Over time, people adopt new rules regarding what is “socially acceptable.” Some practices are discarded, while new ones are created.
So what are some of the new and “cutting edge” social blunders? I’ll take a stab at a few (some serious, some not):
- Insulting someone’s blog or Twitter stream. (It’s essentially the same as saying “your thoughts/life suck.”)
- Texting at the dinner table.
- Breaking up with a significant other via text.
- Canceling a date via text.
- Tweeting “I’m talking to John Doe”, while you’re actually talking to John Doe. (Yes, this happened to a friend of mine.)
- Tweeting that your date sucks while on your date. (This is pretty hilarious, particularly if your date is following you on Twitter and has text updates enabled on their phone. It has happened.)
- Writing an inappropriate comment on Facebook that then comes up in your Mom/Aunt/Grandma’s Facebook feed or is viewable by them on Facebook.
- Updating your relationship status on Facebook during your wedding.
- Making a Facebook page for your school for the sake of bashing your school. (Apparently this is a problem, seems fine to me.)
- Making a fake Facebook profile for a friend (or Twitter account), friending people (getting followers) in their name, then using it to make them look gay/racist/sexist, etc. (Ahem, Bryan…..)
Got some others that are either true blunders or are just funny? Post them in the comments section. (Note: if you can’t see the comments, you need to click on the title of the article to see the comments section.)
