You can ask anybody that really knows me, and they would tell you I'm ultimately a laid back guy who doesn't let too much get me. I can let anything just brush off me like dirt on a pair of jeans (what a cheesy simile). But one of the few things that can REALLY ANNOY ME is when someone takes to a social network to non-directly talk about someone. For instance, say I make you mad because we made plans, and plans fall through last minute on my part. Then I read on your Facebook status which may go along the lines of "Please dont waste my time. I could have found something better to do instead of waiting around." Now, do I see my name in that status? Negative. But I'm 95% sure it's about me, unless ironically, you just happened to have had ordered cable TV and the guy didn't show up on time to install it. Jesus, in all honestly, I'd actually be less peeved if you went on Facebook and ACTUALLY said, "Don blew me off today, now my day is ruined and I aint got shit to do." I feel like when someone does that, its because they're scared of the confrontation or situation it could cause. They want to talk about a certain someone for everyone to see, but deathly afraid of that person finding out its about them, and responding. The overall concept of doing this seems silly, doesn't it? Now, what I'm doing right now on this blog might make me sound like hypocritical, because most likely this situation happened to me, and I'm blogging about it. But this is more of a general complaint, because I'm sure ALL OF YOU have been on either side of this situation. Oh Social Networking, the best place to talk down on people without the face to face confrontation. And I thought 12 year old kids talking about my mom on Xbox Live was bad......
