Paid Members chokeout Posted October 1, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted October 1, 2013 Anyone using the defense 'Better safe then sorry lol' when reposting this, or any other shit on Facebook shouldn't be allowed the internet or, at the very least, have their homepage set to Snopes.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted October 1, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted October 1, 2013 I have/had numerous twats on my FB who would post this shit, and when taken through Snopes explanations, countered with "Well I know it's true". I've kept one because he's a mate, just gullible, but all the fools that I went to school with who do this are sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I'm pretty sure the end of HarmGen's story would be "After that, I returned to the depot, where I was promptly fired for not returning calls or collecting passengers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Mike Castle Posted October 1, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted October 1, 2013 Since this was going to be my last ride of my shift  I didn't pick up any more passengers that shift. No shit? After the last passenger he didn't pick up any more? Even the idiot that wrote it gave up paying it any attention by the end.  I have/had numerous twats on my FB who would post this shit, and when taken through Snopes explanations, countered with "Well I know it's true". I've kept one because he's a mate, just gullible, but all the fools that I went to school with who do this are sacked. I'm the same, but one of them I'm studying at Uni with, so I'm rather stuck talking to her at least for the next two years as it's likely I'll end up doing group work of some kind with her. She even tried saying that Snopes wasn't a newspaper, and therefore wasn't a legitimate source. Yet was happy to believe that her mate who just copied a status off another mate can't be wrong.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted October 2, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) What about adding Facebook people who bullied you at school? Would you add them? I'm thinking yes, but I love making them wait a bit (six months). Edited October 2, 2013 by bAzTNM#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Up Chuck Posted October 2, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted October 2, 2013 I ignore all friend requests I don't want until whenever I remember to refuse them en masse. And as for bullies from school, not a chance. Adult life is for getting shot of those idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking yes, but I love making them wait a bit (six months). Â Oh dear, bAz Hate to tell you that you've probably just popped up on their recommendations, and they've gone "oh I remember that guy - add". They won't notice that you've "left them hanging". Probably completely unaware that you considered them a bully tbh.. Â Â I ignore all friend requests I don't want until whenever I remember to refuse them en masse. And as for bullies from school, not a chance. Adult life is for getting shot of those idiots. Â Everyone can be a bit of a knob when they're a kid. People change / second chances and all that.. I'm interested to know what people are up to. It's just interesting how people turn out. Obviously I guess it kinda depends on how badly you didn't get on with them. But I'd still be curious, regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Up Chuck Posted October 2, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted October 2, 2013 Fair enough. I'm talking about people who genuinely made my life utterly miserable for ages. I was a prime target due to Asperger's imparting my social skills and giving me a posh voice, so I got it pretty bad for ages. I don't hold any grudges or anything, but I just have absolutely no interest in how those people are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted October 2, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted October 2, 2013 I like to add them, and then drop them slightly afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted October 2, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted October 2, 2013 I've not had any from anyone I'd consider a bully, but I have had the occasional request from people I didn't get on with. Â I've had no contact with them for the best part of 20 years, and no pleasant contact beforehand, so I'm not going to start now. It's not a matter of baring grudges, it's just that I don't see the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Rather than adding people, I think culling is the way forward. There's only really maybe 20 people I'm actually interested in seeing updates from, and they get drowned in amongst the people who post 10-20 times a day. Just finding out what my closest friends are up to on Facebook is hard enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Freebird Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) I used to ignore requests, rather than refuse them. Somehow though, people can still see some of your posts if they have been left hanging (or they could, I don't know if there are settings to avoid it now). I had a network of spies for ex girlfriends viewing my account through this technique until I learned that if you don't want them, fucking bin the request straight away.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted October 3, 2013 Moderators Share Posted October 3, 2013 I've hidden the posts of so many people on my feed I may as well just be reading the "I fucking love science" page and not bother with facebook.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â On some days, my Facebook feed goes - Houchen, Houchen, ButchReedMark, Houchen, ButchReedMark, ButchReedMark, my mate Dan. I love you both dearly, but I see you guys on here too! Â Â Does anyone know how to get Facebook to show you "Most Recent" by default, rather than sorting "Top Stories" whatever the hell that means? I have to change that every time I open Facebook, it's really annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
