saving the stupid from themselves...

...or "why the hell am I a nice guy?"

So we're at the Sprint store in Charlotte and I check out the other smart phones including the current Centro set-up (they had the lime-green variant of my new phone) and I check out the Facebook for Palm app and what do I find?

Someone left themselves logged into Facebook.

Yes, a "public" phone and she's still connected to it, with full access to changing her profile and status, full access to wall-posting her friends, and full access to LOTS of details of her friends' profiles (including any phone numbers).

Being the nice guy that I am, she's now got this likely confusing FB message from herself suggesting she not do it again (that's how I used to handle it on the vaxen back in the old days), and yes I logged her off.

I don't what to know what a total asshole might have done...I get enough "I found pictures of you at [insert random porn url here]" as it is.

in all seriousness, i probably would have done something similar.

only i'd have left some crazy status message that said, "[account holder] left her account logged in at the Sprint Store but a kind stranger made sure to log off before any damage was done."
