Min Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Okay, I feel like a bit of a git asking this but I'll ask anyways, If someone adds me as a friend how come I can't "friend" them back? When I look at a members profile page if it's someone who hasn't "friended" me then I have the option of adding as a friend or pm-ing or viewing content, if it is someone who has "friended" me then the only options are "remove as a friend", then the same latter 2 options as above. So, I'm wondering if being a friend is just a one-way street or what am I missing? Apologies if this is in the wrong section, wasn't sure where to post.

bciskepottery Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 In your profile, under "settings" there is an option for approving friend requests. The default appears to allow the "one-way" street, if someone wants to friend you they can. If you check the box, then the friend request has to be approved by you -- the "two-way" street.

I think it means: If they "friend" you, you are also friends with them, therefore no need to "friend" them back. Hence "friending" is a two-way partnership.

You are describing all too many "friends" at work. They want to tell me their problems but don't care about listening to others'...Do you think they have a "two-way street" button?

Min Posted August 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 thanks for the explanations Jed, I think that happens with lots of people but being a physician I'm sure you get it more than most. My dad is a retired one and he still has former patients stopping him on the street and telling him their tales of woe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Min Posted August 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I give up....what is a "git"? git: it’s meaning changes with how you use the word. In in how i wrote it would be along the lines of doofus. It usually has a qualifying adjective in front of it so for example a “silly git†could be used if you use the wrong coloured glaze to touch up a pot. if someone cuts you off in traffic they could be a “bleeping gitâ€, a cantankerous older person could be a “miserable old git†(it’s slang so a no go for scrabble) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
