Things I’m already sick of in 2010
January 13, 2010 by Miss
And we are barely even 12 days in…
Now that I’m not working, the things that annoyed me before, that I could easily ignore because I was distracted from them, are now in my face like, all day.
Enjoy!
~ Fan Pages on Facebook - Guess what? If I wanted to follow your blog’s fan page on Facebook, I would. I would have the first time you asked. I mean, if I don’t I might miss something right? Because your blog is already in my reader and I already follow you on twitter where you spam us every time you write a new post. Your fan page is totally going to give me new information, on top of my following the “real” you on Facebook too, where your twitterfeed is hooked up and you are probably using the NetworkedBlogs app. Guess what? Saturation is complete. No, I promise, it is. I don’t think I need to follow your fan page for you to know I support you. Plus, truth be told, you probably don’t read here and you certainly don’t comment so being your “fan” is low on my list of priorities. Oh and? This is a big one – if I unfollow your fan page, don’t re-invite me. You haven’t even acknowledged my presence in the better part of a year so um, yeah I don’t think so.
~Momspotting - For those not in the “know”, Sprint or some other crappy phone service sent free phones and a chunk of change to some bloggers in exchange for them tweeting about how they use technology in everyday life with their families or something. It’s pretty mind numbing. “I sent a text to my hubby to pick up tampons for me on the way home and I didn’t even have to leave the couch! #momspotting”. I’m totally not kidding. When is that shit going to end? Obviously you are using technology. It’s 2010. Half of us have phones that can access everything our computers can. This thing isn’t breaking any ground here.
~ Foursquare - Go check it out. Go check it out and if you can come back here and show me a GOOD reason why anyone would actually need to use this website, I’ll write a retraction. I’m serious. Basically, I can go to McDonalds and become its Mayor. AND let you know that I’m mayor of McDonalds on Facebook AND twitter and who knows where else. Excited??! Some places offer you free stuff like wifi and potatoes if you are the mayor. Hey! Guess what! I don’t fucking care where the hell you are and I certainly don’t want you to know where I am. If I did, I’d say “I’m shopping at Fresh and Easy bitches!” in 140 chars or less. And know what? It would be exactly the same. No wait, not true. I wouldn’t get a fake badge. Foursquare is completely worthless. Prove me wrong.
~ Words with Friends – UGH. Ok before you iPhone people start spouting off that I have iPhone envy, let me say this: I DO. iPhones are cool. HOWEVER, you are sacrificing good customer AND phone service and I’m not down with that. AT&T sucks major dick and every single one of you with iPhones know that is the fucking truth. Your phone is cool, that isn’t what this is about. This is about me having to see every damn few minutes “I’m so and so on words with friends! Come add me!” I dont know if the app tweets that for you automatically or what but it’s annoying. Also annoying? “.@iPhoneuser totally kicked my ass using ‘rodent’ on Words with Friends today! LOL haha OMG” or “did you know that WWF won’t take ‘asshat’ as a real word? I totally would have beat @alsoannoying if it would! LOL OMG”. Knock that shit off people. We get it, you have iPhones and are playing Scrabble with them. CONGRATS.
So there you have it. Look at it this way, I have a lot of time on my hands so it’s probably not me, its you.
