Or should I say…Jurr break? Stick with me, it’s gonna make sense in like 5 seconds and you’re gonna totally be all “oooh, lol” n stuff. Check it out: this sneaky geeker iJurr invited me to his Twitter on Myspace awhile back when I was still in “anyone over 30” mode on Twitter (had an account but didn’t really know wtf to do with it or how it works) so I tellzes him to follow me and I’ll hit him back.
Sneaky little trickster does this: he follows me so I see him as a new follower and follow back, but then immediately unfollows. ooooooo. Clevs. So I responded to his message on Myspace that was so fresh it still had steam coming off it, where he said he just followed me and I noted that he is in fact, not a follower of mine. Totally busted, he pretends it was an honest mistake and refollows me, escaping further exposition. So since he took the passive-pretender route, I had to do my best Bree Van De Kamp and brush it all off with a smile even though I was totally wise to his dirty little shenanigans.
Fast forward to just now though, and BAM. I notice iJurr ain’t no follow-urr. Duped! He was just biding his time to slip out the back way and would have got away with it too if it weren’t for you meddling kids! So I called him out in the most manly of fashion: I tweeted.
awesomestguyevr: this doodyhead @iJurr unfollowed me and was all “oops, silly me’z” ab it & refollowed only to wait till i wasnt looking to unfollow me again.
He didn’t like the attention and responded in kind (if you don’t speak Twitter: you read it bottom to top):
So wait. what? “I followed you the first time and the second time.” Uh-doy. I already said that in the Tweet he’s responding to, like DUH. and then “I did unfollow you though.” – which is like – hello? chyea, – I’m aware. kindov what the tweet you’re responding to said… kindov..kindov the only thing the tweet you’re responding to said. but then finally the admission “First unfollow was a glitch second wasn’t!”.
K, so a glitch, ya, that’s a credible alibi. Totally hated that Twitter bug that was going around awhile back unfollowing me on peoples account. Tough times. So then there’s the follow up: “It happens every day to thousands of people don’t be so upset about it that you have to place me in the spotlight! Kthnx” which is just precious. “You are not unique in this situation” is a totally relevant reply to stuff and I’m totally gonna adopt it. Maybe by tweeting that he’s a faggot since I know he can’t get upset about it enough to spotlight me for it since it happens every day to thousands of people. naaaaaaaaaaaah, I’m jus yankin his — nevermind that expression.
For serious though: If Twitter isn’t the place to voice ridiculously unimportant grievances, then one of us has absolutely no idea what Twitter is.
