    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 ;)
    So you are voting 1 - Facebook is good or evil. Clear as mud.
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.

    here's a tip....
    In facebook . com

    Go to the settings page and locate "Adverts" option

    You'll be given a page with a number of items :

    #Your interests


    #Advertisers you've interacted with



    #Your information



    #Ad settings




    click on the top 2 and remove ALL items listed....
    (This might take the better half of a week!! lol!! ) ;)

    Then in the "Ad Settings" option tun off all ads so you'll only get default general ads rather than targeted ones..

    Nothing about NOT being on Facebook, just on a PC that is not logged into Facebook currently....

    Possible to assume the someone in the OP's house is a Facebook user on another machine (at the same IP address!) and facebook joins the dots ;)
    Since the "other half" noticed it on Facebook...

    Fair comment , but the poll question is a nonesense and the fact the other half knew before the op clicked on pay ...so why continue to pay ...

    Trolls must be getting lazy, not even a half baked attempt.

    So facebook that you never use told your wife about a present that you had not bought.

    Thats nothing, On valentines day my postman delivered flowers and chocolates to my wife before i had even realised it was valentines day.
    How clever of him, he didnt even ask me to pay. cool eh.

    I hate to be the one to tell you, but your wife is obviously having an affair with the postman! :D

    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.
    Is this a reference to agonising root canal fillings? :eek:
