To be so embarrassed?

Was facebook stalking a new male colleague. No reason really, just wanted to find out more about him.
Not sure how on earth I managed it but I ended up sharing his profile photo on my own page. Been up for at least an hour and sure people from work have seen.
Literally dying of embarrassment

Actually just thinking op - just own it, we all stalk people. Own it, joke about it and laugh with them!

I definitely don’t do this and think anyone that does is very weird and obviously has nothing better to do in their lives.

Admitting you’re stalking the new colleague on SM is very weird and the replies would be much less light hearted if this was a middle aged male stalking a new younger female employee.

Comport yourself, woman.

She looked at his FB page. She didn't boil his pet bunny, tape him to a 4 poster bed in her basement and smash his ankles to smithereens with a hammer whilst forcing him to listen Every Breath You Take on endless repeat.

I was wondering how boring life must be without a bit of the classic Facebook stalking 🤣

20viona · 19/01/2023 20:23

Oh this is hilarious I'm so sorry 🤣

CoffeeLover90 · 19/01/2023 20:24

I'm actually crying. I remember the post about the snitch of a phone shouting out the blokes address (just why would you) 😂 But the mention of someone tagging themselves as the baby, its broke me. Absolute gold.

BatshitBanshee · 19/01/2023 19:24

I remember that!

Omg @ToTheMax0 I feel your pain. This will make you stronger. Style it out.

If anybody mentions it at work, just laugh like it's hilarious. Reject the narrative that you're embarrassed.

I read a mumsnet post ages ago where a poster had been facebook stalking her ex, who had recently got married and had a baby. There was a picture on his profile of him, his wife, and their new infant daughter; and the poster somehow managed to tag herself as the baby.

Omg this has killed me off, I couldn't even laugh out loud because I was holding DS who had literally just fallen asleep so I had to do a silent internal laugh which meant his head was bobbing about on my chest.
So funny 😂
Just imaging hovering over the new family photo and seeing the ex wife 'Jane Smith' popping up as a little icon 🤣🤣🤣 made my night this post

Bpdqueen · 19/01/2023 20:32

Omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣 i literally think ur just gonna have to own it, make a joke about it 🤣

ForgottenNurseryRhymes · 19/01/2023 20:34

The reactions to the LinkedIn stalking being noticeable peppered throughout embarrassing stories just make this thread even more fabulous

Mrssalvatore123 · 19/01/2023 20:36

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen on MN! Had silent tears streaming down my cheeks whilst getting my twins to sleep.

Back in the MySpace days I wrote an entry about a boyfriend chucking me, and I was quite rude about him. Of course he stalked me and read it.

Youreeavinalaff · 19/01/2023 19:38

This is the most I've laughed in weeks, I have tears streaming down my face, thank you everyone for sharing your hilariously/cringe stories 🤣🤣🤣

Oh me too!

MaureenSowerbuttsCardi · 19/01/2023 20:39

This is very funny but why didn't you just delete it @ToTheMax0 ?

Hahahahaha this has killed me off 🤣🤣

IamnotSethRogan · 19/01/2023 20:40

Oh you can front this out. He would have easily popped up in your friend suggestions because Facebook is so creepy it knows when someone new is near you and whoops you fiddled with your phone and thus happened

Slutdrop · 19/01/2023 20:42

Omg 😂 the baby tag story. I've just been told to 'shut the hell up' by my DS (adult) because I'm laughing so loudly 😂😂😂. Thank you, it's really lightened up my evening 😁

When I say I have tears of laughter going on right now 🤣🤣🤣

DancinOnTheCeiling · 19/01/2023 20:44

Hahaha the baby tag story and the phone saying the address out loud story 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

OP where are you?? Poor you, I’d die of shame but agree you need to own it. Do you fancy him?

Dinosaurhearmeroar · 19/01/2023 20:47

oh my god I feel your pain! To
make you feel better I once searched on Facebook for the guy I liked and typed his name in what I thought was the search bar. Woke up to a million likes - yep, I typed his name as my status and it had been up there for hours.

😂

Bluekerfuffle · 19/01/2023 20:47

Christmaspyjamas · 19/01/2023 19:07

Oh no that is embarrassing.

But in an hour probably that many people won't have seen it.

Could you share all your other colleagues profile pics too one at a time? It would still be odd but at least would be democratic.

🤣🤣🤣

DestinysGrandchild · 19/01/2023 20:48

Just woke the my son up laughing at this thread ffs🤣🤣🤣🤣

chevvyroo · 19/01/2023 20:48

I think if was going to feign hacking, I would post a series of spammy links to knock-off sunglasses adds, or MLM schemes.

This happened to me!!! My husband’s ex tagged herself in the photo right on our DC. It was a FB photo of the three of us and she tagged herself in it, hahah! They hadn’t spoken for years and weren’t even a couple for that long before they split up. I suppose it just shows we all stalk a bit on FB… Heard nothing else from her and presumed it was just a little mishap…
