Orkut:- I love you but....

From the title you probably get the idea that i am pissed!! Here's why:- I have been constantly getting Friendship requests from strangers and weirdos, with messages like "You don't know me, but i want to know you", "You are Butiful, can v b frens", "You are so nice, frens??", You are int"i"lligent, want to know me???" etc!!! I was being nice by choosing the "no" option...Its basically not in me to be "rude"...but i was hitting my limit, and i knew it...

So, a couple of weeks back, i received a friend request from someone with a certain celebrity's profile pic (like thats going to help!!)...I, as always, chose "no". I get this rude scrap from this person i had just "No"d "You can't ignore me, i am a big celebrity"....I was like "What th???"....I was so tempted to reply back but have been told repeatedly by my well wishers to not respond when angry....So, for the time being, I ignored it.....He sent another request, claiming to be some other film personality, now with a different profile pic....This silly bugger however did not change his "EMAIL":)..Gosh!! I chose "No" again.,...He scraps me:- "All i want to do is be your friend...i will show you how kollywood works"....I wanted to say "No thanks Pervert"..but chose not to...I thanked ORKUT profusely for the "Ignore user" option, which i intend to use more in da future...

Anyways, i changed my About me a little bit (rude!!!) and guess what??? Now i get 10-15 requests per day....previously, it used to be one or two per day! :(
I need to know if you guys are going through the same thing!!! I know i sound all whiny but trust me, its really frustrating to see these requests, especially when they go to the extent of writing verses from songs, describing how they need to be your friend!! Jeeeeeeez

For now, my only option seems to be the "IGNORE USER" tab....
I love ORKUT (as you all know!!) :) but it has way too many jerks who just randomly access your profile (which is now protected, thank you very much :) :))....

Anwhoo.....just wanted to share this with all you fellow Orkuters!!.. Keep scrapping! :)
