Ten years on from the birth of social networking site Facebook,
Dublin man James Duckham still hasn’t responded to his mothers friend
request.
“The request is still there every time I log in”, said
the 31 year old IT Consultant. “Every time I go on Facebook I have to be
careful not to accidentally click Accept. My Mam is a great woman
altogether, but I just didn’t want her seeing my comings and goings
online”.
James went on to describe how he had managed to dodge a friend request for the better part of a decade.
“At first, I just bluffed that I didn’t know how to accept Friend requests”, squirmed James. “That bought me about a year or so”
“Then
I would pretend that her request didn’t show up on my feed because I
was using a laptop and she was using a desktop, and that bought me
another 18 months or so. And I just kept going like that; anytime I went
around for dinner or at Christmas, I would just assure her that I would
click accept as soon as I got the request, and try to get her to cancel
it and re-send it”.
When asked how long he intended to keep this
charade going, James was optimistic that his mother would eventually
drop the issue.
“It’s only a matter of time before she stops
trying”, he said with hope. “Either she forgets about sending the
request, or takes the hint. I mean, she knows I work in IT for a living.
There’s only so braindead at computers that I can pretend to be”. waterfordwhispersnews
