Social Networking GaffesFreddy 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?

Bloody FacebookIt wasn’t my gaff, but I bore the brunt of it.
My former (this is important) best friend of 10 years logs into Facebook one day. Listed on the left-hand side of her screen are the networks of her various friends. My network wasn’t listed, as it had been pushed off by more robust networks.
She thought I had ‘unfriended’ her. Instead of checking to see whether or not we were still ‘virtual’ friends, she immediately fired off an email calling me a sexing ladypart, amongst various other sweary rants about what a bitch I am for cruelly unfriending her on Facebook. Panicked, I log in – lo, we are still ‘friends’. Silly bint was mistaken.
One would and should say ‘oopsie’ at such a gaff, but instead she blocked me. And that’s how bloody Facebook ended 10 years of best friendship.
We haven’t spoken since, but she did track down my B3ta profile! Howdy, you crazy bitch.
