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?

More work stories. It's where I live.
We used to have a part time lad come in, who I hated. He was one of these Asian "player" types who was all mouth and flash, and was convinced he was god's gift to women. I absolutely detested him.
One day me and him are sitting in the staff room with a couple of our female staff who are both very intelligent and unfortunately for them, both absolutely stunning. They are also both very much into wildlife conservation and other Bill Oddie type stuff. So this abrasive young shit decided that an anecdote about animals might get him some fun. Imagine my utter joy when, in a moment of absolute silence, he pipes up with:
"Yeah, so I was watching this program on nature and shit yeah. This man, he shot a lion right through the head. It was well wicked!"
Every so often, something happens in life that makes me take the pistol out my mouth :-)

something similar happened when i was bar working and there was a cute waitress i used to lunch with, unfortunately we needed another barman and had the same type of asian "playa" as you, naturally he was all over and asking me for tips on how to "get that shit" as he politely phrased it.
Now knowing she loves kittens, i remembered the immortal wordsof H.L.Mencken and i told our "playa" that she hates kittens and loves dogs.
so naturally dipshit "playa" goes over talking to her about this time he saw a dog attack a kitten and how it was funny. cue instant tears followed by a furious left hook (also taught me never to fuck with her).
those immortal words? "Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats" ... ok mine was verbally, but it mademe feel better, so nice one badongism i know exactly how you feel!
