A Very Rare Dingleberry Indeed

There’s that dinging sound again.

Another DM in my Facebook messenger from someone who recently became a ‘friend’.

Yeah, I know, we should reeeeaaalllly be screening this shizzle but we had 76 mutuals so come on…can ya blame me?

Her pic seemed nice. I did scan her profile and she has a couple of yellow labs and looks like she might even be a nurse which is cool. Then there was the 76 mutual friends so if MY friends trust her than this can’t be a spam account so what would it hurt.

Right?

(( So My Wife Doesn’t Divorce Me Disclaimer: for the record I am not looking for love or anything like that I’m simply talking about making ‘connections’ across social media.))

The fact is you can substitute FB messenger for Insta messaging, LinkedIn connects, random texts, parties you attend or any other real or virtual social setting.

Meanwhile…

Your inner Spider Man kicks in. You know. That tingly feeling.

First you kinda sense it…

Next you kinda smell it…

Then you see the little squiggly dots appear on your screen…

And it begins…

…squiggly dots…
