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?

Never own a Credit Card if your gonna be drunk!
This is a simple fact of life... if your gonna be drunk on a regular basis... never have a credit card to hand!
This takes place in 2003, shortly after starting my first proper job. Being my first proper job, I found myself having a large amount of funds every month, compared to only my £50 a month outgoing. And what would any other self-respecting young 19 year old lad do in this position? That's right! Go out and blow it on partying and boozing... which I did... in copious amounts :-)
This was all good at the time, and have many good memories from the time when money knew no limits.
Anyway, around about the same time, I had acquired a credit card for "emergency" purposes, and kept it on my person for "emergencies".
So, one particular night out, I was "having it large" as they say, and really putting back the drink. Lager, shorts, shots, the lot. Not helping to the matter was the fact it was a student night out, and drinks were about 80-90p a pint.
That night seemed to go on forever, and I eventually got home around 4:30am, and the next thing I know I'm waking up in bed, still fully clothed, with a very heavy hangover. After many hours of receovery, I make it over my PC (being only 2 foot away from my bed, you'd imagine this would be an easy take). First thing I checked was my emails, but two of them stood out for me, big-style!
First email was from FaceParty, telling me that my new account had been successfully been set up, and was ready for me to start filling in. This was no big deal, the account was empty except for a couple of details which had been misspelt (obviously the drink at work).
The second email was a bit more dubious. Turned out that in my drunken state when I had rolled in, I had gotten my credit card out and paid for the Adult Verification for FaceParty for some reason. Although, with a major upshot to this right gaffe of mine, I did now have full access to all the hotties "private" pictures on FaceParty. Some of these photos were fully nude photos, even some pictures of full on action, or even possing with "toys being placed" about their bodies.
Out of an absolute gaffe costing me £30 at the time, I had actually got myself a nice little bonus out of it for a year.
Length? About a years worth of nude hotties...
