Little-League Pissing Contests

If there’s one thing that Facebook actually good at doing, it’s turning people into little-league pissing contestants. “Look at what I’m eating, look at what I’m drinking, look at what music I’m listening to, look at what YouTube video I’m watching!” I always thought it was a joke that people might actually continue that behavior outside of Facebook, but I have actually been proven completely wrong about that this week. They walk among us!

Why the fuck do people think that anybody else honestly gives two rat’s asses about any of this shit? This is just one of the reasons that I left Facebook, and I’ll be damned if some people haven’t decided that they still need to share this garbage with me via text message now. Don’t try to convince me how grand and exciting your mediocre life is, convince yourself of it, I already know better!

Before I left Facebook, I got roped into this perpetual group conversation with two school friends and that got so annoying that I had to leave the group. I leave Facebook, and I’ll be damned if one of them didn’t start up the same thing via text message. Same shit, look at what beer or booze I’m drinking today, look at what music I’m listening to today, look at what website I just found. In other words “look at me, look at me, look at me”.

I couldn’t understand the endless beer picture thing, so I did it couple times and I’ll be damned, the last time I did it, one of them said “I’ve already seen that one”. Well shit, I didn’t realize that this was a fucking contest to one-up everybody else (aka: little-league pissing contest). I really should have known better, this stupid routine started on Facebook and has just moved to text messages now. Spare me the juvenile waste of time!

And in true Facebook fashion, I reply to a question from the other person in that group and the beer photo sharing fanatic (who started this group conversation) cops an attitude because he wasn’t interested in what I had to say. Just like two people joking in the comment section of another person’s Facebook post, the author of the post gets upset because they’re no longer the center of attention and don’t want to have to read what you’re saying to somebody else besides them.

Let me fix that problem and remove myself from yet another one of these retarded electronic group conversations…

Facebook is a mental disorder and the people who still use that website are no different than an addict or junkie. They can’t live without it and it appears that they carry the same mental and social disorders with them outside of Facebook as well. Their lives and their personal standards are always just oh so much greater than yours, at least according to the bullshit they repeatedly try to feed you. People wonder why I left Facebook and don’t even consider the possibility that their own bullshit is one of the main reasons why I left.

I simply don’t have time for these mental disorder induced little-league pissing contests in my own happily mediocre life.
