Oh Good, You Farted Today. Thank Goodness You have Facebook.

If you’re like many of us, you have that one “friend” that feels the need to post everything he or she does on facebook. There is nothing sacred when it comes to the information that this person shares. Then there’s those random outbursts of anger. What day would be complete without knowing what kind of so-and-so they think someone is and never mention their name because "They Know Who They Are".
-
In this age of social media, it seems that we are getting to know our friends and relatives better than ever. We know what time they get up in the morning, what they had for breakfast and we are even informed on every family squabble. So much so, that we feel as if we are in the squabble ourselves.
-
I don’t know about you but I really didn’t want to know my friends or most of my relatives that well. There are some things that are better left unsaid or to the imagination at least.
-
Then there’s those “friends” that never post a status update of their own nor do they even comment on any of your status updates. They do however click “like” on everything you post. These are the ones that I like to refer to as the squatters. By clicking “like” on everything it gives them the ability to follow your post word for word with every follow up comment by you and others without any responsibility of actually getting involved.
-
Yes sir, social media has essentially become like that relative that no one likes but they tolerate them, “just because”.
-
Let’s all raise our glass and give a toast to friends, relatives and acquaintances that we wouldn’t open the door for if they came knocking but eagerly tolerate their silly asses on facebook.
