There are plenty of reasons why a company might use social media. Increasing brand awareness and website traffic, generating leads, and managing their reputation are just a few of them. But whatever its intentions are, a business uses Instagram, Facebook, and other platforms for its own gain. And people see right through it. So when nonsensical corporate BS appears on their feed, they often respond to it, reminding its authors that they're not fooling anyone.

Twitter account "Brands Getting Owned" is the place to go if you want to check out these savage roasts. It shares fan-submitted screenshots of exchanges companies wish to forget, and as its bio says, tries to dismantle capitalism one L at a time. Continue scrolling for the pics.

Reptile feces almost always contains salmonella. In this case, 7-Eleven obviously knows this a health risk and probably a code violation.

    Probably one of the biggest corporate social media fails we covered here at Bored Panda was the time Burger King said that "Women belong in the kitchen." Do you remember? They picked the best time for this phrase, too. The company tweeted it during International Women's Day when everyone was celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women across the globe.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Burger King's tweet caused quite a spectacle—it was described as a misogynistic and outdated remark towards women's role in society.

    The company's social media team shortly followed the tweet with an explanation that their aim was to draw attention to the fact that only 20% of professional chefs in the UK are women and that they are under-represented in the culinary industry—they have decided to use International Women’s Day as an opportunity to advertise their culinary scholarship which offers financial assistance to women who work at Burger King and aspire to an academic degree in culinary arts.

    But it was already too late. Eventually, the original “controversial” tweet was deleted and Burger King has issued an apology.

    I'm from Australia, so I don't know for sure, but apparently in the US, if you ask for an itemised hospital bill, they somehow miraculously remove *quite a lot* of the fees. Presumably, this is what New York Presbyterian were going to do. You're right though, It wouldn't be hard to find out who he is. How many 34-year-olds named Joshua had a stroke and were charged $39K?

    We are commanded to earn a living with our work: "Make it your goal to lead a quiet life, to take care of your own affairs, & to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you. Thus, you will live properly in the sight of those who are ‘outside’ & you will lack nothing." 1 Thes 4:11,12 "You know how you should imitate us: we did not behave as rebels among you, & we did not eat bread from anyone’s hand without paying for it. We were in labor & hardship, working night & day, so that we might not burden any of you... For even when we were with you, we gave you this instruction: “Anyone who will not work should not eat either.” Yet we hear about some among you who live in rebellion, not working at all but interfering in other people’s lives. By our Lord Jesus Christ, we command & exhort those who live this way to work quietly & to eat their own bread." 2 Thes 3:7-12

    There are plenty of ways you can screw up on social media. Nasty comments, rude tweets, a timeline full of misspellings and other faux pas; the possibilities are endless. And they're usually easy enough to fix or delete without it seeming like the end of the world. If you're a regular person.

    Not so much for those big business accounts. Of course, corporations are people too—but they're people under constant scrutiny by the jury of the Internet. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

    There is no shame in this--it's a very basic job that does not require any skills...it is a "starter job that teaches you basic skills and how the whole "job" thing works--how to work with others, basic skills, etc. It's part-time for people who have other things, such as school, and such to earn some money...it's not meant for survival, it's a part-time JOB!! You need to think about the bigger picture, such as keeping costs down...surly most of you had a "starter" job---sure the pay's not great--it's training for the future.

    The shame is huge and should be! "Training" has been an excuse for many employers so they can give shitty wages! What they are doing should be illegal and actually for me is a reason to stop going as a customer! The only way they will learn to respect workers! Part time workers need to be respected as well!

    People keep talking about "side hustles" like this. If people were paid living wages, we wouldn't *need* side hustles. Here in France, the SMIC (minimum wage) is updated every year to keep up with the cost of living. The result? We have the world's seventh largest economy and in much of France, you can afford to buy a house on minimum wage. Add to that the fact that we have no medical bankruptcies, dirt-cheap university education, and less crime than the US, it's a pretty sweet deal.

    Most artists have to hold down some kind of normal job to pay the bills while they pursue their passion; this is true no matter where in the world you live. This has nothing to do with minimum wage or living wage, it's about being an artist.

