What motivates people to get up in the morning and write in 140 characters or less exactly what they are doing every second of the day alludes me. I mean there’s nothing more enlightening to me than reading yet again about your purchase of a coke zero while at the gas station. Not to mention those well thought out hash tags to go along with your already informative declaration. #coke #zero #gasstation. I get it we know youre at the gas station, and guess what, I don’t care! I mean if you are going to get a Twitter, at least tweet something worthwhile to the public like the results of a sports game, or if you're getting married, that at least is something worth my time. Honestly nobody, and I mean nobody is interested in hearing about the peanut butter and nutella sandwich you just ate.

Also, for those lucky boys that are famous, they not only have to deal with persistent paparazzi, but those crazed fan girls who love them “5ever” and constantly tweet at them hoping to be noticed amongst the 5 million other followers. Come on, what are the chances that you’ll really love him “5ever”? Pretty slim. These girls get downright creepy by photoshopping themselves into pictures with their #onetruelove. And that’s not even the worst of it. When there was a rumor going around that Justin Bieber had used marijuana, the number one trending hashtag was #cutforbieber, to encourage him to stop. Ladies, if you think by doing serious damage to your bodies you are helping the Biebs quit smoking, you have serious issues.

And another thing, that I absolutely cannot stand is when people make their personal lives open to the public. People we have been gifted with cell phones, use them to call or text your friends in private instead of filling up our dashboards with every detail of the fight you and your new bff of the week are having. Going off of that, what is the point of subtweeting?! Everyone knows who you are talking about so why don’t you just go ahead and tag the person you are hating on in the tweet! If you can’t say something directly to a person, then please don’t tweet about it, and for the love of god, do not subtweet. I find it interesting how brave people become behind the shield of their computer screen when in real life, they would never say half of the things they tweet.

I had a Twitter for exactly one day; one day of my live that I will never get back. I am kept in the Twitter loop though thanks to my sister who calls me into her room multiple time a day to show me pointless tweet after tweet. For example, one of her tweets in the past week was emojis of three turtles and then a couple of spaces later another turtle, followed a slower turtle with the caption “Hey guys wait up” and of course a hash tag that read #turtles. Obviously there are turtles, and it is obvious that that post had no relevance to anything going on in her life, and was not going to benefit anyone in any way. Ever. Twitter causes unnecessary drama and headaches all around. I wish people would grow up and speak to people directly or text their friends pointless things instead of publicly embarrassing themselves, and waisting my time. I hate Twitter.
