Well, smurf you too.

So, for the second time in 5 days, Missouri is getting a foot of snow. I made a status on Facebook:

">10-14 inches of snow in a few hours
>"Do we have enough booze?""

My pastor from the church I grew up in (ages 8-15) decided he'd comment on the status.

"OMGosh, You leave for a few years and everything goes to booze in a hand basket. I don't think I taught you that. Who's your pastor now? I may need to speak with him. LOL"

And you know what? It smurfing pissed me off. It's none of his smurfing business what I choose to do (regardless of if I make a joking comment on Facebook or not). And it's certainly not his place to scold me.

What things have people said to you that just make you want to say, "Mind your own smurfing business."?

This is why I don't talk about this kind of stuff on Facebook. Because it's 50% Mormon friends/family. :shobon:

I CHOOSE YOU, CRYSTAL!

CRYSTAL, USE BITCH ATTACK!

*Crystal uses bitch response attack*

The Pastor takes 50 hp to his Ego!

Crystal is unfazed because she doesn't know him and never will!

I love you, my darling. <3

Clo responded to him.

"Chane, I know you may feel that your comment was "cute," but I feel like it came off as rude. So no one can enjoy a drink in the warm weather without coming off an alcoholic?"

i tend to keep my business to myself on the internet, and if i'm open about it it's usually filtered to the specific audience (facebook/twitter/eoff/etc) and rarely crossposted. that's just my way of avoiding situations much like this

and zomg your morals are GONE because you drink ALCOHOL. here i'm gonna have some alcohol now, everyone watch the world end

edit: it didn't end

I have the advantage/disadvantage of having my family silently disapprove of my online shenanigans and talk trash about me when I'm not around most likely. Not ALL of my family is like that, but I am sure a couple of my Uncles, Aunts, and cousins don't like what I have to say/get weirded out by me.

Don't both me any. If they don't like it they are free to unfriend me.

WHO ELSE HAS ENEMIES, LINE 'EM UP, I'M ON A RAMPAGE.

Exactly, Sephex. If you have such an issue with what I say, either hide my feed, or unfriend me.

Simple as.

The best thing about all of this is that my MOTHER, HIS EX-BEST FRIEND AND FORMER EMPLOYEE, commented on my status saying that she taught me well.

P.S. Sam's mom smiled at me, ya'all be jealous, she likes me best.

You want me to chime in with something. Are they still scared of Marilyn Manson?

I don't know what to say to this

Every single person in this thread is an utter disappointment.

"Jack Daniels."

This is why I don't post anything except the occasional picture on Facebook.

Why do you have your pastor friended on Facebook? I stopped using Facebook so I don't run into this crap

I'm very careful to ensure that all my status updates (when I do update) don't come back to haunt me. I see some of my friend's statuses, and sometimes I do go... "wha?" :screwy:
I also make sure that I never get my family, not even brothers or anything, on Facebook. it's better kept that way.

Also, why do you still have your old pastor on Facebook? He's from like, years ago.

Nosy people drive me up the wall but they are everywhere.

Didn't you hear? The whole point of Facebook is to add people that you met once ten years ago

My girlfriend and I recently found out that we are expecting. Her brother called me and gave me a piece of his mind, which consisted of telling me I'm a loser, she should leave me, our plans will fail, etc. I decided to be the bigger person and not retaliate, but I was furious the rest of the night.

Oh wow! That sucks about the bro thing but congrats eric!

:o for real? Congrats!!!

>OMGosh

So my sink got clogged and it took my landlord over a week to fix it. Eventually, the plumber--who turns out to be a friend of the landlord--comes about and fixes it. Apparently there was a lot of rice? But I always use the filters in the drain so? Anyways, this was a few weeks ago. So naturally when he comes my kitchen is a mess. I have not had a sink for over a week. No, I did not use the bathtub instead, too much work. The other day I get a call from my concierge telling me that the plumber dude told the landlord that my place was messy so the landlord asked the concierge to tell me that we should keep the place more clean. Now my concierge is a nice lady and was obvious she felt awkward about it. I know I can be messy (I have clothes and papers on the floor but it is because I am always taking things in and out of my bookbag and run out of room for all my books!). Anyways, the point being is that it pissed me off. Whether or not I am a little messy is none of my landlord's smurfing business. AT. ALL. Also, if people did not take so long to fix the problem, my kitchen would not be a mess. Hmmm? Seriously, it is not the smurfing plumber's business nor my landlords. As long as I am not damaging the place, like smurf off.

Congratulations G13! I can't wait to hear if it's a boy or a girl, and it's name.

As for your brother, have you spoken to girlfriend about him? Any other family members?

I didn't really need to speak to anybody about him, the lout bragged about his "learnin' me" to his family. It's all falling on deaf ears, though, it's pretty widely known that he's an idiot. Still, the idea that being a "bigger man" means allowing him to speak to me like that is infuriating.

You should just Steve him next time he opens his mouth.

All the time on Facebook. I seriously stopped posting anything remotely resembling myself outside of the mundane because I'd have "concerned" people to the point where they attempt to discuss religion or politics whenever I went on Facebook with some topic they deemed inappropriate.

All of the folks in my old church ward thought I was a bad apple, anyway. I don't think they'd be surprised to see anything on my facebook.

