I'm a mutual friend of yer mom

Seriously, Facebook. Every time you suggest I become friends with someone, you tell me which of my friends "is a mutual friend." Except, see, it's not mutual, now is it, because I don't know most of these people you're suggesting, so it's not like we have some sort of consensual friend-sharing agreement. If I knew them, I'd already be friends with them. Unless I didn't want to be, in which case-- now, that's another thing, Facebook. Some of these people you're suggesting who I do know but barely know or don't know in a sort of way that I'd Facebook friend them, well, I've clicked the "uh, no" X in the corner of their little box half a dozen times. I clearly am not going to suddenly want them friended the seventh or eighth time you ask me, so just lay off already.
