    Someone from work has tried to add me on Facebook. I don't want to add anyone from work. So i want to reject it, but what if they start asking why didn't I accept, what should I do?

    :(

    I can't think of a single thing you could possibly say. Your only hope is to quit work.

    Delete your account and open up a Bebo one instead.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera


    Ignore it and if they ask about it tell them you dont really use it anymore.

    You could always add him/her and customise your privacy settings just for him/her, so they see a 'limited' version of your page?

    Just say that you like to keep business and personal life separate.

    Say you use linkedin for professional contacts.

    Or say that you don't know them well enough to add them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,254 ✭✭✭Thatnastyboy


    Tell them you don't add work people, thats what i do never an issue,



    If they've a problem with it, tell them to eat your ass. :pac:

    Just ignore it...:confused:

    How do people get so worked about these things?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,986 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    facebook for friends
    linkedin for work

    Sorted :)
    I like the idea of burning down your workplace, do that!

    Just reject the request, they probably won't even notice. And if they do, just tell them you don't add people from work. Seems fairly straightforward.

    Although do keep a can of petrol at hand just in case something goes wrong and you need to burn the office down.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,689 ✭✭✭✭OutlawPete


    Whenever he asks you why you didn't accept his friend request, just grab your leg and act like your agony.
    Tell them you have a bit of shrapnel stuck in it from the war .. and walk off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 263 ✭✭marxcoo


    stop being the anti-social and add them...ffs


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,918 ✭✭✭✭orourkeda


    Punch her\him\it in the face


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,547 ✭✭✭✭Poor Uncle Tom


    /facewhat now?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,652 ✭✭✭I am pie


    blast them with...no, no, i can't do it.

    Just fkin ignore the request and if they say anything just say 'didn't see it'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,583 ✭✭✭mconigol


    Lists!

    How do people not know about these?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    Tell them you don't like their face.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭Where To


    What have you got to hide OP?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,349 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    Just tell them you didn't get their request or you don't allow people to request you as part of your settings or something. Maybe just say you don't like using Facebook or that you don't use it much otherwise just ignore if they ask.

    I would do that but i think I made the mistake of leaving my wall open to the public so they will see that and know that I am active on it.

    You mat say, right block your profile, but then they'll know I've blocked it just for them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 202 ✭✭GSI

    Nothing, I just don't want to mix work and personal issues.

    You've answered your own question.

    ie; "Sorry, I just don't want to mix work and personal issues".

    If this is how you deal with facebook then how do you manage to cope in the real world?

    You'd think this was posted in The Thunderdome. Most unhelpful thread ever. :pac:

    YOU CNUT! (keeping with the theme)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 416 ✭✭scudster


    Its called a social network for a reason.

    You could just say to them, "If I wanted you to be my friend I would have asked"
    That should explain it clearly to them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,633 ✭✭✭Feeona


    I'd raise the issue with HR, and if you get no joy, sue the company


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,439 ✭✭✭Kevin Duffy


    When confronted, answer "They have the internet on computers now?" and look confused and surprised. They will be grateful you haven't added them and probably stop asking you awkward questions, maybe even stop speaking to you at all.

    HTH and you're very welcome.

    Jesus, you're a teenager born in 1997 - that even makes ME feel old.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 5,028 Mod ✭✭✭✭G_R


    as has been said, use a list!

    For example, my mam and some of my aunts have decided recently to be all hip and internet like, so I made a list, and changed the privacy options on it. Anyone in that list is not able to see any pics i'm tagged in, and when I post a status, it gives me the option each time to deny them access to it.

    Or you could just make friends with you're work mates OP. I'm sure they're not that bad.

    Odd jobs for neighbours, painting gates, cutting grass, pulling weeds, clipping hedges, etc., goldmine territory and all the exercise you need, just be careful with strangers.
