A friend of mine said she got a new request from an old friend &amp; when they exchanged a few msgs back &amp; forth this person was clearly NOT her actual friend, given the way this person responded to some of her questions/comments. So, not to scare you, but it's possible they aren't the people you think they are. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-facebook-friend-requests#post-2066458 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 12:43:14 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2066458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: glad I'm not the only one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-facebook-friend-requests#post-2066457 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 12:42:11 +0000 twodoghouse 2066457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: Ok, I have experienced the "so and so accepted your friend request" thing twice recently!! I didn't even know who one person was (she goes to my sister's church but I've never met her!) and the other person I have met before but she's a friend of my cousin's. The only thing I could imagine is that I was somehow sleep-facebooking while I was up nursing MOTN. I really hope Facebook is doing this and I'm not doing mysterious Facebook stalking in my sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-facebook-friend-requests#post-2066440 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 12:38:06 +0000 BSB 2066440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: Yeah, it is weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-facebook-friend-requests#post-2066317 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 12:03:24 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2066317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: nope. Not that I know of! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-facebook-friend-requests#post-2066314 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 12:02:43 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2066314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: oh that is weird...pregnancy fans? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-facebook-friend-requests#post-2066313 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 12:02:37 +0000 JoJoGirl 2066313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Facebook trolls your email for addresses and then may put up a "people you may know" notification... have you ever gotten emails from these people, even cc'd? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-facebook-friend-requests#post-2066311 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 12:01:34 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2066311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: ppl must think I'm really cool from that video! Lol. Maybe. It's still weird though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-facebook-friend-requests#post-2066305 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 12:00:48 +0000 Shutterbug 2066305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: is your profile pic of your belly or anything? Maybe they found out you're pregnant and they're being nosy. It happened to my BFF when she announced her pregnancy... a bunch of randos came out of the woodwork.</p> <p>Sidenote - I just listened to a podcast about Facebook and their experiments on users - it was pretty interesting! <a href="http://www.radiolab.org/story/trust-engineers/" rel="nofollow">http://www.radiolab.org/story/trust-engineers/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-facebook-friend-requests#post-2066301 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 11:59:40 +0000 BSB 2066301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: Since I'm friends with you, could it be the video you just posted and they might have seen you post it through a mutual friend and now that they saw the video, they now want to be friends with you. If the video is public, others (friends of friends) might be able to view it. </p> <p>Also, I know FB has that 'Friends you might know' or something similar on the side bar or something. I've noticed it's mutual friends or random people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-facebook-friend-requests#post-2066271 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 11:53:56 +0000 Mommy Finger 2066271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a request from someone with the exact same name. . . well, as my maiden name. Not something I'm interested in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-facebook-friend-requests#post-2066270 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 11:52:39 +0000 .twist. 2066270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's cousins, girlfriends, kid sent me a FR. Why? I see her at the occasional family function, but I don't even think we've talked? I haven't accepted it yet.... </p> <p>Otherwise, not too many! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-facebook-friend-requests#post-2066225 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 11:39:10 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2066225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone else been getting really odd FB friend requests lately? Like, the brother of a girl I'm friends w/ (on there) who I only know through DH and vaguely in college. I never met her brother. </p> <p>And the friend of a married couple from college. I have no idea who this lady is. </p> <p>Friend of another married couple who I never met. </p> <p>Old lady friend of my friend and her dad. No idea who this lady is. </p> <p>Most of these have happened within the last few days!</p> <p>Anyone else? I think FB is sending out these requests on their own or something. A few months ago, I got a notice that "so and so" accepted my friend request, and I had not sent her one! It was the sister of one of DH's friends. </p>
