Applicant social media quotes

How much weight do you put on a new applicant's quotes on social media?

I have one that says "When I am not an alcoholic, I am a chocoholic".

What do you think?  Red flag?

Do you have applicants that says something that raised your eyebrows?

I don't put a lot of stock in what people post on the internet. There's a lot of fantasy in people's cyber lives. That's not to say that I don't let someone's social media presence influence my opinions as to their tenant worthiness. Sometimes pics and posts will counter claims made on applications.
