For those of you who frequent social media, you may have noticed Facebook was having a few issues this morning. And by issues, we mean the ENTIRE SITE WAS DOWN.
So, of course, Twitter had a field day…
If you aren't able to get into Facebook, you're not alone. A lot of reports are coming in about #facebookdown ? pic.twitter.com/5QOjyChQot

And people certainly didn’t start questioning their entire existence…’cause that would’ve been ridiculous.

The worst part: there was a full hour where we actually had to talk to people…in person.*Gasp.*
Yes, Facebook is down. Stop looking at your phone and say hi to your neighbor. #facebookdown pic.twitter.com/2vxSMwo8hk

Just kidding. We all just sat there, staring at our computer screens, waiting for it to start back up again.

Yeah. That was definitely the safest option.
Eventually the social media gods answered our prayers.
