Rudeness - rejecting friend requests

Sort:
FN_Perfect_Idiot

I don't think I'm being silly in saying this but I felt I just had to say something because lately, mentioning no names, about 5 people within the last week have all rejected me to be their friend - without good reason or otherwise. How can people be so stuckup?

Ok so its not against any rule *technically* speaking but I just find it quite rude that people don't give a reason. The same with my group that nobody wants to join (like they actually have something better to do).

I don't just add random people as friends I add people that I had close games with so I can find people that either I can learn off or either will provide close competition.

really dude they rejected your friend request and you think they are rude because thay gave you no reason.....seriously now...

Did you send a nice, thoughtful message saying why you want to be friends? If so, then they should at least reply in kind when rejecting a request, or they are being rude. While you can't force the internet to be as polite as you want, you are certainly correct.

If they are rude, then you should be happy you found out and are not their friendSmile

From another thread i recall reading today, it seems like that person gave good reason for rejecting your offer.

Its the people like you that annoy me. Stop trying to derail the thread and start a flamewar.

Your picture is pretty scary...

Women get a lot of random friend requests from unknown people. IMO, it isn't necessary to offer an explanation in such cases.

Could your screen name be part of the problem? Most people aren't enthusiastic about being friends with an idiot, even (especially) if they're a perfect idiot

Oh yeah. Like anyone wants to be friends with a Pelican. They can't even talk.

I've never accepted a friend request and I'm not by nature a rude person.

However, they can seemingly type.

Try trimming the hair before sending the request.  Nice teeth, regardless.  Smile

How does one game of chess make you friends?

 

I know the definition is a rather loose one on the internet, but I also don't want random strangers on there.

Why do you have two first names? I can understand people named Bob James or John Anthony, but Chris Chris? Is that like New York, N.Y.?, the town so nice they named it twice? Or did your folks lack imagination?

It is perfectly legal to change your surname to your firstname. For example:
