Have you ever found on the internet the picture of someone you know?

    Hello, I was wondering if anybody ever found on the internet the picture of someone you know? What type of website was he/she on? What was your reaction? Any exciting story?

    I tell you my story, try to beat this! :) . I followed a friend of mine to Kiev last winter for a week holidays (his girlfriend lives there), and one night the three of us (my friend, his girlfriend and I) went clubbing. I met this stunning looking girl and started to talk, she also offered me some of the champagne she was drinking with her friends (I assure you that getting a girl to pay you something over there is not an option) and spent the night talking. We then met up the following day just the two of us and ended up having a little party of our own ;). Then I didn't meet her anymore in those days as I was "busy", however we kept in touch via email (very informal, just an email per month) and then guess what? My friend (the guy who was in Kiev with me) sent me a link yesterday with the picture of this girl appearing on one of these Escorts Agencies websites! I have to say was kind of funny when I saw it, I wasn't disappointed of anything, so in my evil mind I am planning to have some fun in the next email I will send her (she doesn't know that I know) ….. I had the feeling that there was something not really right with her, I mean when I met her the first night she was wearing a wedding ring and told me she was married, which can well be but this never bothered me as I wasn't looking for a wife or anything, but from being a cheater to being an escort there is quite some difference. So, I feel guilty now that I stole a free service…very unprofessional on her side I have to say :)

    Oh well, just wanted to post this story….what an exciting life I have!!! :)

    PS: don't ask me to post a link to her picture because I won't, after all she is a "friend" :rolleyes:

    This guy I know takes lots and lots of pics and publishes them

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Not once unfortunately. Although I'd prefer to keep my mug off the intraweb so that I don't have to look and be on the receiving end of the abuse stick when I'm older.

    Yeah, a few times. When the 'hot or not?' thread was well 'hot' here I went through the site and found pics of one or two guys I know.

    Some link was posted in the fashion/appearance forum to a teenager's website and I knew one of the guys in the pics.

    Various websites with peoples' profiles, I usually find a lot of people I know or have connections with.

    Not very exciting but I found a picture of an ex-boyfriend on his gaa club website. He was about 14, in a jersey way too big for him with a big mop of floppy hair. Gave me a giggle when I found it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭Scraggs

    A friend of mine found a picture of one of our teachers on the rose of tralee from like 20 years ago. Then she hit him on the head with a book.

    Loads of people I know have their picture online. Most are work- or respectable-hobby related so it's not all that amazing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,746 ✭✭✭0utshined


    OP,

    What was your friend doing checking out that website in the first place if he's living with his girlfriend? To answer your question though, yes I have found pictures of people I know on the net though like simu it's usually to do with work, schooling or a hobby.

    You do realise that your friend paid a prostitute to have sex with you?

    Yeah right, and what the chance that on a night club full of girls I made a move right on the one he paid...that didn't even give me anything the first night, mmm...maybe he filled the night club with high class prostitutes and paid them all :D

    I wish I had more friends like this :D

    On some Meath GAA football website, I found a picture of my father and three of my uncles because they played on the county championship winning team back in 1973 or something. Very funny indeed.
