Asking for a Retweet - whats the POINT ?

[Easy 10]

"Its my birthday, can I have a retweet ?"
"I dressed myself this morning, can I have a retweet ?"
"I've just clumped the missus, can I have a retweet ?"
"My autistic brother just wrote 'clacker' in his own shit all over the fridge door, can I have a retweet ?"

Seriously - What. Is. The. POINT ?

Poor old CMS is absolutely PLAGUED with these banal requests day and night, I dunno for the life of me how he has the patience. One gimp the other day even asked CMS for a RT for his sons 2nd birthday because apparently "it'll make his day". Well if THATS the highlight of his birthday then I feel sorry for the poor little bastard.

By all means converse with those you are following, but this incessant demand for retweets is for the birds (an inadvertant but moderately satisfying pun there).

Get a GRIP tweeps.

[MENTION=21064]easy[/MENTION]10 Just read your post. Can I get RT

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

"Just got an all clear from the clap clinic, can I get a RT!"

Yeah, painful isn't it.

It's like that moment at a concert or gig of some sort where the singer/comedien/entertainer/whatever says the name of the town s/he's in. It's so exciting to be acknowledge by celebrities, even if that celebrity is a championship footballer.

It is nice to be acknowledged, but with an actual REPLY surely, not a roll-of-the-eyes mindless press of one button. Its basically like deleting spam.

I got excited the other day when I sent Navs an exclusive pic of Barnes and Noone, and he re-tweeted without me asking, and added his own words. I was stoked. What a loser!?!

Ssh! Don't tell them that, their lives will be worthless without even a suggestion of acknowledgement from a celebrity!

its like getting a shout out on the radio, people cream themselves when their name is read out by somebody famous.

100% agree with this!

What is the f**king point Get a life.

 

[ArcticBlue]

I have just posted on NSC - pls can I have a retweet.

Acknowledgement > Good
Stalking > Bad
Asking for banal RT's from CMS > A bit weird

 

[Barrel of Fun]

RT >>>

[MENTION=3788]Barrel of Fun[/MENTION] is one the worst culprits for this.

[stss30]

Completely agree. You can tell whoever it is just begrudgingly retweets it. I hate people who mention illness as well, because then whoever it is feels obligated to retweet it...

 

[Braders]

if you write something decent - it'll get RT'd

asking for one is just abit bizarre.

 

[leigull]

It's CMS' own fault for keep doing it! But yes it is highly irritating and pathetic

Very odd twitter behaviour but do you know what baffled me the other day on facebook:

Status: Gary Speed has died

It had 4 likes

Who the f*** LIKES that status?
