This is a question Social Networking Gaffes

Freddy 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?

Facebook=cunts
Now after a particularly messy divorce, followed by two years of ignoring each other in the street I thought I knew where me and my ex stood (on opposite sides of the barriers throwing pointy objects at each other).

She even got the police involved when I behaved innapropriately towards her children (apparently smiling and waving were the wrong thing to do to children you had brought up as your own) and I was subsequently advised that it would be easier for all concerned if I just ignored them in the streets. This broke my heart.

Anyway, after two years of this the eldest of my ex-stepdaughter's invited me to be her friend on Facebook and wrote on my wall that she'd like to get back in contact but would need to keep this secret from her mum.

Unfortunately her mum read her Facebook updates, tracked down the comments and went balistic. To my dismay I saw this litttle girl's profile go from "is being shouted at by her mummy" to "is confused" and then I was taken off her friends list and have heard nothing since.

So, thank you Facebook and your update whoring, you cost me the chance of recovering a loved one.

Bastards.

That seriously sucks.
And you can't even do anything about it. A real shame, that is.

Stepparenting = crap
Got to be the most thankless role in the world, and utterly unappreciated by our legal system.

Don't do it people. You get all the crap bits of being a parent without the benefits*.

* including the financial ones.

Noooooooo
Could you send her a message through the messaging thingy? You dont need to be friends and it won't show up in her newsfeed. Unless she's been told to make her profile so hardcore private, in which case you won't be able to message her, but it's worth a shot surely?

sorry to hear that
i hope you can get back in touch again somehow.
my ex-stepdaughter has invited me to her 18th, while completely blanking her dad. when he finds out, he's probably going to go batshit crazy too.
i keep my facebook wall private so that there are fewer risks.
