So today, as per my schedule in yesterday's post, I get a free topic.
I'm going to talk about something that really irritates me. File under Facebook issues.
Why do people "friend" me and then ignore me when they see me out in public? Don't get me wrong - I'm not so insecure as to worry about this. And I'm not so naive to think that people who are FB "friends" are true friends. Sometimes they are acquaintances. And that's okay. Not everyone on my friends list is someone I'm going to call at 3 in the morning with a prayer request.
But when someone friends me, and then ignores me, it irritates me. You're using me to up your friend count, not because you give a crap about me.
And the worst?
People at my church do this! That's the last place you should be fake. In fact, you're the last group of people who should be fake. Yes, I'm calling those of you who do this fake. Get over it. Better yet - don't be fake!
Now if you're busy and can't stop to talk, I get it. But if I see you and say "Hello." or "Good morning." to you at church and you're a FB friend, at least respond. Don't just ignore me.
It reminds me of that old hymn - "They'll Know We're Christians by Our Love". Yeah, right.
From now on, if you friend me on FB, at least speak to me in public, or you're gone.
There, I feel better.
