Most people by now have received a facebook friend request from someone they have never met. After looking at their profile, they probably wish they’ll never meet them in the future. My solution is just to post a random picture on their wall. For example, for Ruth Carter, who by now has probably friended half of Columbia University, I sent her a photo of a hedgehog playing with a Playskool dumptruck.

I wasn’t sure whether to believe you or not, but I was pleased to find an actual picture of a hedgehog with a huge grin next to a Playskool dumptruck on her profile (no, I’m not her friend, but her profile is open to everyone in the Columbia network at least). It actually made me laugh in my office in my lab. I might have to try this myself sometime
.
I’ve never understood the friend fiends on Facebook–people who will try to add me as a friend after, say, emailing me once randomly about work stuff, hearing about me from their friend I’m not very good friends with, or ignoring me throughout years of high school but suddenly noticing that I have a Facebook page they want to check out. The worst thing is that you get updates about all their stuff you don’t care about. That’s why I comb through my friends list every now and then and delete people who shouldn’t have friended me in the first place. And some people have 1000+ “friends”–who they want to friend on Facebook is up to them I guess, but in most circumstances I find them to be friend whores (there are some super-outgoing people who actually do know that many people though).
