[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 682053, member: 19905"] Gorgeous day today. One of those unexpectedly warm, sunny, breezy, "oh I can feel summer coming" days. We have had a few and this is the kind of weather that makes me feel my best, uplifts my spirits. And I have been feeling so much more like "me" the last few days...until... (Insert Tangent) I can never understand why people are so, so ignorant of others' situations. I have a co-worker I don't know well but who knows my daughter (also, not well), and has friended my daughter on social media. If you have kept up with me, she never plays well with others but she can be at her worst behind the faux bravery of a keyboard. And this co-worker is apparently talking about it with others, as I had someone "mention" in casual conversation something daughter had posted. I am not on her social media. Most family are not either bc of how inflaming she can be. This co-worker is the only one I know of at work on it. Not hard to figure out where the information came from. Why, why, why do some people use other's peoples' tragedies as their personal entertainment, fodder for their gossip? Why, why, why would this person even BE on her media other than for what is personally gained from reading the vitriol and drama my child puts on the the web? I cannot stand my own daughter's social media drama, much less others and immediately disconnect from people who behave in such a manner online. Why, why, why would anyone want to invest in that kind of sadness, chaos, spitefulness...when they aren't even personally invested in the person posting it? (Rant over - return to regularly scheduled program) ...an idiot happened. Rug pulled vicariously through someone else. <sigh> Thank you for your patience with my short temper tantrum.
