Thread: Facebook Horror Stories

Got any ?

Found this site : http://vote.facebook-horror-stories.com/

When I first joined up on facebook...and they have that "email your friends in your contact list" link. So I hit it thinking that it is going to match me with my friends in my contact list who have facebook.

Wrong. It sends out a mass email to everyone you ever emailed and have stored in your contact list (I constantly add people's email). I've had this particular email account since 2000. So I had 8 years worth of contacts that I mass emailed asking for a Facebook invite.

These were business associates I emailed when I wasn't at work, ex girlfriends, acquaintances, long distance family members.

I figured it out when I started getting emails from people I hadn't had communication with in years saying they weren't interested in being my facebook friend.

Horrified, I did the walk of shame sending out another mass email and explained that I didn't realize I had facebook friend requested my entire contact list.

heh...I got many replies telling me I was full of shit.

To this day (it's been almost a year) I still get a friend add on here and there from someone that I have no idea who they are. Idiot.

Once upon a time i was using facebook on my phone, and i was creeping on this girl who i had a major crush on at the time. I typed her name in the search box and hit enter, but nothing happened. I just figured my phone was being stupid again so i forgot about it. when i got on facebook on my computer a few hours later, i saw that instead of typing her name into the search area, I typed it into my status. her full name was now my status.

That's on the site by the way, not me. I'm good at creeping at a distance.
