(is "inappropriateness" a word?? and [words])This can be a thread to list your own experiences...because I'd like to hear them.But I think I just had an experience myself (although I don't really mind it):So my mom emails me to tell me that my old primary bank called her looking for me, but they couldn't give any information to her (they said it wasn't bad, just had some questions), but that I should give them a call. So she sent the girl's name and number and I called her today.First...the call wasn't anything big. When I moved to SC, I switched to a bank that had a lot more branches in the area, but I kept my credit card with the original bank and closed my checking account. The girl was just asking questions about why I switched and were there any problems with their bank, etc. Then we talked about my credit card (the limit use to be ridiculously low, but apparently they have bumped it up and have a good rewards program now, so I might start using it again). I asked her some basic questions I had about leaving a credit card dormant for a while, stuff like that. Overall, it was a very pleasant 10 minute conversation. She seemed like a really sweet girl over the phone, and at the end we had a very "chipper" end to the conversation where she accidentally said, "Well _____, good talking to you today, see ya later!"I thought it was funny...as everyone accidentally spouts out the incorrect farewell every now and then. Then I get the email about the credit card stuff we talked about...again, no biggie. THEN...I get a facebook friend request from the girl.Wtf?? I honestly wouldn't care if the girl was busted...but the fact that she's actually cute makes it bother me even less. But HOLY inappropriate...especially from a business standpoint. That's a pretty easy reason to get fired (especially in NC, where this girl's office is...and no, I won't divulge the location).Anybody got any similar stories? I mean...there's always the "I met this person out, didn't even give them my name...but somehow they facebooked me the next day" stuff. But

^really? I was using it as a "HOLY shit" type reference. But I guess your "wholly" could also be used.[Edited on February 6, 2009 at 5:23 PM. Reason : .]

The way I see itFacebook has kind of blurred the line between social and professional livesIn its infancy a few years ago, this could be viewed as more inappropriate because people mainly just used facebook for social purposesBut now, so many professionals use it as well that her friend request could be argued as being the equivalent of her handing you a business card...from the nature of your call, it seems to be more than that, but if she ever had to defend it to her boss, i think she would have a valid argument on that frontMy two cents

Ha! Something very similar happened to me- I applied for a mvp card at a grocery store in Charleston this summer and there was an email waiting for me on facebook when I got home:I was the guy that worked in the grocery story that you went into earlier yesterday. I'm sorry but as most curious people are they read the names of the people that sign up for cards and I just remembered yours. I just wanted to say to you that you kinda stunned me. You are really pretty and I just wanted to tell you that. Really, I should have said that to your face but, I kinda chickened out. Anyway, this is kinda weird and I am sorry. I just wanted to ask you if you could add me as your friend on facebook and maybe we can hang out. I know that you live in NC. Take care..Like, he used his iPhone and emailed me RIGHT THEN. It took me ten minutes to get back to my apartment.It was so shady. I first called the cooperate number to report it (I was WAY creeped out, dude had my address and stuff) and then called the store. They were supposed to send me a gift card but never came through. I think he got fired.

One time this girl from my old high school apparantly pissed one of her friends off. So, her friend goes on her computer before divulging how mad she was at said girl and takes a shit ton of incredibly trashy slutty pictures of her and creates a facebook account and added everyone from my graduating class, the one before it, and the one after it. the comments from everyone were great"looks like you've done well for yourself ashley...."

I encourage all females I meet in professional settings to stalk me. I even sign credit card receipts with my myspace info.
2/6/2009 5:55:22 PM
^^^Why would you put your real name and address on an MVP card application anyway?They can't possibly know the difference, so just make up something.
2/6/2009 9:03:42 PM
so when I forgot my card the next time they could look it up. I wasn't expecting to get stalked cause of it.

Don't look a gift whore in the mouth. Stick your cock in it.

I have to admit that I have at least run a Facebook search for people that I have had business interactions with.

I stalk the fuck out of people on facebook. At uncw you can go online and get a list of people in your section as soon as you register for the class. So before the semester begins, I always pick some names from the list and facebook them. Then as soon as I find out someone's name from class, I facebook them. I'm just very curious about people.