Having said that, I am not friends with any of them on facebook because I don't want to see their trout or give them a chance to comment on how much I've changed.

There is one guy I am seriously thinking of taking off of my facebook. He spends all day on the site basically badmouthing people and their beliefs and/or political views and its upsetting me. It isn't even a "this is an opinion I have that I am sharing" its a "you are so dumb for thinking ____. What's wrong with you". Plus he has some posts that are just like "How do you not know about [insert computer terms that a lot of people don't know]. What are you, a moron? How could you not even know your own computer?". When I'm sure there are many many things he doesn't know about that he could benefit from.

I don't know, it just bugs me how he basically spends all day sitting on facebook and attacking other people. Doesn't he have better things to do, like go lose some weight because he is very much unhealthy right now? Or go try and get a job? Or finish school, which he dropped out of? Or go volunteer, or something. There has to be a more productive way to spend his time than attacking people constantly to make himself feel better.

Ax him. What's the benefit of keeping him as your friend?

Also, you people who feel like you have to hide your statuses or can't post what you want because of certain people - that's terrible. I understand that somehow society has drawn an emotional line to their slot on a friend page, but if you feel like you can't speak freely with some people, why not just hide your updates from them instead of restricting yourselves?

The only reason I had him on facebook is because the guy has very little in the way of friend's so I try to be nice and talk to him and check up on him once in a while to help him feel better. But I dunno, I'm losing all sympathy I have for him.

Maybe a kick in the reality is what he needs so he can stop being a blowhard and get some friends.

you say its none of his business yet you post it on FACEBOOK for everyone to see? I dont follow.
Am i missing something here?
His comment, while a bit rude, was most likely a joke...

For me, Facebook got creepy and awkward a while back. I used to post too much to it and got caught up the feedback cycle but then at one point I just stopped checking it and realized I was a lot happier. Then my gf deleted hers, and I deleted mine, and I haven't really missed it since.

I've picked up my Twitter account and post some stuff there, but mostly I like reading things comedians or interesting people I like post. I think social networks have become too prone to drama unless you're really diligent about your privacy settings and pruning your friends list, which I just think is an awful lot of work for something like that. Ain't nobody got time for that.

The web was a lot more fun for me when it was just a secret clubhouse and it's becoming less and less like that over time and it makes me sad.

I even made a note of this.

But, no. Just because something's on Facebook doesn't mean it concerns you.

The point is, if you think I'm such an alcoholic, either don't respond, or delete me.

And no. It wasn't a joke. People don't make jokes like that and not mean it.

That's typically what I do when someone I care for is acting in a way that concerns me. ;)

I'm a pretty troutty facebook friend. If someone posts something with a conflicting view to mine that is explained in absolute ignorance and general horribleness, I will comment on it. I know that it's asking for trouble, but Idgaf. Many people have done the same to me. If someone's responses bother you on facebook, it's probably best to remove them or hide your posts from them trather than trusting that they'll stick to only polite comments.

If it doesnt concern them then why let them see the post? People will comment when they want. It wasnt entirely the commentors fault here. Sure, it was a rude comment, but i dont agree with you about the joke part. I make jokes like that a lot and i never mean them.
If you let everyone see your posts, you are asking for trouble. Its like screaming something out in public and complaining when someone tells you to shut up.
Im not on the other guys side, but i think youre giving him too much of the blame.

But Philip already does that :(

This is why we're the perfect couple :bigsmile:

I'd be inclined to believe lol it isn't a joke lol because the dude is a pastor and Sam actually knows the guy lololol. Adding lol to something rude doesn't make it a joke lol, that just makes it awkward. lololololololololol lol lolololol!!!!1111oneonelol

trout, I do that to random people I don't know who have commented on friend's posts. What's the point of the Internet if not to get into slapfights with strangers?

Trollhunter

I just want to point out--when you make jokes like that, they may be jokes. But obviously you're using your true opinion and saying it's a "joke." There are some jokes that are just jokes. There are some jokes that aren't. And you might be pissing people off and/or hurting their feelings, and you don't even know it.

Not necessarily. Its usually a HUGE exaggeration on the situation, and a lot of times i dont even believe the realistic version. I dont joke about my serious opinions, as i dont know how to. The people i do this to has severely died down as i have hurt some peoples feelings, but i still do it to close friends that know im kidding.
This is obviously where the pastor was in the wrong, and he may believe you are an alcoholic. That isnt my place to say.
I will back off on the joke part though, as that matters not anymore.
Now, what about the other points i made?

I wasn't addressing those, because I disagree with you.

Why do you disagree? Just ignoring it wont get us anywhere.

I am not obligated to argue with you, thanks.

I already told you why I disagree.

Fair enough.

People, who the smurf cares about what other people think. I would have taken that as a polite joke, I wouldn't even get into a fit.

Ma'am, if your angry either you let him know or move on laughing.


EDIT: I'm a bit too late.

Or kill him. :shifty:

:colbert: You know what you did.

I really don't understand, like, 98% of you. :colbert:

I don't have a problem with my facebook friends I have a problem with the friends of friends because I can still sometimes see their trout. Literally. Some guy posted his huge turd on fb for friends of friemds to see. And the another one his penis. People please do me the favor and hide your stupid friends.

ehhhh

"do you like turtles?"

I LOVE TMNT.
