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?

MyBook and FaceSpace and other such twaddle...
I've got a MySpace account that I set up because my best mate insisted I do it - I think I logged in once and never went back. My (now) wife set up Facebook for me because she had it and thought I'd love it. I hate it. every single thing about it. Yes, it's nice that she put up all the wedding photos and tagged everyone in every single picture, but frankly I don't want to talk to people I went to school with, or ex girlfriends.
I got an email from an ex of some ten years ago and, given that I wouldn't piss on her if she were on fire, what am I supposed to do? Evidently, if I reject a request on Facebook, I'm up there with Saddam Hussein or Gary Glitter, so all I can do is ignore it. But then I get 47 more. Arsewank.
Worse still is the fit ex that I never wanted to split up with - when she emails me out of the blue, my missus gives me grief over it - so, thanks for setting up the profile for me hun - I appreciate being put in the doghouse over an unsolicited message from someone I dated five years ago and haven't spoken to in four years.
As for gaffes, well, I used some dating sites many moons ago (I met my missus on one) and made the mistake of confusing the make-new-friends site "friendfinder.com" with "adultfriendfinder.com" at one point (ok, I was pissed and clicked the wrong link in Google... Still, there was some fun to be had at times, so not all bad!
