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?

In defense of that
I really do think it needs to be said that having kids does change you on some fundamental level. I don't say that in a self-righteous condescending way, but as an observation on myself and others I've known. Somehow your world-view shifts in subtle ways when you've had kids. I don't know that I can explain it.
On the other hand, people who use that as a way to appear superior to people who haven't had kids do deserve to be shot, and to have their children referred to as "fuck trophies".

of course having kids changes you
but indeed, as you say, what it doesn't do is bless you with some uniquely insightful and superior perspective on the world. And I will continue to point that out to the sanctimonious fuckers who think it does.