    So everyone is advocating for a $15 p/h minimum wage - which would be great if we were living in 1997 when the idea first came out. However, to pay a living wage now - and I'm talking bare minimum, you need to pay $22 an hour. If you want to pay people the minimum wage as it should be paid - single income household, car, vacation, house, college for the kids... then you need to pay closer to $35 an hour. Then again, the husband makes close to $50 an hour and I still need to have a job to be able to pay all the bills for all 7 of us, and get groceries. Cause Millennials go t screwed in the job market - tHaNks bOoMeRs, signed Millennials and Gen X-ers.

    Vermont is in the top ten highest minimum wages in the country. It was an ignorant move to attack Sanders over this. 'Just Amazon being terrified of organized labor (aka unions).

    I live in NH but work in VT. The minimum wage in NH is still $7.25/hour..I make much more doing the same job just a few minutes over the border. And no, I don't work minium wage. I work in social work, still doesn't pay great, but at least I feel like it's worth it here.

    Don't fall for those "20% of proceeds go to charity" garbage either. If a million people buy a $20 t-shirt, the company gets to donate $4 million to charity...and a huge tax write-off to balance the $16 million in profit they just made off your gullibility. Just donate to the charity yourself...and get your own tax deduction.

    How about never advertising what you donate - simply send a press release and keep them under Charity or Community on the website. If you have to work that hard to make yourselves feel good, something is seriously wrong with you. (as a company or as an individual)

    Corporate social media strategies can sometimes backfire, as seen in several instances. One notable example was when a fast-food giant used a tweet on a significant day meant to celebrate women.

    The situation sparked conversations about the intentions and reactions of such brand communications which can be explored further here.

    This is a spurious argument used to shut down people who want to see climate change addressed at an international level. The reality is we live in the world that exists, not the one we want in the future. People who want to see change still need to operate in society as it is currently organized. Sure, you can make SOME responsible personal choices, but you cannot realistically participate in the modern world without using the products of harmful industries such as the petro-chemical industry.

    The only reason I liked Snapple over anything else was the glass bottles, the negative environmental impact of their disposal is negligible compared with other materials. It doesn't matter how inappropriately glass is disposed of, it is inert. Over time it will weather and erode back into the silica it was made from. Unlike plastics which are mobile and will affect the environment for a very long time.

    The American obsession with trucks makes no f'n sense. Most truck owners never even use their truck for hauling or large loads, there's NO reason for them to own one. They're usually twice the price of a decent car, guzzle gas, hog the road, and don't fit in parking spots. Just rent a truck the 1-2 times a year you actually need one, seriously.

    Thank you! My specs are uneven by about 10mm and they claimed they were straight.

    I mean, you do end up having to readjust your glasses no matter how high the quality of the fit, but the better the fit the less you do end up having to readjust.

    It does say reuse the sprayer, not the bottle...

    The bottle is recyclable, but the screw on sprayer is usually not recyclable so it's good they're doing this. Yes, it would be better if the refills weren't plastic but it's a step towards closing the loop, away from single use plastics.

    Sprayers (and many other items) are not recyclable because they are a composite made of multiple plastic types which would be very difficult to separate mechanically. If you were to disassemble it into its component pieces, those pieces would be recyclable. By the time you go through all that effort, you would be better-off to just re-use it.

    So, they're literally promoting reusing roughly 15% of the product to be "green." *facepalm*

    That much processed meat is lethal! By which I mean, if you eat it at least twice a week you WILL get bowel cancer.

    EA, what the f*ck did you do to Maxis? Can you stop killing everyone's hopes and dreams for one second? You're the worst thing to happen to gaming, EA. Spore could've been so much more but NOOOOO! "Think of the children!" you say as you give them a literal slot machine!

    They don't seem to understand that if they pay their employees a decent wage, people will support the company.

    They will still make a profit and in these times, they will also have employees

    if your company can't pay a living wage to employees, it shouldn't exist, period

    This isn't really a burn, it's just policy or habit. I default to mate or friend when trying to keep the tone of a message friendly or polite too, particularly when voicing disagreement.

    If you gain points for being crazy and out of touch with reality, who would win, Musk or Trump...

    Trump wins because Musk isn't a sh*tty orange Hitler clone.
