Facebook is becoming a huge pain in my butt.
I don't know why people think it's ok to request me as a friend when I have either a) never heard of them before and/or b) never talk to them.
I lied. I know exactly why they do it. To be Facebook stalkers/creepers. What I don't get is why they think I would add them.
If I have never talked to someone before and they don't send me a message along with the request I know that they are just adding me to see my business since my page is completely private.
If someone requests me and sends a message along with it saying why they are adding me or where they know me from then I'd be more than happy to add them.
Does this happen to anyone else or do I just have a big magnet on my page? I wouldn't be so annoyed if it was every once in a while but I get at least 1 a day. It bugs me.
Facebook to me is something I use to keep in touch with family and friends. Not to keep track of people's lives because I have nothing better to do.
Ugh, so anyways, that was my facebook rant. Thank you Facebook, for showing me how creepy you allow our world to be.

I know exactly how you feel. I have random people that add me all the time. What bugs me the most, is just when people add me that I went to high school with. I'll deny it, and they'll send ANOTHER one! I've actually have someone send me 5 request in a row until I finally got fed up and sent them a message asking why they kept it up. Their response "We sat in the same row in so and so' Math class, 10th grade, remember?" Yeah..I remember passing back your papers to you, but I don't recall ever talking to befriending you. They just want to be nosey and look at pictures. I can't stand it!
ReplyDeleteYup! I've had that happen too. I like that you can now say "not now" and they go into limbo pretty much. They can't re-request you until you actually deny them. It's great.
ReplyDeleteIf my profile picture is just of me I will get random messages and friend request from creepy weirdo guys (they all are if they dont know me lol). If my profile picture is of me and Boyfriend I get nothing. Once I figured that out I keep it as me and Boyfriend, just saves me the headache.
ReplyDeleteI dont want nosy people looking at my page, its private for a reason and apparently people dont get that hint.
Mine is of me and my husband. BUT I'm pretty sure I set it to private as well. So people who search my name only see a page with my name on it. But I never get guy requests. It's just a bunch of girls. I guess that getting them from girls is better. I would be really creeped out if I got random guy requests.
