Top Ten Ways to Get Yourself Cut.

[joe_mulcahy]

No, no folks, this is neither a post about bodybuilding or circumcision (Joe cups his hands over his groin and goes a bit pale), but about the pervasive "friends cutting" that I see happening around me. As I've said months ago, and as I say now, I just don't understand it. It confuses me, my brethren. People are not disposable commodities one

Hmmm...#10 really hits close to home. :\

Oh well.

Those are quite funny though. I could actually see them happening. Don't know that they're all that far from the truth.

Good to see you back!

[joe_mulcahy]

Wow really? You've experienced something similar to number 10? Gee...(((huggles)))

Thanks for the welcome back.

Let's hope you don't experience number one, and if so, lets hope the person has an acceptable looking bum at least.

[veelaoferised]

Yeah. Several times. *huggles back*

:)

Now a nice bum wouldn't be bad at all. ;) Quite honestly, I don't know why anyone would de-friend someone if that happened. But maybe that's my sick sense of humor. :D

[joe_mulcahy]

Well I believe I'll have to ammend the list then. Perhaps I'll suggest that the person find a friend with a hairy bum to sit on the scanner, think that would work?

tried #9 once...didnt work :)

[joe_mulcahy]

Hmm...maybe next time you might try a full blown ascaris infestation, those are ugly.

I haven't been anyones friend on here for long so I don't ever have this problem.

But if I did have that problem all of my friends would think nothing of it. I do things like that all the time, not number 1 though.

I am going to add you, by the way.

Thank you so much for adding me. Wow you do all of the above except number one? Hmm...I guess I'll have to come with even crazier ideas then.

[loveroflaughter]

I haven't yet. I do things like talk about what is sex at lunch and stuff so not much can make my friends want to unfriend me.

I was under the impression that people are cut from the friends list most likely because they've stopped interacting with that person. If they stop reading that person's journal or leave comments and eventually lose contact with him/her, then it only makes sense to remove them from one's friends list. Then again, I also used to think that hot dogs were made from neither animals nor plants, but an otherwordly substance. So it's very possible that I could be wrong.

[joe_mulcahy]

Oh, I see. I just thought the whole process of unfriending people seemed shallow. Perhaps the reason one would stop visiting a site would be that they were too busy to do so in real life.

That can be the case sometimes but he had it right in some cases. Sometimes, even if you make an effort with someone and leave comments on their journal on a regular basis, they will cut you anyway. Sometimes without explanation. When I first came to livejournal, I recall looking at my userinfo and suddenly 3 people had unfriended me. Blah. By the way, joe_mulcahy, I'm friending you.

[joe_mulcahy]

Thank you. Yes I never understood people who cut when you still leave comments with them. Furthermore, I fail to see the practicality in making an announcement that one has cut friends. It is not so different from standing in the square and shouting something to the effect of "Attention! Attention! I am no longer a friend of "So and SO," "Wotszit," and "JOEBLOW!"

I know how to make your friends get rid of you: keep whining and whinging all the time about EVERYTHING, oh, and don't forget to boast about anything you can.
