50 People Who Learned To Think Twice Before Correcting Someone, As Shared By The ‘People Incorrectly Correcting Other People’ Facebook Page
Everyone likes to feel like they’re an expert in something. Whether that’s science, cooking, politics, parenting, or anything else, really. And though we might have some deeper insights in our chosen field and feel like we can see a broader context than most other people, it’s important to (try and) stay humble.
Because the moment we feel all sure of ourselves when we drop a ‘truth’ bomb on social media, we might come to realize that we’ve totally messed up. Oh God, we had it wrong all along! And now someone’s poking fun at us online for everyone to see.
Welcome to ‘People Incorrectly Correcting Other People,’ a popular Facebook group that shames internet users who spread wildly incorrect facts while trying to prove someone wrong. Scroll down for some major embarrassment, Pandas, and let us know which of these situations really made you feel bad about all of the secondhand awkwardness.

"Glad to be part of your learning journey today." I have to remember that lol
Lol, yea in most estern countries you can drink and buy alcohol after you're 18, in the US you cán buy a rifle at 18, but God forbid you have a beer before you're 21 lolololol
A whopping 663.9k people follow the ‘People Incorrectly Correcting Other People’ Facebook page. In the last month alone, another 1,890 users joined the group. Created just 2 years ago, the project has kept growing and growing.
After all, the internet’s chock full of totally wrong opinions, as well as entitled and arrogant people who think they’ve got it all figured out (while others are dum-dums). That probably won’t change any time in the future, so the PICOP group will have plenty of material to share with others for years to come.
All members of the group are expected to be kind to one another and avoid harassing or insulting anyone. Otherwise, they’ll be banned.
That means no bullying, no hate speech, and absolutely respecting everyone else’s privacy.
Meanwhile, when it comes to content, Facebook users are asked to avoid reposting pics. Before you go ahead and share something you think might fit the tone of the group, check out what some of the other members have already posted. You might have spotted the same thing that a dozen others have spotted online! And if you want to make it easier for the audience to get what’s going on in your screenshots, you can also add a bit of context.
The simple fact of the matter is that we all make mistakes. Like it or not, that’s just the truth about life: we’re never going to be 100% correct, 100% of the time. And most of us have probably been in situations where we turned out to be flat-out wrong. It’s embarrassing to make a fool of yourself.
That’s why dealing with these feelings in a healthy manner and learning to embrace your mistakes are good skills to have for any human being. Digging in your heels, closing your eyes, and plugging your ears so as not to hear that you’re actually incredibly wrong really isn’t the mature way to go about things.
A while back, Bored Panda had a very good conversation about dealing with any feelings of embarrassment that might arise—whether now or remembering mess-ups in the past—with environmental psychologist and well-being consultant Lee Chambers.
"While embarrassment can be a challenging feeling that is fleeting or overwhelming, being able to find a response that assists rather than a reaction that is unhealthy is a skill to build," he said that we can all develop ways to handle embarrassing situations better. Humor, for instance, is one powerful tool in your arsenal.
So much potential for the Thirteenth Doctor, but it got wasted on trying to make the show relevant and having to wait a full year between series. Hopefully now that RTD is back at the helm the show will become enjoyable again and can't wait to see what's in store for the Fourteenth Doctor.
"If it's something that isn't particularly serious, laughter can be a great response that instantly makes you feel better," he told Bored Panda.
"If the feelings are intense, try taking a few slow, deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth, calming your nervous system and physiological response,” he explained.
So, let me get this straight. Women are warriors who can just grit their teeth and get through the most extreme pain. Men, on the other hand, are huge wussies who whimper and cry, then curl up and die if they have a slight headache or get a paper cut. Wow, you just spilled the beans on the “big tough guy” scam men have been running forever—-and that women never believed anyway.
i am a woman and i will indeed cry if i get a paper cut (that s**t hurtssss)
Load More Replies...Thank you for clarifying that no woman should ever go anywhere near you.
I wish people who utter things like that would get a temp tattoo on their forehead - temporary, because people can change to the better. But they should be tested for continued stupidity before the tattoo goes away.
Load More Replies...Looks like Heshan won't ever be needing condoms in his life given his ignorance.
well, if he's a good sex partner he will. but that doesn't mean his partner will be female. jus' sayin".
Load More Replies...exactly my thoughts! Let's do that and see how well he handles pain!
Load More Replies...So what he's saying is... women are the stronger sex? Also, I did almost black out from the pain while getting an IUD, but the perspective of 5 years with no period cramps made it worth it. Make of that what you will.
Goodness me, I am not a woman! What am I going to do with all these bras.
It's not often a post makes you face palm AND go "oh Jesus" at the same time 🤦♀️
He doesn't believe this. The subtext here is that he, and others who say such things, believe that women DESERVE to suffer in pain and this is one way for him to try to justify it using "facts" and "biology". Undoubtedly, he is also a master at gaslighting and other emotional/psychological forms of torture against women as well. Also, when he's ready, I have a small piece of wired plastic ready to be inserted up his d!ckhole without anesthesia or pain relief. Tell him to call for his appointment.
