If Facebook tells me one more time…
…that I “may know” my ex-husband’s wife, I’m gonna have to scream. I’ve put the “X” saying don’t show me this again about 8 times now.
Nothing against Heather. I’m sure she’s a nice woman an’ all, but seriously… Get over it, Facebook. I have.

I’m not a fan of short comments, but my on this can be said with one word: brutal.
Jeremy Lim’s last blog post: WordPress works, but …
dude, you can fix this! YAY! i fixed it by total fluke. all you gotta do is x out/delete the people showing more will pop up just keep deleting them it takes less than five minutes! Once they stopped showing up i figured there would be more next time i signed in but there hasn’t been any.
gusgreeper’s last blog post: Well, here goes…. and it isn’t pretty.
I assumed the Xes were permanent (as gusgreeper suggests) but I have the same problem: some potential contacts seem X-proof. No matter how many times I remove them from the list, they show up again.
Facebook bug? Or perhaps a “feature” where if a new path to that person is created, it reappears? Either way, I agree it’s annoying.
Also annoying is a “Friends not in Common” filter when you get a new friend. It shows me “Friends in Common” which is nice, and “All Friends” which is okay, but what I need is a way to quickly assess whether my newly added friend has connections to people I know but hadn’t discovered yet, without relying on the flaky “People You May Know” box mentioned above….
Nice. Yeah, I see people all the time on the list and think I know we have like 30 friends in common and yet still we aren’t connected. I almost feel the pressure to friend them but then think they’re probably seeing my dumb face on their page too and wondering why they keep having me pushed on them
The ex thing would suck though.

it totally doesn’t surprise me that it wouldn’t work for everyone, there are a lot of things about facebook i find are like that.. like how the page refreshes so fast you seriously can end up deleting people by error.
just pls note im talking about using the delete function not just the x-out don’t show me this again…and it only worked when i sat there and just kept deleting them till they stopped popping up. i may have just gotten lucky and they’ll show up again in a week. fingers are crossed they don’t.
i know i have too much time on my hands.. oh i know
gusgreeper’s last blog post: Well, here goes…. and it isn’t pretty.
I got a little enraged by this, as my ex (who I had deleted) and his new gf kept showing up again and again – so, I emailed Facebook. They gave me some baloney – and I told them back, under no friendly circumstances, that I was furious. After that, it just disappeared. Don’t ask me how, or why – but it did.
I think it’s ridiculous. I mean, there are some people I haven’t added to Facebook FOR A REASON. And people who I have purposely deleted should never show up again.
Phew. Rant over.
PS – I still don’t receive your RRS updates, Tanya.

Welcome to all the new commenters (or, happy de-lurking?)
Ya, I have tried everything I can to not have it come up — X-ing out several times, etc. I don’t hate her or anything, and I left my ex-husband on good terms, but that doesn’t mean I want to have that constant reminder every time I visit FB.
@Tania: Which RSS feed have you subscribed to? I’d love the link, as that way I can fix it for probably dozens of others, too. Thanks! (ps: WE NEED TO GET TOGETHER!!)
I’m using Google Reader … I just tried re-subscribing… we’ll see if that helps.
I’m free this weekend, so far … drop me a line if you are too!

Hence why I am not on Facebook
Can you imagine if the “people who you may know” is Ben’s current wife? UM, NO THANKS

Yeah the new Facebook is pretty damn buggy I find.
Tawcan’s last blog post: 5 things you may not know about Tawcan
It’s a bit of a silly idea, but have you tried blocking the woman on Facebook? Not that she’s doing anything to you, but maybe if she’s set as blocked then Facebook won’t bring her up again?
Yeah, I love that Facebook keeps inviting me to become friends with ex-boyfriends. Most of them can kiss my ass.
