Welcome to the 21st Century/Hell


Guy at coffee shop gets out of his seat and screams "YES. OH. MY. GOD! THIS IS FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE!". He clasps his hands on his head and runs his fingers through his hair in amazement, like a mathematician who has figured out how to divide by zero.  Literally no one responds, so he inches in to the dude sitting next to him and says, "I AM ON THE FRONT PAGE OF TWITTER!". 

The dude politely smiles and goes back to drinking his coffee. Our hero then jumps out of his seat and paces around the shop, yelling "OH SHIT, OH SHIT!" for about thirty seconds at a louder than normal voice. He heads  to the counter, and tells the barista "This...is...the...HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE! ONE OF MY TWEETS IS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF TWITTER!". The barista says "That's cool. Are you trending or something?" and he responds, "I'm not trending, but my tweet is one of the top tweets of the hour. Can you believe that?"

I glance at him for a brief second and he looks at me, shakes his head in disbelief and just says "YES", while giving a righteous fist pump usually reserved for oppressed minorities rising up against dictatorships.

Your tweets, retweeted:

"None of your tweets have been retweeted yet"

Bastards can't even get the grammar right. Talk about rubbing it in. It's has, not have. #losing
