Today I got sent a ‘friend request’ from someone I don’t actually know. Normally this is a no brainer… there’s the ‘ignore’ button… CLICK!
But this friend request came from a relative. A relative I’ve never met and am unlikely to meet in the foreseeable future given that this person lives in Canada-da and I’m all the way down here in Aus-tray-lee-yah.
So what do you do? Can I be rude to a relative whose a complete stranger and ignore the friend request? Or does the inherent connection mean I’m obliged to be amiable and friendly towards this person who was hitherto unknown to me?
