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?

I didn't mind that at all. I had an idea of who you were, and like you said, we had common interests. That, and you personally sought me out. And that's cool.

What happened with this guy was that he just randomly added a bunch of people, apparantly using some sort of search bot, and then was all 'haha added you, either add back or STFU'.

And, well, when it's an RP journal, and your pup already knows five million people, it gets a little confusing. (That, and I'm admittedly a bit paranoid about people I don't know just popping up and going 'HI I ADDED YOU DUDE!').

I like meeting new folks--I just don't like 'meeting' them as part of a mass flisting event (unless it's someone who just joined the same comm as me, and they're just adding all the comm members)
