Unfriended on Facebook

Have you ever removed someone (or someone unfriended you), and then you bump into that person in real life? Any stories to tell? Happened to me today. Guy pretended he didn't know what I was talking about.

Song reminds me of many nights in Ko Phi Phi... how I miss my SE Asia days.

"Yes. Money has been a little bit tight lately, but at the end of my life, when I'm sitting on my yacht, am I gonna be thinking about how much money I have? No. I'm gonna be thinking about how many friends I have and my children and my comedy albums."
 

I've been unfriended by something like 150 people almost always because they disagreed with something I said. I went to a hyper left wing high school so about 130 of those people are high school classmates I never see or talk to. The other 20 or so have unfriended me for various reasons, almost always because they disagree with me politically, and they run the gamut from liberal to libertarian. I've been on facebook for 8 1/2 years. Have not run into one of them in 8 1/2 years that has unfriended me.

I've unfriended something like 200 people, mostly because they were people I didn't know. I've unfriended my entire extended family since we don't get along. It was awkward even more so afterward...

Pretty much everyone left on my friends list of about 335 people is part of my legitimate network of friends, family and friendly partisans.

What you should do is keep friending them again until they accept, and once they do, proceed to unfriend them.

Childish mind games are the best way to live life.

In other news, the first thing that pops into my head when I found out someone unfriended me on facebook: kys.

In all seriousness though...facebook sucks. A lot.

why keep using it then?

I don't actively use it, but I also don't think deactivating my account is the best move just yet. I think it still has some utility greater than zero, albeit not by much.

 

Sure. Most of the people I've unfriended didn't know it and I didn't realize til later I'd unfriended. I like to keep that shit clean.

There was one instance where a female acquaintance called me out. I asked her if she was 12. She laughed.

I recently missed (purposely) a friends wedding and was unfriended. We live about 5 miles apart. That run-in is gonna be awk-waaaaaaarrdd haha can't wait.

I used to unfriend people all the time. Now I just hide all their posts. Someone has to go above and beyond to get unfriended now.

Facebook does suck though. But I'll keep it for the time being.

I never unfriended anyone, and I am unsure whether I have ever been unfriended. I wouldn't notice anyway I think ...

I'm talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred million dollars, buddy. A player. Or nothing. See my Blog & AMA
 

I unfriended a bunch of people and then deactivated it because all I did was talk shit to people on various pages. Namely CNN and CNBC.

"Mr. Perkins poses an extreme risk to the market when drunk."
 

I didn't know people were still on Facebook?

Honestly though, got rid of mine about a year ago and am very happy I did. Friends keep telling me I should get back on and I can happily tell them "No fucking way".

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for freedom of thought which they seldom use.
 

Wouldn't know, don't care. I don't pay attention to how many friends I have or anything like that. Usually just use it for news via the news feed from liking pages.
