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?????
