Time stamp is a bitch

I don't understand why time stamps are necessary and mandatory.
Sure, it could help solve a crime in certain cases, but most times, it pretty much broadcasts to the world whether you're an insomniac, drunk, or sad when the time stamp displays anything after 2 o'clock in the morning.

Lets take 2 examples in this case.

Example 1: Social media i.e Facebook.

Yes, I can see you're attempting a status in the middle of the night telling who you think might be yourself that you're suffering through this break up and what what fish paste. Secretly(Or not), you want the whole world to know or else it wouldn't be splashed on a social media. I've been guilty of it myself so who am I to judge? Are we attention seeking whores? Probably. But who isn't?
Time stamping doesn't just stop there. I could be drunk, or I could be working late but I'm somehow drawn to Facebook games e.g Candy Crush. Do I want my whole friend list to see I've been playing Candy Crush at 4 o' clock in the morning? Where's the filter for this shit? Oops... there goes me telling people I've just mixed two combinations. Great, I'm too drunk and tired to notice it. Oh well. Let's be judged. I've got my beer in my hand.

Example 2: Instant Chat i.e Whatsapp
I can't even begin to explain how this is frustrating. It's a horrible waiting game. It's like everyone who you chat to can see when you've been online, and somewhat becomes a scheme to make sure that you respond when you're online or else questions will be brought up "Oh, why didn't you respond to me?", "Hello?????", "I can see you've been online". And when you don't respond, they just keep on going "So, yeah, my dog lost a hair on its tail and I've been trying to look for it under the couch".. and you still don't respond.. "My dog's really sad that he lost a hair :( " .. Seriously. Shut up. No one cares. I'm sorry you can see when I was last online, but it doesn't mean that I need to respond to you immediately. Perhaps I closed our chat window and forgot, or couldn't really care to respond. So yes, there's that option to switch off the time stamp on Whatsapp, but why not implement a custom one. Decide who can see you last online. Whatsapp, you should look into it. It will cause less conflicts between loved ones and shit. Sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of the night and given the fact that I passed out earlier on and Whatsapp was open makes me look like a suspicious suspect. What was I doing online at 3:44am? Fuckall. I rolled around and activated my Whatsapp. Can one see how misunderstanding it can be?
It's also really hurtful. I mean, you're minding your own business talking to your person of interest and you see when they were last online and you're sitting there, heart crushed completely. Lol. It's a mean game, Whatsapp. Mean game.

At the end of the day, everyone gets judged. Whoever says "I'm not judgmental at all" should go wash their mouth with some shit so the shit can have a party in their mouths. If I'm honest, I'd say I'm incredibly judgmental, however I have compassion. I will judge you if you're eating 3 eggs, 8 rashers of bacon,4  muffins, 6 croissants and a litre of Coke for breakfast resulting in you looking like Jubba the Huts sister. You will also furthermore, most likely get diabetes with a coronary heart disease.


Peace and Love <3
