12 Things You Discover When You Explore Facebook's "Other" Folder

In addition to messages from your old high school classmates, the person trying to promote their latest blog post, and the guy/girl you just friended the week before who is trying to flirt, there's a separate category of Facebook messages that are so extreme...well, Facebook decides to filter them and put them in your "other" folder. Yes. Other folder. Some are funny, some are creepy, and some...just don't make sense.

1. Tigers that can't spell.

Perhaps his paws were too big to type properly on his mobile device?

2. Grammar problems.

I'm a grammar geek and well, he chose to use a period instead of a question mark, meaning...no reply for Nizan.

3. People U don't know.

Cleverly using my last name would normally work, but unfortunately, this guy is demanding and, even worse, didn't spell out the word "you."

4. Wannabe rappers.

Hey Rey...that's cool that you rhyme...but I just want to say that you're wasting my time.

5. Namedroppers.

Wait...so everyone in your family did something. What did YOU do? (I mean, aside from improperly spelling the plural form of "lady.")

6. Red flags.

If Google+ is your social network of choice, it won't work out. We just see the world in different ways.

7. TMI.

Facebook chat doubles as a therapy session for some people?

8. Greek gods.

The real Zeus would totally know if it was really me. Sigh.

9. Creepy hollering.

Not THAT nice, considering your message is being posted for the entire Internet to see.

10. Stalkers.

"I just couldn't resist looking at your profile photo again and again." Yikes.

11. Driving advice and religious blessings?

In related news, I did not buy a new car, nor is the VW Jetta I drive considered luxury.

12. Things you just don't understand.

Sorry, I don't speak French.
