Let’s say you really like someone and want to date them but they’re with someone else. And let’s also say you’re a horrible uncaring monster of a human being. Well, now there’s an app for that. The Facebook app Waiting Room lets you actively disrupt the relationship of that special someone. It’s a little similar to an app called Breakup Notifier, which just told you when certain peoples’ relationship status had changed. But Waiting Room goes further.
From Gizmodo:
It also lets you discretely inform someone you’re sitting around waiting for them to become single. You can put a spoken-for person in your “waiting room”: they’ll get an email letting them know, then they can install the app and see everyone out there that’s “waiting on them.”
Facebook will nuke this in short order as well.
