Social Networking GaffesFreddy Woo writes, "My school bully just friended me on Facebook!" No doubt he pokes him, and then demands his lunch money.
Personally, last month a scantily clad young woman confused me with her fiance, with whom I share a first and last name. I'm still not sure she's noticed, but she's going to be mortified when she does.
What's the biggest mistake you've made using a social networking site?

Caught OutMy ex-girlfriend had a few trust issues; so much so that she forbid me to sign up to Facebook, which I proceded to do anyway. I had to play dumb when people would mention in the pub my 'hilarious comments' on photos etc...
I was caught out when she herself signed up with the name Sophie Parker (nothing like her real name) complete with a stunning girl as the profile picture. I should have checked this beautiful lady's friends list before accepting, but neglegted to do so. Sophie had 0 friends, which I thought was weird and within minutes of accepting the friend request I had a message in my inbox.
Did Sophie want to meet up? Did she just want to say hello and introduce herself? No; She wanted to tell me I was a lying bastard....
I suppose you could say she had a right not to trust me, but really she had nothing to worry about. Thankfully this was the thing that ended the relationship.
We're now 'real' facebook friends....

Clickfor sympathy. My Ex was the same with me about facebook but I signed up regardless.
Yep, we ended up splitting too although that wasn't down to FB, more about lack of trust...

rewind -your girlfriend "forbid" you to sign up for a crappy online website. Forbid? What age were you? 15?
