Re: Who Reads your Posts
OP: https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/33829601.aspx
I didn't post at 12-24 because I don't really know those people but this reminded me of something that happened to me on The Knot. I made a bio and had reviews at the bottom of it and had a less-than stellar one about my officiant. He called me by my mom's name, forgot to read a whole part of our ceremony, told a wrong story on how we met and was an hour late to the rehearsal.
Well like 3 years after I got married I get this email from the minister telling me I am an evil person, he is going to sue me for slander, my mother and deceased father must be embarassed to have me as their child, etc. WTH. Come to find out, his daughter was getting married and became a Knottie and somehow came upon my bio and sent it to him. Not only did he rant to me (and I took down the review), he called my mother and ranted to her and sent a nasty email to her as well.
Yeah, you never know who is reading your stuff on The Bump. And Juliet, if you are now an eco-friendly family person, I am sorry I upset your dad so much but he really did screw up my wedding ceremony. XOXO.

HA!
And that stinks. I had a less than stellar officiant but he meant well (I think we were his first ceremony) but if I'd had the issues that you did, I would have been livid.
ha! I love your last paragraph.
fishnchips annoys the snot out of me, though. I can totally see how her whole family would be completely ridiculous.
Ditto - my officiant was my grandpa, so I'm not sure if it would have been more or less odd if he called me by my mom's name... He co-officiated my parents' wedding as well. I could see my g'ma lurking, though!!!
*waves*
My g'ma would totally lurk. She LOVES to stir up sh!t. I wonder if there's a Bump board for g'ma's? If there is, she's probably on the Snarky G'ma board. Shoot, she probably started it.

Yeah, my mom is a member. But she says it's boring - women jabbering about scrapbooking and grandchildren and bus trips to Atlantic City. She was hoping to meet some fabulous single man with a boat or at least some woman she could befriend and go on a Napa Valley wine tour with. No such luck.
Yeah, my g'ma would find that boring, too. She'd just want to dish dirt on her neighbors. lol
Ooo - just found a post about dying easter eggs naturally. Yup - I can fit in with the boomers... *sigh*
That is crazy. My officiant accidentally said "in sickness and in death." DH repeated it without thinking. Neither of them noticed until I pointed it out later. I would have been mad if he'd made all the mistakes you listed though!
Oh and I think it would be funny if someone I knew read my posts. I don't think I've ever vented about my family or close friends though. I don't cause much drama. I do vent a lot about work... wonder if anyone from there is on here? Oh well, my last day is this week, so it doesn't matter!
I have a story...
My cousin (who is old enough to be my mother) unfriended me on facebook after she and I disagreed on something stupid (via facebook- klassy, I know...). It really shocked me and made me laugh because it was so totally ridiculous. Well, her daughter (who is my age) was lurking and C&Ped it to her mom, who got even more mad. Whatever. I said nothing untruthful and said nothing that I hadn't already said to her. It was nothing new, I was just going on about how dumb it was. Ya know...
The funny part, she was complaining about how "awful" my grandma was (who I was incredibly close to- who also died when I was in middle school), but she was acting the exact way that she said she was so mad at my grandma for acting. Interesting. That apple didn't fall too far now did it?
So yeah.... ya never know who is lurking, but that's why I try to make sure I don't say anything I wouldn't say to anyone's face. I read one time to not post anything you wouldn't post in the break room (or teacher's lounge) at work. Good rule of thumb.
