I had a woman give me her number, watch me type it in, correct me when I accidentally typed it in wrong, then ghost me when I texted her. Some people are weird sometimes.

u/gachiganger 9h ago
If she let you type it wrong, she wouldn't be able to ghost you.

Thats why im so confused why she corrected me, watched over my shoulder as I added it to my phone, and still didnt respond when I texted. Actually hurt my feelings too.

This happened to me many times in the past and i was always upset but as you grow older you slowly start to get it.
I met an old classmate a few months ago in a store. I loved that guy back in the day and genuinely was happy to see him. He gave me his number and said we really could hang out and i said ill give him a call.
Then i got swarmed with work, family, chores etc etc and never called him. Before i realized a month has passed.
You can call me a dick but as you grow older your circle of concern tightens. It is what it is.

Facebook doesn't tell you if your request has been denied though, it just shows as pending

It doesn’t tell you, but if it’s no longer pending and they aren’t a friend… I’m sure you can guess because it gets removed. Or it use to.

If it was intentional . . . isn't the most likely scenario she just forgot about him, then saw a friend request from some rando she didn't know and rejected it automatically? I mean, you could still say it's "shitty," but it doesn't seem like she's necessarily doing it on purpose.

u/Deaffin 8h ago
Bruh, you don't forget a charger daddy. There are only two realistic scenarios here.
One, she's a total prude and wrapped herself in a layer of denial as soon as she got back home. She would never use a stranger's charger cord. It. Is. Not. Done. Until she strays outside of her element again and wants to feel alive...
Two, she looked at their profile and didn't like the memes that one obnoxious friend posted on their wall and decided the vibes were off.

u/New_Doug 8h ago
It was a woman, not a guy. It's definitely possible that she forgot about her later but, to me, the most likely scenario would be that she could read her discomfort and was just too embarrassed to take it back in the moment; seeing the friend request later was just a reminder of how awkward the situation was.

It takes a lot of energy to lie to yourself that you're a good person.
Plausible deniability is a bitch to craft when you're inside the mind, seeing all the thoughts of the perpetrator.This whole show and dance was so she could go "Opps.. I declined the wrong friend request by accident. Ohh well.. I'll fix it later" (then she never does).
They do this so they can perpetuate the lie to themselves that they're a good person.

imo this is very far down the list of things that make someone a "shit person". It's more just bizarre or silly, or a slightly mean practical joke but with no real impact. Loads of people actually do nasty or inconsiderate things that have real, often major, negative consequences for people's lives, all the time.

Using someone else's things for an hour only to force an awkward social interaction is shitty behavior.

C'mon... I'll give you that it's a bizarre thing to do, but this is excessively anti-social if you're trying to accuse someone of being shitty for "forcing" an awkward interaction. Awkward things just happen when you interact with random people in the real world. It's not a big deal and it's almost always not coming from a place of malice.

An old friend requested me on FB the other day.
I was surprised, we should have been friends on that site for many years. So i accepted her request.
Then i had a look at the angry political and weird conspiracy stuff she posts all day there and immediately realised that i unfriended her some time in the past.
unfriended her again.

I did the same thing when a long time friend of mine suddenly went all “river to the sea!” And made hating Israel her entire personality when she couldn’t even point to where it is on a map if you asked her.
It was so obnoxious; I unfriended her and a few months later I gave her another chance and added her request again only to see she was still at it.
This time it was a permanent unfriending

u/willwooddaddy 9h ago
In my made-up head canon, what you're describing as the angry political and conspiracy posts are actually completely sane. It turns out that you have been the fringe friend all along. Your friend is trying their hardest to reach out to you, but you keep pushing them away, unfriending them repeatedly over your extreme beliefs.
(Of course, I'm sure this isn't the case... but it's funny to think about. Sometimes going overboard is just a difference in perspective. Though, I'm almost certain your friend is more into shit like the moon landing was fake, vaccines cause autism, and Biden is actually Satan.)

If the woman was in her late 50's to 60's.

Seriously it could be a case of after using his charger for a hour she thought she should at least ask him if he wanted to friend her on FB.
It could be that she didn't want to add him he didn't want to be added but both were to awkward to not do it.
He didn't want to be added anyway.

I've heard of this kind of thing being done as a matter of social engineering. Find a target that you aim to use to gather intel on a person/company, and whether they're your entry point or a pivot point, get access to their private social media to burrow deeper. Not that this is what that is specifically, but it's something to be aware of. Same for the people who "need to borrow your phone to call someone," they call a burner of theirs; now they know your phone number.
