What's Your "Stay-tus"?

[I use the "stay-tus" pronunciation because I always think about the Idiots of Ants' Facebook in Real Life YouTube video. And they say, "stay-tus."]

Anyway, I just got on Facebook, and a "friend" of mine's status said, and I quote,

"I hate it when chicken-fil-a doesn't center my chicken patty on the bun.....WTF!!!"

and I just want to scream, "Really?? REALLY!!??! Are you THAT self-centered?? Is it really that big of a deal?? You're probably going to open it up anyway to take off the pickle, add mayo, or any one of a number of reasons. And you're FREAKING OUT about your chicken patty not being centered at 'chicken-fil-a??' People are human! They're going to make mistakes! It's not a life-changer! GET OVER YOURSELF!"

Honestly.

Y'know, I've been thinking. Everyone I'm "friends" with on Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, or WHATEVER can read my status anytime. What am I showing them? What is the picture of me they're getting from the 140-characters-or-less blurb I put out there? Do I seem self-centered? Am I a worrier? Am I a happy person? Do I care about other people? Am I a hard worker? What am I? Or, rather, what do people PERCEIVE me to be?

Just think about that before you write something that makes you sound like an IDIOT.
