Only Read This If You Care

       Ok so I get that its all trendy and whatever to bash social networking sites like you're above all that shit or whatever- but I don't understand why people are always complaining about Facebook statuses and Twitter updates saying stuff they don't care about.  You know how people are always like "I don't care if you're waiting for the bus!" or "Why do I have to read that you're brushing your teeth??" etc.
      Ok, lets talk about regular daily life off-line for a second.  I can't remember the last time someone told me something in person and I actually gave a shit.  Ok that's an exaggeration and I'm not that much of a douchebag, but the point I'm making still stands.   Why would online be any different?  Like 50% of our waking hours are filled with people saying stuff to you that you don't really care about.  And its way worse than online, because when someone writes a facebook status that you don't care about you can always stop reading it once you realize its not interesting.  In the regular world, you can't stop the person from talking.  And not only that, but you often have to pretend you care when you don't- which can be exhausting sometimes.
    When you're behind a computer you don't have to do any of that, so how annoying can it really be?
