with an "omg thanks for the heads up"

am i missing something here?? why would a carjacker wait for you to get in your car and then trick you into getting back out? why not just jump out from behind the car as you're walking towards it?

- not a yoke!!

i presume it's because your keys are in the ignition or something btw

still seems overly complicated

this is like toothing, rite

Whenever any message of thik kind says "especially to women", it's a myth, and a very old one.

People who are obv ilxors with names I don't recognize keep friending me and I keep not accepting their requests because I can't ID them.

My facebook name is Ned Raggett

Thank you, thank you. Request denied.

Rev: the North Korea of Facebook

There appears to be some confusion.

We are all Ned Raggett

no joke the morning Facebook announced that you could get a custom URL, I tried to get facebook.com/nedraggett but dude had already beaten me to it

: )

ned wins the internet... again!

According to the Daily Mail, workers in Morocco and other countries are paid $1 an hour to moderate Facebook pages and remove any content that might violate its policies. When Facebook realized they had censored an elbow, they promptly reinstated the photo.

oh and I almost forgot

hahaha

LOL

I just got WARNED BY FB for friend-requesting ppl -- or A person, not sure -- that I don't actually know. I have friend-req'd many ilxors (a few multiple times, by mistake), so if it was you, dear reader, I apologize, and have cio as of now.

lol aww. I think it's maybe because you didn't send messages with the requests so maybe people were confused? I had four separate people ask me who you were a couple weeks ago.

That might be it -- I sent msgs with some req's but not all. In future I will be sure to do so every time.

Also sorry for the inconvenience, ENBB! :(

and ftr:

I AM OW-UHL MAN NEH NEH NEH NEH NEH NEH NEH NEH NEH

Oh, I didn't mind! I'm just saying. :)

Well after all that fuss I made ... due to ~life events~ and such, I'm taking a break from that particular of the net for a while (though I haven't deactivated and intend to return in the nearish future). Mein Gott, the infernal allure of the Book of Face.

that particular realm

Alfred became my friend earlier this week. I win the internet!

oh! now I know who you are, ctrl z. ;)

Hi, Roz! I'm sorry I didn't send you a message with my friend request. I really enjoyed your FB posts, too!

Again: *Terminator voice* I'LL BE BACK

ha it's ok, I figured you were prob an ilxor.

making my cover photo a picture of a castle -- figure people should see something aesthetically pleasing before coming to my wall to post funny videos, music, or to put the feelers out there for still being friends with me/no hard feelings about what happened.

That's nice.

friend of a friend's status update made me want to kick the screen in

"we are now in Sainsbury's, having failed to obtain a parking space at Waitrose"

(note for non-UK ilxor's, Sainsbury's is a middle-class supermarket, Waitrose is an upper-middle-class supermarket")

Note for non-UK ilxors: Waitrose doesn't have staff, but rather partners, who part-own the business and receive (often hefty) bonuses each year based on a share of the profits. Sainsbury's biggest shareholder is the Qatari royal family.

Waitrose staff are genuinely helpful. Once, after buying some prosecco to take to Carnival, I couldn't find plastic cups so one of the cashiers sloped off to their break room, returned with a dozen plastic cups from their water dispenser and just gave them to me with a 'have fun, wish I was going'.

idk what is so offensive about that post beyond the inanity of updating re parking space availability

I wouldn't say it was offensive, just annoying. The implication that they were only in Sainsbury's because they couldn't find a parking space in Waitrose. As if they would never ordinarily go there

but waitrose >>>>>> sainsbos

Some comic defined Sainsbury's as 'the supermarket that keeps the riff-raff out of Waitrose'.

Sounds like initial Facebook poster was navigating the shoppers' paradise known as Finchley Road, where the supermarkets under discussion are roughly two blocks apart.

quiddities and agonizing of navigating (the carparks of) British groceries

Waitrose didn't have orzo but one of the staff told me where he buys it from
