Funny Facebook Invites

[Deleted]

I'm not a big Facebook fan but thought you all might enjoy one of my Facebook "suggestions"...from my deadbeat tenant whom I had to start eviction proceedings last year.  Other than living in the same town I don't know what else we have in common...

Name some of your funnier "invites" or "suggestions".

I was a member of facebook for a whole 2 weeks. I couldn't believe the increase of emails that resulted. My wife's family is huge & crazy ass in love with the idea of online communication. Someone having a tummy ache & the result was 30 or so mails. Facebook just made that worse. I deleted my account when I signed on & had 40 requests. That just freaked me out.

Bonny - if you communicated with your tenant by email at all, it pulls in those email addresses and suggests that you friend those people. I get everyone from work that way :/

I once got "friended" temporarily by a girl from high school that stole my boyfriend (we were 16, not really a big deal now). They live nearby and I had run into them when visiting church with a friend. Turns out she was just adding me on FB because she was afraid that he was cheating on her with me for some reason and was trying to find proof that he had been in contact with me? It was so bizarre. She then "unfriended" me and I found out later she had been the one cheating on him with one of her ex-boyfriends from high school.

Yeah on the email thing.

When I first signed up for FB, it sent out email invites to everyone I'd ever contacted in my 10+ years with the account.  Old boyfriends, bosses, coworkers, landlords, all of it.  I had no idea until it was too late

After my Grandma died, facebook kept having a list to "suggest friends for Naomi".    My sister finally got sick of it and emailed Facebook saying, "She died".  They put her account on some status (maybe in active) where we could still see her wall, but we no longer got the suggest friends.  My dad or uncle would have had to give Facebook a death certificate to cancel the account.

My husband's dead mistress' ex husband. 

FB recommends him as someone I might want to add as a friend about once a week because he and I exchanged emails a few years ago.  He is a lawyer and helped me track his ex down so I could file a restraining order against her when she started stalking my son and I.

5 years ago I had an open position, went through the standard interview process and ended up hiring someone who is (as stated by my boss) a C player, C+ at best.  This week I was cleaning out my filing cabinet and found the folder with all the resumes of people who I interviewed.  Knowing that I didn't make the best choice, I went and googled all the candidates that I did not hire, and ended up just looking them all up on Linkedin.  Most of them looked like they were floundering around in this crummy market just like everyone else.  

I forgot that Linkedin tells people that you looked at their profile.  So, I got a connection request from one of the guys.  I wonder if he remembers interviewing with me and is wondering if I am hiring again.  I think that was the guy that got an offer from us and an offer from another company, and chose the other company.  I'm afraid to look now.

Wow - sounds like she never graduated!  With that behavior she must still think she's in high school.

That's interesting. It's almost been a year to the day since I last exchanged e-mails with her.

I'm  thinking about the deadbeats that I had to evict from the San Diego condo. I definitely want to be their "friend" since they left in the middle of the night without letting me know and owe me $$$!

greeniis - it is odd. That was the first time I had seen him in almost 10 years! I ran into her the other day at Walmart. Well, we were both there, she saw me, turned around and walked away as fast as she could. I just kind of giggled and went on about my business.
