews closer.

Do you or someone you know have an aunt friend on Facebook? Of course you do, Facebook is like 75 percent moms and aunts now. There's no escaping the fact that our mother and father's sisters are the new queens of the news feed, and if you've spent more than 10 minutes on the social network recently, you've probably been affected by one of these rogue relatives.

It's not too late to do something about the awkward comments, constant game invites and shared links to news stories about a secret the government is hiding. Keep an eye out for these aunt-based crimes against Facebook and speak up so we can all stalk our exes and check up on old high school friends in peace.
