Pranks, Awkward, Facebook and Social Media: Just a prank, bro!

Just a prank, bro!

Today, at the library, somebody left themselves logged in to Facebook on a public computer after they had left. Trying to teach them a lesson, I updated their Facebook status to something outrageous. That's when they came back to the computer after getting something from the printer. FML

Same thing different taste

It wasn't me

Today, I was at the library. I went near the computer section when I saw this man cursing and pounding his fists on a computer. He left. I thought I'd check it out. As I sat down, a librarian came over with the security guard and pointed at me. I'm now being fined for destroying public property. FML

Today, my friend accidentally left her Facebook logged onto my computer after she left my house. I looked on her Facebook and found a very long message between her and my other friends talking about how much they hate me. FML

Today, I guess I accidentally left Facebook open on my work computer while I went to the bathroom, because my boss updated my status to "Unemployed." FML

Today, before closing the library, someone came in to use the computer. He apparently forgot the password to his online banking, eventually getting so frustrated that he grabbed the monitor, yanked it from its cables, hurled it across the room, and stormed out. I don’t get paid enough for this. FML

Today, I was at the library doing research for my midterm. All of the computers were in use, so I decided to use my laptop instead. Ten minutes later, I was confronted and kicked out. My offense? Unauthorized use of the library's so-called "Free Public WiFi". FML

Today, I forgot to log out of my Facebook account before leaving for work. When I got back home, I discovered that my brother had gone through and commented "quack" on all my friend's duckfacing photos. She was not pleased. FML

Caught in the act

Today, I was on the computer in the library on campus. I was Facebook-stalking a really cute girl that I often see on campus. As I'm looking at her profile pictures, I turn around and the girl is standing right behind me. She gave me a disgusted look and walked off. FML

Today, my cute co-worker asked if he could use my computer. I told him my password and went to the bathroom. When I came back he said he'd finished. I tried to log in, but my password wouldn't work. I then noticed a post-it note on the desk saying, "Stop stalking me and I'll change the password back." FML

Today, I was at the library, working with some classmates on our major semester project. I accidentally killed power to the row of computers by me. I've never had so many enraged faces looking at me before. FML

Today, I briefly left my laptop while I went to use the toilet. When I came back, I found "I" had posted on Facebook, calling my mom a "stupid cunt who should just stay in the kitchen." The only other person home at the time was my grandpa. She didn't believe it, and permanently grounded me. FML

Oh please. All of you who said "You Totally Deserve It," get the **** out of here. You know that you would have done the same thing. Everyone would want to. Gosh, everyone on this site is so hypocritical. No one can be a perfect little angel and not do something that bites them back all the time, but you guys expect them to. Figures.

Go look up "tu quoque". It might do you some good.

I have no idea where (or even IF yet) you grew up, but I have never had the urge to do anything to anyone else's Facebook. And if you do, may I suggest a hobby or something more constructive?

Why would it be bothered to do something like that? In the end it accomplishes nothing so it would be a waste of time. So no I can say I have no desire to do that to a random stranger's facebook. If it was a good friend then yeah cause then we can both get a good laugh out of it and know that they would get me back one day. But a random stranger... it is pointless.

Um, no, I definitely would not have done the same thing. I'm not a "perfect little angel" and I think it's fun and harmless to act immature sometimes, but that's not the same as being completely obnoxious. Some of us were kids, and apparently some of us were just undersized assholes. This little prank isn't even entertaining. Also, has anyone noticed that the people who like to do this always seem to be the ones who also think it's funny to post horribly homophobic or otherwise offensive things, like using "retard" as an insult? I guess one form of myopic stupidity often goes hand in hand with another.

Well, I do agree that it is rather pointless to do something like this. But the main point I'm trying to make here is that people on this site are so quick to berate and downsize others by way of clicking "You Totally Deserve It." It's unbelievable to me, even now, of how truly mean people can be on this site. All in the name of creating an online identity that, in the end, really doesn't matter. And yeah, I feel the whole "retard as an insult" thing, too. I mean, thinking about if for just one second is all it takes to realize that there actually are mentally handicapped people out there that would take offense to such insults.

Did you look up look tu quoque? Here's the gist of it: even if I were the world's biggest bastard and never did a single nice thing for anyone, I would still be correct that something is YDI if somebody is an ass and gets called on it or receives proportional punishment for it. Now, it just so happens that I'm not the world's biggest bastard and I wouldn't do what OP did, or what most of the people I tell "YDI" to do, but if I were it wouldn't make them deserve it any less. There is nothing mean about saying "You directly caused something to occur by your own dickish actions" if it is true, such as in this case.
