Weird Friend Requests


Facebook has welcomed me with open arms to the people of the world. I get to interact with all kinds of people all over the world, and sometimes meet new people with whom I share a interest. But it is so very sad, that the kind of people whom I come across are the weirdos. If I go looking for one, I might end up finding 86,000 or however many my Face book search is capable of searching in one go.
The lame friend requests that we all get from people whom we barely even know, or thank my lucky stars, have not had the opportunity to even meet are numerous. Then there are those who just randomly add people, thinking that maybe they'll get lucky and the person will add them back. Their personal message would go something like this, 'I don't know you, but would you like to be friends?' The particularly funny and desi ones just have the famous phrase, 'Would do FRANDSHIP with me?'.
Another group of weirdos that have recently cropped up are those who pretend they know us, and have fallen irrevocably in love. They have looked near and far, and finally their search has found it's fruit. All this is usually described in about 150-200, written in flawless and flowery language. The first time I got such a request, I was dumb-founded, because that guy claimed to have seen me in a wedding. Then a few days later, another friend request came, with the same exact message. My response was to stare at my computer screen and roll my eyes, and mumble, "Dumb ass".
The worst friend requests according to me are those who don't even put up their own pictures as their display. It seems as if a flower or a heart has tried to be my friend. Immediately that flower/heart is blocked. Or those people, who put up Bollywood actors or actresses photos as their displays. I mean, I'm not that dumb that I would believe that Salman Khan or Shahid Kapoor has added me, lucky me!
Sometimes, I am forced to come to the conclusion that people don't bother to use their minds, or even pre-plan anything. I mean, just take a minute and then stalk that person. Maybe your stalker fetish will bear fruit. Who knows? It's all about luck. You might come across a dumb blond who just might believe you and your deliberate lies.
