Accidentally liked boyfs ex photo on Facebook notified

[Embarrassedhelpme]

Please help me . I am absolutely mortified. ( not notified ) I was having a nose at my boyfs ex on fb .
Ended up down the rabbit hole of looking at photos from about 6 years ago like you do. Not obsessing or anything like that very happy with my boyfriend just having a look as was interested. Anyway I only went and accidently liked a photo of her with my boyfriends sister of all people ... I was horrified and went to unlike however my phone was then locked and the time it took me to unlock my phone I went back to the pic and unliked it. So prob around 5 seconds it was liked for.
Anyway I am obviously mortified and my friend suggested blocking her instantly as apparently this stops her seeing the likes. Does anyone know if this is true please? I'm sat with a red face atm . Not only could she have possibly seen the like but my boyfriend and his sister also ... omg I've learnt never ever to nose on fb again 😳😳😳

I accidentally shared a photo of someone I'd been having a snoop at. I didn't realise until I got several notifications from various friends asking me if I was ok. I blocked the person and to this day, I have no idea if he knew I'd shared his photo.

I was checking out the FB account of a new workmate and accidentally liked a post about her dad's funeral. 😳 I didn't even realise straight away. Bit awks as I'd barely spoken to her at that point.

😂😂😂🙈

I did that, only not my boyfriend, my boss.
So all my colleagues saw.

I don't have a fb any more, I just talk to mumsnetters anonymously so if I embarrass myself, nobody irl knows 😂

these are all hilarious

They really are :) cheering me right up actually

My ex's next girlfriend, who was now also his ex, once added me on fbk, clearly by mistake! The notification came up on my phone and I thought "that's odd" and ignored it for about 30 mins. By the time I went to check my phone, she had removed the request and blocked me! I just thought it was funny tbh! 😁

Don't panic.... Everyone has done something like this. Some of these posts are absolutely hilarious !!

Don't panic. If you unlike something (and they hadn't looked at notification yet), they will get a notification that it was liked, but not by who. My friend was liked one of my photos and then unliked it and this is what happened.

Bit of a tenuous link but my best friend's DD's school friend's mum (I'll call her Sarah) is also the DIL of my DB's ex wife, i.e. no relation. Sarah has seen me maybe twice. I don't sleep well and used to be very active on social media years ago when housebound during a serious illness.

One night I received a notification that Sarah had liked a photo at around 3am...from 2012. She'd looked through hundreds of photos to get there. Sarah quickly deleted the 'like' but too late. It made me laugh and tighten up my privacy settings. I'm beyond boring so it isn't just ex's that FB stalk.

Oops that's my worst nightmare I have fat fingers and every time I have a nosy I really take care notcto press the share button I always worry I have shared some random person who i have tenuous links to pictures etc.

I accidentally liked my ex boyfriends ex girlfriends bikini pic on insta 😬😬😬 I was trying to zoom in on a tattoo and gahhhh

We've all been there.

On an adjacent note, I hate that the hug / care emoji is right next to the laughing emoji. I live in abject fear of accidentally laughing on a death or illness / injury post. Which is also why I don't do much on Facebook.

Had a nosey school mum accidentally friend request me then delete it caught it clearly. Screenshot had a good giggle with a few other school mums and never mentioned it to her.

Depending on how their notifications are set up it might well say “embarrassed liked your photo” but then when she clicks it just won’t load which photo as the like isn’t there anymore.

FAFO, OP. Just stay off other people's social media. Block her so it won't happen again.

I’ve been here since 2012 and I’ve never laughed so much 😂

My sister did something on Facebook - she entered our SIL’s name to search her profile but instead put it in the status bar. SIL commented “yes?” 😂

Own it. I did this when I was first dating my now husband.

I tried the whole block and log out approach, probably failed and eventually ignored it. We actually ran into her months later and I wanted the ground to swallow me up but as we walked away I said to him ‘I already knew who she was as I’d been snooping and accidentally like her photo’ - he laughed and said he wasn’t surprised as I’m so nosy 🤣

You win 😂

Ignore all the posters trying to make you feel better OP. You know deep down that you have no option but to fake your own death and go on the run with a new identity.

@Embarrassedhelpme go back and unlike it!!

OP wait til you hear mine!

So I saw that my ex boyfriends new girlfriend had liked a video reel I put on instagram of myself.. just a self video of myself coming back from the gym, showing my new workout clothes etc really vapid stuff. It was there for about 10 mins before disappearing, so she obviously realised and unliked it.

I now had her full name so then stalked her back on Facebook... and she had comments open to the public. I forgot I was on her page and posted on her FB something that I was meant to post on my own status...

This is the best bit....

AND I only realised that Id done this THE NEXT DAY when I saw the status I had written wasn't on my own Facebook. I remembered whose Facebook I had been on the day before (I don't use it much) and where i must of posted it.

I was so mortified I didn't even go back to try and rectify.

My post about my poor health and my cat is probably still on her page somewhere.

God it's hilarious now.

I've heard they're getting married BTW. I hope my idiocy brought them closer. I wonder if she admitted she stalked me first. Bet she didn't.

I am literally 😂at some of these. I was deep in someone's profile (luckily several degrees of separation as I'd gone down a rabbit hole) and accidentally shared some guy's status about meeting his birth father for the first time. The post I shared was from two years earlier so I was deep in his profile. I didn't realise I'd done it until the next morning when I saw a notification that my 90-something year old great aunt had commented "how lovely" on the post I'd shared. We didn't have any mutuals and don't live anywhere near each other so the guy must have been really puzzled re why some random shared his post.

These are great. I haven't genuinely laughed out loud on mumnset for years!

But some of these posts. I'm cringing for you.

But we've all done it!

We've all been there. I was snooping the profile of a woman I had concerns about to see just how many of her posts my now-ex had loved (pretty much all of them). I accidentally liked and swiftly unliked one and felt mortified. Few months later when we'd split, I find out there was indeed something going on. I was bang on the money.

Does anyone remember a couple of years ago when Facebook had a glitch so if you stalked someone it AUTOMATICALLY SENT THEM A FRIEND REQUEST?!

Chills. Actual ice cold chills at the potential horror. Luckily I'd been very restrained in my stalking ways but ooooh god I felt so sorry for allllllll of the people caught out by that. At first it would have been just 'huh that's a random request, must have accidentally added me from 'people you know'. But then once it became KNOWN what the friend request actually meant. Oh god I could vomit with the secondary embarrassment of it all
