Some background info: In December of '09 he sent me a friend request, not sure why since I deleted him about a month after The End. After I called him out/rejected his request, I found myself unable to view his profile and he didn't show up in any searches. The asshat blocked me! Last I checked a few months ago, he didn't exist. Yes, I still checked, but don't yell at me just yet (coughJaime/Amandacough).
Back to the almost present of last week...
I often have to use the restroom in the middle of the night, I drink A LOT of water, and will check my phone to stop the flashing green notification light from keeping me up. Among the emails was a message from Facebook: Douchebag Magee would like to be friends. I immediately forward to the super close girl friends who got me through the hard times with the message "What the eff??" and go back to sleep (the bastard no longer has the power to keep me up at night).
The following morning I log on to Facebook and hide the request (where did the option to reject go btw?). Hell no, I didn't want to be friends with him! I'm one of those with zero desire to be friends with an ex who turned me in to THAT girl (my own fault really). Nor does he have any right to know what's going on in my life. A few hours later I get a Facebook email with the subject of Sorry.
Sorry Amanda, I didn't mean to send a friends request. Apologies.

Ummm, what? How do you accidentally send a friend request to someone you had blocked? He works for a huge tech company, that kind of thing doesn't just happen. Also, the request is still there. Did I reply to his message? Nope. Did I delete? Sure did!
Sorry guy, but you no longer exist to me as anything other than a lesson learned!

ohmygod. seriously? he didn't mean to send you a friend request? what. a. loser.
What a tool!
Ew. I'm glad you deleted everything and didn't get involved. I'm definitely not one of those people who can be friends (facebook or real life) with ex-boyfriends. Pretty much at all especially if there was any sort of drama or they got married to one of my college friends.
Douchebag? Yes. What a moron. Kinda glad you two didn't work out......he wouldn't have been good for you anyway.
And I'm with you on the "hide" the friend request instead of just denying. What happened to the good ol' Delete? :-)
Good for you! It takes a long time to get over Douchebags unfortunately.
Delete, delete, delete!
Well he clearly DID mean to send you that request. The only thing I can think of is that he was trying to "find friends" through an email client (like gmail) and it sent to everyone. I honestly can't believe that he would do all that to you and then block you...I mean the first time. I'm still pondering that one.
GLAD that he can't keep you up at night!! And it's hard to blame a person for doing some FB stalking. I am super glad that we didn't have that when I was in college or it would have made me crazy.
what a fucktard!! and a liar.
you cannot accidentally send someone a friend request. he probably realized he was going to get rejected hence his follow up message.
good for you for ignoring him!
If I felt comfortable enough I would use the “f” word about right now. SOFA-KING RETARD (was that okay)? Accident, my ass! I’m proud you are moving forward and did not respond to him. Stay strong girl! You are better than WHATEVER he put you though…or might be wanting to keep putting you through.
What a freaking idiot. That just irritates me. Because you DON'T do something like that on accident. So, what was his friggin point??? Ugh!
Let's slam this asshole. The person. Not the asshole.
I'm with JG.
What an asshat.
Yuck! I actually had THE ex friend me back in the MySpace days and then it followed over onto facebook. He started getting all creep and asking me about going out for coffee and stuff and saying how he missed me and I was like, uh does your wife know you are even talking to me? Well shortly after he got divorced and disappeared from FB entirely. Now I see he is back on FB and has not friend requested me. I am good with that. He is an EX for a reason.
You know DB Magee just wanted to pop back in as to say...hey I am still here. I hate when guys do that!
In case you ever confused me for a Mensa-candidate, I actually said to myself "Hutch has a friend named Douchebag Magee? Awesome!" <I've decided to go in for another round of coffee. WOOOOO!!
Wow. What an asshat this guy is. Consider yourself SO VERY LUCKY to be rid of that plague from your life.
I agree with Random Bloggette--he clearly was motivated to do this because he wanted to leave his mark in your life again. Don't give him the satisfaction (though I clearly don't need to tell you this since you handled this well on your own). Good for you, girl :)
Good for you and your liberal use of the Delete button!
So not worth it.
Total douchebag! You don't accidentally send a friend request. Jerk.
I like your new look, btw.
That's the No. 1 reason why Fb is evil -- it's too dang easy to check up on exes. Unless they block you, that stupidhead pic is still there.
And this is why FB is dumb. It creates drama.
BRAVO!!! I agree! What an asshat! It sounds like to me that he was thinking of you, wanted to see your life, requested to add you and realized that you weren't going to add him back so to save face he sent you that lame ass message! I say BLOCK HIM!
You don't accidentally send someone a friend request on FB. He did it on purpose to see what you'd do. And when you didn't friend him, he sent that message. What an asshat!
Doh! OMG! I about shit when I read that! He's definitely best left in the past!
I can't believe he sent you an email that said "I didn't mean to friend request you". HA! Liar Liar pants on fire!
what an asshat. he probably did want to friend you, but realized it was an idiot thing to do so sent that lame message
and WHAT?! i need my reject button
