@SapphireSun: Haha! Ahhh I almost forgot to mention that she is engaged. Her profile is public and she talks about wedding planning and her FI all the time lol
Oh, this definitely happened to me before. Some once-upon-a-time acquaintance messaged me when he saw pictures of my sister. Who was underage at the time. Major ewwwww. I couldn't block him fast enough.
@parasol: Ugh, I almost just threw up in my mouth.
@CanadianMermaid: THIS!
@Legallyblondiebride: Pretty much my EXACT reaction at the time. Who are these people, and why do they think they could actually pick up women this way?
@Legallyblondiebride: This isn't a FB story, but it's equally creepy. I once got a call from a wrong number. I didn't pick up because I was at work, but the guy left me a message. He said that, based on my voicemail message, I sounded cute, and he wanted me to call him so we could go out. Um, yeah right! And not simply because I was already dating DH at the time. Ugh!
Haha, oh god I think we've allllll been there. A friend of mine from high school went on a friending spree with a ton of my female friends right after he joined the site (we're close, but at the time he hadn't met ANY of my college friends and they didn't know who he was, so it was super uncomfortable)
Also, I got a friend request about a year ago from my verrrrrry first boyfriend when I was 14 (who I dumped because he kissed like a fish and explicitly asked me to use words with no more than 2 syllables because he got "confused"). I figured it'd be fun to catch up - apparently, he thought it would be MORE fun to message me constantly and ask about wedding plans because he's currently planning his and thinks this makes us BFFs. Eik!
Wow. Men can be so creepy sometimes!!
My creepy facebook story: I went to lunch at the Subway across from work. Without thinking, I left my name tag on. There was a long line and to pass the time I briefly chatted with the guy behind me. I didn't even have a real conversation with him or introduce myself. When I got back to work, I saw a facebook message from this guy! Apparently he read my name tag and stalked me onto facebook! Needless to say, from then on I make sure to remove my name tag before going to lunch.
My very first BF they guy who took my virginity found me on facebook. He had moved to my town and wanted to meet up. I haven't seen or heard from him in 22 years and he is married to a beautiful wife and has 3 beautuful daughters. I told him that I was madley in love with my BF and you are married NOT INTERISTED! I deleted him. Well, He googled me and and found my address and showed up at my door unannounced! I swung open the door because my neighbor was coming over. I thought it was her
I was sick as a dog and looked like crap and so glad I did. I let him know how pissed I was for him basicly stalking me and shut the door in his face.
I have since moved and never heard from him again. Thank God!
@parasol: Whaaaat? Holy crap that is WEIRD!!
@jocember: Gotta love the random friending sprees!
@msfahrenheit: Ohmygoodness. Wow that is REALLY creepy.
I was listening to the Elvis Duran radio show and they were talking about how a man talked a little bit to a woman on the bus but never got the nerve to ask her out. Through their talk she mentioned where she worked. He called in asking advice about if he should contact her work and try to find out who she was to ask her out. I know that kind of stuff happens in the movies all the time and we consider it romantic, but in real life you have to be so careful. It is really easy to come off creepy.
Once a girl that my brother had been seeing for a couple months, tops, looked me up on facebook through him because we are not friends and sent me a multi-paragraph message asking me if he still worked at the same job because she was trying to email him. She went on and on about how she made a huge mistake letting him go and needed to contact him because she knew they should be together. I laughed and resisted letting her know he had also been seeing another girl who is now his girlfriend (who we all love) so I doubt he feels the same. He told me to ignore her crazy, so I did. I had only met her once..
@luvmyDwight: He googled you and showed up at your door?? Wow, that is stalker status right there!!
@Legallyblondiebride: Yeah, I know. I was pissed!!!! I feel bad for his wife and kids. I hope it's not a regular habit for him.
And this is why my Facebook is on total lockdown for non-friends and the only things any creepers can see are my wedding photos! LOL.
@linguo42: mine too! I also don't post my address or phone number either!
Wow! No I've never had this happen, but I am sick of all the castle game requests I keep getting from this one guy I went to HS with. I try to block them but they keep coming back it's so annoying!
Well, even if you don't post your address on FB someone can still find it by googling you. They can even use Google earth/maps to see your exact location and what your home looks like. One can even find out information about properties you own, how much they were purchased for, etc etc. The internet is not a private thing :(
I kept getting messages from this guy who said he went to school with my brother, and that he was trying to get in contact with him. I let my brother know. My brother said that he had gotten a bunch of messages from him too, but had no idea who he was. We both blocked him.
When I was 27, the wife of the boyfriend I had when I was 16 contacted a myspace friend of mine (this was in the day) asking her to forward copies of my blog posts. I have no idea how she even got my name. He and I never attended the same high school, so I wasn't in any yearbooks, and we didn't stay in touch because he was awful. She grew up in another state and they didn't meet until college.
