I was having lunch with some friends and we got on the topic of Facebook. I was teasing one of my friends because we all received an invite from her to join Facebook. And she said, “OMG, let me tell you what happened.” So basically she was finally opening up a Facebook account and it asked her if she wanted to send a request to the contacts in her address book. She initially started checking off a few contacts but accidentally selected all and hit next. She tried to go back but it was too late. She invited 600 friends to Facebook! From her mother to old bosses to random acquaintances. We were all dying laughing.
I also just recently received an email to my Gmail account from an old college classmate. It was an apology email. Apparently she joined some dating website and it asked if she wanted to invite her contacts in her address book and she accidentally clicked yes. So all her contacts (over 100) received an invite to join some dating website. She was mortified. She apologized and was explaining why she was joining a dating website (which she didn’t need to do) and you could hear her voice of embarrassment. I didn’t care really. I had to approve the invite to join anyways. But I did feel bad for her.
I have another colleague that accidentally sent out a Hottie request to all her Facebook friends. I received one and was like cool, she thinks I’m hot, lol. Well she apologized and said she didn’t mean to send it out to all her contacts. Not like I cared, I thought it was funny.
It’s just like sending an email to the wrong contact or clicking “reply all” when you meant to send it only to one recipient. I know we have all done something like this. Makes you want to crawl underneath a rock and pretend like you don’t know what the computer is.
