Ah, facebook
Yup, it's bound to happen that some people you don't really remember/care for/like will try to add you. My usual response to this is either throw them a bone in the shape of my limited profile or, if I really couldn't care less, just reject them and forget about it.

One day, some guy I shared a dorm with at school tried to add me. When he was at school he was a bit of a dick to me. The tubby little fucker would try playing pathetic mind-games with me by threatening to spread rumours and vandalasing my stuff every now and again. Didn't help that he was a stuck-up little shit who delighted in telling us about his millionaire relatives and really looked down on the Scots which obviously wound me up.

Anyway, so this boy tries to add me. It's been about 10 years since he left school so I've had time to calm down. I simply thought to myself that as we weren't exactly friends at school I'd better reject him despite the fact that I well know that everyone is a dick to someone when they're at school and that people tend to change and get wise when they hit the real world. So I clicked reject and forgot about it.

My older brother however does not believe in mankind's ability to change and is to grudges what Dover is to cross-channel ferries. About a week later I got a message from him telling me that this 'batty man' had tried to add him too and with great pride told me he had sent the following 'pretty restrained' message:

"What are you playing at you gypo! After bullying my wee brother and busting up my CD player (don't think like I've forgotten Pussyole! (sic)) you expect me to add you to my friends list. You're a dumbass fatherfucker and I'm going to break your face next time I see you in Manchester. My whole clan has put a jihad on you so, act like you know and fuck right off!"

Yup. His whole clan has put a jihad on him. For fuck's sake! Also, I'd hardly have called it bullying but that's neither here nor there. Needless to say I felt so embarrassed I had to send one myself to apologise.

Length? Just a few lines about water under the bridge and all that.

Yeah.
I know. It's a bit much to ask for isn't it!
