Brilliant! I love it!


And actually quite true...some people, you just don't want to know what they're doing now (or whether they're a ninja or a pirate....)

Similarly, there are people whom you don't want knowing what it is you're up to now!

Brilliant song

Out of the blue for me, that is scarily pertinent. Typical Thaed. You've been at the entrails again. My answer reflected the song, minus the melody.

When did you start wearing a cape?

Whats even worse is three months after you split she starts tagging photos of you together as a couple.

Actually getting tagged by someone else in general should be banned by international law.

I really wish I had that vid to send a few months ago.... you reckon it's too late to forward it now?

Am I the only one who thinks that the image of Thaedydal, a totally level-headed and stern-but-fair Pagan, looking up novelty songs about Facebook on Youtube to be really out-of-character and ****ing hilarious?

Brilliant song - however I do not see the harm with having an ex as a friend on facebook (though I do not) as long as sufficient time has passed, you have both moved on and there was a strong friendship basis to the relationship. Am friends with one ex on one network (my husband fully knows about this, they are friends separate to our history), I even went to part of his wedding.

i was born a superhero. i flew outa me ma and was fighting crimes using my umbilical cord like a whip.


nah, i picked up saying swish from my clients (typical inner city usa teens into basketball) for when you feel you've done or will do the right thing.

A person who I haven't see in years, found the two absolute worst worst worst photos of me and tagged me....gah I don't want anyone to know that's me!

you can remove the tags btw.

Completely in character for her which makes it more hilarious.:D

Maybe I'm the bah humbug type, but if any longtermer ex of mine tried to add me on a social site, she'd be ignored. I feel the same about guys I was in school with, guys I haven't seen in many many years, who weren't mates then, so I don't really see why I want to be mates with them now. Yep I'm the bah humbug type.:D

But oftentimes, it is too late. You've been away from Facebook too long, and the damage has been done.

What has been seen (by all your friends, family and everyone you know) cannot be unseen.

Wibbs

Set the profile to complete stealth mode. I did after I had friend requests from muppets.

Too right! And it's hugely embarrassing when your mother comments on said photos. You can reject exs and tossers you didn't like in school, but how can you say no to your overly-nosy-but-loving mother!?

Oh god, you poor thing. My Dad is on Facebook but luckily he steers clear of my page for the most part.

Ah, one of the lucky ones! My mum checks my page every day, according to my younger brother!

My dad did join Facebook, but under a fake name. He just trolled on friends' pages who kept hassling him to join, then deleted his account.

I reckon he'd like Boards though! He was much impressed by the infamous 'Pear Bulmers' thread! :pac:

In relation to accepting exs on Facebook, I don't think I would. If I was on good terms with them, then yes. But I think for the most part, the past should stay in the past - particularly if you're still bitter about it

Easily, I have told my other not a chance in hell and to keep away from boards too

Ditto.

:P A friend sent to me.

p.s. this post is written and I sit here at my desk with pigtails in and with a lollipop in my gob. :pac:

mental07

Isn't there a setting whereby you can fix it so that the only person who gets notified about being tagged is you?

Haha! Aww, meanie! :pac:

I was chatting to a friend of my parents recently, having a few drinks and the topic of Facebook came up. She got quite upset telling me about how she tried to add her eldest daughter on Facebook, only to find she was denied!

kingtut

I would never ever accept a friend request from an ex. They are an ex for a reason. You have one chance with me, blow it and you blow everything (for life!) :mad:

My sister set my mother up on Facebook.I removed her as a friend after a week.There were various comments from friends re some of my weekend shenanigans to which she (Mum) commented "he wouldnt do that,hes a nice boy":o

Thats brilliant,what a hero.:D

.Ive probably deleted at least 50 "friends" from it since I signed up.People adding me that I was vaguely aquainted with 15 years ago or random people from around the world telling me how much they love the Irish.I am friends with a couple of ex's on it though however they are ex's from a long time ago that I still bump into from time to time.

