My husband likes to be on the cutting edge of technology, especially when it comes to social media. He was on twitter before most people had even heard of it. And boy, was that annoying. I would get constant updates of how many followers he had and every time he reached a milestone, I’d have to hear about it. (“I just reached 100 followers!”; “I’m only 27 away from 500!”)
Anyway, this twitter thing actually got kind of big (and, of course, my husband felt a bit smug); he stopped telling me how many followers he had all the time and life returned to normal. But then he discovered foursquare. Are you familiar with foursquare? It’s basically somebody telling their twitter followers or facebook friends where they are. All. The. Time.
Could this be any more annoying? Yes, I follow my husband on twitter and there have been many times I’ve considered unfollowing him because I simply don’t care where he is every second of the day.
The other night, we were out at dinner celebrating our anniversary. When he pulled out his phone at the table, I instantly knew what he was doing. Yup, he was “checking in”. Romantic, huh?
This whole thing has gotten out of control!
So you see, my husband clearly has a problem. Some women often wonder what their husbands are up to; I wonder if there’s any way I can not know what my husband is up to. Yes, it may be time to unfollow him.
(If you’re a glutton for punishment and you’d like to know where my husband is at any given moment, feel free to follow him on twitter: @standupkid. But don’t say I didn’t warn you…)
