Ok guys, we’ve all been there—Every guy has, at one time or another, come off as a little creepy. The incident usually gets repressed into the deepest, darkest, inaccessible corners of human consciousness. Both parties involved decide to never bring it up again and move on with their lives. That is, unless, you decide to make a permanent record of the incident through the use of Facebook. Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you the first submission into: SHAMED BY FACEBOOK.
Background:My friend Joyce went on a ski trip with a group of people, with some like Paul, who she had not known prior to going. Afterwards, Paul sends a friendly Facebook message to Joyce. A new budding friendship is born.
Ouch. It looks like Paul got served. Rule #1 of the Creeper Handbook: Never give your victim enough time to figure out who you are. A professional creeper is like that guy from Assassin’s Creed—You never get to see his face and he has the ability to immediately blend into the crowd. Unfortunately, for Paul, he went back to the scene of the crime. He’s like one of those really sinister arsonists that sets a building on fire and returns 10 minutes later pretending to be a concerned citizen. It may have worked for you in the past, but you cannot pull a fast one on this girl. She spots you in the crowd and calls you out. Before you know it, your evil deeds are posted on Datingish.
Have you ever had an "Is he/she serious right now?" moment while using Facebook? Have you ever been a victim of a Creeper? Are YOU a CREEPER?!If you would like to make your own submission to ‘SHAMED BY FACEBOOK’, please e-mail a screen shot of the message to CreeperSubmit (at) gmail (dot) com with any applicable details that would put it into context. If you’re a girl, your inbox must be filled with these. Don’t be selfish—Share them with us! Unless the person you are trying to shame is me. In that case, let’s just continue pretending it never happened.Also, if you need help taking a screen shot please ask me (or youtube) how to do it. Thanks!

wow, let's make a 'funny' post about someone getting molested... totally something to laugh about...
@x_papergirl@xanga - I apologize, I should have clarified this. Yes, of course poking fun at molesting people is terrible. Unless the individual
involved is actually my friend who voluntarily took this screen shot, requested I write about it, and used the word 'molest' rather loosely. In fact, she was quite happy about this post. Also, if you are trying to find the
'funny' in molestation, you are looking in the wrong place. The 'funny' I failed to deliver was supposed to be the absurdity of him trying to contact her after being a
creep. Again, for those of you I have failed to humor, this is NOT a molestation joke.
you didn't fail to deliver anything, i thought it was hilarious.
I didn't assume it was actual molestation...people tend to use the word rather loosely
his profile pic is of a pair of eyeballs hidden in a hat and trench coat...totally unsuspecting
@P0RCELA1N_D0LL@xanga - that's not his profile picture... the author obviously placed it there to protect both of these people's identities and represent what she thinks of him.
@shimsham20@xanga - that's not my serious comment but a sarcastic one pretending that I didn't know what was going on
Several years ago I had this guy who worked at a grocery store constantly staring at me when we'd go in. Finally one day I get a message on myspace from the guy saying he had found me online through my name on my credit card slip. (That has to be illegal...) He said he had mistaken me for someone else but still wanted to chat. He'd send me messages every other day with small talk. I should also mention he was 36 and I was 19. He kept trying to get me to add him on facebook since my security settings are so high. I finally told him I was uncomfortable with his messages and wanted him to leave me alone. He sent some long message trying to convince me he wasn't a creep. I never responded and stopped going to that store. And that, folks, is why I don't use myspace.
Internet creeps are the worst. Especially when there is a real chance you can run into them on the streets.
@Dada_Siegt@xanga - This is exactly what I was trying to get at. The odd medium the internet allows for people to say/do/act in ways that they normally would not or would not be acceptable in the real world. And not to mention the persistence that was shown in your situation. creeeeeeeeeeeep
i don't think this guy was shamed by facebook. seems to me he was already shamed before that. but maybe you'll get some better submissions now.
@Dada_Siegt@xanga - I am sorry that happened to you.
I had an experience where some guy from my college wanted to learn English from me. Not only that he send out a long message telling me he wanted to be my friend and learn English from me. His English wasn't that bad.
I told him no. I just felt uncomfortable to become friends with someone I didn't know regardless if he went to my college.
I remember another guy tried to friend a lot of my friends in my college. When I ask him who he was and why I should friend me, he got really nasty, and I told him, sorry I am not friending a creep who doesn't even go to my college.
Some guy added me on MSN a couple years ago, told me he "didn't remember where he got my email from" and it was weird, but I was pretty lonely when I was a teenager and male contact was just wonderful. He ended up being from a couple towns over (I told him I lived in another nearby town though, to stay safe) and we talked for maybe an hour one night before I went to bed. Just normal "so what do you like?" stuff. He seemed normal, whatever.
