And that’s the reason why I don’t like twitter.  Because it’s judgemental and it never goes away.  It’s like your junior high boyfriend when you’re all “You hang up the phone first” and he's all “No, you hang up” and you’re like “No, you hang up” and he probably thinks he’s being all romantic by not hanging up but you really want him to hang up because you have to pee and you don’t want him to hear you peeing.  And that’s basically what twitter is all about.  This is like a tutorial for people who are new to twitter.  You should send new twitterers here so they won't be all freaked out when twitter starts molesting them because if you're not expecting it it can be very confusing.  Like getting your first period.  Basically this is the "Are You There God?  It's me, Margaret" of the twitter world.

PS.  If people try to tell you that twitter doesn't occasionally talk to you they are lying to you.  Or perhaps they just aren't observant enough.  Or drunk enough.  I don't know.  I'm not here to judge those people.  I'm here to help you. You're welcome.

Comment of the day: Thanks for the mention, poodle-muffin. What are you doing? ~ Twitter

Hi-Larry-Us! I'm sending this to all the new Twits on OS...
I have resisted Twitter...now I think I know why.
Which is why you have over 22,000 followers on Twitter, including moi.
That is creepier than any halloween post!
I spent a month putting "nothing" as my answer on a daily basis. Now I am writing a story, 140 characters at a time.
I love this. Thanks for posting it. I don't Twitter but now I never ever will.
Facebook, Twitter, they both make me feel uneventful, the assholes.
Any post that ends with a murdered clown gets a rating for me.

Well done.
This post like twitter added no value to my day.
I Agree with you.Twitter is a naughty boy.Only fun blog.Those who have bumper time and no other sources of amusement, to them that blog is very entertaining business.
Thank you for saving me from "Twitter-dom"
Yah, I just can't bring myself to care what someone else is doing with every 5 minute segment of their day.
I read this over on your site, which I am now LOVING! You're on my blog roll so I don't miss out!
Like who hasn't been molested by a twit?
This is Brilliant! And fn awesome! Everyone should read this. It's perfect.
This is why sexting is so much better!!
Aunty has found Twitter to be quite the waste of time, quite unlike this clever post about Twitter. Thank you!
Thank you for bringing joy into my heart.

Who writes your xanax prescription? [another version of what are you doing?]
What are you doing? Did u just pee? Can I hear it again? lol
This was great. Now you know why I avoid twitter.

so funny and creative. I like your humor:)
heh heh i have this conversation with twitter all the time. cleva!
Hilarious! I signed up for Twitter when I was bored with FB (of course that was before I found OS) and could not, for the life of me, figure it out. Now I'm happy I didn't try harder!
I bow before the master. Superb!
