Zombie Request

A work request sent to help desks or administrative assistants that should be very quick and simple to complete, but comes back over and over again due to the requestor's poor attention to detail or indecisive work groups or committees unable to agree on a final version of the request.

A zombie request can also relate to non-business requests, such as requests from a honey-do list or a family member.
I thought this spreadsheet was finally complete after the 12th time it came back for revisions, but the Tasks committee now can't decide what order to put the columns in! This zombie request just won't die!

Facebook Friend Request Purgatory

the act of neither confirming nor ignoring friend requests of those that I full well know and remember, but who have thrown me even the SLIGHTEST bit of shade in the past. I instead leave them to linger for days, weeks and sometimes a full month in 'friend request purgatory'--for punishment... and purification--before finally accepting their requests and welcoming them into "heaven" (i.e. my friend list)
Did your ex boyfriend friend request you? He's on Facebook now.

Yes girl, I have him locked away in Facebook friend request purgatory, to give him time to think about his choices and hopefully make better ones in the future.

blind request

Phenomenon of the Internet and Social Networking. A request to be "friends" from people you don't know sent without an introductory message. Request is based on your profile picture alone or a combination of your profile picture and because you've left a witty comment on someone's status. Male photographers who have a female models image as their profile photo typically receive a lot of blind requests from sex-starved losers, thinking they are female.

The blind request is often sent by rude morons who suffer from poor grammar and spelling. The blind request is the equivalent of walking up to someone in a bar and asking for sex without buying a drink first. The blind request should be a warning that the person usually exhibits stalker-like qualities.
Female #1: Ugh, ever since I put up that new profile picture, I've been inundated with Blind Requests. I've just been ignoring them.

Female #2: Yeah, watch out for John Doe, he's a total stalker and will send you one for sure.
