rant of the week: FOURSQUARE

I hate foursquare. 

no, i have never actually used it myself, but i really, really hate it and it is negatively affecting my life. 

i can't even innocently log on to facebook these days without foursquare popping up in my face to tell me that  "______  just checked in at [insert name of random bar] on [insert name of random street] in [insert name of random city]." 

YES! thank you for letting me know. i was wondering where my random acquaintance from summer camp in 1986 was getting drunk right now. SO HELPFUL.

seriously, it's like a creepy reverse stalker tool where you are unwillingly forced to stalk really boring people simply by nature of logging on to facebook. i know many of you may be shocked to hear this, but i really do not need or want to know when you are at safeway. or some random douchey martini bar in NYC. or that you "checked in" at your apartment at 12.03 am last night with 1 other (congrats).

i'm pretty sure that if you have to force people to stalk you, you're probably not worth stalking. just saying.  

so please, people, stop the madness.  otherwise, next thing you know, it will progress to: "_____ just checked in for her annual pap smear and pelvic exam at the clinic."

ewww. no.
