“Shit Happens” from a Social Media Perspective

In the style of the Shit Happens list:

Foursquare:

  • I am mayor of this toilet.

Twitter:

  • That Mexican food hit me wrong. (Someone who is keen on maintaining their “personal brand”)
  • I need to shit. (Everyone else)

Facebook:

  • The inside joke type:  “The Nope strikes again.” [where your inside crowd nickname for a Mexican place goes in the bold italics.]
    • 3 people “Like” this shit.
  • The vague, but obvious reference:  “Glade Floral Scent rocks.”
  • No apologies: “I Shit”

Tumblr:

  • Whoa…  somebody didn’t flush their shit.  Hey, everybody, check this shit out!

StumbleUpon:

  • Post your toilet and have random people shit in it.

Digg:

  • You:  This shit is awesome.  Others:  I’m going to bury your shit.

LinkedIn:

  • Excellent at making sure I flush my shit.

Quora:

  • Why is there corn in my shit?

You might be a Foursquare addict if…

  • you patronize new places that you have no interest in just because you get more points.
  • you volunteer to go to the mall with your significant other because of the travel bonus for each of the 20 shops you’ll hit.
  • and you’re really hoping for that overshare badge this time.
  • you pull into parking spaces when driving through a park just so you can justify checking in.
  • you’ve checked into places without coming to a full stop in your car.
  • you add places like an immediate care center, a gas station, and a bank. (@safetyguy1656)
  • you volunteer to do a lunch run and encourage people *not* to pick the same location, just so you can get multiple check-ins.
  • you’re the mayor of several grocery stores.
  • …including all the nearby Wal-Marts.
  • …and you really don’t care that no one else ever checks in there.
  • you’re the mayor of a biker bar, despite the fact that you’ve never been able to assert yourself enough to get a drink at the bar.
  • Your Facebook friends who incessantly post Farmville updates have been unfriending you because of incessant location updates.
  • You’ve been denied points for legitimate check-ins because you checked in too frequently.
