I just got totally busted on Facebook, probably because of their stupid and intrusive “hey guys! look what your friend left on another friends comment wall!” feature that sucks and is stupid and shouldn’t exist. I thought mine wouldn’t show up cuz I turned that feature off, but I also don’t really know how facebook works, so whatever. There’s still always the possibility that the busting occurred naturally and not through a feature. Here’s what happened:
Late last night I left a happy birthday message someone. It was cute and said something about hoping their day was filled with all the pleasure of a thousand Swedes massaging them and feeding them fruit and wine or something like that. Okay, so I post it and go back to the main page. And there’s another birthday. and the temptation looms…. Why don’t I just paste what I just wrote on this persons page too? Hmmm? why dont I indeed… Well I knew why not to. Just 2 days ago I had scoffed at another friend leaving the same mothers day message on 2 peoples comments. Facebook puts it right on your front page. There it was – the persons name and the comment they left one after another – same message, two people. I identified it as tacky. But then when in the same position last night I gave in to the dark side under confidence I’d get away with it and I copy and pasted the comment to the other persons page.
I went to sleep satisfied with life. But awoke to my horror to see person A had totally caught me and pointed it out on my comment wall, calling me out as the lazy and unoriginal bastard I had made myself out to be.
So I did what I had to do… I rewrote history and deleted the comment I pasted and her comment pointing it out.
