In those fleeting seconds where I have little or nothing to do, I play games on Pogo.com. Perhaps you do too. For those who don't... every game in Pogo has a mini-chatroom where players can, well, chat. Today as I was playing Bingo, my eyes strayed to the chat box. Lo and behold, there's some poor sap pleading with his (undoubtedly) cyber-girlfriend about how miserable his life is without her and how his wife(!!!) pays him no attention, he's worthles, blah blah blah... Now, I'm not saying that I'm unsympathetic to this poor fellow. Lord knows, after my divorce I don't wish marital/relationship strife on anyone. But Christ-on-a-stump, WHY would someone ever spew that kind of stuff out on a public chat room? There's a private chat tab 2cm away on the screen. Why oh why do people need to subject EVERYONE in the place to their personal misery. I don't wanna see the guy grovel.... I hate to see someone discard their dignity like that. Plus, it just plain spoils things for everyone in eyeshot. I had to close the game down and walk off. It was plain disgusting.
I promise I will never strew my private life out in public. For one thing, it's just that... private. But also , I'd never be so inconsiderate as to burden others with my junk. Just..... URRRGH!
Whew... just had to get that out. Have A Nice Day®. :)
