Going to make a friend request and being befuddled by seeing a request for friend approval instead because the person already friended you - but just a moment ago so that you haven’t seen their request yet - is the new picking up the phone and hearing the person you were about to call instead of the dialtone.*
- A dial-tone was something that people in the 1900’s used to hear to let them know that their phone was working and in a state where they could make a phone call. Kind of like the cell signal at the top of your cell phone, or the Online indicator in Skype. Except in half-duplex. Nevermind.
As much as I can.
