I just read a story online that I pray to God is fake news, but I think it isn't. It concerns a young woman who was on a United flight to Illinois a few days ago, seated next to a man "around 60 years old who said he was a comedian." After takeoff, she saw that he had written a text saying he was unhappy having to sit next to a "smelly fatty" on the plane. OMG -- she read his text? Really? If so, she's a lot worse than a smelly fatty, she's a prying, invasive bitch. In fact a simple smelly fatty would be an upgrade.
Anyway, it gets better, or actually worse. So the text makes her feel bad about herself, which makes her start crying "hot, salty tears." Then, suddenly another passenger gets up from his seat, taps the Insulting Texter on the shoulder, and says he wants to change seats with him because he also saw the text and doesn't want the poor woman to have to sit next to him for the whole flight. The men change seats, and Smelly Fatty's new seatmate tells her he is sorry she saw the text and wants her to not take it to heart. "He encouraged me not to let that guy get to me and that everything was going to be fine," she said in her post on social media, so we know she wasn't too ashamed since she shared the incident with the entire world.
Whoa! The second man was reading Insulting Texter's texts over his shoulder? What is going on? Is there no privacy anywhere? Are people reading other people's texts willy-nilly? So it's not only the government who is spying on us, it's also our fellow citizens? My advice to everyone is don't say anything to anyone unless you are home alone inside a locked closet. And to Smelly Fatty: Take a bath.
The cartoon captures the blog precisely! Made me laugh ... but i have to admit that I’ve always looked at the desktop of the guy next to me if his computer is open ... and I take for granted that he is looking at mine
