What Happened to Common Sense?

Dear Friend I Rarely See,
No, I'm totally not offended that you just ended a Facebook conversation with me so you could go and watch TV.
Sincerely, Are You Kidding Me?
....Like, is this okay now? Apparently it's completely acceptable to be like, Sorry, I can't talk to you, despite the fact I haven't spoken to you in at least a month and continually nag you to get together. I need to go watch Star Trek on Netflix, which I can watch ANY TIME I WANT TO. BECAUSE IT'S INSTANT. So bye." What kind of day and age are we living in? I don't just say to my friends, "My bad, guys. I have a ton of 'Malcolm in the Middle' episodes burning a hole in my DVR, so we'll do the mall next week." What in the world? Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but really, what happened to, "I know you have things to do, but it was nice to talk to you"? Or "I have some things to do, so I'll see you later"?

....Of course, I'm overreacting. But seriously, don't end conversations with people because there's a rerun of The Brady Bunch on. That's not okay.

End
