Blocked Facebook section was like a graveyard of zombies
Yesterday I was thinking about a girl I dated 15 years ago. We dated for 4 years. I don't miss her at all, she was such an obnoxious person, I was simply curious to see what she looks like now. Just to see if she looks different than when I dated her. She's had 2 kids since we broke up so I figured she must look at least a little different now. I couldn't find her Facebook page so I went to the photos of a mutual friend and found photos she was tagged in but her name wasn't hyperlinked so I wasn't sure if she deleted her Facebook or if I blocked her..
So I went to the blocked users list on my Facebook account which has at least 150 people on it (I'm a habitual blocker on social media) and trying to find her name in this never ending Santa's list of despicable human beings made me feel so disgusted. Within a matter of 30 seconds I literally felt my body temperature rising and I almost broke a sweat! I felt like was in a dark space with rotten corpses in every direction and no matter where I turned to escape, I would be stepping in a puddle of rotten putrid filth, like liquid hot garbage. I felt like I was unintentionally summoning the undead from their graves. I even stumbled upon other women that I've dated and blocked that I wasn't even thinking about. After about 2 minutes of not being able to find my ex's name I GTFO of there and vowed to never return to that blocked users list E V E R A G A I N
I will never give a damn about what that ex, or any ex for that matter, looks like for the rest of my days. They're in the past and that's where they will stay for the rest of eternity.

I think you’re over exaggerating. It’s been 15 years why does it matter anymore?
I’ve never had anyone blocked for more than 2 years.
@SW-User I'm not exaggerating about a single thing flower girl.. The only aspect that mattered to me was being curious about her physical appearance. She was really cute when we dated, like she would get attention everywhere we went from men & women equally. I was just wondering if she was still really cute.
That's interesting you have a certain time span for how long you block someone. I don't think I've ever unblocked somebody I personally know after blocking them. I assume it's because you think they could have changed and are no longer a person worthy of being blocked?
@LordShadowfire Same. I don't just block people willy nilly so they must have done something to really offended me in order to get blocked in the first place, so why would I ever unblock them?
The only time I ever unblock somebody is if they're somebody that I don't personally know, like a celebrity or something.
@GoToTheCompound I don't block very easily, either. I think the last person I blocked on Facebook what someone who complained when I posted this picture:
Some woman I barely knew started complaining that I was wasting food while people in other countries were starving. I told her that if she was offended by that picture, she could go ahead and block me, and then I told her I would save her the trouble.

@GoToTheCompound It’s not that they have changed probably not. Fact of the matter is, they’re very unlikely to contact me after a considerable amount of time. If they don’t bother me why block. I just forget. Having them blocked will always mean they’re on my profile somewhere. If I unblock and move on then eventually social media will have no recollection of me ever knowing that person.
@GoToTheCompound I don't even know where the picture came from, lol. It just showed up one day on Reddit, and then over onto Facebook, and then everybody was sharing it with each other, laughing at it, and this woman is like, "nO! yOu aRe wAsTiNg fOoD! hOw dArE YoU? aAaRgH!"
@LordShadowfire You should've pretended you took the photo and told her that you threw it in the garbage right after taking it. That really would've steamed her bean
