What?!!!!?

Today's rant is brought to you by those that get offended when I ask them a question about something they posted on Facebook or Twitter. The person I'm talking about will probably read this so I won't be that specific. It was not their intention to offend me and that is why they have not been met with retaliation. Also, this has occurred more than once, causing this rant.

I read a post about someone having a life changing experience. They did not state what it was but they were specific enough to warrant a question.Out of respect for this person, I won't say exactly what the post said but it was along the lines of "Getting something done today for the first time." When I inquired about what specifically was being done, they told me it was none of my business. Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but when you make something public (they have over 1,000 friends), aren't you opening yourself up to questions about your post? If I posted "I ordered a suit online today! :)" and people ask what kind of suit, I'm not going to say that it's not their business because I told the world about it. If I post about something, I am willing to talk about it, no matter what. If I'm going through a hard time and post "Really crappy day today." I expect people to ask why, requiring me to answer.

I guess the moral of my story is that when posting something personal online to the world, expect questions and don't be afraid to answer them. I am in no way attacking this person and I know it was not their intent to make me feel like a D-bag but when they said it wasn't my business, I felt like I was intruding on their life.

Food for thought.
