This Online Group Showcases People Who Pretend They Didn’t Deliberately Do Something And Here’s 30 Of The Most Cringeworthy Examples
It can be pretty tempting to jump to lying after, for example, texting your crush goes horribly wrong. "Omg, my friend stole my phone and sent you that message as a joke, that totally wasn't me. I would never say that, lol."
But there's only so much bending a narrative can take. Overdo it, and you're exposed. Plus, people aren't as gullible as we might think.
And I have the perfect subreddit to back up these claims. It's called r/OopsDidntMeanTo and the pictures its members share expose all kinds of "accidents."
From bringing a Labrador to a meeting with a dog-phobic person to buying a Range Rover, here are some of the most ridiculous ones. If these situations won't prove to you that it's better to just accept your embarrassment than run away from it, nothing will.

Oops Putin Didn't Mean To
Bella DePaulo, Ph.D., a psychologist at the University of Virginia, said that lying is simply a condition of life. In her research she found that both men and women lie in approximately a fifth of their social exchanges lasting 10 or more minutes. And over the course of a week, we deceive about 30 percent of people we have one on one interactions with.
There are, however, some differences between the sexes. Women are more likely to tell altruistic lies to avoid hurting other people’s feelings, and men are more likely to lie about themselves. De Paulo discovered that men lie more often to impress. Consider this: a typical conversation between two guys contains about eight times as many self-oriented lies as it does lies about others.
I Hate It When That Happens
I'm Sure The Cnn Editor Just Forgot It
What A Tragedy
Oh I hate when that happens *hair flip*. I tried to dye my hair darker because it was a bit straw-like, and it turned to gold. Poor me. Married to the king, feeling cute, might lose baby to an imp guy later, idk 💋 Kisses!
Of course, not all lies are harmful. In fact, sometimes lying is the best approach for protecting privacy and ourselves and others from malice. Some deception, such as boasting and lies in the name of tact and politeness, for example, can also be classified as less than serious.
But bald-faced lies (whether they involve leaving out the truth or putting in something false), are harmful, as they corrode trust and intimacy—the glue of society. No wonder these people got shamed for it!

Of course! I've heard when they're alone on a beach with an unknown man zooming in on them, it relaxes them to this extent.

Excuse me ma'am, I'm a random photographer and have been taking photos of you from afar. Would you like copies to upload to your social media?

Yeah, right. Some rando not only takes her pictures but also gives them to her to post online.
Hey BP. You put this entry in the wrong article. It should be in “ This Online Community Shares “Totally True Stories That Definitely 100% Happened” And Here’re 30 Of The Most Hilarious Ones”
I hate these types of posts... Right up there with "caught me sleeping...." Facepalm
What's wrong with "look at these great photos I worked on yesterday with [name of photographer]"?
Do their followers actually believe this nonsense? Then again...people were buying bathwater a while back.
These types of posts are potentially dangerous. Younger people might believe that these situations (the fairy tale ones, understand fame and fortune from just walking on the beach) happen in real life and won't be alarmed if some creep takes pictures of them.
So normally you don't want strangers to take your pictures at the beach, except when they 'accidentally' turn out to be super charming
At first i was freaked out I had a stalker, but then I saw the shots... And OMG!! I feel like it was just meant to be ya know? Like he just loves me as much as I love me, what could go wrong?!
She’s gorgeous of course but these pics get on my nerves ! The top right something about the swinging of her arms bothers me ! 😂
Sure, but when I take photos of females at the beach, that I don't know, I am a "creep".. *EYEROLL*
I can imagine her saying unintentional, and spontaneous photo shoots in a super dramatic high pitched voice. Lol
She looks so wooden in every pic I can’t figure out what she’s trying to achieve. Maybe getting a non-ugly bathing suit that fits would help. And a real photographer.
Not at all creepy, walking around within 15 feet of some perv taking photos of you, then?
And I'm sure you were perfectly fine with some stranger taking pictures of you in a bikini without your knowledge. You're so full of s*I# your eyes are brown.
Yeah (accidentally poses in cutesy selfie pose) oh some random person took a photo of me walking back and forth in a revealing swim suit yeah sure.
Becus it's okay if if a random stranger takes photos of you halfway dancing on the beach in a bikini
yeah and you just happened to be posing for crying out loud its a nice picture just take credit for it why lie
So Quirky
"Accidental" or not, I am thoroughly jealous that I am not rocking that suit.

This was done intentionally by the jackhole developer. Resulting lawsuit determined that he must now replace the tree at his own considerable expense (more than $335k.) Another incident cost the culprit $700k - they had to sell their house to cover the cost of replacing the tree.

When your phone really takes a picture by accident its not a perfectly posed flattering picture its usually a close up of your nose or ear or something 😂
And for the pics of the phone/camera "falling", wouldn't the pics, or some of them, come out blurry? Or do they take these amazing pics while they are moving? (Not the video or slow panoramic pics.) I'm not up to speed with the photo tech and what it can/can't do.

Why do people lie? To intentionally try and deceive people, just why? I cannot stand a liar.
Because they're unhappy with who they really are. It's sad and pathetic.

Man I do not understand people who think they have to lie to post pics. "I look nice" "Damn I have a fine ass" Be f*****g proud of it, you'll seem SIGNIFICANTLY less vain if you're just honest about it.
My son (then 7y) once accidently published photos of his pumpkins as introductory photos on a map for an office in the neighbourhood. Gave him my phone to take the pictures and when I got the phone back, I noticed what he managed to do. I hope the place managed to remove the pictures. I was really glad, that I never take any nudes. :-)
I'm guessing these guys have something like a chunnibyou? Except that believing that they have superpowers, they feel the need to gain attention?
The attention these people are lacking in their life is just sad that they have to do this
People seem to be incredibly narcissistic and attention seeking these days, it’s really off-putting. Still…if that makes them happy, more power to them but their constant need to lie is a little disturbing
I think the only time I accidentally took an unwanted photo on my phone is when some idiot decided to cross my line-of-sight while I was trying to photograph something I want.
Or not, got the point wrong, how do I delete this?
