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?

Not my faux-pas, but...
I've been rather fastidiously avoiding adding anyone from my high school as they were, to be blunt, a bunch of utter twunts. I was a very unhappy teenager there. Very rich private school girls + me (not so rich & a fan of squat parties), need I say more?
One girl in particular, who was a 'friend', over the years took advantage of what I shall call my then rather passive nature to royally screw me over to benefit herself. Her crowning glory was, after I had been off school for a while & was in counselling, one night drunkenly calling me and yelling that she wished I'd kill myself. Charming, n'est ce-pas?
It's now 7 years later, funnily enough we've not spoken for around that amount of time. To my shock and great amusement, she tried to add me on Facebook a month or so ago, along with a message that said something along the lines of "we should totally catch up, it's been ages! why did we lose contact anyway?"
Utter, utter T-WAT!

I agree
I've never joined up with anything for similar reasons. I hated you all, so why bother?

This annoys me too
People who made your life utter hell just forget about it and then try to be your friend years later irritate me so much. They just see it as nothing and assume you're going to welcome them with open arms. Do these people ever realise how much hurt they caused?
