Someone just sent "me" a friend request.

I don't understand when people have 500+ friends and then have their phone numbers, addresses, resume, etc on their profile. Call me paranoid but I just don't want all my personal info out there.

One of my buddies has over 1000 "friends" on Facebook. He's a popular guy but at over 1000 you have to wonder how many he really knows.

Makes me wonder how people even get that many friends. I mean do they walk around handing out their facebook business cards??

The only people I haven't met on my friends list are just some of you CF/TWF people and even they are people I have an online relationship with.

I see it dumb but you also have to see it as just saying Hi or waving at a stranger while walking down the street. Ya, there are people on there that are just going for a higher number but I also see it as politeness. Why not say Hi to someone you dont know? Are you wanting people to not communicate with you? Plus, its a lot easier to be friend or de-friend someone you don't know. Especially if you never have to see them in person.

You can always be like Kept Jordy the third grader.

Same here with the exception of a few of your guys on here, but I hope that at some point or another I will meet you IRL.

Yes, but this is cracking me up.... I expected people to randomly add and say yes. But, I didn't expect people to request to add me [2 so far] and comments of "How long has it been??"

Me: "Hey, YOU! It seems like forever!"

"On Facebook" has replaced "In Bed" in fortune cookies.

"She thinks you're a great guy" , (On Facebook)

"You will have a wonderful life", (On Facebook)

"You have many friends", (On Facebook)
