When I had my former junior high school bully try to “friend” me, I knew FB was a load of…something.

People were judging others based on songs and clothes rather than 1-on-1 interaction.

If you are a business owner and have a habit of sending “friend requests” to your customers/clients, it might be a good idea to clean up your profile for the exact reason I mention above. People may stop doing business with you because you list that you like the Double Down Dan Band, and they found out that the Double Down Dan Band advocates selling monkey pelts, and the customer refuses to support that.
