do you have their email or phone number on your phone/pc?

facebook matches that type of stuff in suggesting friends..
and the occasional "you are now friends" when you never confirmed it
it can be kinda awkward alright...

Methinks your investing way too much time and thought energy into this,stick with boards,at least you know the planks on here:D

p.s Don't forget that little thing called life

Best apply some lube to your sphincter before you log on next time so.

Ah yes. I do have their phone number for school type purposes. Our kids are in the same class.

It actually happened to me where I was scrolling through suggestions and I saw it change to friend request. I didn't touch it and just waited. Thought that I hit the button by accident but then "cancelling request" came up and I definitely didn't cancel it.

Because the request is cancelled, it doesn't show in my activity log so I have no clue how many times this has happened but I've witnessed it happening twice.

bmwguy · 20-08-2016 06:11PM

Live close, have contact details, were in same places as each other, have mutual friends, visit same websites, sleeping with neighbours wife, Facebook knows it all.

The friend suggestion is them testing if their algorithms are working correctly.

Widdershins · 20-08-2016 06:19PM

Facebook has suggested neighbours to me and I definitely don't have their 'phone numbers or email address. I think it happens when you have FB pages in common. For example, maybe you are both members of the local GAA page on Facebook.

NiallBoo · 20-08-2016 06:29PM

It happens. I dropped my phone once and in trying to catch it sent a friend request to a stranger. We're now "friends".

You can cancel a request before it gets confirmed.

You can unfriend people.

A less rude option is to change your privacy settings to limit what a friend can see.

Oh big deal, someone has a friend request from you, and will now see all the waffle that you post up on Facebook. How wonderful for them. If it's anything like the above, they'll be kept entertained with your wonderful witticisms.

Facebook suggests friends based on a number of things. Not limited to:

Location.
Groups you are part of.
Friends you have in common.
Friends of friends you have in common.
People with similar interests.
and a ton more.

Woo, you sent someone a request. And they accepted. It's hardly the end of the world. And you might have made a new friend.

Did ZUCKERBURG piss in your porridge this morning too?

I didn't send a friend request.

It didn't warn me you are sending a friend request.

I don't want the whole world knowing my business.

I only use Facebook to send photos and other communications to my family back home.

I mostly use Facebook as a news feed for stuff I'm interested in and a way to contact companies as I don't use Twitter.

I don't need nor want my neighbor as a Facebook friend and it's now made it awkward for me.

Olishi4 · 20-08-2016 06:40PM

I think they should have a you know "are you sure you want to send a friend request to x?" pop up when friend request button is hit but I doubt they'd do that.

Give it a few days and just unfriend him. Happened me with a teacher in my child's class. She popped up in "People you might know", she lives locally, we'd have mutual friends. A few days later I got the "you are now friends with....". I left it about a week and unfriended her. Simple, and not awkward at all. Unless you make it so.

Sir Osis of Liver. · 20-08-2016 06:50PM

Do they get a notification when you unfriend them?

If you have ever emailed, whatsapped, or maybe even texted your neighbour it can often come up as suggested friends. Facebook puts contacts from other social media that you use the same email on to suggest people you'd know but arent friends with yet

If your neighbour searched your name it may have come up too

Yes. This was my plan too.

Haha ye but God forbid you want to deactivate your account! Its like "are you sure?", "are you really sure?" "Why don't you just put the account to sleep and you can reactivate it when you want?"

freshpopcorn · 20-08-2016 07:23PM

Sometimes I've liked articles by mistake and I appear to be very conservative or very liberal. I think I've added people by mistake at some point!

Just put them into a special group to give them limited access, then phase them out and unfriend them.

20-08-2016 07:33PM

Just block them after sending it, sorted

Senna · 20-08-2016 07:50PM

Yeah happened to me a couple of times when I had a Nokia windows phone, must have been more sensitive to touch as it's never happened since.

Facebook will also suggest someone if they have viewed your profile before, that's what usually happens when someone you vaguely know but have nothing in common with pops up as a suggestion, they were stalking you.

Ficheall · 20-08-2016 09:38PM

I have no friends on facebook at all and haven't liked any pages and everything is set to private - only set it up for a Tinder account and to set up a Facebook group page (both of which were a complete waste of time) and I used my spam (gmail) email account to set it up, so would have had no contacts in there.
Still it's asking me if I know such and such from ten or more years ago whom I would have emailed from my non-spam (gmail) email accounts. Strongly suspect gmail and facebook are in cahoots sharing my contacts info. What can you do...

andekwarhola · 20-08-2016 10:40PM

Worst has to be trying to add one of those sad face likes to a tragic post and not realising until later you did a laughing face one.

When Facebook screws you in da ass!!!
