Here is a conversation with people in the real world:<\/p>\n
Me: I went to Mel’s Diner the other night and got the fish sandwich. They put mayo on it, which I thought was gross.<\/p>\n
My Friend: Really? You don’t like that? That’s one of my favorites. I like their fries, too.<\/p>\n
Me: Oh yeah. The thick-cut ones? Those are good.<\/p>\n
My Friend: Good times, good times.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Now the same conversation, on the internet:<\/p>\n
Me: I went to Mel’s Diner the other night and got the fish sandwich. They put mayo on it, which I thought was gross.<\/p>\n
Commenter#1: I can’t believe you don’t like the mayo you must be retarded.<\/p>\n
Commenter#2: Why would you forbid them from putting mayo on things! Are you some kind of fascist?!?!<\/p>\n
Commenter#3: I would have taken that sandwich and shoved it in the waitress’ face if she was ever stupid enough to do that to me!<\/p>\n
Commenter#4: It was tartar sauce you dumbass.<\/p>\n
Commenter#5: You’re wrong. The mayo is what makes that sandwich great. If you’re not smart enough to realize that maybe you should stick with McDonalds!<\/p>\n
Commenter#6: Then don’t eat it. DUH! Nobody had a gun to your head.<\/p>\n
Commenter#7: If you bothered to learn about other culture’s you would realise that not everyone likes the same thing you do in other countrys they put mayo on all kind of things dont be so close minded. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
