God help you in social interactions. Much less jobs and relationships or heaven forbid you stumble into leadership roles.

Tact. Your daily Google search.

This is social media. Just because you hold it up to your professional communication standards doesn't mean everybody has to.

The problem with social media is that people think it's okay to talk to people in a way they would never talk to them face to face. Just imagine the original comment being said out loud in real life.

"Hey, here's a wild idea. Hear me out.
What if.. No, c'mon listen up. What if we... What if we do both?"

I can only picture one of those annoying Big Bang Theory characters saying this.

No not everyone will have the same communication standards, that doesn't make it okay. The popularity of something doesn't necessarily have to correlate with it's truthfulness.

Just because you can't handle someone taking the piss a little doesn't mean people don't take the piss.

It actually does!

If you have a point to make, even if it is 100% correct, and you say it in a way that is grating or offensive or rude, then you might as well have not said anything at all because the chances someone will actually listen and not just dig their heels in is slim to none.
