The Twitter The Saddest Twitter Story You Will Ever Hear

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 10:30 AM

This grandma can't quite get the hang of Twitter, so she writes out her messages, FAXES them to a company called Celery, which then posts the messages to her Twitter account. Now her family can know that she's all right! Even if they didn't really care whether she was all right or not. And she can keep in touch with her family! Even though her family doesn't read her Twitters because they have un-followed her. Sigh. Thanks for trying, Grandma.

Oh man, why didn't I think of Celery. It's completely unnecessary, is probably an automatically renewing subscription service and caters to old people who frequently forget to cancel these things.

BANK!

I like the part where the old lady says she doesn't like talking to her daughter because her daughter talks too much. Good times!

I'd almost get one for my mom if I thought she was capable of using a fax machine.
