foursquare logoBeing "socially active" on the Internet may seem like an oxymoron. But thanks to apps like Foursquare, we're able to use technology to broadcast our real lives like never before.

But where there is a social networking tool, there are chronic oversharers. What about those activities best hidden from friends, co-workers, family members and that girl you met at that party the other night?

Here are eight of the strangest places we've caught our friends checking into.



windowless van foursquareWhere: Public schools

Why It's Creepy: Unless you're an elementary or high school student or a parent picking your child up, please, please avoid checking in here at all costs. (Even if you're the janitor. Those guys are creepy enough.)

Potential Badge to Unlock: Windowless Van. Congratulations! You've proven how careless you are about your weird and unexplainable check-ins at locations chock-full of local children!



adult video badgeWhere: Adult video stores

Why It's Creepy: Sure, most guys look at porn. But nobody should feel the need to tell anyone else that they're renting "Pirates" for the third time this month.

Potential Badge to Unlock: The Boob Connoisseur. Congratulations! You're spending another Saturday night alone in your studio apartment. Good thing you bought that jumbo box of Bagel Bites to satisfy the taste of loneliness!



graveyard badgeWhere: Graveyards

Why It's Creepy: It's pretty weird to take a moment to check in during a daytime funeral, but visiting a cemetery when the sun goes down is even weirder. Maybe you're checking in late at night to prove how brave you are, but we're just going to assume you're there to play with dead things.

Potential Badge to Unlock: Tombstone Tinkerer. Congratulations! You've checked in at an inappropriate time (past 7 p.m.) to pay your respects to the non-living. Leave the shovel at home next time.



Where: Planned Parenthood

Why It's Creepy: There are multiple reasons this check-in could come off as creepy, such as picketing as a pro-life warrior and throwing buckets of fake blood on the patrons walking in and out of the clinic. Even less sensitive is checking in when your visit is related to that drunken night when you forgot how condoms work.

Potential Badge to Unlock: Who's Your Daddy? Congratulations! You're officially the worst boyfriend/husband/employer ever.


Where: Westboro Baptist Church headquarters

Why It's Creepy: If you have to ask why this is creepy, you obviously don't know who they are or what they do. If protesting at the funerals of homosexuals and soldiers who died for their country is your thing, then this badge is for you.

Potential Badge to unlock: God Hates Badges. Congratulations! You better not let the rest of the Westboro crew know you're checking in, because the Internet is the Devil's work.



lurking for loveWhere: Really close to where your crush lives

Why It's Creepy: Because, on the odd chance of running into that person, you'll say "Oh, I didn't know you live around here!" If you're not bold enough to show up at her window with a boombox, stay the hell away.

Potential Badge to Unlock: Lurking for Love. Congratulations! You haven't been slapped with that restraining order (yet).




Where: Justin Bieber/Jonas Brothers concerts

Why It's Creepy: You know that their fanbases are girls of a very, very young age, right? The only way this wouldn't creep anyone out is if you were seeing Justin Bieber performing in North Korea.

Potential Badge to Unlock: Tweenage Dirtbag. Congratulations! You've got a full night of watching "Twilight" movies, because after the concert gets out at 9 p.m., you'll probably be too excited to sleep.


cowboy foursquare badgeWhere: A stud ranch

Why It's Creepy: Because cowboys do not use Foursquare, which means you're checking in from the sidelines, where you're enjoying some hot horse-mating. While it may be a thrill for you, our only relief is that you're far away from the city.

Potential Badge to Unlock: Hay Neigh-bor. Congratulations! You've made your interest in beast-on-beast lovin' known to all of your Foursquare friends. Giddyup!
