When I worked at a communications company we were often asked by management what we, the front line workers found wrong with the company. My response was always the same, lack of communication.
It appears communication is problematic everywhere and there is no finer example than Facebook. The following are some of the precious nuggets I have found perusing this particular corner of social media. what?
In trying to sound intelligent, this guy forgot he was using the written word and not in a verbal conversation. He could have just put ‘smart people’ in quotes or Italics rather than spell out, ‘quote unquote smart people’. I love the irony.
“…you know man I never really believed in them much either. Whenever things in my life start paralleling these theories me having an analytical mind causes me to do some homework. It’s funny how all you quote unquote smart people just write everything off and won’t even look at the evidence because there’s plenty of evidence.”
I’m not sure if the poster below was trying to be funny, tripped over his own words, regardless I found it funny,
“Good morning. Roads are covered with low visibility.”
Another case of irony? He is trying to argue why school is not important for everyone, yet his communication skills prove the opposite.
“It’s because schools teach need to go to more school and let’s face it some are not ment to go to school extra and will never use them 100k in det I’m happy I knew I’d be working on cars and did not go to school”
This next post was actually about student loans.
“One in 4 americans,think about that then think about all the people you actauly know,how many actauly have school lian debt,there’s Norway its actauly one out of 4 americans”
This was a post discussing rv waste systems.
“We go to full hook up rv parks every 3 time out and fill it full and dump a few tims”
The following nugget was taken from a discussion about all those pesky car warranty calls.
“they were making some quality arrests in talking 15 16 at a time and well they found over 20 children in sex trafficking rings, twice and now nothing haven t heard of enything.”
The following two posts were taken from a discussion discussing bar’s being re-opened once life started normalizing after Covid lock downs.
If I had to bet I am sure the individuals who posted the comments were drunk.
“they should close all the bars in st college, you want to learn, or just be drunk, most just be drunk, no offense to the bar, it’s a honest business but these students are getting out of control these days, take their devils wine, and the devi,l go else whet4 but saying that good luck to you!”
“But I’m putting a monkey backpack on u Bc u hot n everyone’s gonna want u but u cumming home to me”
There is a cone shaped tool which fits on your drill, it is used to split firewood. There was an ad for one on Facebook and I found this gem in the responses.
“I had one for years jacked truck up took tire off bolted on it bust any could stick to it took man hold it for sure”
I’m the first to admit I am not good with punctuation. But I think a period now and again never hurts.
“Illegal where I live can not park it in the road my neighbor across the street tried it with his hunk of junk RV then they started living in it in the street we had a few words and he refused to move it so I took the next step and then he was forced to move it he was pissed but law clearly said he could not do it”
Again, a little punctuation would be nice. I am also a little confused, he doesn’t want to buy an Open Range Rv because of all the negative comments about them, (we love ours) yet he is in the market for one?
“Does everyone hate they’re open range i seen a lot about soft floors leaky plumbing and roofs makes me not want to buy one i am looking for one with a bathroom in the front anyone selling one”
Say What?
Interesting. I just wrote a fairly lengthy comment using Siri dictation as an example of how poor modern technology is in many ways. (In this case I was demonstrating how many grammatical mistakes Siri dictation makes as you try to write using your voice.) That comment has not shown up! So either it is awaiting your approval, or it has been lost in cyberspace. I’m too lazy to write it again. Suffice it to say that Siri dictation is almost not worth using because it creates so many grammatical errors, and as a result of observing that I do not believe that the world is yet ready for self driving cars!
All the best to you Brian.

Looks like my first post is lost in cyberspace. That is unfortunate because it was almost as comical to read as your post was (not really, it was just a grammatical nightmare).

The first time I posted the email went out but when I checked this page I got an error saying the page did not exist. I linked to Facebook but when I hit the link I got the same error message. I waited about twenty minutes as I’m on the road and WiFi sucks. Still nothing showed up so I re posted. I’m betting your original comment is lost with my original attempt to publish. Hope all is well with you. And as always, thanks for the comments.
I tried to like your post the first time around and got a message telling me that it did not exist! I was looking at it on the screen! lol
There were issues with the first post. Not sure why but it all looks to be okay now. Thanks for reading and commenting.
