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?

Assuming you're serious
it's a private message on here. Click on your messages link at the top and take note of the URL that comes up.

I've been chuckling
on and off for what must be a good 20years about Gaz Top. What kind of monumental bell-end calls themself Gaz Top? Ah, I see - Gaz Top. That kind of bell-end.

I saw him referred to recently as Gareth 'Gaz Top' Jones. Which in turn reminded me of Oran 'Juice' Jones.

And thus the circle of bell-endery was complete.

As you were.

Why the word Gaz?

Gaz mythology
I don't know how I heard this, but apparently in the early days of b3ta there was a poster called Gaz. He would send stuff to people via IM, hence the term "I've been gazzed".

Of course, this could be false. I have no idea how I came to believe it.

GAZ IM ME
was how I rememebered it, something from the FAQ I believe? (Long before this place had a PM feature). Not sure. 4rthur simply states:

GAZ IM ME : Gaz Eye Emm Mee
What was originally in the b3ta FAQ as an example
1 oh shit : well I fucked that up, didn't I

I use the word "gaz" all the time.
And by "all the time", I mean in work emails. "Any problems, gaz me..."
