Treasure Jar

It is quite difficult to tell your friends that you are not prepared to listen to their sales pitch about the term life insurance quotes that they want you to know, the latest fashionable clothes nor the newest signature bags they have for sale.

There are those who end up buying whatever it is that the friend is selling, like shirts, bags and even gift certificates.

If  however you refused to purchase from them, as friends, they should be able to understand your position if ever the roles are reversed.

In a status update I wrote in a social networking site where I have an account, I said: “Please do not tag me with things that you are selling.”

There. I hope they won’t take offense with what I wrote.

Have you ever replied to a blog post written or maybe a tweet, and yes, a Facebook status that is totally out of context? By that I mean giving advice or maybe butting in when you don’t exactly know what the topic is really all about.

If you already did, then you probably felt like you wanted the earth to open up and swallow you whole 😀

Imagine butting in “Peggy needs to read fat burner reviews” when a friend’s status was about Peggy having a hard time walking because of her weight problems only to find out that Peggy is in fact, the friend’s pet hog. Ugh! Totally embarrassing.

Has this happened to you? Did you apologize or just tried to forget about it?
