People who are friends with you on Facebook, but get all shy around you in the real world.
Loud and opinionated online. Shy and socially awkward offline.
Just a quick one, this has been bothering me for a while, and it’s happened on more than one occasion now.
So I’m friends with quite a few randoms on Facebook. Besides you of course. You are the exception, I’m really fond of you.
Everyone else is a bit random though.
Now look, I’m pretty shit at remembering names and faces. When you add in the fact that I also never greet someone first, I’m happy to put my hand up and concede that I am socially inept.
However, if I DO happen to recognise someone’s face, I know their name, and I’m even willing to greet first (Not a massive greeting, but a gentle nod of the head – that’s pretty huge, coming from someone like me) I would of course expect that they would reciprocate my greeting and bask in the knowledge that I have acknowledged their presence.
But no, instead she quickly dropped her gaze to the floor, and then as she approached me turned her head 180 degrees to look at something which had apparently caught her interest.
180 degrees.
Like a f**king owl.
I’m sorry owl lady, but as I recall, YOU were the one who sent me the Facebook request in the first place. So it’s not like you don’t know who I am.
We were at Woolies, what could have possibly been so interesting that you risked snapping your neck to avoid looking at me?
The potatoes?
The green peppers?
Granted, they were on special, but come on.
Just… weird.
Anyone else ever experience that?

Yes, this has happened to me.
Also, what has happened is that a facebook friend walks past me and stares at me, but doesnt greet me. When I finally greet them, they seem quite surprised….as if they werent just staring me down for the past half a minute… :|
That was an unbelievable deal on green peppers though. Saw many a Woolies shopper do a double-take
Expect random things from ‘randoms’…
I limit my facebook friends to people who are allowed in my personal space and who have a voucher to hug me [about 60 fb friends).
You are super cute just the way you are, by the way.
Shaun, listen, just don’t trust Isolde. He is a heartless b@stard who limits friends as if they were clamoring to be accepted.
Trust me, I have a friend who tried to add Isolde, a measly few times. Just saying.
