Can I just tell you how much I hate these "businesses"?

Sorry...just had to say it. I hate them passionately.

Are you sure? I was added to a friend's group about their child, and I didn't agree to it. Not a big deal, but I didn't realize it was optional.


PP is wrong. You don't need to authorize when you're invited to a group.

Why the boo-hoo face? Don't you know how to change your settings?


I know how to use FB thank you very much. The problem is that if I leave she'll notice and I don't want to hurt her feelings. I've unsubscribed from the group feed so I don't get the embarrassing pics or comments but she keeps tagging me (and others) in the pics!!! So embarrassing!!

She's ill and trying to make a living but I'm not into that stuff and I dont want to be associated with it. People can see I'm part of the group looking at my profile and I wish I could just hide it.

How do I tell her I don't want to be part of it? I'd hate to hurt her feelings after all we've been through.

Just explain that you use FB for personal purposes and you don't want to mix business and pleasure.

I have to know, what embarassing stuff is she selling? Lingerie? Personal electronics?

I have almost the same issue except my friend added me to an email marking list sent using her personal email account. So if I blacklist the email address, I won't get any individual emails from her. So far I've just been deleting, but I think I may reach the point of asking to be removed from the list. Sigh - why do people do this to themselves?

Delete, delete! I had a friend who started selling candles. Two months of this crap, I deleted her candles and Crap. Who has time for this stuff anyway?

I'd probably just change my settings so that her posts about the business don't show up in your newsfeed or on your wall. People can be easy to ignore on FB!

We reconnected while ago through FB and we've been talking A LOT for the past few months. She's going through a lot with her recent diagnosis of MS and we talked a lot during her "hard times". Now, she just added me to a group she created to show off her products and advertise her new business. How do I politely let her know that I don't want to be part of her clientele?

She has organized a FB group and added me to it without my knowledge. I was very embarrassed by all the stuff that was on my wall before I could hide it. I'm afraid she'll be upset if I leave the FB group. She's organizing meetings to show the products and everybody is being so supportive of her project but I didn't say anything yet.

How do I politely tell her I have no interest in participating?
