Friend Unfriended Me, Now Lives In My Spare Bedroom For Free
It appears the delicate art of modern social media disengagement has entered a new, delightfully complex phase. One might assume that to be "unfriended" signifies a cessation of all agreeable association, a digital guillotine severing ties with surgical precision. Yet, we are reliably informed of a bold new frontier: the post-unfriending cohabitation.
Imagine the sheer audacity, the unparalleled chutzpah, of declaring a friendship null and void, only to then seamlessly transition into permanent, rent-free residency in the very home of the newly-minted 'stranger'. One must admire the efficiency, if not the ethics, of securing prime real estate amidst a global cost of living crisis through such an innovative approach to interpersonal conflict. It seems some take "making yourself at home" rather literally, and perhaps with a touch more entitlement than is typically recommended.
This ingenious strategy truly redefines the concept of personal boundaries, presenting a masterclass in having one's cake, eating it, and then leaving crumbs all over the host's freshly vacuumed carpet. The question marks that now perpetually float above what were once warm embraces perhaps speak less to confusion and more to the quiet, resigned despair of an entire generation.
