Whatever

I’ve also gotten criticism in many ways about what I do/don’t have or do/don’t type on Facebook (a.k.a. FB). I think it’s so absolutely ridiculous.

I got a phone call from a relative that cursed me out about something I typed - really it was maybe 2 sentences long. Yeah, I know. My perspective on that person has completely changed & I do not have intentions of being around them for a long time. I understand where they were coming from, but I don’t appreciate how they talked AT me about it. I was so caught off guard by this person that all I could do was say “Ok” and then when I hung up, well my husband heard an ear full. It wasn’t pretty.

I have a very sarcastic sense of humor. What I typed is something I would say to their face and actually have said it before. The problem is that sarcasm, when typed in black & white, is perceived as “defensive” or “rude”. It doesn’t translate how I intend. So I’m now being very careful about what I do. Isn’t that ridiculous? You bet.

On that same note, I have one person saying “Don’t talk about me on FB”. I have another person asking why they aren’t mentioned on FB. Whether it’s a picture, a comment or whatever. So I’ve decided to do whatever I want & not think about it. My page on FB is about me & my husband. Because my husband says “My FB page is my cell phone”, it’s mostly about me. I put up what I want. I can’t be concerned if I’m hurting others, offending them or whatever. If you don’t like it, then remove me as a friend so you don’t have to read it.

Not trying to be harsh, but well, all I can do now is respond like Will Ferrell in Step Brothers as Brennan or John C. Reilly as Dale do at the end of Dale singing in clip:
