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

Because, friend, without nutjobs, who do we have to make most FMLs about?

You should've just walked away...?

Although that guy is obviously taking it a little extreme, law enforcement agencies do however use people's social networking sites for info all the time. It gives you a heads up in the small print when you join.

Wouldn't the CIA, and the entire rest of the government, already have your social security info?

only 1 department handles that info I believe. just like the census is only done by one agency and has the overall stats open to the rest of the government and public. so someone in the government definitely has access to your social security info, but for an outsider to get their hands on it requires special and real reasons to why the CIA would need your info, otherwise stealing your info would be easier for hackers and such if there were a dirty CIA member

At least you handled it with maturity, OP. Now you know better than to pursue any form of conversation with that man.

I don't get why you "had" to stand there and be polite for that long...I may have listened for a couple minutes, but no one's getting in my face and reaming me that long if they're merely a coworker and virtual stranger.

As if the CIA couldn't get your Social Security details if they wanted them, they don't need Facebook, lol. Tell him Google is tracing his every search because they want to recruit him as a super spy, laugh & walk away!

That's what I was thinking. Surely the government has access to pretty much every detail you post on there anyway.

This "nut job" isn't to far off the mark the government does keep tabs on that and this as well

That nut job could be on to something what the hell is the real point of Facebook? What's the point if life? What the hell this FML got me thinking, what if all our lives just a conspiracy?!?
