Makes sense. It's doubly bad. i) if the tenant has wild parties and ii) the tenant is stupid enough to post pictures. -- nm - Mop May 12, 18:45
they'd be silly not to. my cop friends say it's the first thing they look at when they check people out, and I've done it for prospective employees. -- nm - mafic May 12, 18:16 28

      - you might want to reassess what you twitter. What if some common acquaintance tells the boss things you've said? -- nm - loosilu May 12, 18:41 3
        
        and by the way, they can read what you tweet even if you don't add them. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 18:41 2
        
        protected tweets, but point taken from below -- nm - Hotkiss May 12, 18:42 1
        
        well, you better hope everyone you know can keep their mouth shut. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 18:44
    - Yes, updates like "my boss is a douche" tend to make prospective employers send your resume to the circular file - Stephen May 12, 18:38 3
      - you don't even have to go that far. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 18:40
      - And maybe fired from your current job... -- nm - Stephen May 12, 18:39
      - And maybe fired fro -- nm - Stephen May 12, 18:39

  - Just for the record, I'd hate to be on the bad side of one of your cross examinations. -- nm - Mop May 12, 18:46 3
    - What for? Just pull out a picture of him in his Zubaz. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 18:49 2
      - Gimme a break. I'm pandering. You never know why I might *allegedly* commit a crime in the land of 10,000 lakes. -- nm - Mop May 12, 19:03 1
        
        there *must* be other defense attorneys there. - loosilu May 12, 19:05

        "and is it also true that you posted 'you're dead to me' on the late David's wall?" -- nm - CrankYanker May 12, 18:33 2
        
        "Yes, but taht does not constitute a threat on his life!" -- nm - loosilu May 12, 18:34 1
        
        but the jury consists of 8 old ladies who remember when they could get good gossip by listening in on the party line -- nm - zeitgeist May 12, 19:38
If they're tagged in more than two photos containing JackDawson and a beer, they're rejected? :) -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 18:00 3
- If JackDawson is in their friend list, they're rejected. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker May 12, 18:02 2
