My coworker laughed at me for checking my viral video 60 times a day, and now she's the one refreshing her post
Last month my dumb video of my dog sliding across the kitchen floor hit 2.1 million views overnight and I could not stop checking the numbers. My coworker Dana, who sits right next to me at our office in Columbus, kept telling me I was being weird about it and that I should just let it do its thing and move on. I got kinda mad honestly because she has never had anything blow up, so who is she to tell me how to act. Well fast forward to last Tuesday and her video of her kid's science fair volcano totally erupted on TikTok and she got 800k views in like a day and a half. Now she is the one texting me at 11pm asking if the like count is frozen or if she got shadowbanned. I wanted to be petty so bad but instead I just sent her the same screenshot of my refresh count I had saved from when she made fun of me. The wild part is how fast your brain switches from "this is silly" to "I need to know if it went up in the last 4 minutes." Anyone else had a friend or coworker totally flip their stance once their own post popped off?

Wait, 800k views on a volcano video? That is wild. Like, of all the things to blow up, a kid's science fair project is not what I would have bet on.
The part that got me is you saved the screenshot. That is some next level patience right there, because I would have sent it the second her views started climbing.
Her texting you at 11pm about shadowban is so real though. The panic is the same no matter who you are, your brain just short circuits once those numbers start moving.
