Sometimes I get random requests (I'm always suspicious it's a scam) or a friend of a friend wants to add me even though I've never met them in person. I don't bother with those either.

I have a high school buddy that I stay in touch with and he has recommended about 30 alumni, the vast majority of whom I haven't befriended because we were never close in high school. Why would I want to see pics of their kids and their vacations when we were never close to begin with?
