My Sister was Dumped on Facebook

Yeah.  That’s pretty darn lame.

I’m not too upset about it though.  My sister’s one tough cookie.  And the guy wasn’t marriage-material (obviously).  What’s shocking (and not so shocking) is that it was done via a Social Network tool.

I remember, many moons ago, how the most dastardly (I like this word: treacherously cowardly) and upsetting thing was to dump someone in a phone conversation.  It was the talk of the school if someone didn’t man-up and do it in person.  In fact, now that I think of it, I once did the massive dumpage via a letter back in middle school over a summer break.  An angry typhoon-like mob of adolescent girls screaming at the top of their lungs about how I had forever destroyed the heart of their BFF (how’d she have more than one BFF…?!) happily greeted me when I stepped back on campus that fall semester.

Oh well.

So I can understand the dude that dumped my sister on Facebook.  The tactics, methods, words, etc haven’t changed… just the medium.

I still thinks he’s pretty lame and is treacherously cowardly for doing it and having it posted on everyone’s Mini-Feed for the entire world to see, but I can’t necessarily fault him for using the most current technology.

…

But if I saw him I’d probably still sock him in the face just because it was my sister.
