To ask for your most embarrassing social media fails?

[ohganggang]

Can't sleep and am reminiscing on mine, and find it hilarious to read about others.

1. Sent a message meant for my then BF (now husband) that I thought it was disgusting my job only paid me minimum wage with everything I do. But I actually sent it to the work announcement group chat with management in. Did one shift afterwards (I thought I'd just face up to it and figured we could all just laugh it off. But when I took the manager aside to apologize she claimed she hadn't seen it. Saw people sniggering at me throughout the shift and the next day I claimed I couldn't do the job anymore as a family emergency had occured, never went back. It was just a casual hospitality job.

1. Tagged myself in dad's ex-wife's (so pre him marrying my mum) photo of her daughter's (not by my dad) newborn baby. Was just curious and fancied a stalk for whatever reason. Had to see my half sister the next day (so the aunt of the baby and half sister of the baby's mum) and it was the elephant in the room.

1. Stalked the guy I lost my virginity to and accidentally liked his profile pic. Got a friend request the next day, swiftly blocked him.

Great thread. I once tagged myself on a fb photo on my ex boyfriends new gf's face I had an iPhone 3 back then and as I was stalking (we weren't friends on fb with ex) I tried to zoom in on his new gf's face and accidentally tagged myself .

Already laughing at those.

I went to search someone on Facebook but accidentally changed my status to her name instead.

Oh and accidentally shared a pic of a former colleague's baby.

Once sent a bitchy message to the person I was bitching about. To be fair she took it really well.

Was having a snoop on DP's exs Facebook and forgot where I was and commented "I like your necklace" on one of her pics 🤦‍♀️

these are great and mine seems tame now, but I was stalking an ex's new girlfriend and accidentally started following her

(on FB that is!)

I once accidentally phoned someone I'd dated a couple of times while trying to look closer at his new WhatsApp profile photo . I thought I'd ended the call quick enough.

I then WhatsApp called my best friend and put it down quickly to test if I'd managed to get away with it.

She texted a short while later 'Did you want me?' and he also texted later, probably thinking what a knob I was.

Honestly, social media stalking gives me cold sweats now the thought of an accidental like or follow.

Stalked my ex in Facebook and noticed he git married. I tagged myself on his wedding photo on his wife's pictures. It was a back shot ofvtgem walking down the aisle. People were so pleased we had rekindled our teenage love and got married......we hadn't.

This is why you need a fake profile.

Don’t do social media but I once wrote a long email slagging off someone at work meaning to send it to a friend and absentmindedly sent it to the person I was slagging off. And then immediately took a long phone call (it was a callcentre) and watched their facial expressions as they read through the email and then turned to me as I tried to act and speak nonchalantly to the caller as though nothing had happened. After the call I immediately went to the toilet and when I came back and they asked me about it I claimed I didn’t send it and my computer must have been hijacked (???!) without my knowledge.

Not me but when Instagram stories first came out I noticed that DH (he was just DP then)‘s ex wife had been looking at mine and also a bloke I had been on a couple of dates with years previously. I don’t think they realised that you could see who had viewed them. I swiftly made my profile private so both probably knew that I had ‘seen’ them once they realised how it worked. Ex-wife was probably mortified but in all honesty I don’t blame her for having a peek at the woman in her DD’s life- I would probably have done the same. It has never been mentioned and we have always been perfectly nice to each other when our paths cross.

Not social media but I once texted a friend of mine asking if she had founded a dress to wear to our friend Alan's wedding.

She wrote back "no, frustrated and so pissed off, I really wish he would call the whole thing off!".

Except, she send it to him. He was her ex, they dated for all of 5 minutes in college about 10 years before his wedding, never serious, just both bored and single at the same time. She was pissed off she couldn't find a dress as she had put on weight and was in no way impacted or upset about him getting married.

Cue a call from Alan telling her he was sorry she was upset and that he never knew her feelings were that strong but that he could not longer have her at the wedding out of respect for his wife. She tried to explain but he wasn't hearing it. Friendship group never really recovered but we laugh about it now.

Scrolling through Instagram stories I somehow managed to send Cynthia Nixon a gif of Peppa Pig saying "Feliz Cumple!" 🙄

Every one of my facebook statuses from 2007 to about 2009. I keep getting facebook memories pop up and I think "fucking shut up you giant twat".

My cousin posted a naked full frontal (from neck down) with the question “do you want to try anal tonight?”.

She was in the west coast of the US and it was 2am their time. So just in time for the UK contingent to get a good view over their cornflakes.

She claimed she’d been hacked.

Beware the hackers who break into your bedroom to take nudie pics of you before “hacking” your phone.

😂 same

Back when I was a wayward youth, I went to send a snapchat to a friend ‘the morning after’. I was still drunk, and so sent the place marker type photo of his leg/the floor with the caption ‘fuck, that was appalling. What a waste of a beautiful man. Pick me up?’ to him
I beat a somewhat hasty retreat 😂

This was back in the olden days of Facebook. Had a casual stalk of my boyfriend’s ex girlfriend. Then posted a status update about the roast I was cooking for him. Only it wasn’t a status update, it was a comment on her wall.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Can people do some more please, these are great!

My worst one was when I was checking out my ex-husband’s girlfriend’s page to see what all the fuss was about and accidentally added her as a friend. Not as bad as some of these but still mortifying at the time.

@firetruckmum

This is absolute gold. 🤣 I’m in hysterics over here.

I’ve actually done the accidental tagging thing myself and that was mortifying, but the ex’s new gf is next level. Thanks for sharing!

This thread is destined for classics, surely. I’ve never laughed so hard on mumsnet. More please!

I've accidentally clicked on randoms for friend requests when scrolling through group posts.

Posted a photo of my newborn asleep mom my lap, on a breastfeeding pillow. Don't know whether it was because I'd done it on my phone, but I could see nothing untoward my end (as it were). A friend messaged me about ten minutes later pointing out you could see a lot of my pubes. A lot. I took down the photo down but leaned into the embarrassment. We now photoshops pubes into quite a few photos and tag each other because we're still about 12.
