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?

God damn those Facebook status...
So last Wednesday I was working nights, well should have been, but I decide i'm going for a few drinks early afternoon before heading into work.

Being of the modern "binge drinking you've-got-a-drink-problem" youth a couple of quick pints turned into a session which lasted all afternoon and into the late evening, suffice to say I didn't go to work.

I get home about 1am, 3 hours after I should have gone to work and update my Facebook status to say I was completely shitfaced and that if I got beaten by my friend at pool again I'd shove the pool queue up his arse.

I went to work Thursday night and had my "return to work" interview with the manager, telling him some bullshit story of being majorly sick and having a weird 24-hour bug. What a mistake, just as the interview was finishing he said "so how many games of pool did you lose yesterday? I suggest next time you bunk work you don't tell Facebook what you're upto - especially when your friends with half the management team."

Bollocks.

I still have to hide my face when I see him.
Oops.

i hate to break it to you
but you're a tard for letting your managers add you.
i NEVER confimr anyone in a position to drop me in the shit on facebook. would you socialise with em? then chances are they arent your friends.
this is what happens whehn you try to be the most popular.

Completely the opposite where I work
My manager is on facebook, and added me. Considering we at work possibly may have something of a drinking problem, facebook helps to at least keep it to an organised drinking problem.

Perhaps...
But my problem is that I've been there for sometime, and the members of management I am friends with weren't management at the time.

They were just plods like me.

I commend your stupidity
That was quite an amazing thought that your management mates wouldn't see it...

But the point is..
I was too drunk to realise what I was doing...
