This morning, I woke up to a good friend’s Facebook status indicating that she was a victim of a hit-and-run and her neck hurts.  One of her “friends” left a comment offering to have sex with her (comment was deleted in the screenshot below).

Key: Green = Me; Yellow = Friend; Red = Foe

In an attempt to stand up for my friend, I told that guy to think before he types because several little birds tell me that copulation is a physically-stressing activity, and those types of activities are the last thing an injured person would want (for risk of worsening the injury).  Anyways, he replied some racially-charged order for Chinese food:

• Kung pao delight
• Fried rice
• Egg drop soup
• No egg roll
• Fortune cookie that says “go **** yourself”

It took about five minutes of anger before my logic kicked in.  My logic says that he wants a fortune cookie with an insult directed towards him.  Ai-ya!  What did I say about thinking and typing?!  In any case, I used to think that the phrase “think before you type” applies to issuing commands to computers, but I would like to share this lesson: It applies to real life as well.

To my friend: I hope you feel better.  Let me know if there’s something I can do for you.  I got your back.