Then the woman tried to friend me directly. I wrote back that her profile said she was happily married with two beautiful daughters and that she should focus on that rather than someone her husband dated a decade ago. She still wanted to be "friends."
They are divorced now, which I learned when he tried to friend my on facebook this summer. Sometimes I hate the internet.
LOL! I had a friend a few years ago on FB do something similar asking for a girl's details, but I said I was just not close enough to the girl to be like "hey a guy I kinda know thinks you look like his 'dream girl' and wants your number...can you send it to me so I can send it to him?" Um, no.
On the other hand...I also once got a FB message from a guy who was like "Hey, you appeared in my 'people you may know' bar and I used to know your sister....years ago she introduced me to a girl who I dated but lost touch with, could you get your sister to contact me so I can reconnect with that girl?"....I gave him my sister's number who connected him to that girl (they hadn't seen each other in maybe 8 years but he had just moved back to the East Coast and thought about her)....I recently heard that the two of them DID meet up, she never forgot him either, and now they are engaged!!!
@bearlove: See, that's the kind of thing that happens in movies! I wonder what it was like for that girl at first, if he seemed creepy at all?
I've never really had creepy things happen to me on facebook (thank goodness!) but one of my girlfriends did. She had gone out with this guy she met online a few times but it did not end well so she cut off all contact with him. He was a serious loser. A few weeks later a group of us were at a wine + food show, and he messaged her on facebook (they were not friends) asking if she had fun at the show. We didn't she him at all when we were there so he was basically stalking her at this show and then creepily messaged her about it later! Not sure if he thought that would be his 'in' for relationship round two...
Exactly why I don't use my full first name and I keep my friends list blocked to all. Its none of your business who my friends are.
This is why I keep my FB private and only add people I know. I even have it to where I won't come up in a Facebook or Google search. If people add me that I barely or don't know, I ignore it.
It wasn't exactly creepy, but just annoying.
One of the people from a dog breed group I belong to on FB sent me a friend request. I figured, what the hell. I accepted. Then every darn time I logged on, she was online and wanted to chat. I got to the point where I just quickly checked wall posts, then logged off.
Then she decided to bitch at me about a rather graphic picture I had shared that was posted by an actual friend. Anyone who actually knows me would understand why I chose to put it on my wall. This is why you're only supposed to send friend requests to those you know personally, loser. I blocked her as soon as I saw her damn comment.
@newenglandgirl: Ugh, I got the same kind of message from my friend's ex. I really don't need a three-page facebook message about how much he regrets breaking up, and I sure as hell wasn't about to spy on her new bf like he wanted! Who thinks that would work??
My best friend dated this guy for three years who turned out to be seriously bipolar. She broke up with him after he spent three months in a psych ward and then refused to take his meds. He stalked her for a solid year til she blocked everything and had our friend send him a cease and desist letter outlining all the ways a restraining order would screw up his life (we all went to law school together and he hadn't passed the bar yet- getting past NJ's character committee with an FRO on your record is near impossible).
A few months later, he sent me a Facebook message. My FB is super private, but I'd blocked him, so I forgot he was still a friend. He begged me to convince her to talk to him. I printed it out and gave it to the friend who sent the C&D letter for evidence. Finally he stopped, but it was super weird.
I have my facebook name listed as "FirstName-MaidenName-1stMarriedName-CurrentMarried Name" Well some guy who shares my super rare 1st married name asked to be my friend - only because it was his last name too. He lived several states away so I figured what the hell. Its been like 2 years and he hasn't shown up at my doorstep...yet.
@parasol: That happened to me once too. Except it was WAY before cell phones (actually it was the reason I got an answering machine and stopped answereing my phone at all). I was 19 and in my first apt, and this guy called. I was too lice to just hang up on him so I spent 20 minutes convincing him that I was not the woman he was trying to call. Then he called me back a few days later to tell me that I sounded cute and he wanted to meet me. I went straight out and got an answering machine and didn't answer my phone for at least a month. He left a few messages, but got the hint. Ick.
My FB is super secret, no stakers or creepy folks, just friends. :-)
These stories are so creepy...
@parasol: This actually happened to me too!
At around midnight about 5 or 6 years ago, my phone rang. I picked up and I said "Sorry you have the wrong number." He goes "Ok, thanks. You sound really hot, what's your name?"
I hung up.
For the next few days, he would call EXACTLY at midnight. I got so pissed and gave the phone to my SO (now my FI) who said he's snap his neck if he calls back.
He didn't call back...
Until 4 years later...
I am supply teaching in a kindergarten class and was awaiting an important call from a family member for an anticipated emergency. I picked up and phone and its THE SAME GUY.
This time, he is talking REALLY LOUD... I didn't put him on speaker phone or anything but he was talking obscenities about licking me and eating me etc... This was 11am in the freakin' morning!!!!
