Sometimes I just have to chuckle. Apparently, my life is still of interest to folks from my past who have yet to move on. Let me explain.
I had one of those Tik Tok pages a while ago. My coworkers sit and watch videos at work when they get a break. One of them suggested I join. When I created my account, they obvious thought they’d know what kind of content to show me. “Let’s see, here is a guy in his early 50’s….lets show him girls with big breasts.”
I swear, I asked my coworker why she would tell me to get in the app. “All they show me are girls with big boobs! I don’t want to see that and I certainly don’t want my kids to be playing a game on my phone and accidentally see that garbage!” She told me in order to get what I want to see I have to search things like “great golf shots” or “funny cats.” I told her I could think of better things to do than to just watch “Tit Tok” and deleted the app.
Fast forward about a year. My wife Sam watches Tik Tok and get’s ideas for games with the kids, She gets recipes. She gets book ideas. She sees funny posts about marriage and having toddlers.
She began to forward me videos on Facebook. I told her I couldn’t see them because I didn’t have the app. She encouraged me to download it again so I could see what she sends. I told her why I didn’t want to, but I ended up getting it.
The only content I have posted was Detroit Lions things. I haven’t posted anything personal. I may have posted a silly picture from the internet, too, but that’s it, My posts are kinda boring. That didn’t stop a bunch of foreign folks from following my page. I don’t know who they are, A couple friends found me on their and added me, too.
One thing that I like about Tik Tok is that I will get notifications saying who looked at my page. Naturally, it wasn’t but a week after I started my account back up that I got a notification: (Ex-wife) had viewed your profile. I laughed. She viewed it a few times after that, too.
Then I got one: (Former Sister-in-Law) has viewed your profile. They are like two peas in a pod. Then another one popped up: (Ex-wife’s friend and former coworker) viewed your profile. Really?!
I suppose I am the Most Interesting Man in the World. Maybe I need to do a few more beer commercials?
Anyway, I thought about calling them out on the page, but why bother? I truly don’t know what they want or what they expect to see. So I just posted a photo of a woman looking into binoculars with the song “Somebody’s Watching Me by Rockwell” playing. Oh, and I wrote, “Nothing to see here, please move along!”
Will they get the hint? Probably. They’ll create phoney accounts so they can keep looking. I promise, my page will be very boring. I can assure you, there are people who are more interesting that me that you can stalk….
