They say that knowledge is power. But knowing that I have to eat my caviar with a 2'' mother of pearl spoon hasn't yet empowered me in any way. In today's world, the only etiquette I see relevant is the social one. So this is my call to my 1994 etiquette teacher. If you are still alive, please consider updating your course material to Facebook etiquette.
Because Facebook is not Hi5, sending a friend request to someone you do not know, have never met, and have no friends in common with is a big faut pas. Yes, I could update my privacy settings so that no one is able to add me, but then I wouldn't have material to write this blog about, would I?
I got a friend request from a complete stranger this morning. We are in no way connected, and live on different continents.
Let's face it. No guy just wants to be friends. In his ingenious hit or miss plan of sending out mass requests to girls, he unfortunately "hit" a very cynical one.
I just couldn't let him get away with it. Hit play or scroll through the slideshow to see his profile pictures and my thoughts on them.
Am I being too harsh? maybe. But who knows, maybe this guy has a blog making fun of my asymmetrical haircut and attached earlobes.
*Dear person I just publicly ridiculed. Don't take it personally, I'm just a mean girl.
LOL I loved the comments below each picture! =D
ReplyDeletewhy the self-hating? egypt charges a pretty penny for that cotton. and quite frankly putting down a working class south/central american for reaching out to you on a 'questionable' social medium ie HI5 is down right pathetic.
ReplyDeletethere is a fineline between sarcasm and being mean and congrats you've just crossed it.
and i though canadians were the nice ones who consumed way too much caribou and hockey with a penchant for screaming 'eh' at the end of every sentence!
sincerely,
ejeebshan!

ReplyDeleteI really appreciate your comment and want to address some points:
1. I have absolutely nothing against Egyptian cotton. If anything, it's the best thing we have next to the pyramids.
2. The guy is Egyptian not American, if that even matters. I am not mocking him personally (and I say that in my last sentence), I'm mocking a "type", if that makes sense.
3. I do admit crossing over to the bitch side on that one, which is why my last paragraph is apologetic.
4. mmmmmmm.... caribou :)
must admit I crossed the line myself, was referring to the 'said act' as pathetic not you personally. In which case i do apologize!
ReplyDeleteI heard caribou goes great with a side of grape leaves and hummus!
NOW CAN I GET AN EHH?
Grape leaves and hummus, "EH"?
ReplyDeleteHow was that?
Well that’s just abeeeeewt right :P
ReplyDeletefor what it’s worth the denizens of my fair city have their own peculiar form of diction as well.
btw keen insight into people’s mannerisms and idiosyncrasies keep it up it might lead to a screenplay or a book!
As they say back home where that cotton grows SHEERS!
I dunno, I was always a fan of messages some "special" people send to girls they dunno asking them to accept their friend request..This stuff is gold! :P
ReplyDeleteSlide number 4 looks like a recruiting poster for some kind of gay jihadist group.
