Unfollow them and don’t forget to say, “eno 7ayawen w sheyef 7alo.”

Contrary to popular belief, the fact that you have a twitter account doesn’t give you wide-reaching expertise in areas of politics, society and psychology.

6. You must support important causes.

Whenever watching a sports match, make sure to tweet every single detail – like goals, fouls, your opinion about the referees and the players.

And in the end, always try to look cool and original… just like everyone else.
