Twitter Lists for an Ideal World

by Veronica on November 1, 2009

in Life

If you use Twitter, you will have noticed a ‘List’ function appear in the last few days. Twitter practically screamed about it at me. LISTS! LISTS! OMG SET UP YOUR LISTS!

But really, I want to talk about Twitter lists for an ideal world.

In an ideal world, where no one would get offended due to being included (or not) on my lists, here would be mine.

People who actually amuse me.

People who think they’re amusing but they aren’t. We’ve all been there.

People who I like a lot, but whose twitter stream drives me fucking mad..

People who say stupid things.

Shit. So that you know that you’ve made my shit list (credit for this one goes to JellyWrestler)

Famous people I follow because I’m a crowd following asshat.

Big name bloggers who don’t follow anyone back.

Jackasses who do nothing but retweet shit links.

People who clutter up my timeline but occasionally throw out a good link so I feel obligated to keep following.

People who I suspect also find their children annoying sometimes.

People who read my blog and enjoy it.

People who will get butthurt if they aren’t on one of my lists.

Businesses who set up twitter just to constantly tweet about their 25% off sale. But only if you’re in their country.

Politicians who thought that twitter might be a good idea, but they don’t follow anyone back, leaving them looking like elitist bastards. Still.

People who won’t jump to conclusions if I say something about stabbing myself in the eye.

People I actually like and think we should just skip twitter and get drunk together.

And finally, last but not least:

People who would help me bury a body, should the need arise.

***

What would your lists say in an ideal world where no one would get offended? Or like me, in a tongue in cheek world. I’ve not got any plans to set up lists in the near future, so don’t stress about it.

I have just made three new lists on twitter hehehe, the shiny list and the glittery list and the top secret T.R.S.F.M.B list

Brenda October 31, 2009 at 7:43 pm

Just so you know I would totally help you bury a body. So you are OBLIGATED to include me on your lists! Hehehe…

Damn, Brenda took my line! When I get that lottery win I’m coming over to get drunk with you! 😛

My lists would be more boring, and i’d have to have wow-people separated from everyone else, just… yknow, so they dont tarnish the stream. 😉

I’d probably just put everyone in one list – the worry about offending people would be too great!

Also, I was going to say what Brenda said too and I second what Marylin said!

The lists function thing bewilders me a bit.

Isn’t who you follow already a ‘list’.

I have 2 lists. Fuckers I follow and fuckers I don’t.

I never get on Twitter anymore. Is there a list for that?

Hyphen Mama November 1, 2009 at 7:29 am

hahaha @ Xbox!

Rachel November 1, 2009 at 7:52 am

LOL I love your lists, and hope I wouldn’t end up on any of the bad ones. you can definitely out me under people who read your blog and love it though!

I don’t go on Twitter, but I do follow and love your blog. So, I’m glad I’m on one of those lists. Great set of lists.

I don’t twitter, so I don’t care.

Tanya November 1, 2009 at 8:18 pm

Can I just get drunk with you, so that I will be courageous enough to help you bury a body?

lceel November 2, 2009 at 5:31 am

I wonder how many of the list slots I would fit in?

Winter November 2, 2009 at 8:52 am

Add me to the body burying list. I even have a BACKHOE incase you’ve got a couple.
