Dear Scandal watchers,

I don’t know if you realize this (or even care), but the second-by-second updates you all post as your Facebook statuses not only flood people’s timelines, but kinda ruins it for your west coast friends who have yet to see the show.

And to be frank, that’s pretty rude.

And I know what you’re thinking…..

“It’s not my fault YOU are one of the five people in the world who doesn’t watch the show…If it irks you so much, why don’t you just block me from showing up on your timeline?”

Answer: Because most of you are my friends, and I still want to follow you.

Or you’re probably thinking:

“Why don’t you just not get on Facebook on Thursdays?”

Answer: I’ve tried it, and have no issue doing so….but really, should I have to resort to doing that?

I mean honestly if we could find some sort of happy medium in this situation, that would really make my day. Because let’s keep it real, if somebody who hasn’t had the time to catch up on this clearly captivating series but has all intentions to do so once they find the time doesn’t watch Scandal, they don’t give a rat’s azz about what Huck, Chuck, Quinn, and Linn, Ritz, and Fitz said to Olivia…..And who knows, if said person who has all intentions to watch eventually finally gets around to catching up on the series, you’ve already ruined that opportunity for them.

So….can we minimize the updates? By a smidge?

And if your answer is no, then…I DFWU have an idea…

There is a social media outlet that is perfect for these sorts of up-to-the-minute musings…..It’s called Twitter. So why don’t you sign up for an account? It’s free. Here, I’ll put the link: https://twitter.com/

Then you can hashtag to your heart’s desire.
