People’s lack of reading
comprehension is riding my last nerve like a drunk girl at frat party. The
thing that pushed me to the edge was a post on Facebook that said “The first
man to survive going over Niagara Falls later died by slipping on an orange
peel.” Now that’s actually a true story, one of the many useless facts I know
from growing up in the falls.
The thing that grated
on my nerves was the amount of people that replied to that post with “the first
person to go over the falls was a woman.” Also true, her name was Annie Edson
Taylor, a 63 year old teacher. The legend being she went over the falls with
her cat. A cat that entered the barrel black but existed the barrel white due
to the fright (More useless falls facts for you)

Then I read a comment today and my last nerve broke. I
understand my style of writing isn’t always straight forward; I use humour,
satire...hell sometimes I just frankly lose my mind in writing form. But this
person completely missed the point of the post, instead of taking in the post
as a whole he (I’m guessing) picked random lines and then told me, I have no place
on the Internet.
Instead of my post being about “relationship equality”
being a stupid term because of the different definitions by the sexes which cause
huge problems that are unneeded since relationships tend to balance out
anyways. It became about women getting free meals.
On the bright side I think at this point I can safely
add “extensive experience dealing with stupid people” to my resume, in this day
and age that has to be a desirable skill.
