I have a good friend that is pregnant, so naturally, practically everyone expected that they would get engaged for Christmas. Her boyfriend goes on her facebook a lot and even updates her status. It's usually pretty funny...but on Christmas day, he set her status to say, "Carly got a big, shiny one....!". So naturally, eleventy billion people posted congrats messages. I already knew he was getting her a big roasting pan she wanted, but didn't say anything on FB. So, he comments on her status at the end of the day saying, "who knew big, shiny red roasters were so exciting...not engaged, just a roaster". Eleventy billion congrats messages follow.
The next day, he changes the status to, "Carly is auctioning off the big red roaster, who knew they'd be such a hot item". Following that comment were 11 billion congrats messages again.
Carly finally clues in and updates her status, "I think I should make D his own facebook page". Following THAT comment is 11 million MORE comments!
1. CLUE IN PEOPLE. Seriously, read, and don't assume things.
2. D - that wasn't funny, people were genuine and sweet in their messages, including distant relatives who were very, very excited to hear the wedding news.
3. I don't really think it's funny that he did that. It is kinda comical, but really isn't.
