I hope this is on a plaque somewhere at Flickr HQ

I have to remind myself of this truism every so often so I might as well write it down for the ages:

When you have an old photo in your photostream with partial nudity in it, and it gets a new favorite from a random no-user-pic user, for god sakes, don't look at their other favorites.

Creepier: when that happens to (clothed, of course) pics of your teenage daughter.

Recently someone faved my photo of Jeff Veen in a dress. Of course I clicked through to his account and it’s all photos of a dude dressed in bad drag.

I’ll print this out and hang it up on a wall.

I have had to block a bunch of people recently who were alternately favoriting either photos of my feet or my sister’s rack.

At least I can appreciate their obviousness, but man, when I see a guy’s favorites are all girls with seat belts on in cars, or guys on bikes taking a piss, or odd bulges in men’s pants (all real things I’ve seen on Flickr), those creep me out a bit more.
