When The ‘New Post’ button Is Pushed, Mr. Social Media Is No Longer Your Friend.

Most recent example:

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (Jan. 4, 2015) – A woman suffered a heart attack during a New Year’s Eve celebration at a downtown Indianapolis bar, but a customer’s complaint about the response fueled a social media firestorm.

Via Memeorandum. I actually feel mildly bad about the customer who complained. She comes across as an unmitigated jackass, of course, but I feel slightly bad anyway.  Mostly because it’s close enough to Christmas that I still get to be uncomfortably aware that Jesus probably wouldn’t want me to join a digital torch-bearing mob.

Anyway, moral of the story: if you can’t control what you say on social media, don’t communicate via social media. This gig ain’t for the reckless. …Or the timid, either.

  1. I’ve always referred to them as someone with an overriding sense of entitlement. I try to avoid them due to drama from passive aggressive actions.
