I’ve never quite understood why people from your past that you never really got along with decide one day to add you as a friend on Facebook. If you never got along with them before why would you want to talk to them years later?
Question of the day… Who’s the weirdest person to add you as a friend on Facebook, MySpace etc…? Old teacher, parent of a friend, local crazy guy? Let me know.
My name is Bryan Hauer and I was born on January 11, 1976 in St. Paul, MN. Although my friends liked to kid me about it I am no relation as far as I know to the actor Rutger Hauer.
I grew up mostly in Minnesota and Wisconsin as I attended grade school in St. Paul, MN and junior high and high school in Racine, WI. After graduating high school I then went on to attend college in LaCrosse, WI.
Although I was born in Minnesota and lived there and Wisconsin most of my younger years, I've also lived in quite a few other states. 
I guess I’m just a “dick” too! I just “IGNORE”–then they’ve come back a 2nd, sometimes 3rd time – so more of the same……”IGNORE” !!! Then asks other people who we share on FB why—-DUH! Shut the hell up right? Wierdest? hmmmm…..Probably (Prolly) my mother!!! She’s on FB more than I- tells me what’s going on with everyone. Funny as hell.
Haha! Ya my mom followed me on Twitter a few weeks back. I felt I had no choice but to resort to a phone call to explain to her I didn’t want her seeing “everything” I was doing. She still thinks I’m somewhat of an angel and I can’t screw that up.
Yeah. good question. I hit ignore or i dont respond. It’s weird, i have that as well.
Plus what i don;t understand is WHY random people you don’t know and people u just met, and who don’t really call you or respond to your calls add you on facebook especially when they don’t talk to u much?
i stumbled across this by typing into google “what do you do when you go to a party with people there you don’t get along with”. just to see what would pop up. i am dwelling on this and i feel really nervous about it. i was recently invited to a baby shower of an old friend from a church i went to a long time ago. we all grew up together and everyone she’s invited, i know. anyway, there is one girl that i am sure will be there. her and i have a huge history of ups and downs. we were best friends at one point growing up. but when i think back on it all, she was never a real friend. and i am not just saying that out of spite. there was a lot of jealousy on her part and i don’t understand why. we were friends on myspace and would talk once in a great while. typically when something was going good for her and she wanted to show off. i can read people like a book and it all got to be so pathetic and childish. her posting pics of herself to copy me and saying things in her status that were implied towards me. i ended up deleting my account. just wanted to move away from it all. went to fb and learned that it was much better. well, she’s made a few attempts to request my friendship on there. i just hit ignore. but being the nice person that i am and how i was raised, i actually feel bad about it. she probably wonders why i won’t accept. she hasn’t messaged me, YET, but i don’t plan to respond if she does. or should i? i just know that she only wants to keep tabs on me. it’s always been that way. it’s just a really really really LONG story. lots of things to do with our past.. and i just want to move on. but i feel like i can’t do that because we are ALWAYS coming back into each other’s lives one way or another. but i honestly feel bad for feeling this way. but she’s never brought anything positive to the friendship. i just don’t know what to do about this shower though. i don’t want to NOT go just because of her. but i also don’t want to talk to her. or be fake. because i know that if she tried talking to me i would just get sucked right back in to talking to her and then end up adding her on fb. and that would start up all that drama again. if you have any advice, it would be greatly appreciated. i know this sounds like a load of high school drama.. and that’s just what it is.. but i am trying to be the smart one here.. and move on with MY life.. without her. but nicely. i don’t want to cherish any hard feelings.. or end things badly..
I think a lot of this falls into the saying… “Keep your friends close, but your enemies even closer.”
@Audrey – Go to the baby shower, but just stay clear from the problem friend and by no means add her again cause yes it will just stir up the same drama.
Life’s already tough enough as it is and lot more fun when you’re not constantly worrying about other people’s drama.
I guess I’m on the other end of that coin because when I find people on Facebook I knew from way back,some even an influence on me,don’t even respond when I send them a message! I guess that shows how they really feel huh^ It’s like what did I do so effen wrong?
I’m on facebook and myspace.I like myspace better but I had one friend who wanted to chat on facebook so I got an account. I had already learned through myspace that people that barely knew me would decide they wanted to catch up. So I set up my myspace so that it’s hard for people to find me and left my facebook open for all the strange people that would feel the need to speak to me. Lately I’ve had a lot of hits from people I went to school with, one of which I didn’t even know exsisted. I checked my yearbook couldn’t find him and sat there wondering how in the world he knew who I was. The weridest request I ever had and the only person I’ve denied as of now was a high school substitute teacher who just happens to be one of the few that I couldn’t stand. I’m still uncertain how she seemed to miss the fact that I prefered not to be in the same room as her.
The strangest add was a request from a girl who claimed to be a celebrity. She added me, got to know me, faked her own dead after admitting she was a fake, and then accused one of our good friends at the time for stealing her pictures when he put a photo of her under his “Friends” album. She still to this day hates me because she thinks I stole her photos. I don’t know why she added me, really.
