I was thinking what’s with younger people on facebook who sit for hours requesting people as friends, people they don’t actually know and probably never will

For example i’ve about 12 close mates who do this. One has 1831 “friends” and he actually only knows about 120 of them and is only friends with about 90 of them
Another has 2186 “friends”, she actually just knows about 250 of them and is friends with approx 140 of them and not even close friends at that

Like WTF is with that? Could never understand it, the point of it.. I’d feel like a creepy muppet if i did that!
