Once upon a time, as social media was becoming more and more prevalent in our lives, the concept of "crashing" -- people invading events they weren't invited to, then posting these escapades online in order to get clicks, attention, media coverage -- seemed to be a hot topic. A weird couple had crashed a White House state dinner, then posted their pictures of it on Facebook -- and all hell broke loose.
Well, like many things, what once seemed outrageous today now seems normal.
People are always crashing and disrupting events, then putting it on social media -- and no one really cares. It happens all the time. It's boring. But in 2010, I wrote what I thought was one of this blog's better posts about the topic of "crashing", it was still somewhat novel.
To me, people who "crash" are pathetic. As I said in the post, why go somewhere you aren't wanted only to look like the very kind of desperate, pathetic loser that would naturally not get invited to such events? Why announce to the world, "I'm an outcast! No one likes me!" Do people think they're going to win sympathy from people doing this? They just look like jerks.
