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?

Counterstrike bitchslapping
A group of guys I used to work with all used to meet up on the one Counterstrike server and all engaged on stupidly late frag-festing. I personally enjoyed it as it was an oppertunity to stab my manager in the face, and laugh at him the next day (happy days). There was a clan formed from these; I just used to play for a laugh though and never got involved in that.

The admin of the server however was a total cock. He used the tag of the two-headed guy from Hitchhikers Guide and was a real bastard to get on with. Most of us put up with him as we had a laugh with everyone else, but he would always do something which would tick off any player on a regular basis. The guy as far as I was concerned was a bit of a tosser.

So one afternoon, I'm in the house between shifts and stick CS on. Ok, sign onto their server and it's the beginning of a new map with the house in the garden and 4 hostages (can't remember it's name, I think it was CS_Estate). Im on the good guys side and I get a storming start. In fact, by the end of the first 4 rounds I'm 20 kills up. While this is happening, the admin is arguing with 2 frenchies who are playing the game as well. This server is an english speaking server only, and ol' Two-heads is admin shouting like no tomorrow. Me for a laff, I do a quick shoutout "Ou eh le kebab?" and rather than kick the other Frenchies, I get kicked first.
For a kebab comment.
I'm a bit pissed at this.
So I go onto the clan forum and give them a log of what happened. The clan leader comes on and gives me a huge mouthful about how I goaded them on and was abusive towards "his authority". Not having this thinks I. After typing a few comments here and there I called it day with them. A game is a thing which is meant to be a laugh with your mates and relaxing, not something to be bullied through by some bigot.

Epilogue; It turned out that the rest of the clan were a bit unhappy with his attitude beforehand and after this half of the clan left to other servers. A few weeks later he left too and no-one heard from him.
Then out of the blue something extraordinary occured. A new person registers on the clan's forum claiming to be Two-head's neighbour, stating that he heard about him playing CS alot for this clan. He then goes onto say how Two-head hasn't been on for a while as he recently died in a car accident. A few of the clan were really shocked by this news, and obviously a bit upset for him. He was a bastard, but he didn't deserve that.
That was until they did an I.P. trace and found it was posted from his house, it was him who posted the death message about himself. Fucking weirdo; he funnily enough didn't win any friends around for posting that.
