Metaphorical Tugging of the Pigtails


When the subject of a casual conversation transitioned (to one of apparent regular occurrence), I quickly turned my attention with it to appear like I was interested. Little did I know just how involved I would be in this conversation. The opinions of the other person were not only random, but shocking, too, as they did not have any idea to whom we we were referring to. Having never met them, they already had opinions of this person and my relationship with them. "Every time they like or comment on your status, it's like pulling pigtails at recess."

Lady-I-don't-know-very-well-who-thinks-they-know-everything-because-they-stalk-my-Facebook-page say what?!

Hmm. So every male friend on Facebook that likes my status is in love with me? Good to know. And every female friend on Facebook is, like, my BFF? Wow. And here I thought I sucked at making friends.

The idea of Facebook being a playground where your pokes, comments, and likes are elementary forms of flirting is completely stupid. Forgive my opinions, but seriously? No, it's called having something in common, and acknowledging that similarity. If this were a face-to-face conversation, would it still be flirting? Okay, so maybe you would see it that way, but I assure you, it is not.

While the metaphor is rather hilarious, I have to disagree. :)
