You got some serious balls, Facebook.

I've got my eye on you, you uppity bastard.

Hahaha I hate that new feature...

The Alleged Ringleader said...

Dude I HATE this new feature!
I'm getting random friend requests from high school people and other people I choose NOT to be friends with! I'm cringing and shuddering when I see the faces of some of these peeps!

1218Blog said...

I know!! Who told them to do that. I had someone request my friendship who is a friend of mine who I really don't like. The nerve!

ToKissTheCook said...

Ditto to the other comments- I'm getting some really odd requests. And I'm saying No damnit.

scubachick1986 said...

That exact thing happened to me with my ex-boyfriend, whom I unfriended after a bitter breakup. But no...he pops up as a friend I might know. You think, facebook? fuckers...

Deutlich said...

DUDE! I FUCKING HATE THAT SECTION

There's a transsexual that keeps popping up who used to hit on me with his halitosis breath (from meds) because he thought he was a she and thereby thought he'd have a chance w/ME because I swing both ways

ew.

omg. did that make your head turn? i hope so. because mine was spinning.

blaaah

B2G said...

I am just waiting for this to happen to me.

cassette45 said...

I hate it. I mean, come on! If I want to stalk someone, I'll look em up myself. I hate the idea of me popping up on random people's pages.

Allie-gator said...

haha I'm waiting for this to happen to me too. :-/

but no worries I don't get on facebook much.

Chardsy said...

That is AWESOME. HAHAHA!

legallyheidi.com said...

i really really hate that section. All the people i may know? Are people i'd really like to punch in the face. thankfully no ex boyfriends, mostly because i'm friends with some and the others? I don't want to be. But yeh, really effing hate that.

logorrheic. said...

what? do you know her or something?

=PPPP

The Charming Hedonist said...

Wow. And that's another reason I effing hate facebook.

dater xtina said...

i noticed that new feature too. i actually noticed that someone who was once my friend on facebook, actually felt the need to delete me and is now showing up in the "Friends You May Know" section.

just jamie said...

So... I guess I have to go check this out because I have no freaking idea what you're talking about.

Do you so wish I would give it up and stop reading your blog?

Miss Belle said...

I saw the new feature, and I've been getting random friend requests but I hadn't put two and two together... I chose not to be friends from those fuckers from high school. Lucky my exs haven't shown up on there yet.

Katelin said...

haha yeah that new feature is so stalkerish, it kind of creeps me out.

Tin Ma'am said...

... i agree. i hate that fucking feature.

sequined said...

I don't have this feature and I don't understand. What's wrong with me?

ultimadea said...

I got the exact same thing about my ex last week!

Really, Facebook? I might know him? You think?

zoey said...

I get nervous when I think of whose facebook homepage I show up on. People from high school are probably surprised that I'm not emo anymore.

poodlegoose said...

Ooh, that sucks. I hate that feature too (along with everyone else), and having "friends" suggested to me that I don't even know. But it suggested my ex, too, so I think Facebook is just trying to be funny.

rachel elizabeth said...

facebook can be such an asshole sometimes. i am so NOT loving this new "feature" AT ALL. it's like, "HEY! GUESS HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU'VE LOST TOUCH WITH IN THE PAST 6 YEARS! No guesses? here! LET ME THROW IT IN YOUR FACE." what a douche.

rawbean said...

I said "see ya!" to facebook about three months ago. Haven't looked back since.

la ebria said...

haha, i heart facebook, although it has done a few things that have made me go "GAH!"...and apparently i'm a minority in thinking the new feature is genius

the other batman said...

No, shit. And, I have to look at it every time I log in because my ex is facebook friends with all my friends. It's terrible.

Heather said...

damn facebook is EVIL, i tell you.
PURE evil.

so why the hell can't i get off of it when i'm online?

-snickers-

Passionista said...

Hilarious. As much as I complain about Facebook though, I'm really sad my job blocked it!

blackdog said...

wait a sec - I do Facebook because its nothing like MySpace, and now that's changing? I'll check it out, but I might get pissed too. You can be my 'canary in a coal mine' for many things, but I didn't expect this one.

I'm still living vicariously through you, so more Hollywood parties and gratuitous sex, please....

Trixie Firecracker said...

Mark Zuckerberg is so going down!

Maxie said...

Don't cave and friend her. I friended my ex a while back and I wish I hadn't.

I don't like knowing that he could spy on me if he wanted.

Douchegirl said...

I don't really mind the new feature. I think it's ok, but that may change as soon as an ex is suggested to me.

Michelle & the City said...

i HATE that new feature with a passion! thanks facebook for showing me all of my exes and people from high school that i never wanted to see again!

the nerve.

Coconut said...

Don't friend her, I friended my ex and now he doesn't leave me alone. And it's too tempting not to stalk him.

Valerie said...

Facebook is EVIL on so many levels.

Yet I can't help but be oddly drawn to it.

CageQueen said...

Word.

Nico said...

This is totally prime for an XKCD comic.

But I guess it's funnier as words.

Jaime said...

The same thing happened to me and my EX and i almost had a heart attack.

Ew Facebook... EW

irunwithscissors said...

hahaha!!! I freakin hate that thing....

i like cheese said...

hahaha. my freakin ex boyfriend pops up at least once a day on that feature, and it makes me want to hurl my comp into a deep, dank, dark lake.

Kolibri said...

Yup. I detest facebook. Hence why I have deleted mine. Twice.

They do beat myspace with the photo sharing, though.

Grrrr.

LoveHate relationship.

sequined said...

Oooh I just got some friend suggestions! But I didn't know the people, so it wasn't thrilling. Sad day.

Kali said...

Haven't seen that feature yet...

Thank God.

Brainiac Chick said...

I love that new feature. I have a lot of people who are connected to other people and since I haven't seen a lot of people in a while, this is a great way to find others. Love it.

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater said...

I love that feature! That's how I get all my "friends."

Would if it said, "You may have slept with this person . . . ?"

Kali said...

Okay I have searched and to the best of my knowledge this thrilling new feature hasn't shown up on Irish facebook yet.

Luck of the irish!

Caitlyn said...

Grrr, mine did that too! You might know... PETE. You share 67 friends.
Damned feature.

Therapeutic Ramblings said...

LinkedIn does that too.....I wonder if that is where they got the idea from.

Dahlia said...

thanks for your comment on my blog today...but the actress is not Meg Ryan...hehe, it's Romola Garai :P

Dolce said...

Who ever created the new feature should get kicked in the chin, but I'm a little surprised she's not a friend of yours on facebook.

I would have thought calling a guy up on the phone and crying about her mom would be "friend" material. I guess that's the difference between being friends and being friendly.

Are exes ever really friends?

A. Rose said...

I know!! The worst part is that it keeps reminding people whom I've unfriended that I'm no longer their friend!! WTF?! I just can't win!

Kolibri said...

did this Lynn manage to become your facebook friend... and then stalk you... and eat you? because i want an update.

haha.

Susie said...

Ugh! Facebook did the same thing with me for my ex. Oh really, I might know him?!?! Yeah, a little too well!

lizziebelle said...

that same shit happened to me with my ex-fiancee!! soooo redic!
