to wonder how you'd deal with this

My friend was in my car and my phone was charging.

She started going through it looking on Facebook at the profiles of people she doesn't get on with.

So how would you deal with it?

She must surely have shown some other signals about her disregard for privacy before this?

blackcatgreeneyes · 02/03/2015 12:35

That's a really unpleasant post Midnight; says more about you than me.

I don't know her too well Cozie

Then that makes her actions worse - but yours correspondingly easier. You don't need to worry about hurting her feelings at all from now on. Just assume the worst from her and act accordingly.

Assume the worst? She picked her phone up and browsed through some public profiles on FB.

You're acting like she force-fed the baby arsenic.

I'd just say "hey nosey put my phone down"

I don't think I'd spend hours analysing it....

I'd then put a swipe code on my phone incase I lose it and someone does far worse than have a peek at my exposed accounts.

Would you feel happy if a relative stranger in your car opened your purse and started rifling through your diary? Because that's pretty well what this woman did. It shows a staggering disregard for personal boundaries to my mind.

SaucyJack · 02/03/2015 13:14

She was looking at other people's public Facebook posts cozie......

SaucyJack · 02/03/2015 13:15

I do it all the time on DP's iPod.

EveBoswell · 02/03/2015 13:37

It's like reading private letters ....

I'd take myself away from this friendship.

But presumably they weren't public facebook profiles/posts, I assume they were only visible on OP's phone because she was logged in to fb and the people in question are her friends - they might have 'friends only' profiles as I do. If the profiles were public anyway the OP's passenger could just view them on her own phone or computer and wouldn't feel the need to use OP's.

It's bloody rude anyway. What if she'd accidentally 'liked' something and it looked like the OP had done it? That could cause problems.

What's wrong with that?

I use my friend's account to check up on my old boyfriends :)

Number3cometome · 02/03/2015 13:55

How do you know what she was looking at if you were driving?

I would have said "PUT MY PHONE DOWN"
