Flickr storys

So I found this article on digg about 6 horror stories from Flickr. Some of them are truly bad, like someone hacking your account and deleting all your photos. One, however, seems like fun and would be a good challenge/competition to have with some friends.

She’s Copying Me!
We’ve all heard the story of the freaky roommate who starts dressing like you, talking like you, tries to muscle in on your friends and generally freaks you out.

Kristi Bogel had that experience on Flickr.

Each time she posted a new photo, someone she knew would post an image that looked almost exactly the same.

After the fourth time her photos sparked something that was more like imitation than inspiration, she asked other Flickr members what she could do. Responses ranged from nothing through Report Abuse to “put up pictures of her boyfriend and her house.”

It could just have been a bit of a teenage tiff, but definitely not the sort of person you want to rent an apartment with.

Again it would be bad but I can see this idea turning into a fun game.
