I feel ya on that one OP. a complete asshole to me in high school just tried adding me on Facebook too. I asked him why. He didn't reply. So I just declined and blocked him. **** people who made your life miserable in high school.

Well I hope you told her why to her face. The real world can suck for people like that. She deserved it.

What happened afterwards? Did you end up talking to her after she gasped?

She either wants to patch things up or wants a thousand friends. I want to know what happened afterwards.

If she was mean to you, I understand why you don't want to be her friend, and you probably didn't notice her sitting across from you. If I'd known that, I wouldn't have clicked YDI (I often click before reading the comments--sorry). I had a similar situation some months ago--a woman I knew in private school over 30 years ago sent a friend request, and I deleted it because she was pretty cruel to me. Luckily I was in private when I saw and dispatched the request.

I know how that feels OP. Someone who treated me like shit in middle school (I'm in high school now) is constantly trying to add me on Facebook. No matter how many times I reject it she sends me another one.

should've told her, "oh well."

Read the replies to #91.

There are some people out there that go through people's entire friends list to add people from school. I know one or two of them. If you weren't friends then, why would you want to be now?

From personal experience, I see no problem with what you did. For one, you were just speaking your mind. I had a similar situation after I had finished my Bachelour's degree. There was this terrible woman who bullied me throughout junior high and high school who randomly added me to Facebook one day, and I ignored it. She later got hold of my home phone number and called me. Why? She wanted a reference to help get a job with the company I was working for. Yeah, don't think so... I don't understand why people are getting so pissed off. Nobody is required to accept Facebook invites, especially from people we don't like!

Honest mistake, I mean who expects to have the same doctor with the high school bitch?

Agreed,after hearing why you said that I now regret voting YDI.

You SO should have given her that reference, directly to HR so that she didn't get to read it. "Jane Doe bullied me through high school, then asked me for a reference as I work for the company. I have no idea what she would be like as an employee".

They actually screwed.

I agree with #176, I would have clicked otherwise if I'd known too. You shouldn't feel bad about it if she was like that. You should have just called it out instead.

Yes! Thank you! @200

It seems to me that she wanted a whole bunch of Facebook friends.

I'm not asking for pity, but thank you for your horribly rude and inaccurate statement :)

If that's the case that picture of the cat is hideous

There is a huge difference between brutal honesty and unnecessary rudeness... Not wanting to be facebook friends with someone who treated you badly in high school is in no way rude, and not wanting to be facebook friends with anyone period is certainly not antisocial. Only in this day and age could somebody accuse you of being antisocial for rejecting an INTERNET 'friend request'! How painfully, idiotically ironic.

#138, are you and your boyfriend the same person?

If we're going to be brutally honest, you're a ******* dumbass for taking something so clear cut as out-of-context as you did. I have no pity for you.

Not sure how this has anything to do with "brutal honesty"

OP didn't want to be her friend, so no, why care if she got offended by that? It's not offensive to not want to be someone's friend. This has absolutely nothing to do with honesty, especially considering OP was being honest.

You're*

Well she's 12, I mean what do you expect.

She's not even old enough to have Facebook.

Definitely not old enough to be on a site like FML. Excuse me small child, where are your parents?
