Not entirely sure why that happened and the only theory I can come up with is that they removed you from their waiting room but they remained in yours. I would try to accept them several times with the same result and just would end up removing them all together. Only just noticed this thread...

Yes, that's exactly it. The accept/decline entries in your WR don't have a counterpart in the corresponding WRs. I've just confirmed this to be the case for DonnaZZ's (apparently) deleted friend, and it also appears to be the case here as well: http://the-secret-society.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:529932.

When you accept someone from your WR an entry is immediately made in you local "cached" FL in anticipation that the same will happen to the online "master" list. However, when the accept friend status is sent to the servers it generates an error because the database doesn't have the entry for the other WR. So the result of that error is that the friend is deleted from the cached FL and put back in the waiting room; for the brief time the friend is in the FL, gifting and visiting is possible.

This, no doubt, also accounts for some reports I've seen of gifts received from players not in the recipient's FL.

I would recommend that those who suffer from this submit a support ticket with G5:

Perhaps they may be able to tidy up the database entries so that acceptance is possible. If not, I supsect the only solution will be to delete these entries.