The next day I went online, didn't even think about him (and almost forgot who he was when he messaged me) and figured alright, no big deal. Until he told me "oh yeah, I'm kind of tired... I didn't sleep well last night." And I said, "oh, that sucks, :( why?" and he said "cause you weren't in my arms. :(" uh, excuse me?
I was deer in headlights thrown off. Was this guy for real? Not even an lol to pretend that he was joking, just full on creep alert. Somehow I just brushed it off though and kept talking to him, he continued saying things like "I'd really love to walk hand in hand with you on the beach" and other things too creepy to say to someone you just really don't know.
I really felt like he was some nice guy trying real hard to be smooth, romantic and just get a girlfriend - but he creeped me out and I blocked him. He made another account and added me thoguh, just asking why I blocked him. I asked him if he wanted the serious truth, he said yes, and I told him I'm sure he's a nice guy - but he tries way to hard and it's going to turn off any girl he ever meets. He whined about how he wanted to talk to me but I told him I'd rather not.
over a year ago i was single and just casually dating and whatnot.. and stupidly lent some guy $400. he never paid me back, even after i hounded him for it for months. i got over it and meanwhile met my current wonderful fiancee. a few days ago he msgd me saying hey watsup! still with your bf?? WTF U MEAN IDIOT, YOU OWE ME $400 DID YOU FORGET? asshole.
@summereque@xanga - LOL! The classic "Let's study together ploy". I like that one!
@thatkyliegirlx@xanga - Yikes. Sometimes incredibly friendly/sincere comes off as creepy or just downright awkward. I just got a submission of one of those and its pretty similar to your situation.
Back in the old days of myspace, some guy messaged me telling me I was the prettiest girl in our school. I HAD NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE. Granted, I go to a big highschool, but he totally creeped on me even longer after that.
I also had a guy comment on one my myspace photos I took of a friend of mine (who is on the heavier side) saying, "A wild snorlax appeared!" and shortly thereafter myspace IMed me trying to hit on me and I slammed his ass for that comment. His return? "Its a really good photo though, you're a really good photographer!"
Pig. I've had all kinds of creeps, but I've gotten good at getting rid of them. One guy tried to impress me by sending me a photo of a bag of weed, so I told him I was straight edge. He was kinda speechless after that ha!
there's a tumblr for this already.

What a faggot
@MikeyS - Reminds me of a guy who saw me coming out of the library and he's like "I see you here all the time studying" and of course, I go "yeah...." and he's like "let's study together in the library."
I flat out told him not interested. So when guys think they can study with me I tell them no, especially when it's creepy guys that I don't know at all. :)
I made the mistake of joining groups for American University in Cairo when I got accepted to study abroad. Apparently Egyptian men just go in those groups and search out girls to friend. The guy I ended up dating while there was one of these guys, but he wasn't overly creepy so I ended up meeting with him and the rest is history. But I asked him about the random guys and he told me what he, and many other Egyptian guys looking for young, foreign college students do. I told him I was a HUGE exception and to not do that.
I have so many creeper messages though from Egyptian guys wanting to be my friend.
I already responded about my experiences here, but, I really hate creepy people, and facebook seemed to allow stalkers to exist (and not be punished by stalking someone...)
I started dating this new guy, and just a few days into our relationship, I told my mom about him. She acted really happy for me and everything. I went to her work the next day and pulled up his webpage so I could show her his picture. She smiled and said, "I've already seen this." WHAT? She says, "I looked through all of your new friends and found the only 'Rob' I didn't know. I googled him and found his page. He's cute!"
My mom is a creeper.
Uugghhhh I can't stand internet creepers... I'm in the Army, and sometimes guys who are also in the Army will friend me on Facebook just BECAUSE we're both in the Army and they like my profile picture, or whatever it is. Zero friends in common. Not even on the same continent... If I WANTED to be contacted by random guys who think I'm cute, I would have joined a dating site. There's also the case of guys who look through a mutual friend's friends list and try to add me... I figure they look for pictures they like and friend whoever they think is cute. I used to accept them because we had mutual friends, but I took all those guys off and stopped adding them.
@temporarilyinnocent@xanga - LOL so sweet
@PsychedelicaMF@xanga - Inappropriate language. Yes, he's a jerk but do not say that. You know better.
Change your Face Book profile picture to a Smith & Wesson .50 cal.Magnum revolver to let them know you mean business.
