Facebook friend requests from annoying people at work

God, I don't miss having co-workers. I do have clients that send me friend requests though. I accept them. One of them is pretty religious so when I post something that I know she won't approve of I just edit who can see it so she can't see it. I'm pretty real with most of my clients though. Pretty much none of what I would post on FB would shock any of them.

 

exactly

i hate when people post shit like "i'm deleting all the haters from my page, I don't need any of you!"

its like dude, just because we're facebook friends doesn't mean we're part of each others lives in any way and haven't been since I was 12.

Except for my family and my actual friends, most people on my facebook are just mindless entertainment to me. I don't even mind the facebook drama queens. I don't have to and wouldn't want to talk to them in real life but its vaguely entertaining to read about their train wrecks from afar on a slow day.

I don't really have a problem accepting work friends because I don't really ever post anything on facebook except the occasional picture. My days of getting tagged in a million drunken photos every weekend are long gone.

 

My boss added me and I was like.. anything you see is for entertainment purposes only.

I've been tagged in all kinds of drunken debauchery, pictures with blunts in my hand and so on. Oh well they know what to expect from me.

 

I'm pretty tame. We party but nothing that gets posted is very questionable. My friends and I edit pretty well for fb. Although the other night when I got drunk I was drunk posting on fb. I had a client come in on Monday that is my friend on fb. She was dying laughing at it. She kept saying "You never drink. I loved it. I was reading every comment you posted and was cracking up at you being drunk"

 

Lol this is so true. I had like 2000 friends at one point. I had 500+ "friends" just from high school, then college. Then I got into some media work so loads more came. I just deleted the shit out of most of them. I have like 150 now maybe? Not even sure. I spend more time on IG and FB messenger bc I actually do use that to chat.

 

Actually I have an original Facebook. That's like untouched everything is as it always was. Lots of ridiculous pictures and status info. But theres one person I couldn't ever delete or stand seeing pop up in my timeline or suggestions because they died, so I made a new one and started over. It's pretty empty. Thats where my 150 are.

 

I'm pretty boring now myself. It's become more of a showcase/free advertisement for my work.

And that was a funny night when you were drunk posting on here. Drunk posting is always fun but then you wake up and are like oh shit :2thumbsup:

 

Exactly. Like calling you a couch. hahahahaha. I'm glad you could be a part of that night. We're having a party this Saturday. We'll see what happens......

 

Yeah, I have a LOT from home.. anywhere from we grew up together as toddlers to middle school or high school, college, work. Many I haven't talked to in years but it's cool to stay somewhat connected since I moved away.

 

I'm glad I could be your couch :2thumbsup:

And oh lawdy! :cheers2:

 

Don't get too excited. I might come here just to tell you to go fuck yourself but I probably won't be drunk. I never seem to drink when the party is at my house which I understand makes absolutely NO sense. I'll do my best though. :cheers2:

 

Hahaha I was drunk too. That was funny.

And I can understand why you wouldn't drink. I had one house where I had parties and got shit hammered, but it was a beach shack so I didn't care. It had a hole in the floor and you could see sand, I just slid an ottoman over it. But anything you want to keep nice, yeah..

 

My friends are pretty respectful. I don't really have a problem with them. Most of the time if someone is going to do stupid shit its going to be me when I'm sober i.e. water balloon fight in my kitchen or food fights. I did have to tell one of my friends to quit hopping the fence to play with the neighbors dog but besides that we've never really had a problem.

 

I dont add anyone at work. I have one friend here at work. I enjoy talking to him we hang out play pool. But if he asked to join my facebook i would tell him i have family only on it. Nothing wrong with him just i dont want all the assholes at work that he might be friends with to be going on my page.

 

most of my facebook friends are pretty damn tight. i don't let riff raff in. most are my really good friends that i love to see and hang out with and we actually get to see each other pretty often. it's great for networking and staying in the loop beyond just superficial bullshit.. actually useful stuff. just ignore or deny the shit out of that friend request. i had a dude in real life tell me i was going down the wrong path and give me all this unsolicited advice and just bash everything i wanted to do... got a friend request from him later that day.. guess what.. denied. no problem. i keep my facebook friends pretty tight knit. am i taking it too seriously? no.. i just don't have time for bullshit, and if i had useless people i didn't like on there i just wouldn't use it at all. i mean i don't hate them personally i just don't want to be their facebook friend.

 

She's Brazilian though right? Probably a total fox?

 

I actually think she'd be right down your alley. You could do your whole serpent charmer stuff. You know, the whole pretending to be sensitive kind of thing, with just the right amount of macho.

See, the good ones never meet.

I'm leaning toward accepting her and immediately putting her on my no notifications list. I actually have to decide within a few hours' time since I'll be seeing the cunty **** **** at work later on.

 

Same, I couldn't keep in touch with my friends and family as easily. I also got friends who have moved all over the world that I wouldn't get to see and feel close to. Like my friend Lilli in Finland, just had her baby and I got to see pictures right away. It's a nice feeling. I'm not good at staying in touch with people and having Facebook makes it much easier to keep that connection.

Cherea. I had that happen at work and my solution to it was to make good use of the friends and acquaintances, a lot of people who I just have to seem but don't consider friends are on the acquaintance list. They don't get to see most of my posts and they definitely don't make it to my newsfeed. It's like they are not even there.

 

that's the same reason i don't have a real life.

 

Works every time! :biggrin:
