So I was just reading my Facebook messages for the first time in a super long time, like last year or more. I noticed that there is a place for message requests from non friends. Did everyone already know this? I had no idea! So anyway there's one section for posts that aren't spam and one for spam. The one for spam is full of messages that I never got. Behold! The first one ever:



So yeah i haven't read more yet but this is extremely interesting to me. I'm almost afraid to see what kind of creeps post on my messages when they aren't friends with me. At the same time, it could be hilarious. What do, goons? Should I keep reading the messages? There are probably at least a hundred of them based on how long i had to scroll. I'm scared of what i might find. Can you attach images? There's probably dick pics if so.

Please forgive the lovely cropping I am posting on my phone and I'm outdoors so it's hard to see the changes in color from message to background. Just for those ocd among us.

It wasn't an accident.
It doesn't identify me, I cropped identifying stuff out.

I am curious how many other people had no idea this existed and have random messages they never read. So I'm spreading it around a little.

It looks like what happened is these were group messages and everyone else that was part of the group messages has long since left the group probably at an appropriate time. I just stayed on forever apparently.

This is probably something I didn't go to. I used to flake out a lot before I got on psych meds. I still do sometimes. I have anxiety about social situations like a true goon.

Also I haven't thought about Mr. Gatti's in ages. Are they still around? Weren't they a big chain or was it more local?

I didn't go to this as far as I remember, I even had torn pajamas to wear (I had short hair at the time so it fit) but I chickened out at the last minute. This was my freshman year of undergrad.
Edit - why is this coming up as webp? I are not good with computer and I might have had an edible earlier so if someone can figure out how to embed it pls help kthnx

Lol imgur is downvoting my images, they must think it's boring. Well I think it's interesting!! I seriously just wonder how many people are as stupid as me and had no idea about this feature of Facebook, possibly missing things that would have mattered at the time.

I think I figured out what I did I just have to go back and edit my post. Anyway here's another one:


Wonder if this person was mad at me for not bringing a 2 liter. I wonder if I ever added them as a friend whoever they are. I guess it would just turn in to a regular message in that case? I don't know how that works.

Oh poo poo. I just realized I can reply to these messages. But I'm thinking the people that sent them may have deleted their account, therefore leaving their identity as "Facebook user." I'm going to try replying to the first one...

Fake edit - it just says couldn't send, oh well.

So I guess all these messages are only people and organizations who deleted their Facebook? I'm not entirely sure.

Ok the rest of it wasn't super interesting though I might post the nostalgic ones I found just for fun. Most of it is actual spam and creepy people including one guy I talked to on some dating app and apparently he looked up my Facebook and tried to contact me after I stopped replying. He has since unsent the messages. Wonder what it said...Hopefully no death threats :ohdear:

Also one has a bunch of people in it and they posted their addresses. Probably none of them still live there, otherwise I might have sent someone I haven't talked to in a long time a card or something.

I can't figure out how-to embed because it's doing the .webp thing so you'll have to go to imgur (I'm so sorry)
