Over the weekend I had the strangest encounter with someone on Facebook. A girl who I’ll just call “F” added me as a friend and I accepted thinking I knew her because we had a lot of friends in common. But, after flipping through her photos I realized we had never met so I unfriended her. She didn’t take that very well and sadly, this isn’t the first time where my none offensive or aggressive actions were misunderstood. I don’t know what it is about me but it’s really weird how I tend to piss people off pretty frequently without even trying, check out the conversation below:
(Warning: May contain drama)
F: I recall adding you. and i recall an accept but thank you for the unfriendship
Mark: hey, just saw this message, sorry i accepted your friend request thinking we had met before but when i realized we hadn’t i unfriended.
F: sure no worries. my intention was to get to meet everyone in Kuwait so far everyone i added on fb from kuwait i had met
sure good luck !
Mark: i hope you didn’t take it personally, its just with my facebook account i only add or accept people i’ve met in person before.
F: no i don’t take it personally i dont even know you 😉
***** Next day a friend sent me the message above so I messaged her back *****
Mark: ummm why are you asking my friends about me?
F: because i dont trust ur answer and i thought it is weird and odd
Mark: ?
Mark: Which answer
F: and ur enttiled to do what ever u want just i like i am
F: i use facebook differently and now i m sure 100% u have a problem with me
so i got my answer it is not because you do not know me
Mark: Lady I have no clue who you are, Don’t take it personally
F: what bothers me is how people are easily lie to one another without confronting the truth
it is not taking it personally too to ask about it
i cant trust you
Mark: I think you’re mistaking me for someone else
We’ve never met
F: oka i think you r are violating my personal space ..
maybe ur right. i think your someone else.
Mark: Listen not sure what your problem is but I just thought it was weird you were asking people about me.
F: not asking them im questioning your credibility
and your honesty
and what i got is that your weird.
Mark: What does my credibility and honesty have to do with me unfriending u cuz I don’t know u?
F: because i have 5000 friends and i always use facebook to get know people .. i use it for many reasons .. and i found your justtification totally odd
Mark: Wtf
F: okay i have to go back to work..
take care..
F: you know whats funny ? is that i added like 41 people who are friends with ****** because im back home to kuwait and i didnt know anyone .. and thought of making a film about their work and get to to know their life and discover the new kuwait i have been absent from.. so i thought you are one of those open minded people who are trying to create a good mood here and social life.. with your blog.. but again.. your atittude is strange to me and i never saw it from anyone of the 41 pees i added so hence the shock..
F: now it is not your fault it is my fault for thinking you are like me.. open to socializing and new friendships. please refrain from talking to me and sorry about bothering you 🙂
have a wonderful night.

She cray cray !
Hilarious
She must have skipped her Meds…
Mark, Sorry you had to go through all that drama….
personal space invader
It’s reassuring to see I am not the only person who attracts total nutjobs! She sounds CRAZY! Why would you want to have someone you don’t even know on your personal page! & the to top it off by checking if you had met other people you kept on your friend list was just a sign of seriously obsessive behaviour! You are well rid!!

You should have asked her to meditate Mark!
She must be going bananas reading this. Good luck.
I get the point of wanting to add someone to make new friends with them as much I get why someone would only want to have people they’ve met in real life on their Facebook page. What I don’t get is getting so offended that you’ve been unfriended that you’d go after a person’s friend acting weird as hell. That’s not cool. You handled it very well though, Mark.
If you notice she asked a friend of mine who she’s never even spoken to before!
That’s even worse :S Straight up stalker behavior. I’d block her if I was you and I haven’t already.
I have about 200 people as friends on my fb, and it took me almost 6 months to realize someone unfriended me….she’s got 5000 friends and can tell immediately when someone unfriended her? Aren’t her other 4999 friends enough?
Weirdo….
Tinder is a great place to make new friends.
And just to mess with her…
you need to send her a friend request and then when she accepts , you can unfriend her again 😛
that will get her started !!!
MAAARK.
Plz b my frnd.
#NOTSTALKINGYOUCREEPILYREALLY
Jokes apart, you should start making memes of the weird social interactions and comments you come across thanks to the blog.
I used to post the strange emails I would get on a tumblr https://strangeemailsiget.tumblr.com
hhahahahahahhahahahhaha!! funniest thing ever..
hahahaha Mark.. This totally made my day .. Lol!
” I don’t know what it is about me but it’s really weird how I tend to piss people off pretty frequently without even trying”
It’s your smug lebanese aura, don’t worry all lebs have it :p
Jk.
😔
mark I think us two share the same person as in I have her request hanging in there for the past couple of month and I believe after reading this, ill keep her for many months more.
A friend messaged me awhile ago and was like is the girl called *****? I was like yeah! He then proceeded to tell me about his weird encounter with her as well.
It’s gonna be funny if more guys come forward about this.
that’s what I meant in my comment above I did feel something strange when she added me out of no where and now and you mentioning that she is in the process of making a movie I can assure you she is the same person.
DUUUUUUDE!
