I am intrigued about situations in which you would have someone's Snapchat username, but so little of an idea of their name/network that you couldn't find them on Facebook with graph search.

A few months ago, I was trying to figure out what this Snapchat was all about, so I signed up with a fairly common username.

Sure enough, in a few days, I received several topless pictures from a random account. The girl typed in a name which she thought belonged to her friend, but instead entered my new profile name.

I thought this was hilarious, my girlfriend however, didn't. Just one random situation.
