Just added my cousin Shawn to an ongoing e-mail w/ a bunch of my friends. We were coordinating going to a hockey game. And I guess Google’s ease of adding people to Google Talk led to some confusion:
Naveen: hello, who is this?
Shawn83: Shawn Kirmani, I’m Shahryar cousin
Naveen: ahhhh
ok, have we met?
i got a request to add you as a friend on g-talk
Shawn83: Not sure if we have met but Shahyrar gave me some new contacts
Naveen: me: oh ok – for networking?
Shawn83: yeah
(lol, shahryar’s note: I didn’t give him contact info for networking. Shawn just didn’t know what she was saying so he said yeah…)
Naveen: oh ok, cool
well it’s nice meeting you
LOL
Shawn83: nice to meet you too….LOL
Naveen: shahryar and i are friends from college
….
This is the convo w/ me and Naveen where we discussed what happened:
Shahryar: lol

Naveen: heehee
hahahaha
i thought it was random
but it’s ok

LOL
Naveen: well he requested me on g-talk
Naveen: did you give him my email? just curious
Shahryar: no, no.. he was on the hockey email
so I think that’s how he added you.. lol, he’s actually not that computer savvy
so I think he accidentally clicked on your email address or soemthign
Naveen: ohhh ok LOL… i thought it was sort of random haha
