Today, a co-worker asked me if I have a Facebook account, and I said I do. I had to politely smile as he spent the next half hour insulting me for supposedly being glued to it 24/7, before claiming that it's all a CIA front to steal people's social security details. Why are nutjobs like this even alive? FML

Today, I went to a big job interview. Everything went well at first, with the interviewer being impressed by my CV. I was then interrogated over not having a Facebook account, and practically accused of being a criminal, because people without them "always have something to hide". FML

Today, I complained about being bored to death on Facebook. Someone took it as a suicide threat and called the police. They showed up at my apartment and my workplace. FML

Today, my boss yelled at me for having Facebook open at work. That's fine, I closed it and continued on with my work. In a meeting later on I could see the reflection of my boss's laptop screen in a mirror behind her desk. For two hours, I watched her scroll through her Facebook feed. FML

Today, my horrible boss sent me a Facebook friend request for the fifth time, in her attempt to not only bother me at work, but also through social media. FML

Today, I was caught going on Facebook at work. I was called into my boss's office to be reprimanded, and while he was lecturing me on the importance of staying focussed and the misuse of company property, his computer beeped. It was his Facebook chat notifying him of a new message. FML

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

Today, my boss yelled at me for visiting Facebook on my work computer. He says that since I can't be trusted, I'll be supervised from now on. I was uploading pictures to the company's Facebook page, which I have to do once a week as part of my job. FML

Today, I found out my husband has a fake Facebook account that he uses to add guys and live a double life as some kind of "gamer chick". This would be disturbing enough, even if he hadn't used pictures of me to give a face to his alter ego. FML

Today, I went to my Calculus lecture, one of a class of 200 people. As I looked down I noticed that a guy a few rows in front of me was on Facebook. When I took a closer look, I noticed he was viewing my profile. He stalked the profile for a full 45 minutes. I have never met this guy in my life. FML

The CIA has admitted to using Facebook to spy/get information on people.

When did looking at information people have voluntarily placed in a public venue become "spying", exactly? That's like saying that seeing other people who've come out into public while you're at the store is spying on them.

Well it IS true, you dimwit. Why are uncharacteristic twats with no brain like YOU even alive?

So, you're saying the CIA needs to go through the agonizing trouble of setting up an elaborate and expensive front... in order to get information they're already empowered to request from the social security administration for free.

Mark zuckerberg did win the c.i.a surveillance medal but its not social security information but intelligence gathering. Instead of brutally ripping on these claims so some research. Don't be ignorant

You're saying his friend was technically wrong, but that the OP was still wrong to doubt him. Think about that.

YDI for politely listening for 30min and not shutting him down the moment he started making wrong assumptions.

The only one assuming is the general public, in believing that this country can exist without close observation, manipulation, and blatant control of its citizens.
