Well I guess this couldn’t be more mild, but at an early point in my career where I was active and a little picky in creating my professional network, LinkedIn tricked me into sending an invite to every single one of my phone contacts.

Now, I had a large social network on my phone, with people of all interesting kinds, but I tried to keep LinkedIn as a network of peers I had actually worked with and could recommend, not more random people like on Facebook (we’re quite a few years back in time here).

There was no way of canceling these invites. The only solution I had was to deactivate my account for half a year or so. Even still, people I had previously invited would randomly appear in my network whenever they created an account / accepted my invite, for years later.

I like to think that I’ve grown out of these insecurities (professionally), and it’s almost, almost, funny to think back on how mortified I was of the situation.

I once texted my mother for pot instead of my dealer. Clearly I needed to smoke another joint.

Probably, but there’s no way she would have told me that. She was a hypocrite of the highest order and liked to shame me for smoking but then smoked behind our backs.

An old girlfriend was back in town and she wanted to take some pictures of us playing around for her OnlyFans. After we had done the deed she handed me her phone & told me to pick my favorite pictures & send them to myself. Turns out she has a coworker with the same first name as me & I wasn’t paying attention due to the afterglow…
