If someone just poked you on FB, would you assume it was accidental ?

I wasn’t been on there yonks ago when this was a thing

but I have noticed myself where you used to be able to click a button then search someone’s profile
that’s now been replaced in the same spot with poke button

so can only assume that’s what’s happened

I accidentally waved at someone. It didn’t matter as it’s someone I’m seeing anyway but it certainly wasn’t deliberate so I think it is possible to do things on Facebook by accident.

Poke on Facebook? Have I travelled back to 2009 👉😂

I have a friend who will do this ever so often! I do wonder what year I've travelled back to!

Must have.

Bought up a memory of when I accidentally threw a pig at someone.

Or was that something else.

Haha, I’m guessing this person was creeping and has done it by accident

I didn’t even know it was still a thing!
