Driving back from a party...
...and having my dad's Facebook ineptitude read out in the car.

Truly the worst party experience of my life so far.

*cries*

He should NEVER be allowed near a PC
Or anything else for that matter.

*cringes*

Anything you'd care to share with the rest of the class?
(I'm not on facebook and this sounds amusing)

I'll let chickenlady do this
It's far too raw for me to elaborate on right now.

BTW - nice to meet you finally, Mr Crow.

PJM's dad had evidently been perving over my friends list
and had come to a halt at Madam Marlboro....Then at some point later (Saturday night) he experienced a problem logging on to FB.

The problem being situated between the PC terminal and the chair.

So in his rage he fired off a message to FB which goes as follows...
Sirs
Why is there still a problem getting on to facebook. You have my new address & my response to your e-mail. That was over two weeks back & I still an informed there is a problem with logging in. CAN WE PLEASE!!! GET IT SORTED? THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM. Its You. Are you in the right job??? I just want to log on.
Regrds

PJM's dad

All of this would be slightly cringeworthy but nothing worse than many of us have considered at some time. However, he did not go to the Help page, no. Instead he posted this as a comment to a status update of MM's which I had liked - which is presumably how he found it.

The wonderful MM replied to him:-
Dear PJM's dad,
I'm sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the level of service offered here at facebook; however I regret to inform you that we have recieved no correspondance from yourself-could this be a problem at your end? Whilst we are in possession of your new address it is difficult for us to anticipate what you would have us do with this information. Perhaps if you could re-send the email we may be able to assist you.
Best.

She's brilliant.

And Noel and I almost wet ourselves in the car on Sunday driving home while PJM cried quietly.

*wipes away tears running viscous with concentrate of mirth*
His Dad's original mistake was brilliant in itself, but MM's gloriously deadpan response makes it absolutely sublime.

(Sorry, PJM, you're probably embarrassed enough as it is right now...)

I think PJM should post this for this week's qotw
As he's never finished teaching his dad how to use the internets.

I promise to click it as many times as I can
If he is brave enough to do so.
(LongJohnBaldry, Mon 28 Jun 2010, 15:31, Reply)

I might do this...
...but I'd never, ever show my face at another bash or post anything on the internet again, ever.

Go on!
Post it. It's hilarious.

And best of all it wasn't my mother.
