FB...well this is random

redshoegirl · May 2010

I just got a friend request from a friend of my SIL who I've met a grand total of three times. Um, no thanks - I'm sure you're nice and all, but I use FB to keep in touch with my actual friends, not random people who want to up their friend count (or whatever reason is behind the request)!

maybe she would like to know you better?

I know what you mean though. I get request from other flight attendants from my work whom I've never even met but we have lots of friends in common.

Maybe, but I dunno...the last time I saw or spoke to her was...hmm. Three years ago?

I get a lot of those "friend of a friend" requests and just decline them. Totally random. Sometimes I think, "okay, maybe they want to get to know me better" and then other times I am like "WTF?" I do know that since we've had Libby a ton of J's extended family has been FBing us because they want to see pics of her. I am talking second-cousin-twice-removed-by-marriage type of family. Like the only reason we know they're family is because of their last name. Too funny.

I think randoms like those pop up with the 'people you might know' suggestions.

I get those all the time and I assume its people seeing the "people you might know" suggestions. However, just because Facebook suggests we may know each other, doesn't mean we do nor does it mean I want to (not to sound mean). Plus... after having an ex's wife try to befriend me on there numerous times - under a fake profile pretending to be my ex, under her profile and under another fake profile of a random person - I'm definitely suspicious/cautious.

maybe she just wants to see baby pictures?

I know what you mean though. While on mat. leave a lot of my co-workers "found" me on FB - ugh. Some are people that I don't know at all - like don't work in the same building and don't work w/ one on one ever.

Oh and lots of my SIL's (she's in HS) friends always send requests to DH and I... His mom told us not to ignore so that we can better keeps tabs on what SIL is up to - hahaha!

Yeah.... I just had an ex's cousin who I met maybe twice more than 10 years ago try to friend me. Weird! Um, no!

That's so weird Cristin & Malia! Cristin - that's totally creeptastic. I wonder why she's so desperate to know more about you?

I have no idea why she keeps trying. He and I dated for three years and broke up right before they started dating and got married (they dated for about a month or so before they got married). Perhaps her husband, my ex, is still as shady as he was when we were dating and she's trying to find out who he's sneaking around/talking with. However, I've already let her know - numerous times - that she can look elsewhere because I don't talk to him at all. Oh well... until she gets it, I'll continue to deny these requests.
