Germany - Another Birthday Party Gone Wild and Facebook is Guilty

Be careful when you invite people for your birthday party. A 16 year old girl Thessa from Hamburg, Germany posted an open invitation for her birthday party on Fecebook. It was supposed to be private, but the teenager forgot to change the settings.

When as many as 15 thousand Facebook users answered to this invitation, Thessa tried to cancel the party, but unfortunately in vain. Crowds gathered in front of her house in the day of expected birthday party. According to Hamburg police records approximately 1.600 guests arrived. Most of them were even wearing shirts with Thessa’s photos. Fortunately, policemen were able to manage the situation. A few people were arrested and one policeman got hurt.  

Really, after so many such incidents Facebook should ban posting open birthday invitations.

Another party gone wild because of the Facebook invitation

An invitation posted on FB attracted hundreds of people. A 14-year-old Sandra from a tiny town of Tomaszów Lubelski, Poland posted an open invitation for her birthday on her Fecebook page. Guests from as far as Gdańsk (northern Poland) and Krakow (southern Poland) came to that party.

The birthday party did not take place but Polish police had to intervene for 600 guests were blocking local roads.

In her Facebook invitation, Sandra wrote that everyone can come to her birthday party. One of her neighbours said that it had been written that the richest girl in Tomaszow was throwing a party and everyone could come.

There were as many as 21.000 Likes and approximately 3.000 declarations of participation in the event. It was a huge case in such a small town as Tomaszów. Sandra claims that someone hacked her Faceboook  page and posted this invitation. Local police is in the process of investigation.

Sandra’s neighbours say they have never experienced something like that. People came and went, sang Happy Birthday and wanted Sandra to go out and party with them. The junkies had a great fun and the local pizza house granted discounts for Sandra’s party guests.
