Massive fail, massive.

True story though, there's an English guy who booked plane tickets but spelled his name wrong. When he noticed he called the airline to change the name but they wanted £300 so instead he changed his name by deedpole to match the name on his ticket (£35), took the holiday then changed it back afterwards (£35).

Is this an Onion article? The story itself is so stupid; I'm having a hard time believing it's real.

Although this is very comical and facepalm worthy, and I haven't fully read the article: I feel that there may be an addition motivation for regaining access to the account.

 

Many of you are saying "just make a new account". I have several family members/friends that (stupidly) use Facebook as a form of "cloud" storage for pictures. If many precious pictures are attached to the account I could see her feeling the need to go through drastic measures to recover them. This may not be the case, but it does cross my mind.

 

It is an ongoing struggle to convince them (family/friends) of the importance of multiple backups, local/off-site/cloud.

As far as I know the only way for Facebook to know your real name is with your credit card number. Just don't put your credit card number on Facebook and you can use whatever fake name you want.

She probably used her card to pay for microtransactions for Candy Crush or Farmville or some other stupid Facebook game.

Is there any other reason why anyone would put their credit card number on Facebook except for microstransactions and promoting your page ? I don't use Facebook that much.

Sigh... technology makes us increasingly stupid as it caters to our lazy nature and makes us excessively dependant on tools such as the calculator and Google browsing to do the jobs that our brains were biologically designed for.

Our brains are actually really bad at doing math, compared to processors. We are designed for logical operations, coming to conclusions from incomplete data sets and things like that, that computer chips are actually really bad at. What we dont excel in is crunching numbers. and for that, those calculators are really useful. 

 

Just like we dont excel at chopping down trees with your bare hands, so we made the axe. (and so on)

this proves how bad facebooks policy is regarding the use of names, if your account get locked they will only unlock it you send something that confirms you are a real human, so something like a copy of your ID card, drivers license or whatever. which actually is illegal, but they still get away with.

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

Life without Facebook is a liberation. 

 

Haven't touch my Facebook account for years.

 

Personally, I only use Facebook to connect with old friends and to remember birthdays, but other then that Facebook has become less and less important to me. But without it, I'd probably miss 95% of my friends birthdays, and I'm too lazy to put all of these birthdays in my Google Calander :D

Dude, such a lame comeback, you can't deny it's the same story with every facebook thread all over again, it's annoying and it's like a broken record, repeating, repeating etc.

 

Apparently you care that I care, otherwise you wouldn't have reacted.  :wub:

 

Also, @LukaP you liked that comment?

 

You are not bae anymore  :angry:

Nobody cares whether you have facebook or not. Nobody cares that nobody cares. Why do people care about other peoples personal decisions? ;)

BUT, to be fair:

Said this 3 times total over the span of this year in 3 different thread vs the countless 'I don't have FB anyway' posts over many threads.

I guess if you are a big fan of Facebook it could be mildly annoying. But in fairness you've said multiple times that you don't care. So I don't see how it annoys you so much. Tbh.

I'm not. Just the repeating aspect of it is annoying.

But let's stop.

I think it's like a counter weight. The whole Internet pushes Facebook down our throats, so it's hardly surprising some people feel the need to push a different narrative whenever Facebook is mentioned in a public forum.
