Facebook friends

Aibreann

Almost everybody has a facebook account .. even my friends's mothers met up on facebook. The problem is when you have a crazy colleague at work that starts looking and adding everyone on his list; you can't say no and everybody from work is forced to get in. Now he is annoying everyone in there, the maniac is even trying to become friend with our friends, even if they've never met or known.

What will you do in this case? The maniac is there all the time, posting lot of bullsh....you know? He likes to post all the time on our walls. He is not a bad person but he is a facebook maniac. He gathered over 400 persons in one month, 350 of them he doesn't even know him!!! Do they do pills to treat this type of guys???:pac:

Hmm.. you could remove him as a friend? There, problem solved.

He exists because there are still people out there who accept people that they don't even know, as friends...just because they want to have loads of friends and live in the clouds with the care bears.

Facebook is dying from a lethal wound to the stomach. It's slowly phasing out notifications from friends and replacing them with notifications from companies such as Venga and other mindless ****e.

you could remove the option of being addable.

Means you get to choose who you ask to be your friend!!!

Personally, I think that anyone who uses Facebook is going to hell for their sins.

That's why I steer clear of it, those people have the mark of the devil.

Yes you can. No is the best word in the English language. No can also be elaborated upon and used in the form of f**k off!! I'd have no difficulty in using either phrase to this guy.

If I knew before adding me...never thought the guy was a monster. Then we were too polite not to ignore the f...out from there. Now he is annoying everyone in there ).

I only have a Facebook account because I was Best Man at a mates wedding last year. He wanted to be able to share photos etc, etc, as he lives in a land far away. I never use it, but it was handy at the time for friends sharing the wedding photos. But you see the number of friends people have on it and it's just a joke. Numbers like 445, 780 friends etc, so if they ever marry will they have about 1000, 2000, people at their wedding? No is the answer of course, they will more than likely have between 100 - 300 guests that most weddings average these days. So it is quite clear these saps obviously don't know what the definition of a friend actually is.

I've never got one of these. Remove the applications and you can't get notifications from anything but friends.

Hahaha, why don't they use picassa? It's easier if you upload them there? and faster
I know some users that have lot of friends in there, but they are in some fan clubs or something, going to concerts all over the world...maybe that could explain it..but to add people just to have a business to do at home after work ) thats very funny
I dont have any problem with them adding but dont f...annoy the people in your list, if he feels good just to see every day the number of friends raising, fine, he definitely have an obsession..but don't annoy your "friends"! :pac:

I know, it embarrasing when its a family member or someone close. When they start putting stuff on ur wall, that you know everybody who really knows you will be saying "what on earth??"

weldoninhio

Just reject them. Thats what i do. Normally its workmates, but sometimes others. One of my best friends got his girlfriend to add me while i was in his house. I disliked his gf immensly. He ridiculously said as she added me "Ha ha, imagine if he shot you down haha".

Needless to say the friend request was shot down.

yep, went to school with her, a hateful bitch she was!

Fago!

Do what I did.

Accept them. Then they'll get that notification letting them know you accepted. Then after a day, delete them and block them. They won't know.

Today I'm gonna do a fresh FB friend culling. Deleting and blocking those who I don't know, or like.

Are you sure it's gonna work? I mean will the guy see that I 'm missing from his list? I know that on yahoo if you do that you will see the person missing.

I just leave the friend requests in my inbox. That way they can't send me another one as their first one is still awaiting a reply.

This happened on bebo when it first came out. People would just send friend requests to randomers just like that even if they didn't know them. I call it Popularity Contest Syndrome(PCS) because it seems that the only reason people did it was to show off that they had loads of friends and make it look like they were popular, and to see who could get the most friends. God the amount of times people who I didnt know sent me a request. But I just ignored them and changed my profile settings to block people I don't know from seeing my profile(Incase of stalkers). Anyway maybe that's why the guy the OP is talking about is adding friends. Because he wants to make himself look cool and popular by showing off that he had lot's of friends on his account. Stupid I know, but people are vain.

Obviously not, she's gone right down in my estimation now so she has.

I almost considered deleted the salivating fan boy vids that I made of her.

Almost.

A friend for me is anyone I would be on "friendly terms" with. So anyone who if I saw walking on the street I would be friendly enough with them to stop and have a quick chat with them. In that sense over 500 friends isn't a lot.
When you consider all the people you went to school with, all your friends outside of school when you were growing up, your friends from college, your friends from your current job, your friends from your previous jobs, your family, your friends from a sports team, ex girlfriends and girls you had brief flings with, friends you made when on your travels etc. its quite easy to have 500+.
Would I invite all those people to my wedding? No. Would I go for a drink with those people if they asked or would I stop and talk to them if I saw them on the street? Yes.
Who only adds people that are close enough to them that they talk everyday anyway? An example would be a lot of my friends who I met on my travels who I rarely talk to or see but when they are over in Ireland or I am over in their countries we meet for drinks. You'd probably reject their friend request!

I'd agree with this.



Facebook can be great as a tool, or can be a pathetic popularity contest. I think, so far, it's managed to predominantly steer clear of the latter. Bebo encouraged it, with their 'loves' and view count nonsense. Facebook (at least initially) was a more mature version of the same idea.

I've found facebook to be great for keeping in contact with family in Ireland/America; and people I went to school with who I don't see anymore. I don't why so many people have a problem with it

Shaws

I made a "not friends" list. ppl who requested me as their friend and I'm like WTF!, I just add them into THE LIST, and have them blocked from everything! It's like haha in your face loser - get some real friends! BOOM!:D

opinion guy

Well i think its actually great for staying in touch with people who are afar. But its th epeople close to whom I tihnk it gets weird with. it messes with the dynamics of people you see every day.
