Sometimes people's Facebook status updates really piss me off.
There.
I said it.
Those people who post about missing their husband because he has to work late? At least he's coming home. You have no idea what missing someone really is.
Those people Facbook breaking up - she's now single, he's now single, she 'doesn't know why she's the only one fighting for them', blah blah blah. You suck for throwing away a spouse when I would give anything for mine.
Those people who feel the need to post about every insignificant event that happens to them during the day? I'm so glad you just took a pee. My husband died.
Oh and to the person who posted Craig's obit all over the place? Get bent. It's not that fun or exciting. And you don't even know him. Grrrr...
Yes, it's ridiculously bitchy.
Yes, their lives go on even if mine doesn't.
Yes, I may spend too much time on Facebook.
Ugh.
Time to head back to the widow boards where cyberspace isn't as full of the DGI (Don't Get It) masses.
Or maybe I just need some chocolate.
Yeah.
That one.
I think there's a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in the kitchen...
*shuffles to the fridge*
NOM NOM NOM
Nope.
Still bitchy.
Wow, I really kinda felt awkward there for a moment! I'm definitly in the DGI group.
ReplyDeleteThen I see that you knew what you were doing and it ended in humour with a faint crooked smile on my face.
Although I am sorry the Reeses didn't solve the no Craig problem. If only life were that simple.
Let it out, Emily. Let it all out.

ReplyDeleteI totally agree with this! It's so annoying when people post things like that. Your right they don't have any idea what missing someone truly is unless they are gone.

ReplyDeleteIt's twisted the kind of perspective that most people lack. People get bent out of shape because someone gave them attitude or they had to work 5 minutes late... You would give anything to have such "simple" issues....
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that you have to be exposed to this useless banter when all you want is your life back.
We're strangers, and I do not have a clue how you feel. But I feel for you, and my heart really goes out to you.
May God truly bless and watch over you.
Much love from another Canadian.
I absolutely love this. Youve voiced perfectly how I feel, and in a fun way, it actually made me chuckle.
ReplyDeleteThank you x
