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?

My B3ta gaffe and other apocryphal tales.I cocked up royally when I first came here! After posting a few stories on here I started looking at few profiles to get a flavour of the people here. I then found a profile of a girl who liked anime. So I gazzed her, we chatted a little, then I went too far and said "So tell me a little about yourself". It was only after I hit the "sent" button, that I thought, "Hang on, that's a little OVER friendly!". She never replied back! So, if you reading this "Bats", I'm really sorry about my gaffe! I'm a total tool! Just a newbie being a newbie! ^_^
I haven't made or seen any faux pas on Facebook, but (as someone else mentioned) I've seen tons on Friends Reunited. It's amazing how many people left school, thick as a pound of tripe, and made millions!
One other gem I saw was a girl at my school who was "working at her dream job.". The job in question? Team leader at McDonalds! For the record, it's a job and nothing to be ashamed of, but I'm having a little trouble believing that while other children were growing up dreaming of being a racing driver or an astronaut, you were dreaming about flipping burgers and frying chips.....
