Are you constantly realizing various FB friends know the

[bonquiqui]

Yes, and sometimes it freaks me out. Like wait...lol

[litebright]

I did a double-take on FB today, thinking that two completely unrelated people in different states knew each other, but it turns out that my friend and I both know guys with the same (very common) first and last name.

[lilac05]

Yes, frequently!

The first time it happened when we moved back, I was ready to pack my bags & head out of town! I didn't like my circles mixing. Now, I've just accepted it & am starting to like it...sometimes.

[themysteriouswife]

Yup. My SIL is friends with the guy who introduced H and I. They are polar opposites and there is slight age difference. I asked her how they knew one another. He married her elmentry BFF.

People I went to HS with are friends with people I met years later at metal shows with H.

FB just proves it is a small world.

[revolution]

Yes! I had an ex-BFF comment on a summer camp friends post and it freaked me out.

And another camp friend was college roommates with a "friend" from HS.

Ok. As I think there are waaayyyyyy too many random friends. They shouldn't know each other.

[lpcats]

Yes. High school, college, and H's MBA keep overlapping. It's weird, especially because I didn't grow up here.

[meij]

In a swap group I clicked on someone because her name sounded familiar. It said we had five mutual friends so I was assuming we went to the same college. Nope, the five people were all from different points of my life and wouldn't know each other. It was really weird.

[KKD]

Miss.Modular is somehow friends with a girl with whom I went to high school and college. I have always wanted to ask her how she knows her!

[rosiebear]

Yes! A mother of one of my son's friends worked with my nephew.

I'm also friends with a local politician, and she knows everybody. I don't really count that, though.

[lurkerlou]

Yes. I came across someone who was friends with my teenage cousin and my bff who is almost 60. Then 2 weeks later she showed up in a post by a friend from a completely other circle of my life. Weird. Weird. Weird.

[readyin07]

Yes and it weird me out but I never want to comment bc I don't want people to think I am a stalker lol. I have a friend from college who has never lived in my home state with a mutual friend from my hs who has mostly lives here.

[killercupcake]

Yes. It happens all the time and weirds me out.

[nannersp]

I'm always taken aback when moms in my neighborhood group know random friends of mine, both nearby and far.

A girl I went to college with was Stan's childhood bestie. She turned out to be kind of a douche, though. lol

My sisters' brother is former besties er something with gozf's boyfriend.

I get the sense that they'd still be besties if your sisters' brother hadn't moved!

MissModular and I had the same pediatric dentist!

[suzyp]

I have a couple of really randoms of high school people knowing college people, and I went to college nowhere near where I grew up.

But someone I know in Houston is good friends with the wife of someone I worked with in DC right out of college. Because they grew up in NM together. It was so odd to have her pop up in wedding pictures on my newsfeed.

[melodramatic26]

Yes! A few months ago my cousin was in a picture with a good friend from college. I commented it was crazy to see them together and my friend from college never put two and two together that we had the same last name (nota common name).

Then I freaked out about the stories college friend could tell my cousin...

[Deleted]

@kirkette knows one of my friends from teaching.

The husband of a former Knottie/Nestie knows my old co-worker from running.

Didn't you also randomly discover that you are related to CaptainSerious? CaptainObvious? Queen Dick, Hibernating Bear, which one do I like? Lol

Well Captain Serious adopted some kids so that's nice. I think Captain Obvious is always obvious.

Obviously
