Today, I felt like adding my real middle name to my facebook name to make it look more professional. It was denied because they didn't feel it was a legitimate request. Minutes later, someone with the name of "Galactic Toast" friend requested me. FML

Today, my coworker asked me to add her on Facebook. She has a common name, so I picked the one I thought was her. After no response for a while, I asked for the right spelling. She saw the one I thought was her and said, “I can’t believe you thought I was that ugly.” She wasn't joking. FML

62, you're an idiot, because the guy you responded to used 'your' and 'you're' in the correct way, unlike your response. See what I did there? Oh, and I feel it's appropriate to mention that the word is 'grammar'...

I don't understand why that would be professional. Am I missing something here? Are you trying to get a job through your Facebook page or something? That doesn't really happen, and if it does, then it's very rare. If you want to appear to be more professional online, make your own website. Potential employers are impressed by that, as long as you don't have a bunch of junk on it.
