I was lurking around on facebook and saw a post that made me giggle. One of my friends said that her husband has what he calls "friend purgatory".
What is friend purgatory?
When someone requests your friendship and you just leave the request hanging out there. You don't NOT ACCEPT it, because then you will show back up on their suggested friends list and the cycle will continue.
If you leave them in friend purgatory, then you don't have to deal with a duplicate request later.
It's kind of genius, really.
I can't believe I never thought of that. I just friend anybody I know and then block them.
I know I just totally stole the idea of friend purgatory and put it on my blog so I would seem clever. Does that make me a bad person? I don't think so. I think it's more like a public service announcement.
And, btw, this friend's husband? I don't know him, but I might just friend request him so that his friend purgatory gets bigger......which leads to this question: how many purgatory friends does it take to make you an official snob?
I just counted and I have 25 "friends" in friend purgatory!
ReplyDeleteI think if you hit double digits, you are either a fb snob or you know a lot of creepy people.
