Random FB drama
Okay, this story might only be interesting to me, but it is kinda of odd. I am 35 and graduated from high school in 1993 and I'm pretty sure that the people below have not seen each other in 15+ years!
One of my high school classmates, S, lives in Denver and is a Broncos fan and a Giants fan (since I grew up in upstate NY and most of my HS classmates are also Giants fans). In the past, he has made it *very* clear what his opinions are on Vick and Rothlisberger (not good) and his equal hate for Brady and various decisions the Broncos make. He has had random status updates that say if you are going to root for X team or X player, then you should just let him know, so he can defriend you. I always thought he was joking.
So yesterday, S's status update is something along the lines of "Go Giants. I hope they can break Vick's leg in the process of winning." Another classmate, M, who is an Eagles fan, responds with something lighthearted like "No way, my Eagles are going to be too strong for the Giants to handle." Innocent, trash talking. S HATES Vick, which is obvious from his statuses. M is a diehard, life long Eagles fan (who never mentioned Vick once in the back and forth - and I'm pretty sure had never mentioned him in any of his status updates - he was just joking about his team winning). So S responds with something along the lines of how he is going to kick M's ass next time he's "home" and he knows where he lives, etc. M finally realized after a little banter that S was serious when S made a comment that M was always a tool in high school, etc. So, M asks him "Seriously, what is your problem?" So I see all this and am intrigued. Later in the evening, M's What's your problem comment is deleted.
So, today I look to see if anything had progressed in this bizarre back and forth and S's FB is totally gone - I had been defriended and it looks like he is completely off FB (unless he randomly blocked me, which would be strange).
I realize this story may only be interesting to me, but it's just totally strange.
Re: Random FB drama
That is bizarre!
I live in WI so of course have grown up a die hard Packer fan, but I come across a lot of Bears fans being close to the WI/IL border. Of course there's all the Vikings/Farve drama too. The banter is always friendly. I don't understand people who take things so seriously, it's a game.
I find it funny too how people have such hatred for certain players when they are on opposing teams, but given all the trading and free agent stuff it's completely possible they might play for your team one day.
My DH was involved in FB drama recently, also with a former hs classmate. The classmate would constantly write controversial status updates and one day my DH decided he couldn't take it anymore and decided to de-friend him. Before he did though he wrote a response to his latest update, completely well thought out. When the classmate discovered he had been de-friended he wrote DH a message that said "Go f*** yourself!" LOL. Then the classmate updated his status to say "Oh no I've been de-friended!". Complete jacka$$.
