How do you feel about people posting photos of you on facebook?
Let me start off with I do not belong to facebook. I am just not interested in it. My husband has a facebook account because his sisters, dad, and most of his extended family are on there and they are always uploading photos...so he likes to be able to see them. Anyways...this weekend at the wedding I had a bit too much to drink, and ended up doing something very silly....and these moments were captured on camera by my SIL's BF who then posted them on facebook. My other SIL emailed me today to let me know. At the wedding my FIL said jokingly "Chris these photos are going on facebook." I said in front of everyone that I do not want any of these photos going up. What do you think? Would you be upset?
Re: How do you feel about people posting photos of you on facebook?
If I asked someone to not post certain pictures and then did, yes I would be upset.
But as far as a friend posting drunk pictures of me, unless they were very inappropriate, I wouldn't mind. (I should add that a lot of coworkers like to drink, including my boss, and there are probably more incriminating pictures of them on FB than me.)
In general I don't really mind, but since I am a teacher I need to be careful what gets put in cyberland. My friend posted something from a bachelorette party that I would rather not have up. I simply asked her to take it down.
Ask the person and then if they still leave it up then you can get upset.

It sucks that they put them on even though you asked them not to.. but perhaps they thought you were kidding. Ask them to take them down, and go from there.
That said, my personal opinion is that if you don't want to be seen doing something, don't do it. I don't mean that to come off as biitchy or snarky, but personally I am friends with my parents and many other family members on FB - I am open with them and don't do anything that I wouldn't want them to see in the first place, you know?
hmmm....I have to disagree with you about if you don't want to be seen doing something don't do it. I take yoga on a regular basis, and would not want to be photographed in a sports bra and put up on facebook. I wear a bikini when I go away with my husband on vacation, and would for sure not want my boss (who is on facebook) to see that. Maybe I am unusually private??? I just don't feel comfortable with people I don't know very well or who I know in more of a professional setting to see photos of me in what I would consider a private situation. I am not sure if I am explaining this well or if I am coming off as being super private/prudish.
This is something I'm attentive to as well, I prefer some things to be kept off the internet, and don't mind others. In a certain way if you put it out there IRL like jcam said its there, and has the potential to wind up anywhere.
I also think that there can be boundaries without seeming hypocritical, but rather private. Just because something isn't appropriate in the workplace or certain other circles doesn't mean that I have to eliminate it from my life, it just requires me to be more careful, and for me facebook is included in this.
I'm not a fan of having my photo all over the Internet either, especially when it's not my choice to have them up there. I agree that you should ask her to take the photos down, maybe say something like given your line of work it could be bad for your career to have inappropriate pictures posted online. That way it will sound like a logical, legitimate reason rather than come across as prudish, KWIM?
Yes this is exactly what I am going to do. Thanks!!

Honestly, I don't care.
Like PP said, if you don't want to be seen doing something, don't do it.
I honestly don't care. Most people (my friends anyway) are pretty respectful of the pictures they put up. If there is something I don't like I untag myself and then no one on my friends list knows it's there. You can also block images posted by other people from being seen by people on your friends list.
I know you said you don't have an account so that doesn't really help you. But I agree that it's not right that your friend put them up after you asked them not to.