Sleipnir

God I'm so glad I deleted my Facebook account. The added stress seems so.....unneccessary.

YIKES. I remember getting a call from my mum a few months ago, answered the phone and the conversation went as follows;

Mum: Well, are you going to go?
Me: Sorry?
Mum: Are you going to go out for a drink with him?
Me: What are you talking about?
Mum: <insert name here>'s left a comment on your page, asking you to meet up because he's in Dublin! Are you going to see him again?
Me: Ehh...
Mum: Ah, go on! Don't be mean!

She knew the details of my life before I did!

It's even more embarrassing when she calls me up to ask who certain idiots who were in my year in school were, because they've tried to add her as a friend!

Agreed. Although I usually like having a good relationship with my ex's. Assuming we're friends is a bit presumptuous

Now that is a strange one.Thankfully she knows virtually none of my friends on there as most of the people that do know her dont have an account.

My mom is on facebook and I think it's hilarious. I'm really proud of her. She's just trying to be more involved in my life and my sister's life. She posts pictures of the family pets in her albums and replies to my status updates.

I recently got a friend request from someone who I can't even believe thought that I would add him back. He must have been dreaming. If I'd known about this song beforehand I would have sent it to him before clicking ignore.


I also deleted someone from my friends list for posting the video of that awful song, "lips of an angel" by hinder. I hate that goddamn song. It's so cheesey. We weren't great friends in the first place anyway and all the updates on my wall were those ****ty, vaguely sexual "so and so has sucked on a lollipop" ones. So no big loss. But Hinder was what did it. Argh! HINDER! wtf.

Handsome Bob

You know what the easy solution is right? Conviently press the ignore button. :pac:

Dankoozy

facebook is a load of **** anyway.

and to people who just sit there and ignore, they need to grow a pair. if you don't like a person, tell them none of this passive 'lets pretend i'm not here' business.

one of the things i hate about social networking is its far too easy to ignore/unfriend people and also far too easy to stir up **** from the safety of your own computer screen. girls love it, lets them get away with **** they would be too afraid they'd get a clatter for in real life

So... first I should tell people that I don't like them.

Then, if I do tell the fecker off, I'm just **** stirring online from the safety of my computer.



It's very difficult to win with you, isn't it?!


As an added note, snide little comments about womenkind as a whole are generally not appreciated around these here parts. You may want to adjust your attitude and read the charter before posting again.

if you tell someone on those sites you don't want anything to do with them i don't see that as stirring up ****. but there are an awful lot of ****-stirrers on those sites, i used to see them before i gave the whole thing up

I think Colleagues inviting you is far worse than Ex's.
Colleagues aren't your friends, yet you spend far more time with them than you do with your friends so 'FB ignoring' isn't really an option.
Delaying the request and pretending i 'haven't been on that thing in ages' is the best i can come up with.
Damn Social Networking pseudo-psychologies.

just get contact details of the people you actually talk to on those things and delete the account

good point.

None of my ex's are on my Facebook. Would be too weird for me. They're my past so I really don't want to know or care what they're up to. If I stayed friends with them it would be different but I'm very much a cut ex boyfriends off straight away kind of person so adding them on Facebook wouldn't make sense to me.

littlebug

Brilliant song- I love it Thankfully no exes have turned up on my facebook. I haven't had to ignore anyone (except a few friend requests from strange south american men- does everyone get those) but I did accept friendship from one ex friend and I kinda regret it now... curiosity got the better of me :rolleyes:

Elle Victorine

I speak to all my exs bar one really and remain on good terms with them so we added eachother on every social site we're on. This however is a great video and a great response if it ever happens to a person who is not that way inclined :P

bnagrrl

I have an FB but so far no exes have tried to contact me on it.
I am constantly getting a friend request from a 50 something year old Turkish man who says he is looking for women for open relationships *shudder*

I had one on facebook that i was on sort of good terms with

after getting a few bitchy comments about some of my status updates, like my holidays, he got put on ignore
never again!
