Remember my “Five Things That Make You a Douche-tastic Douche” post? I apparently hurt someone’s brittle feelings when I wrote:
“That’s right: if you use Twitter, you are a giant douche-tastic douche. You honestly believe people find your life so interesting that it warrants posting 140-characters worth of status updates every 10 minutes.”
…because a day after I posted, a girl took to her Twitter site to write the following:
What I meant was: annoyed @ non-Twitter users who thinks all on Twitter tweet mindless status updates every 10 mins about what they r doing
2:05 PM Apr 30th from web
Perfect example: http://absolutangel64.xanga... (see #2 on the list) way to be judgmental!
2:08 PM Apr 30th from web
(Sorry, but no link included. You can, however, easily find this girl’s page using Google.)
It wasn’t until someone showed me this girl’s site that made me realize the truth behind her “tweets”: maybe I was being too judgmental. When I wrote that post, my intent was to list five signs of douche bagism—and in my haste, I was completely ignorant of the possibility that I had power over someone else’s emotions; that I was an unwitting puppet master of a female Pinnochio who had been shunned by the Blue Fairy and thus, still had strings to hold her down, to make her fret, and make her frown.
I owe this girl an apology, as well as a “thank you” for showing me the error of my ways. After reading her Twitter page, I learned that not all Twitter users post 140-characters worth of status updates every 10 minutes:
Instead, Twitter users post “mindless status updates” throughout the day—just not necessarily every 10 minutes.

i am going to tweet this.
At first, I thought this was a sincere apology – until I saw the screen captures. I have never been more convinced that twitter is god-awful and probably a tool of the devil.
u heartless twit! =)lost ftw!
I never understood the point of twitter. why would people find entertainment in reading someone’s random thoughts every five minutes? I can understand the frequent updates of some event like E3 or a presidential debate, but John or Jane Doe walking down the street? No, I don’t really care how bad the lady on the bus smells.
Ahaha, gosh some people these days. I can’t believe she took it to heart. GROW SOME BALLS!!! I love how she ‘tweets’ totally senseless crap. Twitter needs to die
I think you need to update the douchebaggery level of twitter users – How about “ridiculously mindless, extremely gigantic douche-tastic douche.”
yah yah yah, more agreeing with you and your post. good job, though. you should have linked this twitter. she’d probably love the followers.
So some stupid little bitch got all butt hurt over the truth??? Seriously, I agree with you. No one gives a rat’s ass about what people are doing every 30 seconds of their entire piece of shit day. I mean come on? Do I really need to know that “am totally getting dunkin donuts today.” and then 30 minutes later “dunkin donuts is goood. large coffee ftw””People need to just kill themselves. Really.
Twitter just seems like a bunch of pulses.
Some day, and I hope that day comes, you’ll be a Don of a powerful family. Then, you get the pull the strings. But, until that day, this will have to do.
haha, and I opened a twitter today. But I cannot conceive the notion of myself tweeting more than once a day. Thats absurd. And I might tweet this. hee hee
Sthao?
you are the queen, i bow down to thee ❤
They should pulse instead.
haha, youre too fuckin funny angel 😉

people need to get off twitter and start using xanga more LOL
Bwahahaha Awe. Teet tweet tweet!
Nice! Hahaha! The reason why they call it twitter is because it’s for twits.
LMAO…your apology was sincere. I mean it was CLEARLY your fault for having assumed she twitters every TEN minutes. I hope her heart mends itself.
internet blogs are serious stuff
Hey, you’re the law student… Can I sue her for assailing my poor brain with that nonsense?