I flipped. I'm like "Hey genius. Do you hear what's in the background? You called a SCHOOL. There are CHILDREN here." And hung up. He never called back... @__@
@bklynbridetobe: My friends used to be private too but now with this new timeline profile junk, I can't figure out how to make it so no one can see my friends.
Help! Anyone know how to do this??
My friend was with her crush, and they were on facebook. He saw my picture and started asking about me in front of her. She texted me and was like, OMG and sort of peeved that he was asking about me. I said uhhh did you remind him I'm engaged!?
@Legallyblondiebride: I hate the timeline and dont understand it!!!
Ew god I have a story to add!
When I was like 13 or 14 my brother and I went with his best friend and his family up to their ski condo for a weekend. Our families were close. My brother and I and his friend were at the pool and we all ended up playing volleyball with a boy my age and his younger sister. The boy and I hit it off and became fast friends. We hung out the rest of the weekend, played raquetball, air hockey, kids stuff. We ended up having a little moment, like we kissed. The way 13 year olds kiss. Total puppylove. We kept in touch via letter for a couple years causually, like pen-pals.
Years go by. YEARS! I get a myspace account. Some how he finds me, which I was initially kinda shocked by, but not really cos myspace was creepy in and of itself...so we catch up a little and were chatting on AIM (remember that?) When suddenly out of the blue he goes *no joke* Hey, so, um I have an awkward question. I braced myself. He asks "What do your pubes look like? Like, do you shave, or let it go natural?"
What. The. FCCK.
He then told me he kept all my letters and knew that fate would bring us together. Dude, we were like 13 year olds. It coulda been kinda cool if he played his cards right and you know, wasn't a total psycho.
Well I have had creepy and non-creepy experiences on FB.
CREEPY - My creepy experience is when an ex contacted me (I was not friends with HIM on FB) and asked me about one of my friends. He said she was "hot" and he would like to date her. Ewww. First of all you are my ex, and there is a reason you are my ex. It is because you are a jerk/loser. Secondly, the person he named was a casual aquaintance of mine and I would have never ever told her something like that. We barely talked. Why do guys actually think that will work? Seriously dudes, use common sense. Contacting an ex you don't talk to at all in order to make a new friend/girlfriend is NOT smart. I blocked him. Later I found out from the aquaintance that he had contacted her directly! CREEPY.
NON CREEPY - I essentially started dating my FI because of FB. We met in person, so it wasn't as if we met on FB first. I crashed my car, and his parents own the car body repair shop where I took the car to be fixed. We kinda hit it off right away, and talked for a few minutes, but I was dating someone else at the time and that was all that happened. My car got fixed, minus a few minor details that insurance didn't cover. Fast forward aobut a year. I notice I got a "friend request" from him on FB. By this time I had broken up with my ex and was single. I thought, why not, I knew him a little and we had grown up in the same town. He was friends with several of the same people I was already friends with on FB. So I friended him. He sent me a message and asked me if I had replaced the "small parts" on the car that insurance hadn't covered. It turns out, he just wanted a date with me. ;) Which was fine with me. And now we are engaged. <3 So to friend him was my best decision ever.
haha. Once my FI (then BF), dad, and I were all outside in my dad's yard when a truck broke down across the street from us. Since we were outside the guys in the truck came up to my dad and asked for help. Well a little while later after we were all back inside one of the guys came back up to our house and knocked on the door and asked if he could fill a gallon jug up with water. So FI went outside with him and filled the jug up for him and they had a conversation. The guy asked how long he'd lived there and my FI told him word for word "I don't live here. This is my girlfriend's house." Well about a week later I had a friends request and a message from a guy I didn't know. I read the message and it said (no lie) "hey I know you don't know me but I'm the guy who broke down in front of your house the other day." and then proceeded to tell me how cute I was and how he'd like to go on a date with me. Oh hey creeper, first of all, how did you even find me? Second of all, my boyfriend clearly told you that I'm taken so back off.
I swear people are so creepy.

Okay so I received a notification on my phone that I got a message from some random guy that I went to high school with. I am friends with him on FB simply because we went to HS together, but I seriously have not talked to him in a good 10 years.
I open the message and it is him asking me about one of my girl friends. Actually, I wouldn't even call her a friend, just an acquaintance. Now, I haven't talked to her on FB in a while, so it's not like she commented on something of mine and he found her that way. He must have stalked my friends list and found her picture.
His message basically said "Hey who is Kim? She is pretty cute and I'm feeling like I need to know her. What's the deal? I need details."
Ummm Eww. I mean seriously?? What the hell is wrong with guys? I deleted the message and deleted him too. I just found the whole thing to be massively creepy.
It got me thinking about what other things go on in the land of FB. Anyone else have any creepy FB stories to share??
