Oh Dear

How does one back out of a verbal contract made in jest? It’s not binding, right?

    Yes you will. A big pink spotty virus that forwards obscene messages to everyone in your address book.

    I’ll have you know that verbal contracts are legally binding. And anyway, it wasn’t verbal from what I gather – so if someone has a screenshot of the original conversation then proof right thar.

    You’re not supposed to Clem. You’re supposed to abstain!

    It could be worse… it could be MySpace.

    The contract you made isn’t binding at all. But, ignoring it would, of course, make you spineless. :P

    Change the contract! Make 200 26 or thereabouts. :D

    Ooo, a verbal contract is hard to get out of. :P Just simply refuse, even after the goal have been achieved. :D Why would you joke about getting a Facebook account? It’s a social network for stalkers. I have one but that’s besides the point. :P

    I imagine verbal contracts aren’t legally binding, unless they have you on recording. I hope.
    Oh!
    Excuse me, I have some charities to sign up for.

    I don’t care if you don’t join. :P

    Really, I don’t. And I’ll be happy for you because you won’t be getting 2 million invites for 30 zillion applications. Enjoy it.

    This post just made it even more difficult for you to back out…not that you could. Ha, ha, ha!

    Not legally binding, I think.

    I shall join later, when I’m at home. :>

    *comes out of hiding* I joined the group just to be mean. Only half-kidding. C: I’d have to agree with Aaron . . . just be glad it’s not on a website like MySpace. D:

    Curiosity made me open a new tab and sign into Facebook. Now the question is, why did it immediately log me into the jemjabella appreciation society?? oh wait–it’s because of the tinyurl link I clicked. I thought facebook got telepathic for a minute or something.

    Hahaha. Good luck, Jem. Sorry, not joining though. Will check my news feed now that I’m signed in and all (sigh).

    Good luck, Jem. Sorry, not joining though.

    No no, you misunderstand, I don’t want to join. I somehow got myself into this mess :| Like Chantelle said though, to back out now would be spineless (which I’m not)

  33. Ashley said:

    Like I said, I joined but feel dirty for doing so. Guess I could un-join. :D Poor you for getting yourself into this mess in the first place. :D

  34. Stephanie said:

    I understand; I just didn’t phrase very well. It was supposed to be a bit of a sarcastic “sorry, not joining” your get-jem-to-join group. Didn’t work.

  35. Jem said:
    On 09 Jul at 9:37 pm

    Ah right, no that makes sense. I’m just being thick ;)

    I joined… :) I shall invite a few of my internet friends who are also on Facebook ;)

    I joined, but then thought better of it. I’d rather you join Facebook on your own accord than by force.

  39. Alexandra said:

    HAHAHAHAHA JEM, 80 people already?!? And it’s been 5 days!

    Ah, it’s alright. You need to join Facebook so I can say “it’s complicated with Jem Turner,” since we’re soul-mates and all.
