The Facebook Friend Request That Wouldn’t Leave
Everybody’s done it: Late at night, you’re checking out your best bud from high school’s friends list. You wax a bit nostalgic, and before you know it, you've sent out friend invites to one-half of your graduating class. Or you’re getting your business started up and you import contacts that you’re going to try to buy your new widget. Whatever the reason, once you've sent out that friend request, it’s out there … FOREVER. No, you’re not understanding how horrible this is.
