I sent a friend request on FB as I was falling asleep

I remember the post about the MNetter who tagged herself into the baby photo. Is that in Classics? I'd love to read it again, it was so mortifying and funny.

im talking to this guy on snapchat. Ive never met him but ive been talking to him for about 4 days. We are planning on going on a double date and he seems excited about it. He’s super flirty and I don’t mind it because I really like him but when he’s at school he leaves me on delivered for hours and hours and I can see he’s online. When I get home from school I usually text him again or send him a snap to get his attention and he usually responds asap, then we talk back and forth for a while. In the morning I always say “good morningggg” and he usually responds right away but I feel like if I don’t say it first he won’t say anything. Is this just normal for guys to do this or is he not interested?

I allowed my mum to befriend me on Facebook when I moved abroad, several years after I first started using it. One day I was back at her house and found these little photo albums she had got printed. She had basically been stalking through my old photos, saving them and printing them off. Doing the same with my cousins' photos too. I was mortified,although nothing incriminating was there. It really stopped me posting many photos after that.

Even just reading that makes me want to claw at my face like a madwoman.

I am crying 😂😂 Can you imagine the panic.

Although not as bad as when my friend was new to Snapchat and tried to send a dirty photo to her boyfriend and accidentally set it to go out on her public story. She turned up at the local pub that night and half the bar had seen her fanny.

I was once having a nosey at the wedding pics of an ex. The relationship with him was pretty much based on fucking great sex, although we took trips, went out loads and had mutual friends.
Years had passed, we were literally oceans apart, and I had children with my then and now DP. I was looking at the wedding photos, lots posted by mutual friends, ex's wife was tagged so I had a nosey at her profile. You know where this is going.
In my defence I had a toddler and a newborn and was housebound and a bit stir crazy but I didn't realise until a few YEARS later that I had inadvertently sent her a friend request. I was horrified, absolutely mortified.
She had politely ignored it. 😳

I did exactly the same! Was also around 15 years ago and I worked with the lad at the time. Thought I was searching for ‘James Anderson’ and actually accidentally set my status as ‘James Anderson’.

At the time on primitive smartphones with primitive Facebook you could upload statuses but not delete them until you got on a proper PC and I worked at a shop with only the shop systems. What a day that was.

I did that the very first time I used FB too. Luckily it was just some woman I had read about and decided to look up their profile, not a bloke I fancied. Thank God. Oh the shame. 😂

Accidental liking a post is SO easily done and this is the reason everyone needs a fake account purely for nosiness purposes and for posting in public groups if you are fond of your privacy. Imagine the horror being caught out looking at your ex boyfriends wife's fb story when you didn't realise that the person posting a story can see who has viewed it? Or accidentally sending her a friends request?

I posted an old nostalgic pic or story of something on Instagram and a random chap I don’t know personally but who’s posts I sometimes like, liked it, Somehow it kind of sent an emoji message to my inbox. Anyway I nodded off while scrolling through and accidentally phoned him at 2 in the morning via instagram, which I never even knew was a thing! And he’s married! Mortifying especially when trying to explain what happened in a follow up message! Thank heavens he saw the funny side!

Whats the spare room thread please

Hilarious 😂

I might have been on the other side of this. Had a facebook friend from my long-estranged (40 years) uncle. Thought, fair enough, accepted and sent a little message referring to the friend request saying nice to hear from him.

He replied saying he didn’t recall sending a friend request, but he was so incompetent with tech ‘anything could happen’. Added a few newsy bits.

Ignored and blocked. Prick.

Before I knew how fb worked, yonks ago, I accidentally liked multiple photos of a new colleague’s girlfriend (yes, I was idly stalking). I’m still blocked from her profile to this day!
She must have asked him, ‘Who IS this complete weirdo on your friends list liking my pics?’

Oh God, the embarrassment - and it’s never been mentioned. I’m feeling it all over again!

my then 2 year old was watching a Sesame Street Song she liked and sent it to my new boss at 7am on a Sunday morning.

how on earth she did it we’ll never know.

he watched the video and sent a message back to her. That’s when I realised what had happened.

as for being drunk and Facebook the least said the better!

I fall asleep every night literally on here, invariably my finger has accidentally brushed the “report” button randomly.

Living in fear that though I'm a decent upstanding citizen but MNHQ are on to me. Feel like some sort of criminal.

Apparently Facebook is for us oldies anyway according to a recent course I went on. So I wouldn't worry

I did that but with an ex's new girlfriend's name

My toddler has clicked the "is this available" auto-message button on FB marketplace before... I've had to send messages to say I'm sorry but I'm not actually interested, it was my small child... 🤦‍♀️

Same toddler has also been responsible for some random "pocket" (suppose that should say "toddler") dials... this once led to a random but funny and lovely text conversation with the lady who owned our youngest cat before he came to us as a kitten, about 6 years prior to the "toddler dial"!

I've sent two facebook PMs whilst falling asleep, both containing only thumbs up emojis, one was to a good friend who found it hilarious, but the other was to a rather po-faced lady from a craft group I'm in, whoops!

We have a friend who's son has profound special needs and has been in and out of hospital. When dd was 3yo, somehow she changed my FB profile to a pic of him and his family. She did the same thing to my whatsapp profile pic. I didn't twig until I started getting messages, asking if he was OK. 😳
I changed it swiftly and had to explain to friend what had happened.

My babysitter told me she couldn't babysit one night as she was going to the funeral of her friend who had recently died (she was 19, Very sad). I accidentally liked her message with a laughing face emoji.
It was by scrolling on my phone. Kept trying to delete it, in the end messaged her to apologise, and she said 'it's ok, I know you didn't mean to do that reaction, it's just that you're old and you don't know how to use your phone".
(I was 40 at the time, but I took it.)
We're still in touch and she's lovely!

The baby tagging thing had me 😆 😆

How embarrassing!

I've done this but even worse 😬 I accidentally changed my status to the name of a male friend I didn't fancy, but he fancied me 🫣 also once wrote a text moaning about something he'd done and accidentally sent it to him instead of a mutual friend. I clearly shouldn't be allowed a phone!

This is why my phone is not allowed in the bedroom.
