So I have no problem with someone checking me out on FB, but the moment an interviewer asks for my password, I will walk out of the room.

This.
I've never really done anything regrettable on facebook. Arguably, the stupidest thing I've done is made some friends "relatives." I've never even had a questionable photo (lies. When I was 13 and incredibly naive, the movie-musical
Hairspray was out and it was a huge hit. I was obsessed with Penny Pingleton, and I took a whole bunch of photos with me pretending to be Penny--her trademark is a lollipop. I had NO CLUE what it meant at that time).
But my password? Umm, no thanks. The only person allowed to access my facebook page is me.