Brought to you by the same idiots who thought that babies were too young to feel pain and that black people had a higher tolerance for pain so performing necessary or experimental surgeries on them with no anesthesia was fine. Some doctors still believe that black people have a higher tolerance for pain and will deny treatment for fear that they are just seeking narcotics.
The baby thing is a myth, nobody thought they couldn't feel pain - they just weren't able to administer anesthesia safely for their tiny bodies for a while, so they didn't risk it.
Load More Replies...How to say "I physically assault women routinely" without actually saying it.
And still people, including doctors, think that women are the weaker sex. We are used to pain, OK? If we complain, it's really, really, REALLY painful.
WRONG Heshan A woman has to endure the pain of listening to stupid men like you spout off your ignorance and that is the worst.
Woman DO have a higher pain tolerance but that doesn’t mean they don’t feel pain. It just means a finger prick would hurt less for a woman than it would for a man. If she blacks out from pain she is in immense pain, and men can endure a condom
The f**k?? I damn near passed out from the pain of getting IUD inserted. F**k you for saying we are biologically made to endure body pain! You know what,men wouldn't be able to handle it! (Sorry no offense, mostly meant for the jerk who said that BS!!) 🤬🤬
Worst pain I ever felt in my life. I never had a procedure that was so unexpectedly shocking and painful. I remember not being able to sleep easily that night, I kept thinking about it. No, women were not made to have a plastic piece jabbed through their cervix.
this whole list is full of idiots but this is the one that really makes me want to give that man a digital high five to the face. sorry. I'm not usually this mean. just a female who hurts too sometimes
Sorry, I used all of mine to not have a breakdown reading this.
Load More Replies...Heshan sounds like a rapist, doesn't he. Women were *made* to endure body pain? SMDH
That's a perfect example why men should not be allowed to make decisions about a woman's body.
I actually spit my drink out on my screen. If they were "made to endure pain," wouldn'tcha think they'd be the best people to 🔸️put out on a battlefield? 🔸️engage in competitive sports? Or maybe even 🔸️b***h slap stupid people? Admittedly, the fact that only female ballet dancers train & perform in pointe shoes does sorta go to your point....
"that's why I regularly beat the 13 year old bride I bought for my last arranged marriage" 😂
No, I'm not made to endure pain. Getting an IUD is no joke. My first one was inserted by an OB/GYN nurse and they didn't advise me to take ibuprofen before and did not use a numbing agent. I started to pass out. They just left a pad on the counter for bleeding and left me alone. Breaking my foot was less painful. My 2nd one the actual Dr. Did the procedure and held my hand afterwards until I felt ok to sit up and walk. I have never had kids and apparently a small cervix so forced dilation can be excruciating. My husband made sure to have a heating pad and a bottle of vodka ready for me at home. And cheesecake. If cheesecake or lasagna can't fix it nothing will.
Oooh, look, another man telling a woman what her body can and can't do! Hoorah for the wanker!
I am a man and have had a cold. No amount of pain a woman can ever feel would be worse than that. SMH.
Good lord. Men like this walk the earth, in this year 2022 of our lord. SMH
but i thought men were the big strong ones? if i kick you in the balls, Heshan, then you should take it like a man, right? /s
Maybe Heshan could wear one over his entire face if, and it's a big IF he ever gets near a woman.
I just had to downvote this, it's too ridiculous to be made public. Some other persons might believe it. Omg.
I wish, people would get maps and stop telling me 'Belgium" is a city in Germany.
“In a similar way to laughter, smiling can be effective in shifting your state to the positive. There are times when playing down or even ignoring the feelings can be helpful in the moment, taking the edge off, but it is important that you accept them and express them if it's something significant," the psychologist said.
“Because the feelings of embarrassment are generated from a past event, anything that brings you into the present moment can bring relief. Try to avoid saying sorry, as it will keep taking you back to the moment. You can even keep your biggest embarrassing moments top of mind, having reflected and realized that in hindsight, they weren't as big an issue as you felt at the time.”
Have you ever messed up big-time when expressing an opinion or sharing a ‘fact’ online, dear Pandas? How did you feel when you realize you made a huge mistake? Do you ever call out folks who are totally wrong on social media? Share your experiences and opinions with us, we’d love to hear what you think.
I'm sure Mercury the planet would also sink in water, so the statement still stands!
when 13 players out of 22 are from African heritage you can get the joke, but also the fact that 50 players in the World Cup were born in France, and because of the double nationality they chose to represent an other country
Christ on a bike! I've never played Halo but at least I know who Master Chief is. He makes a mean apple pie
Please correct me if i m wrong here... Oceania is the name of continent where Australia and New Zealand belongs to...

Two thirds of these supposedly stupid comments are jokes. Are we just meant to act like they are genuine comments to feel superior or something?
Ding Ding Ding! You discovered the purpose of most internet "discussions"!
Load More Replies...The real idiot responses are the ones from people taking the most obvious troll bait I’ve seen in a while.
It's so sad. What the dumbing down of our educational system has produced.
Last time I commented on one of these making fun of igorance lists I got in trouble. At first you feel superior and roll your eyes but as you scroll down it get depressing and you, or perhaps just I, begin to feel rather mean and condescending and don't like myself. Next time I hope I'll just pass instead.
