10 Signs You May Have A {Slight} Social Media Addiction.


{1} You hit your four digit iPhone passcode into your microwave. Twice.

{2} When spying your toddler do something hilarious over the video monitor, you’ve attempted to “like” it.

{3} You've texted your spouse to come watch this hilarious thing on YouTube with you. From one room away.

{4} The instant you get a good photo taken, you mentally crop it for your profile pic.

{5} If a tweet gets no comments, no RTs and no stars, you threaten to quit Twitter. Forever. I mean it. 

{6} You roll your eyes at every single someecards and Imgur meme posted…but still click through and chuckle. (It’s like they were talking about me!)

{7} It takes a second to pinpoint which of your kids has had her vitamins, but zero time to recall whose turn it is in Words With Friends.

{8} You sometimes look down at your hand to find that your thumb has been hitting “refresh” on a feed you don’t recall opening.

{9} Unsubscribing from mailing lists and creating new filters feels like a pretty productive use of three hours.

{10} The line “I read it on a blog” has been used to successfully prove your point more than once. ‘Cause that’s where all the knowledge is.

#10 works for me! I was just telling my mom about Zuzu Monkey and her S'PRIZE! Which cracked her up! :)

Yes! #3 is my wife and I. Yesterday, from two different devices, we posted to the same thread on Facebook not even three seconds apart without talking to each other.

I've also tried to pull down my TV screen to refresh, but to no avail.

Hey, it's how we make our bread and butter, yeah? (Now I'm snacky.)

Keely said...

Oh, the In The House Facebook Convo is a personal favorite. And the image of someone actively pawing at a TV screen makes me guffaw. So I thank you.

It was a little too easy to write.

Yeah, part of me didn't feel that was an addiction so much as REALLY USEFUL.
