So Im at work and I get an E mail. It's a Facebook friend request. It's from one of our coordinators that is a friend of mine in real life. Sounds mundane right? Well I immediately jump on the phone and explain to him I don't do the Facebook thing.
This should be the end of it.
You know that nosey ass co-worker that always is listening in on a phone conversation that you go out of your way to keep private? Yea, well that asshole comes lumbering up "You don't have a Facebook page?" I reply "No". Thinking that is the end of it I begin to turn and walk off. The asshole blurts out "Well you should. I mean everyone's on it and It's a way to reconnect with friends you lost touch with." I stopped and thought about what he said. Considering that I had went completely out of my way to conceal my phone call I was slightly aggravated at the comment. I just explained on the phone to a friend why I didn't do the Facebook thing and now this asshandle who was obviously eavesdropping wants answers that I just provided on the phone. So I decided to play along. "I Just don't do it. I have a website already and frankly I think it is pointless." The asshole probed deeper. "Well what about connecting with people you have lost touch with? How would they get ahold of you? You really should get a Facebook page." OK, by this time I am really struggling to keep from snapping at him. I can only be so polite and this guy was knee deep in my business for no reason.
"Look, You were obviously listening in on my conversation. I have already explained how I feel about Facebook I am not going to go over it again. I DON'T DO FACEBOOK!" The douche gets butt hurt (like he does often) and gets all angry. "God, man I was only saying."
I cut him off "No you weren't saying you were listening in on my phone conversation then proceeded to ask me questions that I have already answered. If I stood next to you and loudly talked on the phone that would be different but you hung around in the back room just to listen in. Mind your own business."
And I walked away. I hate people in Washington
