What does your wife / girlfriend think of you spending time on AP?

[Cow Corner]

My missus couldn't care one way or the other, she would not have even known about it if I didn't have a small meet. My missus doesn't do facebook or twitter or online games or any of that nonsense and enjoys a beer with me over a game of pinnie with the family.
Sweeeeeeet!

Your on a winner there mate

 
Best thing that ever happened to a wombat like me thats for sure.

My wife spends way more time f**king around with Facebook than I spend on here so no probs

Status update: Just took a huge dump, I had to strain to push it out and it hurt a little bit, but extremely satisfying once it was out. Uplifting, I think I lost a few kgs. (Insert dumb acronym on emoticon here..)

Bunch of my younger mates that I play poker with every now and again on friday nights are Facebook mad,one of them said he can't live without it.
They are constantly and I mean constantly toying with  smart phones( the dumb phones must really feel left out...they need a support group) updating status or whatever it is they do. I have even seen them do it on the golf course. WTF is all that about!

I hate it when they are doing their updates under the table, like no-one can see what's going on. I always ask what's wrong with what they are doing that they need to hide it under the table? Then insist they do it above the table. Usually get a response that doing it where people can see them at the table would be rude!! Figure that one out!

So annoying when you are sitting beside someone and they are piss farting around on thier phone the whole time.  What happened to the good old days where you people actually had personal interaction
The younger generations will grow up to be social recluses know knowing how to deal with people face to face.
Sad that technology is making people dumber

I have given up hassling our teenage daughters about not bringing their  phones to the dinner table and turning them off at night (what was I thinking to even try

The guys I know do it right in front of you without a care in the world,they will hold up a poker game, a tee shot or a shout to do the facebook biz or take or make a phonecall to talk absolute shite that can wait til later on easily. I keep asking them to leave the phones on silent when we are playing golf but it never happens and normally interupts the round at least a few times.

Nail on the head, Matt. I missed a friend's Birthday a while ago and later on I was asked "How come you didn't go". I replied "I was not invited". His reply - "It was all over Facebook and the invites were sent out from there". My reply - "I'm not on Facebook and I never will be.."

I'm in the IT industry, and I am a "stick in the mud" regarding online crap like Facebook and Twotter. After all these years, the question most asked is "How do I get rid of my Facebook account" !!

At least with pins - we have meets and can put faces to forum names. Nothing better than meets

I ain't ever going to be on Facebook either !  Gotta agree re meets . 
If I can actually get all my pins working at the same time I might hold a meet later this year

Perhaps we should have a Facebook bashing thread.

Back on topic.

My missus doesn't really say much about my being on AP, she just says that I'm obsessed with pinball in general.
Online about pinball, talk about pinball all the time, fix pinballs, go to other guys places to play pinball, all my mates are into pinball too and play pinball all the time.
She says most guys that spend as long as I do online are looking at porn. So I think she's glad I just look at pinnie porn.

[Prince]

My wifes the best. She happen to stumble across the porn tumblr pics on my iphone the other night and chose not to delete them!...
Strange thing is, I didn't cop an ear bashing because she knew that i would have thrown it back at her for spending too much time playing "Word with Friends" constantly on her Samsung Galaxy phone.

[Pinprick]

I'm on my own so i don't have anyone to answer for. I do as i want 

Yeah, me too.

Got rid of the wife (not offed her, but should've) many years ago, no old ducks will have me now, so I do what I f**king please - when I f**king please.

I once had a young bloke come out onsite with me a few years back... we were in a cherry picker putting a sign up... he was holding it in position while i went to screw it off. His phone rang and he dropped the sign to answer it... i caught it with one hand, dropped my drill driver and saved the sign. Kicked the prick off site straight away.. useless turd.

Forward on a few years and same guy appears onsite again working for a firm i was subcontracted to. I refused to have him in the bucket with me and had him as ground spotter instead. Each time i needed something from the truck i had to tell him to get off the phone... now i just refuse to have him anywhere near me... useless turd

Probably too much information, but made my day with laughter.  Yup, moments like these are right up there!

Totally agree guys, having this techology and that latest gadget, and who is who's friend on facebook, twitter and tweeters ....... no wonder the younger generation is going pear-shaped with alot of rubbish out there.

Curb your Enthusiasm - great series from Larry David the creator of Seinfeld (he is the bald guy in the clip below)

*Language warning*

As for Facebook their slogan should be, 'trying to impress people you either don't know or don't really care about anyway'.
