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?

Implied an old teacher was a bit of a letch...
I was in my old secondary school's group on Facebook. Someone had started a thread about old teachers and when someone mentioned my old head of year and how he used to bounce up and down on the sides of his feet and all his assemblies were about death, that landslide in Wales or Anne Frank. I casually asked if the rumour that he asked a pupil (all-girls' school, by the way) to go on holiday with him.

Months go by and I get a letter (delivered to my parents' old address and redirected) FROM MY OLD HEADMISTRESS telling me off! The fact I was now 24 and no longer at the school didn't seem to make a difference to her. So I send her an email saying it wasn't me who wrote it and was, in fact, someone else using my account. Yeah, I bet she really fell for that one. I can be a bit of a bellend sometimes.

Disclaimer: My old head of year was probably not into teenage girls. With the possible exception of Anne Frank. The thought of what he did whilst reading her diary doesn't bear thinking about...

Hmmm
I think I would have done Anne Frank.

Sophie Surely?
Err, that was a pun on Sophie Scholl. Google images and wikipedia will sate your curiosity. Good egg as well, which counts for a lot.

Id have posted it
the letter I mean with a reply telling her the beauty of the internet is I can say anything I want to about anybody I want to and the beauty of being a grown-up is I can now go about practicing all the hypocrisy I learned from her and her lapdogs tyrannical regime in school.

You make a good point...
I did think it was a bit creepy that she still thought of us as her pupils, nearly 10 years after we left the place.

And our head of year really was a slimy little man.
