The oversharing of vacation photos

A few years ago I took an artful photo of a Subway sandwich and 20-ounce Diet Coke on my work desk and posted it.

 

My first ex and I got divorced before either of us got on Facebook. When I joined, I briefly re-friended her out of sheer curiosity.

She was 100 percent full of shit. She created a whole new life for herself by abandoning everyone who knew her and making all new friends. That way, she never had to deal with the awful human being she was when she was married to me.

I briefly found it very amusing, knowing what was lurking right under the surface. Then I stopped caring.

 

I tried that maneuver about a decade ago when I switched handles here. But it didn't take - people quickly realized what an awful human being new me was. Leopards, spots, etc.

 

Could have been worse. Could have been Whitman's feet.

 

At least you own it. (Quality trolling for compliments, by the way.)

She’s like the aliens from Independence Day: Pillage all the goodwill and decency from one group of friends, then move along to the next.

 

Ouch.

 

I just mean in general - you've seen people, I'm sure, that write banal things and think they are writing something profound. Like, you can see her straining on the page. Granted, a lot of her pals seem to really love it. There's a reason Hallmark is popular, too.

 

I was trying to make a funny, because, you know, my handle... Never mind, I'm sleepy.

 

My ex-wife is the kind of person that will post a selfie of her fingers forming a heart.
Children, middle age and religiosity has done some of that. She can be sugary sweet in a real way.
But it still makes me cringe.

Whatever people need to make the platforms fun, roll with it. They're not fun for me anymore.

 

And she has now posted the feet and shins dangling from the pool shot.

 

If you think there's something wrong with her posting why not ask her about it?
