Dear dude I don't know: [something bitchy]
Earlier tonight I received the following message on Flickr:
Hey there-
We noticed today while looking at the excellent photos from
yesterday's Zombie Pub Crawl that you've tagged about what
seems like 50 photos with "zombiepubcrawl2007" that are
really nothing more than photos of a plate of nachos and a
stuffed dog with fake blood splashed all over it. I mean
sure, throw a pic or 2 of your "zombie dog" on there, but
there are seriously a dozen pics of nachos in the photo
pool and it's just a little annoying to have to click
through them when we're trying to look at pictures of sweet
zombies. Can you take the zombiepubcrawl2007 tag off all
the pics of the nachos, Miller Lite cans, and your ugly
zombie dog? People looking for pics of freaky zombies
don't give a shit about that stuff, to be perfectly honest.
It really gets in the way to have to look at a dozen
closeups of greasy nachos.
Thanks,
Everybody else looking at the zombie pub crawl pics
I responded to her polite request with the following uncharacteristically reserved message:
[Name removed], I removed those photos from the zpc photo group, but I'm not removing the tag. Next time say please.
I had uploaded the whole set of photos and assigned that tag, among others, to them en masse. On the one hand, I can see her point about the nachos and beer can photos -- which added up to maybe a dozen photos -- not really being ZPC related, which is why I removed them from the ZPC group (I hadn't intended to add them there in the first place). However, has sending a stranger an alternately sarcastic and snide email ever accomplished anything? Well, perhaps it has, but not with me. You don't like it? Tough shit. I will add whatever tags to whichever the fuck photos I wish. In fact, I think I'll upload some photos of my spread open ass, a Midol, and a toothbrush holder full of Kalamata olives and tag them zombiepubcrawl2007, as well. Welcome to flavor country. Population: suck my dick.

OH NO! FLICKR'S FOLKSONOMIE IS RUINED!
your welcome to flavor country statement is hilarious.
who the hell does that bitch think she is telling you how you should do things.
ps- the pictures from your zombie bar crawl are rad!
If I had a nickel for every photo in the TC Flickr Pool that's not really about the Twin Cities, just a photo of someone's kid, I'd be rich.
She can both suck and blow it.
You inutterable bastard with your Flickr tags.
The ZPC was excellent. It was a hilarious and surreal experience, all in all. I think I'll have to give it a go next year.
This matters enough for her to spend time writing an email....why? Is she planning on visiting daily and flicking her bean to fake blood?
Loops, OMG! Hilarious! And eeeeeewwwww.
Jeremy, you are way nicer than I am. I would've told her to go fuck herself and I would have left all the pictures up. Some people seriously need to get a life.
Aaron, I'm sorry I single-handedly ruined it. I'm adding a "sahrry4fuckingupyerfokesonomeez" tag to all my photos.
Carl, I rather enjoyed that one my own self. I think she was under the misguided impression that the world should bend to accommodate her convenience.
Erica, that reminds me, I need to add some photos of my garden hose and the neighbor lady's ass to the TC pool.
Teucer, that would be fantastic. We'll all go out together. We can be some sort of zombie boy band or something.
Loops, I should add more photos of nachos and some burritos to give her something to flick to.
Jen, I know myself all to well. It was either get all worked up writing a lengthy, pissy response, or just dash something off that told her in so many words "no and piss off." I'd rather focus my energy writing a pissy blog post for all to enjoy.
I'm assuming this asshole is fucking anal enough to apply tags individually to all his photos of the seven Depeche Mode concerts he went to in 1987 (tags: black, shirt, 3buttons, blurry, light, green, white, band, halfofdepechemode). How do I know he's that anal? Because I already know for a fact that he's anal enough to stretch out a one-sentence requested into a 500-word exponentially-redundant private message on fuckin Flickr, like anyone gives a shit.
Everyone mass tags. Nobody with a normal life individually tags unless they upload individual photos. If that doesn't work, then tags can fuck off. The system's here to serve us.
