Just bought my Wife her Christmas Present very carefully on a computer that never connects to Facebook, and she knew what i had got her before i had clicked Pay, thanks Facebook for ruining any surprise I had carefully planned. Not sure how it did that cookies? IP tracking etc not sure...
Anyone else out there hate Facebook more than me right now?

    Always use incognito/private window when ordering a present - no cookies/tracking then.


    Oh, and also don't use Facebook as it's a waste of time, effort and sanity.

    Am I missing something, but I can't understand the question posed by the "Poll".
  • Poll needs another option, I'm too polite to suggest what it is, but you can guess OP.

    Even the kids are abandoning Facebook and leaving it to their desperate parents.
    There's a reason it features so prominently on the Jeremy Kyle show..;)

    Was this a shared computer? Surely sharing a computer is like sharing a toothbrush unless it's a totally separate user account without root access.
  • Poll makes no sense, how can I vote yes for just good or evil.
  • Maybe
    On Windows 10 too, I expect. Evil.

    Makes perfect sense to me, I use it for evil purposes(planning World Domination,keeping the Kardashians in the public eye etc) so would vote Option 1.
    Not voting though as I don`t want people to know about my plans ;)
