Dumb Dumb Dumb

Facebook, it brings us together tears others apart but mistaken identity I thought we were far past that. The other day I received a message from someone I didn’t know but I decided to read it rater that deleting. Well turns out it was from this guy looking for someone with the same name as me. Of course he starts the message “hey is this you?” Obviously he didn’t have this person’s last name but he got the WRONG BLACK GUY ENTIRELY!!! I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but he was looking for someone he worked with in CALIFORNA!! I’m clearly a Jersey resident but I tried once more to give him the benefit of the doubt (I know so generous) so I looked up how many people have the same name as me. This is when I came to two startling answers: #1 I am by far the best dressed out of all of them and #2 I look NOTHING LIKE ANY OF THEM!!! I sadly came to the conclusion this guy probably saw the most presentable person in his search and said of course that’s got to be him. Now I know easy mistake but he’s 35+ yrs old you can’t be making mistakes like that especially if you’re Lead Technical Support Analyst for a large communication company. No wonder IT departments are so retarded, personally I always joked around saying the guys that work there must be monkeys sitting around fling poop at each other. But never did I image the lead manger would mistake the wrong black guy. Further more he was checking on if this guy was able to get the Facebook app to work on his phone. How dumb do you have to be not to be able to figure that out? Even more why are you working in the IT dept. and you had to ask your manager for help installing an app on you phone? Further more why couldn’t this problem be solved in a normal workday between the collective minds working there?So Christopher McLaughlin of Aliso Viejo, CA 92656 this ones for you: 

 1. Get more black friends- Hey I get it I’ve been to Ohio there are no black people, well except for Samolians. But you really don’t want to make mistakes like this or else people might start to think you think all black people look alike.

2. Watch BET for at least an hour- Once you get past all the bad music videos you actually learn a thing or two about what different black people look like.

3. Learn peoples last names- It’s the nicest thing you can do for someone other than learn there first name that way you wont be messaging the wrong people on Facebook.

4. Learn Facebook- If my grandmother can figure it out so can you (My grannies awesome)

5. Realize when your being annoying- Obviously your co-workers don’t want to be your Facebook friend let alone let you have their phone number.

6. Learn proper Facebook educate- No guy is ever allow to message another guy their not friends with. When talking to a potential friend in public ask if they have Facebook and tell them to “add” you. After that it’s ok to ask for their number to set up a possible “Man Date”.

7. Think about a career change- Seems to me IT isn’t your thing especially since you couldn’t figure out a cell phone and you used to work for Verizon.

8. Think before hitting send- Really do because this whole thing was just really really dumb.
