Let’s be honest, Facebook is for
old people now. There really is no getting around it. I never check my Facebook
anymore and that’s because I don’t give a hoot about what my grandma did with
her knitting squad.
But, this Monday I was forced to
check my Facebook after a catastrophe happened. I looked down at my phone to
see that my dad and my grandpa had both called me. At first I thought I had
missed my birthday or something because this is a very rare occasion. However,
it didn’t take long for me to realize something was going down. What could it
be?
It turns out my very immature
friend had remembered my password and username on my account. Being the little
bastard that he is, he thought it would be funny to post old embarrassing photos
of me. And apparently I had new girlfriend according to Facebook. My dad and
grandpa were calling to congratulate me and tell me how proud they were. This
was the worst day of my life.
I have a love/hate relationship
with social media. In this particular case you can clearly see how within a
couple of hours people thought I had gone crazy and was dating a model. And the
sad part about today is, people actually count social media sites as a credible
source of information. Even my incredibly intelligent father was fooled by
something so ridiculous.
