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.

Not me exactly, but my phone. My toddler DD got hold of my phone, and managed to initiate an Instagram voice chat with a man I met on an adult thumb sucking forum (not sexual!) in 2005. He wrote a really polite message saying he remembers me and is sorry he missed my call but he wasn't sure what we would say to each other, as he'd finally given up sucking his thumb...

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

This proper cracked me up

Oh i actually got hacked once and the hackers sent hardcore porn images to half my contacts...i was really upset.., my boss was in hysterics!

On s lighter note i set my status to DH name when i first met him and was showing his profile to my mates.

😂😂 was it even her birthday?

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

OMFG

Photos of us on holiday taken in hotel room - didn’t notice the bottle of Durex lube on the bedside table behind me.

Have also accidentally tagged myself - why is it so easy to do? Who invented that?!

Someone accidentally messaged me suggesting a game of guessing who the father of my baby was. I was not impressed.

@StFrancisdeCompostela

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.

Ooohhh oh no. 🤣

I still don’t really understand how this one happened, but happen it did!

My cousin wanted to show me pictures of his trip to gay mardi gra. He showed me on his phone, and I asked him to send them to me. He did send them to me - and to everyone else in my contacts.

Not really my mistake, but recently I was tagged in a photo where DH was doing something I knew my brother would really take the piss out of. If I'd known it was coming, I would have asked my friend not to tag me. My bro did see it and did take the piss, but in a more good-natured way than I'd expected.

Most of what I posted in the early days of FB

Not social media as I don’t use it, but I’ve definitely previously sent a text slagging someone off to the subject by accident…mortifying. That was 15 years ago at university and I learned my lesson.

Added my ex fiancés 'other woman' as a friend when having a stalk of her Facebook profile back in the day when you couldn't undo the friend request! IIRC I deactivated my Facebook profile and created a new one claiming I had been hacked 🤦🏼‍♀️

Not me but my Mum once woke me at 0800 one morning when we were on a family holiday. Total panic. Someone had posted their Dad had died the previous day. He meant to press the care emjoi and instead pressed the haha one.

About 100 likes etc, mixture of likes, love & care and then my Mums. Haha.

I showed her how to change it & we still cast it up to her!

Someone I used to know posted photos of herself and her older dh and someone replied "Aww that's a lovely photo of you and your dad." He came on a bit offended and posted "Her dad huh!"

Don't ask why I felt the need to share such a boring status, but about 13 years ago I announced to all my Facebook friends I'd had a fun day 'cilit banging' with a picture of my clean bathroom.
Only I had accidently written Clit Banging.
I only realised when my mum rang me to ask what I was thinking

I had a question about a broken oven, so took a picture of it and posted it on the Facebook group for our apartment block (some flats have the same oven). It's an under counter oven, so I crouched down to take the picture. A neighbour posted "We can see your knickers!" I wasn't wearing any 😬😬😬

P.S I live in a very hot country and it's common to walk around indoors with just a light dress on, I honestly wasn't being kinky!

I just woke the dog up laughing at this!

😂 these are amazing!

My aunt thought LOL meant lots of love. I and others have told her it doesn’t, but she won’t have it so we sit back and watch the comedy gold.
“So sorry your cat died, lol, Val”
“I’ll be thinking of you at your mum’s funeral, lol, Val”
“Speedy recovery from your fall, LOL!”
on a friend’s newborn baby photo, not a pretty newborn as still squished from birth
“What a BEAUTY! LOL, Val”

And on seeing a photo of a leg in plaster: “I told you to take it easy on those stairs, lol, Val”

@KloppsTeeth I love Aunty Val - what a legend!

One of my friends got steaming drunk a few years ago and decided to Facebook stalk her exes new girlfriend, unfortunately instead of discreetly typing their name in the search bar they typed their name into the “update my statue” bit - resulting in about 30 posts with various misspelled versions of the poor girls name

And yes she was still friends with the ex who saw the whole thing!

I was FB stalking a performer I liked. There was a lovely photo of his newborn baby, which wasn’t remotely funny… on a later occasion (which I think wasn’t even the same day, I was back on it and suddenly spotted a “haha” reaction on it from me which I assume I’d somehow accidentally left while scrolling through.
We do, at least now, have at least 1 mutual friend. Not sure we did then, but I’ve got that excuse ready for if anyone ever questions it (it must have come up on our friend’s feed…)

I once commented on picture how awful their plate of food looked, along the lines of "looks like your dog threw up on your plate" but worse. I thought it was a photo in the group on FB called "Rate my plate ".

It wasn't until later that my local slimmingword leader (also my boss at another job) messaged me saying she had to delete my post as a member had complained and was quite upset by what I'd said. Turned out it wasn't rate my plate, it was a photo posted on my local slimmingworld group page. I was (and still am) absolutely fucking mortified.

A little while ago I decided to join Twitter. I never Tweeted anything, just lurked, but one day I read an article on there about Timpsons (the key cutting firm) and their attitude towards employing ex-prisoners. I decided to retweet it with the comment "Timpsons are great!"

About 2 days later DH pointed out that "Timpsons" had auto-corrected and I'd actually Tweeted "Tampons are great!". Luckily, as I only had about 3 followers on Twitter I hadn't embarrassed myself to the whole world.

Oh my goodness, some of these are priceless!

Back in the days of blackberry messenger, it used to tell you who had recently updated their profile pic or status update.

A friend of mine (not a close one) changed her profile pic to a nude where she was bending over in front of a mirror and then taking a photo in the mirror. So you could see her whole lips and butthole.
I quickly scrolled past it, not my business.
About 20min later she changed it back to a normal photo of her and updated her status to something like '/shocking what some people send !" Trying to imply it totally wasn't her labia that had been accidentally broadcast to her whole contact list instead of her bf. She must've been mortified. Poor lass

I screenshotted a WhatsApp conversation and sent it back to them - twice it was nothing bad or bitchy, just with the caption "oh x really liked the gift you picked up for her" and something else equally mundane but I felt sneaky because x realised I shared our messages
