I know I'm a 'ranting old middle aged spinster' but seriously, all this ranting and public shaming on social media is really getting to me.
Today two posts popped up on my FB page. One was a full on photo of a guy who had asked to take his dog into a shop (and been refused because he wouldn't carry it) and the other was of someone who had witnessed a waitress licking her fingers and then serving customers.
Firstly...………... can I just say; I agree that dogs should not be allowed in 'food shops' and nor should staff in restaurants be 'licking their fingers'. ...............But seriously...……………… Why does this need to be posted all over social media?? Both of these posts had umpteen comments within an hour.
Shit happens...………………… get over it.
Social media isn't always a good thing...……………...
I'm pretty sure that both of these businesses are going to be destroyed by the negative comments that they have received. Why do people, (and quite often people who have actually no knowledge of how that particular business is run), jump on the bandwagon and start making very derogatory comments.
People write reviews in the heat of the moment. Take a step back peeps. Think about it. Do you really want to destroy someone's liviehood? Instead of posting a review on the internet, why don't you actually go and talk to someone????
……………..You have a problem? ……………….You don't like the fact that a dog isn't allowed in a shop? Go speak to the owner and find out why? You see a waitress licking her fingers? Go and ask her if she's been 'Food Hygiene' trained.
Don't just hide behind a load of really negative comments on a FB page.
COMMUNICATE.
I feel really strongly that no one talks to each other these days. No one communicates. Everyone is too quick to leave a comment on social media.
Think about it peeps.
If you can't say it to their face then don't say it at all!!!

Another 'social media' post!
What is it about people that make them want to post every single little irritating thing on social media? A post has just popped up on one of my social media pages showing a 'white van'. Full number plate and everything. Apparently it cut someone off going around a roundabout??? Happens all the time I would say. Shit happens. Get over it. Have the people who post this sort of stuff on social media really got nothing else to do than photo a white van and post it on social media?
Actually...…….. have I got nothing else to do than start ranting about things that I've seen on social media???
We're all a bit sad! Post first, reflect later. We all need to start living in the real world again.
OK...………….. so a white van cut someone off going round a roundabout. Stuff like that happens all the time. It's not very polite, it's not the sort of driver one would wish to meet on the roads and to be perfectly honest, it's an example of very bad driving. BUT...………………… maybe the driver didn't know where they were going, maybe they made a 'bad decision' at the last minute, maybe they didn't actually realise what a commotion they'd caused????
As I say; stuff happens.
But it seems nowadays that every time that someone makes a mistake, someone else either photos it or videos it and then it's plastered all over social media. It's out there for the rest of the world to see. And it's all very well saying that these negative posts can be deleted. Of course they can. But if they're not deleted within the first few seconds of being posted, then they're out there forever for the rest of the world to see.
The 'white van' post that I saw on social media this evening had been posted 7 mins before I read it and it had already racked up more than 60 comments. Probably by now the police have been contacted and the white van driver has been traced and he's probably being charged right now. And whilst I agree that his driving wasn't exactly the best, the photo of 'Mr White Van Man' had obviously been taken from the drivers side of the car following him.
…………….So lets just hope that the said driver has also been charged for taking photos while driving?????
