Keeping on with the topic of technology...I was on facebook this morning and commented, with what I thought was a very dry sarcastic remark that everyone would laugh at, to a friends post. A few moments later that little "1" pops up to notify me that my friend has commented on my comment and I'm giggly like those babies on youtube that are completely amused by their parents ripping pieces of paper (what?!!? You don't believe me? I'll post the link at the end!). As any curious addict would, I click on the notification which directs me to the intial post. I'm very anxious to see what kind of smart @$$ rebuttal to my overly witty comment my friend has, that obviously won't add up ,, and BAM! No comments. Just the lonely original post sitting there in the abyss, pretending like the past 3 minutes of attention it just had, hadn't actually happened.
Reality then overtakes the panic & shock and I realize....she committed the ultimate sin, she DELETED my comment! How could she do that...? It was so funny! Wasn't it? ::enter self doubt:: I couldn't believe it! I found myself a little irritated & I mulled on this for awhile....
As I clicked and clicked to try and recover what had been lost forever, this horrific awakening got me to thinking...Wouldn't it be nice to have Real Life DELETE buttons. Yes! That is genius. ::does cabbage patch dance:: Still not convinced? Perhaps I should give you a few examples, which are a bit more extreme than deleting a FB comment (which I'm still aggravated about):
Example #1: You are holding the door for someone at Starbucks (at 7a.m. & just as tired and in need of caffeine) and they just walk right in and don't say thank you. Instead of getting angry and spending the next 5 minutes of your life being trapped next to them in line or polluted with wondering why people are so rude in the world, you just pull out your Iphone or Droid, pull up the Real Life DELETE App, point it at the douchebag and wham, bam, thank you ma'am...he or she is gone! Vanished. Finito! Imagine....suddenly you are filled with assurance that nobody will ever have to feel unappreciated ever again.
Example #2: You are having some intellectual debate with close friends at a restaraunt outside, discussing equality, civil rights, religion, the seperation of church and state, gay marriage or the definition of someone that is transgendered...when some redneck with one tooth and three strands of hair says..."Hey Ya'll...I couldnt help but to over hear your little talk over yonder and I gotta say...wooo two womens together just turns me on like donkey kong! and....aint transgender-ism a mental disorder or sometin'?". Sure, he means well...but....DELETE. (no explanation necessary I hope)
Example #3: You are walking down the street, minding your own business, on your way to lunch wearing your M-F corporate america wardrobe which you already hate, when some group of guys in a truck yell "Hey MA! Nice ass...or wooo hooooo, look at you, or licks their disgusting lips that are the last possible wall of decency before the stupidity comes gushing out. For this I suggest the Real Life Tommy Gun DELETE App *Complete with fancy sound effects*...for which you get all those douchebags in a single round. DE...DE...DE....DE....DE...DE...DELETE!
You're convinced now huh?!!? Kinda gives you a warm, happy feeling inside doesn't it.
Oh, before I forget. The amused paper ripping baby! Go ahead, research it...there are tons of these.
