You know how you have that one moment on the internet where your sense of humor says cheerio for a bit and you post something you regret? Something that makes you seem like your head is well and truly up your own arse? You do? Oh good, because for me, that moment was yesterday on Twitter.
But I guess in a sense it's not all bad because at least I got someone whose face adorned my bedroom wall as a teenager to call me Mr Miserable. An ex-member of The Cure Mr Roger O'Donnell. That's @rogerodonnell to you Twitterers.
It went a bit like this.
Roger posted:
"OK so Im using Qwitter now, any of you losers dump me and Ill know all about it ... So watch it ! http://useqwitter.com/"
Which, while utterly hilarious, went way over my head and you could actually hear that wooosh noise. So, what else was captain spencer-no-fun to do but reply:
"@rogerodonnell bit of advice mate, insulting people that follow you is not necessarily the optimal way to ensure they stick around."
Which I kinda regretted as soon as I hit that magic send button. Don't you hate that? I hoped figured he'd just ignore it. But he didn't:
"@kevin_spencer Seems my sense of humour is lost on you, will you be my first Qwitter? Go on you know you want to, theres a prize..."
And then of course because I absolutely don't know how to quit when I'm being a douche ahead, I unfollowed:
"@rogerodonnell done. That was easy wasn't it?".
And that was that. Well, not quite, he wasn't quite done yet:
"Wow I feel like Ive just been in a fight up the pub hahaha Some people are very touchy aren't they? Oh well never mind, hope he's happy now"
And then:
"But wait, now Mr Miserable has gone I wont know where to send the prize!"
I think my life is now somewhat complete.
Oh, and the irony of someone who used to be in The Cure calling me Mr Miserable is not lost on me ;-)
Update: and in a surprise twist, Roger suggested we put this all behind us. Which is fair enough and quite unexpected actually. So I accepted. The whole thing still makes me smile though.
