How to Slap Someone Through the Internet
Because you certainly don’t have the guts to do it in person
Each morning you sit down with a piping hot cup of coffee worthy of its own Nescafe commercial. You’re sitting in your favorite armchair with the dreamy view beside the window, preparing for your daily scroll.
Whether it be Facebook or a community-based writing platform such as this one, each time you open it up there’s potential to experience the internet slap.
And you’re not even out of pajamas yet.
The virtual slap is usually carried out by someone you know and probably even like which is why it feels ohhh so scandalous. They wouldn’t stoop that low, would they?
But the moment the slap makes contact with your face you’re plucked from your peaceful Nescafe commercial in the Swiss Alps and catapulted into the real housewives of the internet.
You audibly mouth the words, “Is this bitch talking about me?”
The thing is, if you have to ask yourself that question, they probably are.
Internet slappers THINK they’re being stealthy. The veil of the web may be as thin as rice paper, but it’s still a veil nonetheless, and they’re using it to their advantage.
