eatingThinking

Recently, I came across this line:

“Yes, you can skip your coffee without telling the world.”

Of course, it is referring to this online status feature on Facebook.  And Thank goodness!!  I thought I was the only one who felt that way…

To prove my point, I’ve got a funny story.  It goes something like this.  Some girl updated her current “status” by telling everyone she’s going to take a shower.  Within an hour, about 50 people gave her the “they like it” thumbs up (I admit I was impressed – she had a lot of people keeping track of her).  She was irritated.  So she wrote back “Seriously guys??”

Ok, if she meant it to be funny, then that’s fine.  But if she was truly irked, then I must state the obvious – what do you expect when you broadcast to the world that you are taking a shower!

And where is the statute of limitation here?  I mean if telling the world you are taking shower is ok, then are you also going to tell them when you are going for a dump??

Many people come to Facebook for amusement.,  If you are going to post something of no particular value to anyone, then you can hardly blame your friends for making it into something entertaining for themselves.  Don’t forget, you are the one made them read that useless piece of information first.   And if they come back with something equally useless, it is only fair.

Another case in point, someone got robbed recently because he or she announced that he was going on vacation!  See what I mean?  You have to be sensible about what you post on Facebook or else you will suffer your own consequences !
