Steps: I was in Ul'dah, happily crafting away, chopping through the log, file file file chop chop chop... when some guy I didn't know from Adam started asking me to be his friend. I ignored him (just regular I'm-busy-here ignore). He kept asking. I kept ignoring. He eventually sent me a friend request. I can't deny it. It's supposed to go away after a week but I've had it for months, I even took a 40-day break and it's still there.
I did /ignore him at some point as well, this may be relevant. Maybe the friend notification doesn't go away properly if it's from someone in your blacklist?

And I change mice and keyboards every time I move to another room...
