Facebook and your thoughts.

Here's an interesting one. A while ago I was getting shitty texts from some girl who I apparently was friends with. I had lost all my numbers but I was getting these from a number I hadn't assigned a name to. All attempts to call said number resulted in answerphone and/or ignoring my call.
Now, a while later, I whack the number into Google out of curiosity and low-and-behold! There is the perpetrator. Turns out it was a girl I fingered at a party when half-pissed and she seemed fully-pissed at me for moving on from her psychotic behaviour and crazy ways. She had put her number on a wall of a group for people who had "lost their phone". Lawl.
Anyone else got some fucked up Facebook stories or bitchiness? I really don't understand why anyone would put their info on a publically accessible website. it's beyond me. Did your parents teach you nothing as a kid growing up with "stranger danger"? Goddammit :facepalm:

"Going out and about? Enter your phone number here and get Facebook updates on your mobile!"
How about, fuck off?
Most people just trust Facebook without question. I beleive it's EVIL for Totsean but still a great tool to exploit. Try Googling her address or school. You might get lucky.
And another thing - putting all your personal info at the top of your profile like a roll of honour
Some people put even more info up there. I am really tempted to start using this data for my own gain...
If you're really smart you might even be able to find out their address! I mean, it's crazy simple to find out my neighbours address! I just have to look out my window and BAM! 3 someplace avenue! It's crazy the things people put on their doors! :rolleyes:
What can you get on Facebook that you can't do by rooting through someone's trash/talking to them?
I do agree people put too much info on there but I guess that's more a problem with the person, not really a Facebook issue.
Not a direct attack on you by the way, just saying.
This. I can agree with BaconPie when he says it's more the person than Facebook, but it just seems like Facebook nags and nags, like when a new user signs up they have the little green progress bar on the side telling you how the progress of your new profile is going and what not, which I think gets a lot of people to start putting up pics and information.
My BS Twitter account wont even suggest trends and people for me to follow because it's still suggesting that I put up a new profile pic.
Thanks to people wanting everyone to know and tell them Happy Birthday on Facebook, I've been able to get the birth dates of a lot of my classmates from school and use them to be anonymous (somewhat) on school systems (they set everyone's default passwords as their dob)
You know what? I actually started doing that before I had FB. Now I have deactivated my old account, just before I delete it sometime this week, I think I will!
