Facebook etiquette

· · 🌡️ 58°F

I know I have better things to do with my time than to worry about this, but what does one do when someone one really does not like adds one as a friend on Facebook? I mean, I have had people I did not know all that well and was not particularly friendly with add me - but this is the first time I've had someone with whom I was openly hostile add me as a friend.

Seriously, what would motivate this person to want to be back in touch with me, when he was such an asshole to me for so many years? Why would he think I'd want to be back in touch with him?

    They could be holding out an olive branch.

    They could be looking for an easy way to unload some guilt for a past transgression perhaps?

    But you are under no obligation to add them. Zombie Emily Post agrees.

    I accept on 'friend' requests from hot chicks, and ignore all others (no offense, guys! :D ).

    Just ignore him.

    deny the add.
    I refuse to add anyone I don't know. And wouldn't add someone I dislike, either.

    I also ignore all app/survey/quiz/etc requests. (so no offense friends- nothing personal.) But it's stupid that you have to add the dumb application to your page just to find out the answers to silly quizzes. No thanks.

    here's a more complex facebook etiquette question- what does one do when one's boyfriend changes his 'status' to single, and his 'looking for' to 'relationship', and when called out says "oops sorry i was drunk and vindictive, didn't mean it, sorry"- but then doesn't change it back?
    Makes me wanna change my own. Maybe that's the modern way of breaking up?
