Doing the Wednesday WTF has taught me a couple of things I could have gone on happily without knowing. For example, people are batshit-crazy obsessed with Justin Bieber & One Direction. It’s like Backstreet Boys and Nsync all over again, except less talented. Also, the majority of Tweeters can’t tell the difference between you’re and your. Oh, and most importantly, half of the people doing the various hash tag trends are either A. Giving way too much info, B. Talking themselves up, C. Talking themselves down in the hopes that someone else will talk them up, or D. Posting gibberish that has no discernible meaning.
Today’s hash tag is #10ThingsIgetAlot. Of course most of the posts were made by girls giving themselves compliments (Barf). I honestly doubt that very many of them are told how super sexy or gorgeous they are all that often. Not that it isn’t merited, but there is a pretty big difference between getting told something ‘a lot’ and having been told it once or twice in the span of your entire life. Just sayin’.
#10ThingsIGetAlot "Your not fat" ….kinda pisses me off because i know im being lied to.—

You’re*. This is one out of about a thousand tweets saying this same thing. Variations included “You’re so skinny” or “You’re so tiny but you eat so much”. We get it, you want the world to know/affirm that you’re thin. Attention monster wants attentions!
#10ThingsIGetALot I heard your ___ is big, is it true? (; LOL—

What self-respecting person would ask that? Or perhaps the better question is; can we can round-up the supposed ‘many’ who have and throw them off a cliff?
#10thingsIgetalot "You won't like Justin Bieber in a few months"- 2 years and I'm still going strong. YOU KNOW NOTHING.—

Keep calm and Bieber on. (I swear, Bieber fans are taking over twitter. Oddly, so are Harry Potter fans. Are the majority of users 12 and stuck in 2009?)

I hate to be the one to tell you this… but… you’re white.
#10ThingsIGetAlot "omg you're ginger" REALLY I HADN'T NOTICED—

Kudos for Ginger power, using the correct form of ‘you’re’ and being funny. I chuckled.

Seriously, what the fuck?
HAHA girl…we are cut from the same cloth…I feel like I could have written this post!
Your rants amuse me
Outstanding post, Lex! The “you’re white” thing almost made me pee in my pants! LOL
I know a lass who works as a bartender. She’s perhaps early 20s, and not unfortunate looking. She would complain about getting hit on at the bar all the time, and people giving her big tips for “no reason”.
It is very unattractive.
Ha ha, This is hilarious! I especially love that @anu_cutiee was agreeing with some gibberish that somebody *else* said…
I’ve only recently started using Twitter, and decided to look at today’s top trend: #TrueFactsAboutMe. I’m staggered. I genuinely don’t know what to say. I have new respect for your stamina; getting through this stuff without barfing must be tough.
Believe me, It’s tough and a little depressing. A lot depressing, really, but also hilarious at times. On the bright side, I can take solace in the fact that I’m not *quite* as stupid as the majority.
I hate to be the one to tell you this… but… you’re white.
That made me laugh hard!
I am not a twitter fan, yet. Thinking of signing up, maybe. However, after reading this…thinking otherwise unless I just want pure amusement. I too laughed hysterically at the “you’re white” comment. Good stuff!
Let me just say I love all your posts. But this one is certainly my favorite! Haha I couldn’t stop laughing at the concietedness and the audacity of some people… Haha so glad I don’t have a twitter.
u fuckin suck i was being ironic
Yes, one can absolutely tell… you are a class act.
