Unsocial Network

When you go out, you go out to have a good time... don't you? Say you go to a club, it's busy, it's noisy, you're with a big group of friends - you chat, maybe sit at a table for a while, you dance, you go to the bar, you post a new status. There. That last one. Why would you want to post a status!? I'm starting to see it more and more often and even though it shouldn't affect me whatsoever, it does. There's different levels of annoyance with these statuses. There's the tagged locations of where they are - bad enough. There's the boasting of 'so and so is havin an AMAZING nite out wit the girlz'. Then there's the 'I'm so wasted!' lot. First of all, if you're having such an amazing night, why take the time to get out your phone and let the internet know? Why does it even cross your mind? It's because you're sat there doing exactly the opposite of what your status says. You're bored, you have nobody interesting enough to talk to and you're not yet drunk enough to dance. (You're probably pissing off the people you're sat with too.) Secondly, if you were 'so wasted' you wouldn't feel the need to let everyone else know, you'd just enjoy it. You'd probably be dancing with the nearest middle-aged man or doing shots of sambuca because it's "such a good idea", despite knowing it always makes you sick (it's a possibilty I'm speaking from experience here.) Posting a status or updating their Twitter is either an act of boredom and a sign of a shit night out, a sign that their friend has gone to the toilet and left them alone, or an assertion of their social life: an attempt to show everyone they're fun, exciting, that they're not home on a friday night, that they're not a loser. Take it from me. You are. Get off Facebook and enjoy your night instead of trying to convince everyone else you are, because guys, it really isn't working.
