- Speaking of Social Media I just wanted to blow off steam as far as the top five things that drive me crazy about it…
- People who keep messaging me and asking me to play lame Facebook games. For the record. They’re lame!! I will never respond to these requests. Stop sending them. Even now, I am hovering over the “unfriend” button. Seriously, stop!
- Photo spamming. I enjoy seeing what you did for vacation this year—really, I do. But not what you did every 5 minutes!! I worry too much of this can kill brain cells faster than vodka shots followed by a rubbing alcohol chaser! I’m sure there’s a study out there somewhere that will back me up on this.
- Closely related to number 2… Many people get so wrapped up in themselves that they actually believe that every detail of their lives will be of blissful, nirvana like interest to their followers. In reality however, your constant barrage of trivial posts are forcing them to remove all sharp objects from the room before they go on Facebook and Twitter and risk being exposed to another round of, “murder by trivia.”
Seriously, What makes us think anyone wants to know about…
- When you woke up,
- What song you heard twice on your way to work,
- How much you hate Siri (Doesn’t everyone?),
- What you think you’ll eat for lunch,
- How busy you are,
- What your cat did,
- What your dog did , Scratch that, we do care about what dogs do!
- How many miles you walked or biked, or ran/hours you worked out, etc.
- Closely related to number 3…Constant food photos. Whoever thought this was a good idea? I mean, if you’re Julia Childs, ok. Or even Meryl Streep playing Julia Childs…maybe. But ordinary Joe? No way! No one wants to see your nasty food pics from every meal since Facebook was invented.
- The gossip/slanderer. Shouldn’t this one be obvious? Well apparently it’s not. Facebook seems to have more verbal terrorists than ISIS has real ones. And I see “Christians” do this all the time. Why? Isn’t it enough that God says over and over again in His Word that He HATES gossip?! Or, like the foolishly labeled “white lie,” do we actually believe that Facebook gossip doesn’t count? Well it does, so, seriously, just stop.
