'Shh Don't Tell Steve' Stealthily Follows One Man's Roommate
Brian G Randles — October 9, 2009 — Pop Culture
Shh Don’t Tell Steve is a fantastic little section of Twitter where one man tracks the moves of his seemingly awful roommate Steve, and posts them on the Web.
Although it could be just a trick by the site’s creator, I am hoping for comedy’s sake that it is indeed real. Actually spelled @shhdontellsteve, one of my favorites from the site is, “Steve is wearing his Ed Hardy shirt for Fancy Rich Guy. They are watching Baseball. FRG doesn’t seem Fancy or Rich, but is Stoned.” Nice. Click on the link below to view the amazing 'Shh Don’t Tell Steve.'
