Vaguely amused and annoyed at the same time

...So who else finds having a person suddenly and randomly adding you to their flist using some sort of search script program annoying? Especially when from what you can tell, you and they have nothing in common?

Someone friended my main RP LJ yesterday doing that. It's the third time within a month that's happened, too. Which is why I'm asking. Whatever happened to actually talking to people and finding out what they're like?

And that I don't have a problem with. It's a live person looking people up, and actually checking out the people they're friending.

But these last three incidents played out as [livejournal.com profile] chiss up above said--it was a spambot, and this last time (last night) when I posted to the owner of the LJ that he'd friended an RPG journal and not a real person's LJ, he was all 'STFU and just don't friend it back then!'.

So not only was it 'who is this?!', but the guy was rude too, when all I was doing was letting him know was that Derek's LJ was an RPG journal, and probably not what he meant to friend.
