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.

Back when we first went in to lockdown, my work friend (i'll call her Jane) rushed back from an overseas trip. Lockdown was announced the day before they landed, so she ended up having to quarantine at home for 2 weeks on arrival with her partner (Bill).

Jane is lovely but a bit of a control freak. I texted our mutual colleague (Sarah) saying 'I"m glad Jane is home safe, but poor Bill stuck inside with her for 2 weeks. He'll be climbing the walls, poor bugger.' Then sent it...to Jane. Probably the most heart stopping moment I've ever had. Its never been mentioned..

Oh god this thread has me in stitches!

My then DP (now DH) had come home from work on Valentine's Day. I was wearing something nice and laid out a candle lit meal.

We ended up getting absolutely trollied on lots of wine.

Anyway one thing led to another. He went to the loo and I decided to record myself on my phone as to what he had waiting for him when he came downstairs. (He didn't even take his phone to the loo.) I was just drunk and thought it would be a good idea. So I recorded it on Snapchat (for some reason) and remember thinking 'I'll save that I'm proud of that!'

Instead of saving it, I added to my story. Baps out. The lot.

I didn't realise until the morning when I woke up with a banging headache and about 100 notifications and a voicemail from my auntie telling me my whole top half nips n all are all over Snapchat.
Thankfully there was no shots of my front bottom but there they were. Tits, nips, the whole show.
Swiftly deleted it and wanted to die in the corner of my bed 😂 didn't even think of saying I'd been hacked. It was so obvious I hadn't.

I laugh about it now. But my god I was mortified. And it absolutely wasn't as sexy as I thought at the time. I was so drunk it looked like I was trying to navigate around some poorly worn dental floss.

It was bad. Really bad.

I dont know if this counts as social media but in the Olden Days I was travelling by train to a work meeting. I had just been texting a colleague to check when we were both arriving at the station. I then texted DH something to the effect of how boring the colleague was and how tedious the meeting would be only by mistake I texted colleague instead. Colleague never mentioned it, which was gracious

Sent a message to a nanny instead of our client giving her family new options when the family got rid of her.

Awesome day.

In a past job I ran social media and they were too stingy to give me a work phone. I accidentally posted something for my own Instagram story on the work one because I didn't switch out. It was all about how bored I was in the office on a Friday afternoon 🙈 managed to take it down after a very panicky half a minute but I still remember the terror.

No. I read on here once about a drunken night, a pp was having a nosy at ex new GF, she searched her name 10 times with no luck and went to bed, the pp had entered the new GF name on her status bar 10 times for everyone to see.
The story still makes me laugh.
