Facebook's newsfeed...the chronological listing of friends' stories can cause mass confusion.
Necessary background first: I'm watching the Browns-Broncos NFL game. Broncos are handily winning...One of my friends (Browns fan) comments to another friend (Broncos fan) "Congratulations." As I'm watching the game, I assume that's what they're talking about, so I comment "yeah this is going to get real ugly really fast."
*Continue scrolling down newsfeed, blissfully unaware of the mistake* until...
"Oh...crap...Bronco's friend announced he's engaged today!" Annnnd...now I'm the scumbag who said "This is going to get real ugly really fast."
*shakes fist at newfeed*
