Thanks to [censored] for sharing this story
A friend of mine decides to create a Facebook account, in order to be able to stay in touch with all his friends, associates and affiliates all over the world. However, he has no idea which ones of his friends have already created accounts, so he decides to leave this task for later. The first one that finds him is an ex-girlfriend of him, one that has not called him since they broke up.
When he decides to accept her friendship offer, a friend detail dialog box pops up, asking from where he knew this girl. He does not know that answering this question is not obligatory. After a brief consideration about who actually collects this data, he decides to go for it and clicks "We dated". The engine asks how it was. Answer is "Nice and sweet". The last question is "What now?" He explains they have remained friends. The interrogation is over and he sends the friend detail request.
Several days later he receives her answer. According to her they are more in a "Not talking to each other" than a "Still friends" kind of situation. To clarify this confusion, they actually start talking. And are having nice conversations to the point she asks him out on a concert. He accepts.
At the same time, another friend of his uses the "X Me" application. The action he performs is... well, it is hard to explain it in English. Apparently, in their mother tongue they have a word that, according to context, can substitute almost every word in a sentence in case the person speaking does not remember it. Something like "you know", I guess. And without the context it becomes an euphemism for intercourse, or so I gathered from his explanations. So this other guy youknows our hero. And my friend decides to youknow back. However, instead of youknowing this single friend, he youknows everybody in his friend list, including this ex-girlfriend.
Her reaction is unknown, but my friend never received confirmation for that concert.
Facebook - disconnecting people.
