Am I overeacting? (long)
I have a facebook page which has my phone number in my info section that only friends on my list can view it, i dont have complete strangers on my page so i dont mind if they have my number... (im now thinking twice now about keeping it there) I have a friend on facebook, this is someone that I knew in highschool we werent close or anything that puts on his status update asking if anyone was looking for a company to make flyers, brochures, logos, any marketing tools to conatct him. Well Im a wedding planner and i was thinking about making those postcard flyers so I reply to his status update with " yea, do you know someone?" Didnt get a reply back, later that day I get a missed phonecall and a voice message and its a marketing company. The guy says on his message that "John" (my friend) give him my number because he mentioned i was interested in flyers... I got a little upset because I dont think "John" shouldve given my number without asking me if it was OK for this company to contact me. When i asked him if he knew someone I expected him to reply with the company name or website and leave it up to me to conatct them. So this kinda turned me off. I check my facebook the following day and "John" sent me a message saying that he gave my number to this company, apparently its a friend of his and that his friend left me a message, he wanted to know if i got the message... I didnt reply... He messaged me again today with "hey how many flyers do you need, i had "freddy" call you th other day did you get the message?" so i replied back this time telling him how I did not appreciate him giving my number to someone without asking me first. Yes my number is on a website publicly (my company website) but thats for potential clients to contact me directly not for other vendors to solicit their business... I told him i didnt expect him to dig in my facebook for my number, what i did expect is for him to give me the company info.
Do you think Im being silly for being a bit upset at what he did? I kinda feel bad now that i replied to him... I did tell him in the begining of the message that i know his intentions were good but i wasnt too happy that he gave my number out.

Glad everything got straightened out but I would have been just as mad as you. One of the girls I intern with has her number posted on FB and she added one of her mom's friend's. Well now he is texting her and she had to delete him off her friends. The damage has been done because her number is stored on his phone. But some people are just creeps.
it's a little sleazy, for sure.
but I always go by the "if it's on the internet, it's free game" theory. that goes for things on the knot, nest, FB, myspace, blah blah blah.
you should take it off your profile- FB is less private than you think.
I would have been annoyed too, he should have asked you for sure.
That being said, I haven't posted mine because I have over 500 friends and even though I "know" who they are, I wouldn't want a majority of them to call me. All my friends and coworkers have my phone number so I don't think I need to post it.
Also, be prepared to get lots of courtesy calls from the phone being listed on your company's website! We get tons at work, it sucks. I think I'm going to set up a separate house line for when I open my own business to avoid this issue!
