Twitter friend fail

2009 June 17
by E.P.

Over the past week, I’ve received a lot of interesting Twitter follower requests.

The first one that was a little odd?

Picture 1
Apparently, I tweet about my horrible allergies so much that AllergiesInfo wants to be my friend? Do they need a poster child or something? FAIL.

And then I got the following request yesterday…

Picture 2
Horny Hottie? Seriously? Who does that? Do I LOOK like a person who wants to be following someone who calls themselves a horny hottie? No, no, no.

Colossal FAIL.

These Twitter spammers, they’re getting interesting, folks.

  • that's hilarious.
  • Block is such a good function on Twitter.
  • Cee
    I think Horny Hottie tried following me too... not sure how b/c I don't typically Tweet about sex or being horny. LOL
  • Jessica
    Oh Hornie Hottie. AKA college. Memories. You know you love it ;)
  • I don't ever really get any weird requests on Twitter...thankfully!
  • Being new to Twitter is surreal because you're right, you get LOT of weird people following you... eekk
  • Pam
    I think Horny Hottie has tried to get with everyone. What a hoe. Lol!
  • Haha.

    I was insulted by Menopause and Over40 followers.

    Oh, Twitter.
  • I got a request from horny hottie too. I block people like that.
  • sleepyjane
    I block them. Purely on principle.
  • A bunch of those are set to follow twitter for keywords. I once twittered about seeing a tattoo and got two tattoo parlors to follow me as a result. Though now, of course, I anxiously await the "horny hottie" to start following me, too.
  • I've had some random ones lately based on things I tweeted. WEIRD.
  • lol That's too funny! I knew your allergies were bad, but... ; )

    Twitter fail indeed! Next you know Lucy Belle will be requesting to follow you!
  • i find them extremely annoying. i've blocked all of them. do they really think people are going to follow them back?
  • nora- i'm with you... i feel so insulted that horny hottie isn't interested in me! lol jk
  • Much agreed! Horny Hottie was following me as well, for about one minute until I cut them off. Some interesting ones of late... Bank Freedom (??), LivingLifeBoomerStyl, and Cornhole All-Stars. Craziness! I even deleted someone and they followed me again the next day. Strange!
  • Lys
    i've had 6 or 7 horny hotties and a whole bunch of people with random letters and numbers as their name and they all offered the same thing: sexy vids and chats online!!!

    yeah, i blocked them all. talk about obnoxious.
  • I got the Atlanta Airport tried to follow me once... haven't mentioned anything remotely close to Atlanta ever in my tweets...
  • Yes! Horny Hottie tried to follow me too! I get the most random people too--the Vegas tourism board?
  • Well I feel slightly left out because Horny Hottie did NOT try to follow me. Not that I would have let him, but still.. it's the principle =)

    Very interesting indeed.
    I wonder what programs these folks use to track down their "target," followers.
  • Horny Hottie tried to follow the Tribune. I deleted that one damn fast!
  • I had Horny Hottie try to follow me too... wtf?
