Every day we hear people complain about others.
One day it’s auto-DMs, the next it’s poor service and then it’s terrible grammar and spelling in an email.
Why aren’t you calling these people out? Why aren’t you holding people responsible for their actions?
Think of it the next time someone is yapping loudly on a cell phone in the line next to you. Ask them, politely, to either be quiet or get off the phone. See what the rest of the people in line do.
Next time you get an auto DM, TELL EVERYONE ELSE ABOUT IT. Let us police ourselves.
Deal with a dishonest company? Let someone know. If you want to do this in private, pick a loud mouth with revels in this kind of thing (ahem).
Start holding others accountable, it’s the only way they’re going to learn.

As far as auto-DM’s go, I normally just unfollow or block the person, but I’ve specifically told individuals that they are lame as well, due to the practice.
I’m definitely not one of those people that keeps everything private just to be “nice” & it can definitely be annoying when others complain about the anonymous person or business.
Sounds like a good plan to me.
Why don’t you stop posting this blog because it SUCKS!! Anyone with me?
@Bryan
This blog could use some constructive criticism. Tird Hurst, please write something more intellectual rather than sounding like a stoned college student. I’m now calling you out.
You wrote: Complement and compliment do not mean the same.
It SHOULD read: Complement and compliment dot not have the same meaning.
Stop giving people advice. If you need to have self-worth, then get a degree and contribute to the world.
I’d say you look like Tweek from South Park, but I’m sure you’d take it as a compliment. I take it you’re one of those 30K millionaires from Scottsdale, right? Wake up, chief! Writing blog posts for your designer girlfriend doesn’t make you a “writer”. If you write as poorly for clients (i.e. your girlfriend), then you’ll finally need to get an education.
I’ve heard you’re an ASS from several Twitter folk. If you plan to be a Twitter “shock jock” then you need to balance it out a bit by NOT being an ass!!!!
Oops! Sorry. I meant to call you Turd Hurst instead of Tird. I almost took your job from HIreChelsea as the worst writer in the world.
Good catch on the compliment/complement thing. Another set of eyes, or someone who actually edits, is always good.
How are you calling me out? What is it you’d like from me?
I am an ass. Thank god people are finally getting that right.
Who are you, anyway?
I can’t believe Michael Jackson is dead!
