Haha! That’s what I did. When my aunt tried to friend request me on Facebook, I bailed.

I joined back in college when it was an invite only walled-garden of college kids. Zucks pic was still in the banner when I joined iirc. They hadn’t release “the wall” or much of what Facebook eventually became.

But when parents and coworkers started trying to friend request me I realized it was time to bail.

So 12 years ago? Maybe just 10.

I have never missed it at all.
