  • chained_bear Oh, I set privacy options, believe me. Everyone I work with, except two very select individuals whom I trust outside of work, is limited to seeing just about nothing of mine. I'm even paranoid enough about it to go in every couple of weeks and double-check that everyone's still limited--god knows Facebook screws up or changes things at whim.

    The thing is, I'm just not friends with said boss, and don't really want to be--don't want to see this person's stuff, and don't want them seeing mine. Ever.

    S.O. suggested I accept the friend request and put person in my strictest limited profile group, then in a week or so, remove them as a friend. Then if I get asked about it, wonder what happened/why Facebook did that, etc. But this sounded like it would lead to an endless series of friend requests to "fix Facebook's mistake."

    I think I'll ignore it until boss says something, if ever, and then take Pro's approach. Thanks.

    Why doesn't Facebook come with an etiquette guide? Sheesh. Oct 28, 2009

  • frogapplause Privacy options? Oct 28, 2009

  • reesetee Haha!

    Another option, if you find that it becomes impossible not to accept her invitation, is to tell her you don't use it very much (as Pro suggests) and then set your privacy options so that she sees as little as possible. That also makes it look as though you don't use it much. :-) Oct 27, 2009

  • Prolagus I usually keep ignoring it for a very long time (without hitting the "ignore" button, of course).
    Then, I make sure this person has no way of knowing how often I use it.
    Finally, when asked, I just say "Really? Oh, I created my account only to see my sister's holiday pictures! I don't even know how to use it, I must have a thousand of - how do you call them? Friend askance?" Oct 26, 2009

  • chained_bear What is the polite thing to do when your boss sends a "friend" invitation on Facebook?

    I've ignored it for days, but eventually she's going to ask me about it.
