Name your DU faux pas.

I once posted a pic from google images that I could see, but everyone else saw "F*CK YOU HOT LINKER."

That is only one of many. :o

1. When I first started posting, I made the

mistake of (gasp!) saying I liked some of Billy Joel's music. :spank: I learned my lesson!

At least you didn't post a link to a fellow DUer's website instead of posting a pic. :D

I thought it was a nice thing to do. You did get good feedback on it.

Combined with your awfully cute son, you should have no problems finding the perfect woman (or some reasonable fascimile).

28. Someone asked for serious PC computer help and I said "Get a Mac"

I thought I was being cute. I was very quickly schooled. Now I always start with "Off Topic" or "I know this is no help, but..." if I want to add something that's no help what so ever.

All's well that ends well: if she'd only been straight, we'd have kissed and made up shortly thereafter. (Merely making up is a poor substitute...)

62. I once sent a PM

about a thread that followed a trend that annoyed me, so I mocked it in the PM. Didn't realize that I wasn't in PM mode - but in post a new thread. A good friend called me almost immediately after seeing it - and realizing what happened - and I alerted on my own thread to get it removed... with a mea culpa and some humbling.

And posted some shit that got me tombstoned while I was in Aruba.

Yep, came back to find myself banned. Luckily I was given a 2nd chance. I've never figured out how that happened. Though I keep accusing my brother who was feeding our cat that week.
