I have noticed that many of the people who were moaning, and crying into their pillow, at instagram, whatsapp, and facebook being down, are the same ones who mocked and derided people who were upset and worried about getting no petrol. With their sanctimonious and smug 'how pathetic that people rely on their cars so much' and I am SOOO glad I ride a bike/walk everywhere' type posts...
Hilarious how these same people were losing their shit at whatsapp, facebook, and Instagram not working for half a day... I think not having any petrol, and not being able to get to WORK, and not being able to get to sick and vulnerable people/relatives/loved ones, is a bit worse than not being able to take a photo of your pumpkin spice latte, and show it off to all your fake friends on facebook and instagram.
