Top ten Facebook friend requests you should hit 'Ignore' on

So, we're going to call this new spot 'Things Susi really hates on Facebook' and have done with it. I might even get some kind of logo designed. Up today? People you really need to deny as a friend request. The Ignore button is there for a reason, people.

Dad: Do I need to explain this one? Firstly, parents shouldn't be on Facebook because Facebook is for the kids. Secondly, if anyone deserves to have the most limited of all limited profile viewing options, it's your father. After all, he still thinks you've never kissed a boy, right?

Mum: See above. But it gets worse - she'll want to discuss what she's seen on Facebook IRL. Urgh.

Boss: As this guy in Australia found out, having anyone from your office as your friend on Facebook spells P45 in big letters. Even the odd 'Susi is thinking everyone in her office is a moron' update has a habit of causing issues. Can't imagine why...

Sister: It's less about her knowing what you've been up to, and more about knowing what she's been up to. Do you really want to see the kid who's nappies you changed, clutching a bottle of Blue WKD and hanging off some boys neck?

Family friend: It's ever so difficult to look each other in the eye during the obligatory Boxing Day drinks when you know they've joined the group 'I've shagged Dennis in Accounts and I can confirm he's great in bed'.

Landlord: Asking for a deposit back whilst simultaneously denying any knowledge of how that stain got all the way up the wall and onto the ceiling? Your denial becomes less convincing when there's an album on your Facebook page entitled 'The Trashing of the House Party'.

Famous People: Unless you have the number, the genuine number, of said celebrity on your phone, you're not really friends, are you? In fact, I'd go as far as to say you're probably just cluttering up their wall.

School Bullies: No one needs friends that badly. And I know why people do it - what better way to ensure your life is leagues ahead of theirs than via the medium of FB. But really, in the interests of sanity, they should be left well alone.

Religious updaters: Each to their own, live and let live, etc etc. Having said that, I draw the line at status updates such as 'X has just realised how great God is' and 'Y has received another miracle from God'.

Random friends: If there's no mutual friends, there's really no point. Yes, perhaps at that one gig you got on fantastically, having bonded over the length of the queue at the bar, but now? Read the wall, and you won't know any of the people commenting, understand any of the jokes or be involved in any of the stuff that makes Facebook fun.

More Facebook stuff I hate? Well, there's the Groups You Should Never Join, and of course the Facebook Status Crimes, for a start.
