normal behavior

one of the many and i mean many joys of trucking to work every morning is getting in, grabbing some coffee and getting your Urban Word of the Day, courtesy of Urban Dictionary.

today's word: inbox rot

definition: To neither accept, nor decline a friend request from someone on Facebook or Myspace. Used in situations when you don't want to accept someone's friend request, but you also don't want to be rude by declining them.

i do this ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the time!!! it is so comforting that there may be more people out there like me.

i've got a few facebook friend requests rotting away in my inbox. some have been there for months at this point. others just got there.

a few examples:
1- a bitch from high school who never spoke to me. she was too busy giving the basketball team blowjobs.

2- a girl from my professional life who i don't really like. something tells me she is up to no good.

3- Brooklyn's best friend. i would have no problem adding him, i've known him for about ten years, too and have a great cordial relationship with him. but when i am not even friends with Brooklyn on facebook (because i think his status updates would kill me) it seems sort of awkward to friend his bff.

so away they rot. collecting dust. becoming internet worm food.