Did you try passing her a Snickers bar though?
Mark, give her a shaani 🙂
you should have kept her honestly .. At least we will have more entertaining posts!
She just wanted the D !
the most important question is F fit????
Wo Wo Wo…..I think, she is the Lady from movie name MISERY
Why did you invade her personal space with your insistent texts though?
Why?
This is sad actually. No need to make her life worse with this post. She’s obviously quite unstable.
She is IN LOVE with you Mark! 😂
That is probably Nat trying to see how you are doing in life without her…
Hahaha no, she’s doing perfectly fine without me
I am totally on your side unless she was a total smokeshow! In that case fwd that sn!
Who the F**K has 5000 so-called “friends”?!
I’m like you, Mark, I only add people to Facebook that I know personally or through some form of interaction (adopting a dog, etc). I find it bothersome and even a bit intrusive when a random stranger sends friend requests. So I can imagine how shocked you were to discover you didn’t even know this person but that she’s a bit unstable.
You may want to consider exactly why you have so many friends in common — did she stalk your page and just add all of them as a way to get you to accept? Creepy.
It’s articles like this that get me out of work mode… laugh a bit at the insanity that has become our ‘society’ via use of social media and gets me back to reality…
I am sorry you had to endure that… you responded like a champ! the ignore/block/delete button was created for a reason…
I think she’s not crazy just can’t handle rejection and has a lot of time to waste. Girl if u readin this, I think u should take it easy and not so seriously its just social media and the guy has the right to unfollow whoever he wants even if he met u in real. Chillax
I thought all women can’t handle rejection.
Thank you for noticing me SENPAI NOTICED ME…
SUGOOOOIIIIIII =DDDD
I shall stalk further to have him post another post about me…. dedicated to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee =D
I bet this is what she’s thinking 😉
Who cares?! Move on…
These are some of the reasons why aliens have failed to contact our planet…… full of walking zombies.lol
i bet she made you go through hell to read her essay
Passive aggressive. But yeah she is crazy.
Someone needs to remind her that FB isn’t real life. And it wouldn’t hurt to remind her that it’s not all about, well, [i]her[/i].
But that’s just my take on it.
Seems as if u 2 r d only peeps who use Facebook….
Sounds like to me that maybe this was her whole mission in the first place, for you to do a piece on your blog with your interaction with her!
ur only mistake was replying to her 1st msg
Her english though… For someone that hasn’t been in Kuwait for a while..
Be careful Mark ! You should watch your back from now onwards ! hahaha
staaaaaaalker
shu elak jalad, just block her w khalas
how unfriending raises questions on your credibility and honesty.i dont understand the link.
you should’ve stopped at “violating my personal space”
I can’t even be in the same room with people who talk like that
PMS and Pills..
B’s be loco bro, She was looking for the D but got the unfriend button :,D
Just curious if her name actually starts with F its made up. If its not F I MIGHT have encountered her as well.
Lol- This so funny. 🙂
You think this is funny mark? I’ll show you how to make fun of me again, once I get my hands on you! You’ll see ! You’ll all see !
Mark and the everyone else.
The person who contacted you is a computer generated bot. intelligent huh? not so, go over the comments once again and you will realize that this “person” does not make sense and is trying to act human.
To make sure next time, do any or all of the following:
1. ask a specific question related to a current event related to KUWAIT and see the response.
2. claim that you just asked how old she is and see if she agreed that you already asked her.
3. or just say, “are you really 25 years old” and see how she responds.
4. ask the same questions over again in a minute interval and it will be like you are asking it for the first time.
5. in the end try to give in and tell her you will do anything to help her and see the response.
or do your own interrogation and dont be the interrogated!
peace
A bot would never use a Noun. (As in, a country or a specific place or event, like you said in #1). Check out the second text message from ‘F’. It’s probably someone trying really hard to be friends with Mark.
Sure they would if programmed to be orientated or learn on its own just like that microsoft created twitter bot. However their comprehensiveness of nouns would definetly be limited and ky point was to challenge that. The points ive stated are to challenge the bot (so called freind of mark) to see if its a bot or not.
You mention that this bot is “not so” intelligent. If what you are saying is true, that this is a computer generated bot, then bloody hell it is intelligent.
It is intelligent because it should emotion.
Let us not forget that this “bot” also had the intelligence to contact one of marks friends.
*showed emotion
Just for arguments sake… they can pretend to feel and show emotions. Just saying… again just like that microsoft twitter bot… 🙂
Ok i think u proved me wrong. Cant be a bot, especially who is able to act upon their words. My mistake.
Don’t be silly, it’s a real person not a fucking bot
Maybe.. maybe you’re a computer generated bot!!! AND YOU DON’T KNOW IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Its times like this that you should automatically go into Borat mode…
Ahh very nice… you make friends with me… Ah like…
hahahahaha, dude are you still working on the island? if yes i need to visit you sometime before it gets too hot
I’m certain I’m a bot.
screw u all bullies,…..girl if u r reading this, which i am sure u r………..add me 🙂 i will never unfriend u. promise
